I'm
looking into funding, as all startups usually need funds if they want
to grow fast. So I've been around a few sites and I came across this
one site, and I just thought they were perfect. Everything they said
sounded like an exact match for me and my two startups.
Well,
they have a problem.
Of course they dressed it up in disguise,
but I saw it right away. All I could think was, are these super
intelligent people falling victim to the human condition of
ignorance? I had a tiny bit of hope they were not, so I hit enter to
find out. Yep, the results were. “You did not get excepted into our
program, if we open it up in the future we will contact you” LMAO,
super smart people being ignorant? Yes, they can fall victim to it,
and they did.
You
see they only asked me 4 questions.
- Did I go to college?
- Am I planning on going to college?
- Will I be enrolled in college soon?
- None of these apply.
How
could you know who I am or what my startups are with those 4
questions? Now your site did not say, we only want college
educated people. No it did not say we only want young people in
college. Or we only want people planning to go to college. No, you
knew that would be inappropriate so you hid your ignorance, just like
the doctor from India.
Let me
tell you about this doctor. I worked in a hospital, and my job at the
time was a nurse assistant. Which is a wonderful job that I
absolutely loved. I love taking care of people. No matter who they
are. So it was in my first few months at this hospital, and I
noticed this cute really short woman from India. She most likely
immigrated to our great country, because she still had a very strong
Indian accent.
I
would see her talking to her patients and she was absolutely lovely,
and wonderful and charming and I could tell her patients really loved
her. So one day I came around the corner and entered the doctor
dictation area. I was two feet in front of her face and I smiled and
said hello, how are you?
This
is what happened: She gave me the look of “how dare you talk to
me” The look of “You are below me” The look of “You are scum
of the earth and the scum of the earth have no rights to talk to me”
She refused to say one word to me. Yep, she made sure that in the 4
seconds that she looked at me that I understood, I should never speak
to her, because I am a person way below her, and basically I do not
exist. I was astounded. How could this kind person I've seen be so
pleasantly polite to her patients, treat me as if I do not qualify to
talk to her? How could she treat me like I have no rights to be alive
in the country I was born in?
A few
weeks later, I was on the elevator, and some visitors to the hospital
were on it with me. The door opened up and low and behold there stood
the cute little Indian doctor, she had to get on the elevator with
us, and you know what I did? I put on a great big smile and said
Hello. Well, she was in a dilemma, she hated me because I was way
below her, and I was not to talk to her, but if she did what she did
to me before in the public view she knew she would be judged. So she
had to succumb, and grumble a hello to me.
Oh
Yeah! It was so sweet. Her ignorance exposed. You see, what is she
going to do, the day her car rolls and I'm the one who pulls her out
of the wreckage, and ties a tourniquet around her bleeding, dangling
body part? Then I go back to the car and get her grandson out before
the car explodes into a fire? She will probably scream "I'd rather die, then have you touch me" I mean after all I have cooties.
What
is she going to do when a human being she believes to be lower then
her, helps her, in her time of need? What if that person is me, the
one she so rudely disrespected, because of her ignorance? She
believes that not all humans are the same. Not all people deserve respect and dignity.
Yep,
America has it's scar, Racism, and the way we enslaved Africans and
treated them like they were so different from us. India has outlawed,
the Caste System, yet it still is ingrained on the people. We have
outlawed slavery, but we still have had to, and have struggled with
racism.
What
the hell is wrong with people? Why do we walk right into ignorance
and pretend were so smart? “Oh were not judging humans, were being
business like” Yeah Right. By not letting me into your little
funding group because I refused to answer the college questions, you
just did an Indian Caste system/ American racism ignorance behavior.
You
see I have been to college, but college never worked out for me. They
mostly wanted my money and they had no idea how to shape my gifts.
And I have gifts! And really, come on, Bill Gates, Mark Zurkerberg,
okay I'm not smart like them. Yet, there are so many people that are
successful and they did not complete college. Why would you focus on
this? Every idea is an opportunity. Not just the ones from
people who go to college, or graduated from college, or intend to go
to college. Are you crazy? How can very intelligent people be so
ignorant? Well, that doctor was super smart, but she had her
countries history ingrained into her being. Maybe your funding group
has something ingrained in you?
I
would never be interested in your group in the future, because you
lack the human condition: passion for all beings. Oh you can judge on
skin color, birth placement, education, age, male or female, all you
want. The truth is: the ignorance you displayed has only accomplished
one thing ~ not looking at the idea.
