BLEACH

Bleach
So what's my deal with the white folks, I keep mentioning them like they are some savages, who can't dance, can't dress, can't cook, but can defintely be complete trash and put a suit on and EVERYONE thinks they got money! SO basically it is about the white privilege. Sure it is not my fault I am not white (not that I would want to be one), but hell yea I would like walk into a Tiffany's or Saks 5th Ave and not be followed. Come on Neiman Marcus please...I do not need them queeny white bottoms chasing me around asking me if I need help. If I needed it I would ask. Now there are all kinds of whites, just like there are any other I guess, except only WHITES can be racist, yes that is correct, only WHITES can be racist. WHITES have the power and that allows them to be racist, people of color do not have power, however we can be (and probably well deservingly) prejudice. Perfect example, Christopher Columbus. In schools we are taught to glorify this guy who came from Europe and started killing the beautiful people he called Indians there was no PC term back then. In fact he brought an army of white European "settlers" to the "Americas" (thanks a lot Vespucci), and similar to Bush he civilized and capitalized and brought STDs. That is just one, but you get the picture. You are never really taught an alternative story unless you are financial (or very few times aware of scholarships) privilege. White middle class women always complain about the inequities in salaries, BLAH BLAH BLAH, YAWN. How about the women of color that don't make that money either. A lot of women are conformed though because that is the way things are, the white man is always on top, unless he is gay in which case he is a big old bottom with a small one. While I am on the subject I guess I should touch on the white gays too. Oh all so cute. We got the twinks, the tinas, the muscleheads, the 35+ year old "bois", the married ones, the heterosexually married ones, the bears, the punks, the pigs, the leather daddies, the sugar daddies (my favorite), and the "I am wearing my only brand shirt, and jeans at Club Cafe" (for the Boston folks). I am sure I am missing a few, but they are all the same in the long run. Bottoms, think that brown skin is exotic, think the Asians are submissive, and the blacks have huge...some do. We (people of color) are automatically labeled as we walk into a meeting, a club, a bar, a store, the airport, and now even the subway. When I get tanned I look or can look Middle Eastern (what that means I do not know). So after September 11th, of course I am checked at all airport profiling points. I can only imagine what is happening to people who look this way on a daily basis. Of course not so much the lighter ones because they probably were in this with Bush from the get-go with the oil wells. Back to the gays, the twinks are small sometimes anorexic white boys some in college who have no worries. Some call themselves jocks, bois, masculine you name it, but sexuality is like nothing. I mean most do come off as that bitchy queen but some actually are muscleboys but that does not automatically make you masculine by any means, especially if you are taking your shirt off next to me while dancing on the cube. So yea these boys some are part time escorts because mommy and daddy wont give them drug money, that nice bag all the twinks have, or that nice pair of jeans that for some odd reason costs U$215.00. I have no problem with escorting, but it should not be taken as a joke, I mean there are people out there that desperately NEED the money to eat or pay rent. Simple survival. Not only this about the twinks but they make other twinks of lower economic status as though they need to be up to par with them with the money privilege and all that they might feel out of place. Because white college kid= white kid with money especially when you are in a very white city where low income housing people are surviving on 10 grand a year maybe?
