Offensive

Well hello: This is Ed Hattaway and I am addressing this to whomever reported my handshake blog to facebook as offensive. I would ask you to write me on my facebook page and tell me specifically want you found offensive. I realize I use cuss words(what we used to call them growing up), but I do not understand what part of the actual content you find offensive. My point was that the traditional handshake I saw military men use as a child at Fort Hood seems to have been lost and I miss that. The men I looked up to were mainly soldiers(Vietnam Vets) and i don't see that much integrity in today's world. The part about African Americans does not come from any racist place as anyone who knows me knows that i don't have a racist bone in my body. I spent 5 years in Texas prisons and was at the bottom of the food chain if you get my meaning. Being an educated white man is about a half step above child molesters on the most despised scale in that world and survived those years and did not walk out of that place hating African Americans. In fact I came away with a much better understanding of their plight. I think I handled myself in that not so warm and fuzzy environment pretty damn well, considering my treatment. I was trying to be amusing by stating the fact that allot of white guys(myself included) want to be cool(part of the beauty of the African American culture) by emmulating them and it doesn't work. We should all love who we are and be grateful that we are unique. One thing I love about America is the freedom of speech. Men far greater than I could ever hope to be have died for this right. I am as patriotic as any person in this country and when we censor our thoughts, our words, and our beliefs we dishonor those men and women who served this nation with courage and selflessness. If you are someone who knows me and I have harmed you I would ask your forgiveness, or at least indentify yourself and we can discuss this like rational and mature adults. If you do not know me, or you know of me, or you have an issue with me, I would also ask you to contact me so we can resolve this. Life is short. We ought to laugh a little, well, actually a great deal. I own my shortcomings, but I do not hate. My blog name:"Ed's Circus of Hate" was actually given to me my a friend who possesses comedic gifts as well as a keen intelligence, and I thought the title hilarious. And in jest. I just ask of you to tell me what part bothers you, or if this is personal, tell me why. Sincerely, Ed Hattaway

Ok, lets face it. Men are becoming pussies and doing all this bullshit ceremonial handshaking shit that takes about a fucking decade to finish. You've seen 'em, hell, you may be one and if you are you need to go stick your hand on a hot-ass iron right now as punishment. African Americans could get away with it back in the 60's when I witnessed it as a teenage, and even if i see footage of it now it doesn't look dated, but it does look ridiculous. If you are white and trying to pull it off you're fucked, cuz whitey ain't gonna make it happen. Get over it. You look ridiculous. What is so hard about extending your hand to another man and offering a traditional handshake? It is simple, concise, it looks honorable and it sends a message: "I am not a fuckin' idiot". If, on the other hand you extend a close fist, touch knuckles, twist it, or what i refer to as the "pop and lock," twiddle your fingers, or any other asinine gestures you also are sending a message:"I am a fuckin' idiot!), so please stop, it does not make you cool, nor does it make even "look" cool. What it does is tell the world: "My life is meaningless and I am taking up space that could be betters served by having a square peice of land for a dog to shit on(or a human if they can't make it to the nearest toilet). So just stop it okay? Nobody cares, they just witness it and want you dead.
