Scumbase

Hey there all.

Today, I present to you a special edition of World Class Scum. I will not be talking about Japan. There will not be any youtube video embed. No, today, I want to talk to you about YOU, and what you represent as a person, and how that affects the world (World Class Scum afterall).

Let me start by informing you that I was mugged tonight, about 3 hours before I wrote this message. I am physically and mentally fine, but emotionally extremely hurt. My wallet is doing great (forgot it in the car, lucky I guess, and didn't have the keys, the driver did, so lucky x2), but they took my phone (I know you'll ask, so here : it was a Samsung Galaxy S2.... yes... nice phone, I know).

Now I don't want to go into the details of what I'm going to do about it. I'm taking care of the whole thing. I want to get back to something I said earlier : emotionally extremely hurt.

I've been traveling in the world for years now. I've been living in Japan for 4 years. I spent the past 4 years telling Japanese people that Canada was a safe, friendly country. People are nice and helpful, I used to say.

Then I come back to my home country, in my own hometown, and I get mugged ? SERIOUSLY ?!? There were people around. It was seen. No one helped (against 3 big black ghetto bling-bling motherfuckers, I can't really blame them), and it was inside a public building ! In a McDonald's to be exact (which happens to have video cameras I just learned, interesting).

But the point is guys, whatever you do, and whatever you say, your actions will come from you, but affect your family, your friends, your company and, more than not, the country you come from and your ethnicity !

People are pointing fingers at racists (I do too, don't misunderstand), but has anyone stopped for two minutes and think about why racism still exists ? We all know that whatever your color, you can be smart and successful, that's not an issue anymore. No, what we hear now is : "Black people they steal cars and stuff", "Asian people are bad in bed", "White people think they're so superior to everyone else". Well, if all you see from an ethnicity is what I saw blacks guys do to me tonight, you're going to start thinking that way, too !

You represent your country in a way that rivalize the army. What you do and what you say have repercussions beyond what you can imagine. People talk about you when they go home for supper, they talk about you when they go back to their home country, they remember you and your actions when you randomly crossed paths and you didn't even notice.

I get tears in my eyes when I think I was so proud to be Canadian. Now I want to dig a hole and hide in it.

I am ASHAMED !!
