Mood:  incredulous

Racist pricks annoy me to no end.

We (my husband and I) get almost daily forwards of terribly Republican (now not sensible, well throughout GOP related material but super right wing fear and hate mongering), Religious, or Racist emails from some asshole that my husband used to work with at TECT. This idiot believes just about every Urban Myth debunked by Snopes.com and is one of those stupid sheep-people that forwards emails that are so co amazingly culturally insensitive I have had it! Now, he sends these to my husband’s old email address that we share for joint correspondence with family members so they don’t have to send it to multiple emails. As this was once Matt’s personal email, he still gets emails from “his” past associates.

Well, this redneck, aircraft working, brain-dead fuck up, Keith, keeps sending awful forwards full of hate on just about everyone – Muslims seem to be his choice today. I have deleted his emails time and again, and have chosen to not read them. Yet, sometimes, when I am reading emails on the account and hit the next button, it brings up one of his emails.

 Yesterday, he ‘graced’ us with two emails which I promptly deleted after they nearly burned my retinas with their hate filled rhetoric. The first was on the stimulus package and taxes, the second was on some supposed meeting of various religious leaders at a prison that was held to try and convert prisoners from a life of crime to a more productive and religious way of life. Well, it totally slammed Islam. It made it seem like all Muslims are jihadist. It took things from the Koran and blew them WAY proportion and taking them out of context. It made the assumption that ALL Muslims were believers in the extreme stuff spouted by Bin Laden. It was a giant Muslim bashing email and I exploded! Why must I be subjected to his hate mongering? The email lambasted not just Muslims but Arabs stating that all of them were terrorists and that all terrorists were Arabs. Excuse me? What the fuck was Timothy McVeigh? Or Ted Kaczynski? Or suspect U.S. scientist Bruce E. Ivins? Are those men not Caucasian American citizens that performed acts of terrorism against other American citizens? Bruce Ivins even tried to frame Arabs in his anthrax scare mailings!

*sigh* This email was so filled with stereotypes and generalizations of all kinds I felt sick to my stomach. I deleted it and wished there was some process for not merely deleting it, but exploding it. You know, like some button I could push on my keyboard that would cause this filth ridden piece of shit to be blown into a million pieces and for a hand to reach out of Keith’s screen and rip his testicles off. Yes, that’s how mad I was, and this blog is helping me to get rid of my rage.

Now, I have told Matt that I do want to have anything to do with this person, and that he is never to be invited to our home. I understand that Matt has not blocked him from our email account because Keith still worked for TECT. Matt asked him to stop sending us this crap. Now, Keith has retired from TECT, and well, today I took the step myself. I BLOCKED HIM. I will never have to hear another narrow-minded, sexist, racist, misogynistic email from this lame excuse of a human being again!
