I acknowledge that I have certain immaturities that are obvious and blatant to people I interact with. I am admittedly childish when it comes to diplomacy, tact and communication as a whole. I accept that I have character weaknesses and that I'm probably immature in many areas which I'm not even aware of.

Today we discuss minorities, and how hypocritical those in a majority position become without even being aware of it. What's acceptable for a person of popular beliefs and attitudes is chastised in a minority, and that makes us as minorities stronger as a result.

I recently called someone a "scumbag" for being racist on the South African Atheists group on Facebook, and in doing so I broke the rules of the group. I was subsequently muted for that, and that's fine I accept the consequences of my actions but I continued to follow the discussion silently. The flagrant racism that ensued blew my mind, I have never experienced this level of tolerance of racism in my life but sadly it was the anti-white flavour of racism which is still widely acceptable in South Africa, even among politicians.
