Facebook.

I troll Facebook. It’s like sitting in your car on the South Side outside of a liquor store at midnight. You never know what you’re going to see… but all of it is pretty terrifically lame. Facebook has become so pedestrian and boring and depressing. I mean it always was, but it had its moments. Now it’s just spiraling the drain.

The thing that impresses me the most, beyond the constant ads, beyond the “So and So likes Product X” or “What’s her Face likes Walgreens” it’s the fantastic amount of racism.

Not outward “I hate Black People” but the really more sinister and honestly, more scary passive aggressive or poorly hidden racism. The kind of racism that says things like, “There’s two kinds of negroids in the world…” and things that end with, “just sayin’”

Yeah, you’re “just sayin’” something racist.

I can talk all day about how there’s going to be a deepening of the divide, that one half of the country is going to flip its shit one day and try and kill the other half, that 50% of the country is diametrically opposed to the other 50% and the only way for it to be resolved is a battle to the death. But if you spend a quarter of an hour scrolling Facebook you’ll start to wonder if maybe investing in a semi-automatic rifles and stockpiling fuel and food for the impending civil war or racial uprising isn’t so crazy after all.
