Me vs. Nationalism.

Ugh. Yesterday, as I was walking in Zottegem (the pathetic failure of a city aka the nearest 'city' where I live, I noticed this sticker on a pole. It said "against racism towards whites". Mkay. I hate racism, it disgusts me. Whether it's white people being racists towards 'coloured' people or 'coloured' people towards white people, it's wrong. It's awful. Being white myself, I also hate when a 'coloured' person just assumes I am a racist and I hate him/her because of his/her skintone, religion, whatever. This, people, is just as much racism as when I would actually tell that person to get out of the country. As soon as one person discriminates/insults an other person because of skintone or religion, we're talking about racism. I am against racism. All kinds of racism. Let that be clear.

So, basically, although I know Zottegem well enough to know how they meant that sticker, I had nothing against it. But, exactly underneath it, there was a sticker of 'Flemish nationalist youth' all in black and yellow, the flemish colours, and stuff. Damn, did that piss me off. It really fucking pissed me off. And today I saw some posters of the 'Vlaams belang' (The flemish nationalist party). And it weren't even posters of some 'rednecks' or stuff, but really, the youth. What the fuck. Face it, we, the youth, live in a community of people of all races and beliefs. And it's beautiful.
Of course, they are problems, let's not be naive and pretend all the immigrants are good people, and nothing is going wrong in this country. But young people who are that much rightists and that much believe they're better because they're white, they make me sick. Fuck, they really do. They make me feel so lost, like I'm the only white middle class girl around who actually has not even the slightest problem with immigrants or working class people. Why can't we just all live together in peace? Don't tell me immigrants cause problems too, because I know, but fuck, we, the youth, we should get rid of these problems in a nice way, not by just saying 'nay, you can't go into this country'. Youth nationilists make me worry all hope is gone.

There's not even such thing as a Belgian Nationalist. There's either Flemish or Walloon nationalism, but not Belgian. No one feels like a true Belgian I guess.
Now the youth of the Flemish nationalist party (well, not only the youth) are going so far, they even want Wallonia to be divided from Flanders. WTF? Come on, well that doesn't make any sense. They've become so racist and nationalistic they've started hating even the other, equally important, part of Belgium. Dude. I tell you, Belgium's fucked. Last year, one of the more right-winged, nationalistic parties won the elections. Not the übernationalists, but it's still alarming and disturbing as hell. It's the party who want Belgium to be divided, who strive for a fucking independent Flanders. And that while in Wallonia, the other part of Belgium, a socialist party won. And now those tho people have to figure out how to form a government from those two completely different sides. Guess what, they're failing. So much we even broke the record for 'longest without a government'. Without a new government, that is, because the last one's still ruling, they're just limited in their power for now.

Anyways, nationalism. Ugh. I fucking hate it. I really do. I'm quite a leftist girl. I mean, feeling better because you're white and middle class and Flemish? That really doesn't make any sense to me. I myself am not particulary proud I'm Flemish. Or white. Or middle class. All people are of the same value to me. Some people are black, some are white, some are yellow and some are brown. Some are catholic, some are jewish, some are moslims and some are atheists or of any other kind of religion. Everyone's a different person.. But we're all just human beings after all. I don't understand them nationalists/racists/fascists/whatever-ists.
I cannot understand them.
Are we better because we're white and Flemish?
Really, are we?
No.
No, fuck no.
Of course we aren't.
Think about it, black people for example, are better in almost everything. They run faster, they sing better, they dance better.
I mean, we're just lucky for now.
There will be a day the roles will turn, I'm sure.

Now, I love all sorts of people, but as long as they behave.
If a moslim kills his wife because she's not a virgin anymore when she marries him or shit, then that's wrong. Then I'm against it. Same goes up for gangs and stuff. I hate white criminals just as much, there's no difference. I would love all kinds of people in Belgium, they just have to behave. And I'm sure they will.

In short, I just hate young nationalists and racists. They say the future's fucked because of the ascending amount of immigrants living in Belgium. WE are the future, some day we will be in charge, and if so many young people start being such right-winged fascist bitches, then the future will really be fucked.
I'm feeling so fucking sick of  my fellow young white people right now.
