Theme night

Now Playing: Infinite Mass - No. 1 Swartskalle
Topic: Tv
Every now and then Swedish tv has these theme nights, and tonight's theme was racism and nazis.
I don't get it. I really don't get it! Haters (not sure if they were real nazis or just wannabes) from all over the world meet up to hate people from other countries. Who gets to decide which countries are in, and who to hate? They showed some people going to a meeting in Serbia, but if you asked a Swedish hater they would probably say that Serbs would be on the "to hate" list. It all reminds of a Dave Chapelle sketch.

But I guess I've always been clueless when it comes to these things.
In preschool my best friend was girl with big dark curly hair, and she was supposedly different because of that, people later told us, but I didn't get it. There was a boy who liked to play dress up with us girls, he was different they told me. I didn't get it.
For some reason I still remember the time when I was watching a movie with a bunch of friends, we were probably 10-13 years or something like that. And someone commented on the fact that the character of my fancy didn't look like us. I still didn't fully get it.
When we were about twelve or so, refugees started to come to our little village. At first we were fascinated and they became the center of attention. Suddenly there were so many and we were told to...not like them anymore.
It was also around that time that I discovered Salt'n'pepa, my cousins liking of LL, and Warren G's Regulate. Now I listened to strange music.
In high school I read about KKK and the civil rights movement in an attempt to understand. I tried to convince myself that I understood.
I've taken classes in American history and politics at uni. I've shouted at the tv during Crash .
I'm still not sure I get it.
