The Real Reason We Can't All Get Along

I'm sure by now you've heard. The most devastating thing to happen to our country in the last 20 years. Some old white guy said something stupid. He was trying to be hip and cool and in his efforts he failed. Like most old white guys trying to speak like those damn kids do today, he made himself look like a douche. A fucking douche.

Here is what should have happened: Everyone (not just the black community) hears this douche and says this "damn look at that damn white guy being a douche." End of story.

Here is what did happen: The black community flipped their gourd. They freaked the fuck out. Something that should have just been no biggie turned into this whole god damned fiasco.

Am I saying what he said was a good thing? Fuck no! I'm just saying if we are ever going to get through racism, we have got to stop making a spectacle out of every misstep that stupid old white men make.

If the black community had anything to say about it at all it should have been this: "Well, there goes another stupid old white douche." And they should have used those words. Because white people should not get offended if someone calls them a douche. Mostly we are.

Maybe it's because I'm white. Maybe it's because I'm a white male. I like to think it's because I'm a smart, level headed, white male douche and I can see that we have bigger fish to fry right now in this world than the stupid shit people say. Maybe some day we will live in a world where people don't say stupid shit. For now, we do.

Fucking deal with it and shut the fuck up.

Then, afterwards, we can have a nice good long hug. All of us.
