From TheOppressed
Me: Hi, this is my_name. And I'm oppressed. By everyone, like everyone.
Something that oppresses me is that You Are Racist.
Intro with Music
Me: I'm oppressed by you because you are racist even if you say you're not.
Stupid Character: Me? But I'm not racist. I love everyone in the world~~
Me: Uh uh, is that true? Then look at this:
SC turning head
Picture of poo
SC hiding his eyes, disgusted: Oh what's wrong with you? Why are you showing me this ugly thing?
Me: Because you are racist! If you look at an image of poop and think it is disgusting, then it proves you associate images with a feeling. Why are you scared of poop? It's the same as a flower, but you associate it with a negative image, and don't even try to find beauty in it.
SC: What are you talking about? Poop stinks, it's all brown and mushi, it's the most disgusting thing ever!
Me: Have you ever tried to smell poop and appreciate its odor? There is no rule that says poo is disgusting, it is just a common interpretation that your mom and friends share, but you don't have to believe it.
SC: Wait, it is a fact that nobodies like poop. So it is true.
Me: Some do like poop, they are called poopophile... feceophile... crapophile... shitophile... doodyphile... anyway, these people exist, and since they do, we have to come to the conclusion that poop is neither a good thing nor a bad one.
SC: Ok, but we are talking about racism here, not disgusting things.
Me: Well, if you react that way to a picture of poop, then the same process will occur for anything else. For example...
Picture of something super racist... someone super-known? like Obama?
SC: Oh, it's just Obama, I thought it was gonna be disgusting...
Me: And who is he?
SC: You don't know? lol, he's the first black president of the US, you know?
Me: And that makes you racist!
SC: What the?
Me: The first thing that came in your mind looking at him was his race, and so you associate black people with the black race. So you are racist.
SC: WHAT?? But I'm not racist, I don't hate black people!
Me: No no, it's not about if you like a race or not, racism is about identifying a physical trait and classifying it in a race. Obama's black skin made your brain put him into the "black people" category of races.
SC: Uh, and so saying Obama is of a black race makes me racist?
Me: Yes, because you think of him by his physical appearance instead of his person.
SC: Well he is black, how can I not see his skin color?
Me: Well, you can start by considering how the media describe him in a racist way, then making a mental effort to suppress this racist image of him that even your friends share. Tell yourself that he isn't black or american, but he is a human being of the planet earth. And think the same way of everyone.
SC: so... a "human being of the planet earth"? but then everyone would be described the same way!?
Me: Exactly. We wouldn't need to describe people from their races, and so we wouldn't need to think of them as part of a race.
SC: And then racism is gone?
Me: Well, it will take a long time before everyone think that way, so until then... you are racist!
end... lol
Notes: The poop example would go more into something else about open-mindedness, so maybe I could find another example? But it's a bit hard...
The second half is a bit boring, need to insert many more jokes
Is this too long? I feel like Me is only talking in a monologue, I might have to find ways to have both exchange more
