there are those people who stand on the picket line and oppose this thing called racism. they are in my mind, quite frankly - a bunch of fucking idiots
it is easier to rid the world of love than racism
racism has no intelligible qualities, it cannot be put to debate, it cannot be educated out of existence, or rationalized
it is pure hatred. the kind that sees something of ethnic variation to itself and is repulsed to the point of murderous rage
these people who 'vote' for racist political parties, because they see 'ethnics' taking their jobs are not racists. they are ignorant - they can be educated, they can at some point be exposed to a point of view that may shatter their original opinion and they can even feel remorse for what they once 'thought'
the true racist does not act out in the world of debate and ideas. they do not intellectualize hate. they cannot. racism has no home in the political world. its agenda is to murder this ethnicity, which is so visible and so repulsive. the home of racism is the back alley, hidden in the mind of this world. a most private place in the human frame.
they will never share it. they cannot
but they will secretly greet it in those who are brave enough to act
those who are brave enough to kill
to attempt is not enough
the political right wing are not racists. they are intellectual / emotional manipulators. this is what arouses them
the racist is aroused by murder
you do not know this hate, but you know this love
the love that has you make love
and want so much of this person that you cannot get close enough
you cannot be more 'inside' them, or they inside you
this attraction so deep, so un-quantifiable
seen through the lens of repulsion so deep,
so un-quantifiable
what will it have you do?
there is no way out
it is home
here
and will never have killed enough

what is racism?
i was thinking this the other day
racism is a combination of at least these four emotions
fear, anger, attraction and repulsion
what do you think?
