The Felix Flytrap

Categorized under Humor | Tags:

I MUST SAY...it is funny...and actually, still a bit unexpected, when someone gets furious that I claim to be "SMARTER THAN TEN ARYANS!," and takes it personally.

To tell you the truth, I never thought when I made that grafik, over a year ago, that anyone would identify with being "Aryan." (Though I knew they would never get my private wordplay on a rejected legally-adopted and white surname). At least not enough to stop and take the whole caricature to heart.

I'm far from Gandhi, so I have to admit that it's still a bit pleasing to ferret out such people and watch them twist. Although the grime on the hands once you're done taking out the trash is a bit nasty. Sort of like hanging flypaper for the undercover racist. Or the confidence-challenged. Los dos, quizas.

Eek, I just wince. I am glad I am not in a position to laugh in anyone's face, because I have it in my head that someone who would get mad about *that* maybe has a screw loose, on top of the craziness of racism's nature itself. And, well, I don't want to be mean to someone who's screw is loose. I just...it is...how can they not know that...oof.

Plus, I try to block out them spoiling the pure joy it gives me every time I re-notice it. And the two cents thing, also. Sigh. I heart Nez.

Not to mention the fool tried to say that you're not too smart, and in the process, misspelled both "intellect" and "shameful." I think you're smarter than at least twenty of that particular Aryan. Jeje.

there's always one or two guys that have to come prove they can't spell and they usually have one idea that they think makes their repulsive underbelly rational, and they think they are the first to think of it.

sigh.

I can't wait until you get the comment extolling Lou Dobbs'
~*~^inherent beautee^~*~ as a human being on this earth and hear angry vents on how very vain you are. That's a battle to bring the popcorn for.

I think you've bested more than ten Aryans by now.

oh and i was hit up for that line, too. (sometimes these people claw with all they have). the guy (i think he said he came over from belledame's?) wanted me to feel bad for i think it was being homophobic? for saying that by saying i was "PRETTIER THAN LOU DOBBS" that i was...who the hell knows. how can a mind keep track of such craziness. i was like "hunh, really?" i mean...the twisting people will do to try and get a foothold on you. it's impressive, a little scary, and comical if i didnt deal with the same damn approaches over and over and over from men who think they are super original and finally have a point that will silence forever the loud virtual mexican. i think it was on the teargas parade post that he was buzzing around in my pie. but who cares, really. i mean...if you think about it, people arguing me on that tagline is outright hilarious in and of itself.

oh the fear-filled folk. it's so strange how fear just gets up in some folks' minds and completely shuts down any potential for critical thinking.

i want to both smack them hard and hug them. (a nez-gandhi hybrid response)

Trin i might have it wrong. Maybe that part came later in the "conversation." Most things that aren't worth much slide out of my mind pretty fast. It was just another white male (not all white males react that way, of course, but truth is, all who have reacted that way have been white males so far, and i'm guessing that's how it will continue) who felt they just HAD to divest me of my cybernetic mexicano confrontational pride (and actually, my self-mocking tone, which is what really makes the argument ludicrous...i mean... "prettier than lou dobbs"?? come on. I just don't see how people dont laugh at that and move on.)

--

K.VILLA, you said it. although i usually don't feel like hugging them. but i mean, that's clearly me. when i was young i even resisted hugging my family at holidays. but hey. at least i didn't smack them, right? that's the st. nick part, i guess.

that's totally full of wtf.

Um. Nez. I just tried to leave a comment on this post and it jumped over and went to your post about racism. Quantum leaps freak me out. It kind of fits over there, but it might totally not have and I don't know if my computer did that (could it have?) or what. Anyway, just wanted you to know.

The comment I was trying to leave here said: Ten or a hundred, Nez, that brain of yours regularly impresses the hell outa me. And definitely, you're worth a thousand of anyone that doesn't get it.
