Woke From a Dream
I had a dream last night that I was in some kind of Woke training at work. I was getting so mad and arguing with the contractor who was doing the training. They were pushing Critical Race Theory and blaming White people for everything. I thought I was going to get fired.
I talked about the Toronto Police Service turning me away in 2009 because I wasn't a minority. I talked about being refused service in Quebec in the 80s being an Anglophone. I talked about the running standard in 1998 for the mile and a half for men vs. women. I said that I wouldn't have White Privilage in China, and that it's not attributed to race or skin colour, this privilege. And, Caucasians are in the minority; there are less than 2 billion of us in the world, I said. Where was my privilege when I needed it. I even payed my own way through college. I told the room that the gold standard was judging an individual by the content of their character rather than by the colour of their skin! I was so angry. I accused the contractor instructor of being raciest, attributing characteristics to me based on skin colour. I said that it was a violation of the Ontario Human Rights code to force me to sit through the training; I was experiencing discrimination based on colour. As a matter of fact, I went on to say that, I was being harassed; the contractor was using vexatious comments and aught to have known that they would be unwelcome. I awakened from my dream before I was fired. So angry, I couldn't get back to sleep.
It's coming, this Woke BS. I've already sat through a training in the past year where they've broached the Woke ideology, introducing inherent bias (unconscious bias?) as a proven theory, the Canadian Mental Health Association I think.

R.I.D.E.
Am I now heartless?
I can't help but wondering if we're doing more harm than good for the poor.

Sad Haunting Song
I wonder why this song is such an ear worm for me. It's haunting. I don't even like Country & Western as a genera. If I want to armchair shrink myself, it's a live lived. A hard life, a strong man who accomplished little. As I continue to roll with the punches in a battle with the NDD, I see maybe a reflection of myself? Maybe? It's a sad haunting tale of a time gone by, a lifestyle that no longer exists. A story is told in this song. A sad story is told that I can understand and am strangely captivated by.
