The Pretext of Discrimination
Through a selective reality you perceive. The world in hues of colour, Not shades of grey, But you make it black and white. Foist not your beliefs on others, Nor dictate morality by your dictionary. Irony, plain irony; You contradict with your actions. Allow the varied colours to soar, Unrestricted by repression, Free from shades of grey, Live, and let live… Logen L. Many people are giving the pretext of religion to repress the rights of gay people. There are others fearing for their insecure manhood because of gay people.Sponsor ZUJI SG - MLOB Cannonball 300x250 Find Me The Best Priced...
Labels Are For Soup Cans, Not People
I am utterly perplexed by how people love to judge and label others, based on the little they know. While it is part and parcel of life to make surmises, why do so many take these stereotypes to be absolute, and unchangable. Let me state my view. Evil is spawned from ignorance. Ignorance in the case of stereotyping people, is the laziness to use one’s brain and effort to know another person for what he/she is worth. And this kind of laziness, reflects very badly on a person’s intelligence. Can you attest that misunderstandings between two parties occur despite full understanding of each other’s aims? Of course not! I’m tired of hearing racial stereotypes against Bangladeshi workers and the Malay community. I’m sick of homophobic slurs...
Help Needed with Justice Tribunal
I have not completed Justice Tribunal (an anti-discrimination community site) to the extent desired. There are some texts that I need to work at code level to configure. Nevertheless, the functionality is already there. I need people to test the site out and feedback for improvement. I will also need volunteers to moderate the site. So, if anyone out there is interested in helping. Inform me. You can comment to this entry. Or if you prefer a private means of communication, email me: logishblog [at] gmail [dot] com. Put the subject as: Justice Tribunal Affiliate. Logen L.
Stupid Bangla Is Racist
More and more people are using the word ‘Bangla’ in a derogatory and racist sense. And it disgusts me. The word ‘Bangla’ refers to a language native to Bangladesh and West Bengal. It is accepted also as a term to refer to the people of Bangladesh. However, in Singapore where we import labour, ‘Bangla’ characterises construction workers who may or may not even come from Bangladesh. It has a hidden meaning behind it, which people are ignorant of. Through the countless racist jokes and stereotypes, the workers in question, have been associated with the qualities of being dim-witted, perverted, smelly, illegal and inferior. I must add that there are some workers who fit this stereotype, but to use a word that associates those...
Justice Tribunal Anti-Discrimination Community
Blood is red, end discrimination The above is the slogan for the Justice Tribunal. The Justice Tribunal is a site I’m working on that is aimed at fighting discrimination (racial, religious, sexual orientation, gender, etc.). I have changed the concept slightly but it’s cause remains. Instead of a strict community site with hardcore debates and discussions, I turned it into an advocacy tool for fighting discrimination. You will be able to upload related videos, audio and pictures. Furthermore, blogs and forums can be created. I have given it thought for a long time. There are many groups out there fighting for the anti-discrimination cause. Starting another one that replicates the purpose of those groups, isn’t going to fulfill the core of this...
Racist Propaganda
If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed. -Adolf Hitler Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it. -Adolf Hitler Hitler may be a bastard but having read many of his quotes, they make sense. This entry is one that touches on a brief aspect of racist propaganda. It is racist to act on a predisposition about a person based on his/her race. But! isn’t it worse when you spread the stereotype around. This isn’t just innocent gossip. It is propaganda! The truth is merely a person’s perception of reality. Therein lies the power of propaganda because propaganda seeks to exploit this, a person’s view of reality. Remember the last time when a baseless rumour was...
