Unsafe New York: Part Thirteen

"I KNOW, I KNOW"
Why is it that today, people already "know everything" the moment they've met you? The "aha" look is so prevalent nowadays, I find it quite curious. Quite, quite. You noticed, you only have to utter something, and people have already "got you." Often, they don't let you finish your sentence and finish it for you. Often, you are left to deal with a scizophrenic behavior that is not warranted by a set of facts and circumstances presented. What is it then? A politIcs of victimhood and a propagated sense of entitlement towards resources, people and ideas one has no "entitlement" for. There is also a propagated through apparent "denial" stereotypes, especially sexist.
In the first case, people read into your body language and your tone. Now the media and the whatever has brought to be paired within it by people not unlike Maslovian specialist become the "reality" for those who have been trained like dogs to first learn the clues and then, respond to them. A certain gesture with a certain meaning. A certain behavior. A certain way of conversation. A variety is of a merchant kind: not great but prolific. So, a nod to the left means: racist. A nod to the right means: nationalist. A look straight in the eyes means: challenge. Lots of times the pairing is not only incorrect, it is deliberately made to be associated with ideas and beliefs already proclaimed as "bad." Often, these "bad" beliefs don't ever see the light of reason and true analysis, but are blanketly made to be so by some "authority". Often, fear is used to make people "understand" that that belief is bad. When the noise and manipulation settles down, people either don't remember why the belief is bad or the existing power structure has become so embedded and powerful, that they would prefer to forget all that existed before hand, and consider things from a point of view of the existing view. That is why America is such a blessed Constitutional Democracy and thankfully the Soviet Regime has fallen. It was a wide practise in the ex Republic to ehnace its stand via propaganda and cracking of the whip. If your belief in the system got shaken, you were instantly propted up by fear, threat, actual punishment, or vodka.
So, the "beliefs" being embedded into the people's minds as the "right ones" all that remains is to pair them up with certain undesirable physical behaviors and appearances. That is how people start looking and acting like one another and in accordance to the original type, manufactured and created for the purposes of whatever. When a purchase of make up or a brutal and degrading practice of hair removal becomes more important on the measure of your values than The Constitutional right of Free Speech or Habeas Corpus, everyone is in trouble. There is no mental or any other growth in a system that prohibits free thinking by imposing premade ideas via the technique of spreading the beliefs, labelling them and then associating them in your mind for you. It is your job to know why a and b are bad or good. It is also incumbent upon you to recognize the individuality and not hate your fellow human being so much that you would want or think the worst of him or her.
Take me, for example. Yes, I am "white." A most idiotic term because my skin is a yellowish peach hue. I am from Azerbaijan, Russian-Jewish decent. What does any of the racist crap has to do with me? But a day does not go by that I don't receive looks from people. Black men and women, and even children. I am sensitive. I am an artist. And I like my head shaved. Why is it that I have to go around explaining either openly or subtly that my head is shaved not because I belong to Nazi youth, but because I like it? Must I open my chest and rip out my heart to tell you why? Why? Who are you? What do I owe you? You owe me, for unjustly discriminating against people that not only recognized you, intermarried with you, but have NOTHING to do with you. I am upset.
Also, among womben there is a variety. Why am I supposed to be clean shaven and squeezed through size 3 to be a "woman?" Because people who are used to free labor, sex and servile approach, would like for this to continue. Did you know that the schools might be implementing SEPARATE BUT EQUAL DOCTRINE ON EDUCATION? No, you chicks are too busy being out shopping or sucking dick. I do both, but I find time for them when all else is done. Shopping and sucking can't be a human life.
OR are you a "chick?" A baby bird of domestic decent waiting to be barely grown up to lay eggs or be prepared for consumption? Women act like a snail and crawl into their mental houses when men attcke, or hide their heads like that Australian bird, into the sand. They fight for nothing, stand for nothing, and protest nothing. Stupid, spoiled by stupidity, worst drug-addicts of illusion and self deceit, they are objects to be moved around and manipulated. And if you want to call me sexist, sure, but I have a right to not only what I think, but also have a right that humanity have won over centuries of its development to be listened to, understood and properly, reasonably argued with. And I have a right to agree or disagre. Fuck you and your mental manipulation, shit.
And don't forget to buy another Loui Vattan bag or something. And your lipstick is not red enough. And it's ok to have a guy tell you what to do and think for you - you did grow up with "Married with Children," "90210" and "Sesame Street."
