Why Do People Stare?

Why is it that every where I go people like to stare? I mean, these are the people that stare at EVERYONE. Black people are certainly no exception. If you stare back, then they act like they are going to beat your ass. Mexicans tend to stare too, but from a distance. And then you have white people that stare. They usually just stare and snicker and look away. At least they look away. People should learn some friggin manners in this great country. It is one thing to live in Chicago or New Jersey where it is expected for people to be loud and to stare and be all up in your business, but why in these great southern states do people not adhere to the traditional decorum that is our society?

It is rude, offensive, invasive and downright ignorant to stare at somebody. When you stare you only show your own ignorance and inability to quickly assess that someone else is now in your sphere of influence. The funny thing is, people who stare have aggression problems and this is how they subconsciously feed their need for confrontation, attention and ultimately a weak sense of validation. They may walk away with some snap judgement that helps them sleep at night. It is a shame that one cannot experience life without feeling the need to convince themselves that they have some sort of edge in dominating others. When I want to stare, I tell myself that that person deserves respect, at least from a distance.

So here's to you ignorant redneck, hyped-up black guy and slow-chewing Mexican. You don't just look at people, you stare at them to "conquer" them just as a gorilla would try to dominate its other primates. You throw reason and intellect to the wind and say to yourself "Today I am somebody. Today that white guy, cute chick, family man or professional didn't even dare look back at me. I am sure I could be a Mafian leader one day, or perhaps even a successful criminal."
