Maybe I imagine it but it’s real to me and it grinds me down every time i come across another example of it.
Any given day as I catch up on so called news from various sites, the BBC, newspaper sites etc, there’s going to be an story that’s on the majority of sites that opens with one of the multiple options below.
1. A woman of colour.
2. Person of African descent.
3. Woman.
4. Transgender.
5. Gay something or other.
6. Muslim
You get the picture, one of the chosen has managed to do something other people do all the time but because a member of one of these groups has achieved something it’s heralded like an actual miracle has occurred.
Hold on, are we not all equal, are we not mean to be blind to race and gender these days? Why are we meant to applaud like trained seals when a black woman hosts the presidential debate for instance. The inference is that members of the chosen rarely achieve fuck all. If I wrote an article lauding Lenny Henry because he made it all the way across London without stealing a moped and mugging someone for their mobile phone I’d be slaughtered by the same media that thinks it’s not insulting to applaud one of the chosen for putting one foot in front of the other.
If we are all so fucking equal why do we have to react like Stephen Hawking got out of his wheelchair and beat Usain Bolt to the virgin remote over 100 metres when one of them does achieve something.
I’m still not sure what or who the target of this cunting is but I’m an irritated minority of one.
Glad I got that off my chest…..
