Once again I have been M.I.A and I apologize. The only reason I can offer up is that the past two weeks have been CRAY CRAY! I mean totally nuts...I will spare you the details but ya..just psycho. Also, we are STILL looking for a house so we can move..my husband is now commuting 75 miles one way each day. Ugh..
So my random rant is on stereotypes. Basically this: No matter what race you are, how much money you have or where you are from; DO NOT make assumptions about people who aren't the "same" as you.
What happened that made me so.."Oh no you di'ent" that I needed to fly my rebel flag and blog about it? Well I'll tell you.. I just finished watching a video from one of my (not any more) favorite YouTube gurus, and in this video, the person made the assumption that people from the country wouldn't know the difference between a stripper and a Go-Go dancer.
*Triple take* Uh, 'scuse me??? WTF? Really???
I am from the country..yes, cows, tractors, hay bales the whole 40 acres and I know the difference. So do all of my redneck, hillbilly, countrified friends. In actuality, country gals would know MORE about the difference between a stripper and a go-go dancer because we wouldn't be caught dead in a cage dancin'. If it ain't got a pole, sawdust on the floor or a Wranglers on, we ain't dancin' in it, on it or with it!!
Now, as I was (now) formerly a subscriber to this person, I always felt they were a bit..well, for lack of a better phrase; deprived of oxygen at birth. But I didn't want to make the assumption that they were a ditz, maybe they were just a little nervous in front of the camera.
Nope, I was right..that's a country girl's intuition fer yuh!
Seriously people, this totally pissed me off!! The video was supposed to be about fitness and confidence and out this person's mouth came this crap. I actually flipped my computer monitor the bird.
So yeah. All I'm saying is just don't say things about people that are "different" from you. You may be quick to point out that people don't know you or your life..well that's a two lane road right there.
I know this has nothing to do with beauty reviews and I apologize, but I just had to get up on my tailgate speak my piece.
Y'all come back now yuh herrr!
