HW 34

Despite all of the certain items one might own physical traits are what can really matter in determining someones path and how their viewed as cool. They say that people make a judgement about someone right after seeing them. Obviously that's true. So looking at someones hair before they can get out one syllable is a pretty good way of judgeing someone. If you work on wall street and you walk into an interview with long hair that goes down to your back, then well lets face it, your fucked. On the other hand if your a ski bum and your looking for a job at a head shop and you walk in with a neatly cut short hair dou with a perfect hair line then, your fucked there too. Something that gets even more judgement is race. A lot of white liberals try to be cool and say that they don't judge somebody based on their race or religion or whatever. But their more full of shit then anybody. Generally what they end up doing is the opposite. They try to raise them selves up by measuring people on a different playing field. So therefore someone ends up at a disadvantage.
In my oppinion racism dates back to a tribal period. People have a natural instict to be around people that are similar to them. For example in our school which almost knowbody would consider racist, is almost fully segregated when it comes to seating in class, lunch and the people that hang out after school. I dont believe that people conciously want things to work out that way but in turn they do. Its also fucked up that when anybody mentions how thats the case their just told to shut or accused of being racist in their own right. Its nothing more then an over politically correct bullshit world to protect everybodies feelings. And how does this relate to cool? These facts and surroundings drive into our subcouncious and gives us grim realities about our own future which therefore shapes our cool path. Your young and black live in a bad neighborhood and see a white person of equal age and inteligence get flooded with recourses. It must be frustrating beyond words; so then what happens, the rebellious attitude sinks in it most likely di in previous generations and the cycle continues.
In counclusion it is unfortunate how are physical attributes can make or break us, but it seems just a fact of life. There may come a point in time when either the string is broken or it just reversus but that seems to be something of the distant future. So for those of us just left in the shit, the only remedy is to work with what we have and try to prove those who stand in the way wrong.
