I gotta get this one out!

I'm not racist but I am prejudiced. Let me clarify that I am prejudiced against situations and people such as men or women, not against race or age.

For instance; any man, any age, any race, leaving a mall the same time I do, leaving through the same doors, without a package, makes me prejudice to think that perhaps he plans on robbing me because I'm a woman, alone. Any woman, any race, any age, if she doesn't smile back at me when I smile at her, my prejudice leads me to believe that she thinks she is too good to smile back or she is shy or she has much on her mind.

Any woman or man, any age, any color can sing a song and if it touches me in some way, I like it. The song Don't Think I Don't Think About It comes to mind. The first time I heard it, I heard a strong but soft, sincere, touching voice that made me believe that the person singing knew what it was like to feel the words he was singing. I loved the song immediately. Later, I found out it was a singer by the name of Darius Rucker, an African-American, or black guy (as a caucasian is to a white guy "to me") and decided that I'd like to hear more of his music. I didn't know he was Hootie and frankly, I didn't care. To this day, I love every single song he's sang and will continue to listen to him. The same goes with the song Underneath Your Clothes by Shakira. I didn't know anything about her, but I knew I liked the meaning of the song and her voice commanding that listeners understand that it means something to her.

Do I have prejudices against recent cheating men like Tiger Woods and David Letterman? Well, I think they made bad decisions and I feel sorry for them and their families now. That doesn't make me prejudice to believe that all men in showbusiness are cheaters, it makes me prejudice to think that men must be more easily distracted than women, whether famous or not.

I also think that it's their business and not mine.

I believe that the media should focus on information that needs to get out to people, like missing children, weather emergencies, help for those that need it, and lookouts for dangerous people. I don't think that people's personal lives, that will never have a direct effect on our lives (such as cheating men) should be our business. Bill Clinton is a little different because he was our president and his impeachment could have changed our country, our lives. How is Tiger Woods or David Letterman ever going to affect me? Trust me, they won't.

Someone posted something on Facebook about how Taylor Swift should send Kanye West a Christmas present to thank him for giving her attention and helping her career. Well, to the person that was so shallow minded to write something such as that, hear me out! ------ The reason Taylor Swift was on that stage had nothing to do with Kanye. It had to do with the fact that she worked her ass off and won the award over your precious "black" Beyonce (whom I adore and listen to her music daily). Kanye went on TV the next night, on Jay Leno, cried saying how he was sorry and how he knew that his mama would be so disappointed in him. He knew he acted stupid, he was a fool, he admitted it, he apologizd, and everything was said and done. Now it seems that someone was affected so much by this that they had to pull the race card. Honey, race had nothing to do with this. If Tim McGraw jumped up and said that to her, it would have made no difference in the fact that Taylor Swift is just getting started, darlin! She's only 19 years old, has broken records, has her own money, makes her own rules, writes and sings her own music, and has been doing so since she was 15. Get over it. Taylor Swift did. She hasn't made one more mention of it, do you know why? Because that's in the past! Why is she moving forward, becuase that's what she's focused on. Not the past. Let it go. Kanye acted a fool. Kanye apologizd, Taylor accepted the apology, then they went their seperate ways. Why is it any of your business what they are doing now? Life has gone on since then. Where have you been??? I hope Taylor and Kanye make a song together just so your stupid, sorry, racist ass can shut the hell up. I'm ashamed of your behavior as if I were your mother. How dare my kids ever try to pull a racist card out during a situation like that. Rediculous.

How would your mama feel? My mama would be proud of me. My mama would tell me that I am honest, I'm open to tell how I feel, even if it isn't what you want to hear. She'd be proud of me for standing up for situations that people have escalated due to the one sided media coverage. Who cares what the media says. They just want someone to watch it, you don't have to believe it, hell, you SHOULDN'T believe it.

I haven't hear one white freind or family member mention that Kanye was a black man defending a black woman against a white woman. I heard all the "black" and "white" come up in a conversation from the "black" man who started it. I saw the situation as a lady on stage to accept and award, a man jumps on stage to intruppt and say taht someone else's video was the best , and the other woman was highly embarassed siting in the front row. Color them any color you want. Make it 2 black women, 1 black wins the award, one blac doesn't, and a white man steps up to say it's wrong because the one that didn't win had a better video. How will that one end up? Do you think that white man's foolishness is going to give the winner a career boost? I personally would bet on the award being to credit for her continued sucess.

Oh yeah, and GOOGLING someones name because you don't know them doesn't make them more successful.So she may be recognizable by people who don't listen to her type of music for whatevr reason. BUT IT'S TAYLOR SWIFTS PRIORITIES IN LIFE AND HER DEDICATION TO MUSIC AND ENTERTAINING THAT KEEP HER MOVING FORWARD. Kanye is stuck in the past because of that situation, so how in the hell is he to credit for her moving on? He's not. He doesn't have what it takes to make TAylor Swift any more popular than she already is.

The only way he could bolster her career is if he pointed out her to a crowd of non Swift listeners, they googled her, then they went out and bought her music and became fans of hers. More than likely, after her winning the award, more records were purchased anyway, not because of Kanye. They bought it because of Taylor Swifts songs and voice.

I'm so over this whole race thing. I have my prejudices and I always will, but as I said before, it's for all ages, colors, size and genders of people. It's the situations that bring out my prejudist. I wish others would just SHUT THE FUCK UP AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE when it comes to race. How can you stand to have more hate in your heart than love for simple mankind.

My mama raised me right. My daddy gave me my attitude. Just watch out for me. When my feet hit the floor at 6am, Satan shudders and says, "Oh shit, Sheila's awake!"
