all gingers smell of spam

I actually believe
that anti-ginger sentiments are no better than any other bigotry.

In fact, possibly worse.

A black child growing up with abuse at least has recourse to a family and friends, ginger children often do not even have that small respite.

It disgusts me to think of the abuse that these children get, simply because they have different coloured hair.

I suspect this would be considered amusing if I finished with 'and smelled like fox piss' or 'and look like Harpski', but I am not going to, I think it is uncommonly cruel and I am ashamed to live in a society where it is accepted.

Ginger beards....
... not too many laughs here, I'm afraid, but all true... ginger jokes can be a good thing.

I have brown hair but a ginger beard. It's not all ginger but enough so that my one and only attempt to grow it was met with sufficient ridicule that I never tried again. Turns out this runs in the family:

About 3 years ago now, my brother was dying. He'd had a dodgy mole taken off his back a few years before which turned out to be a melanoma and it had come back somewhere unexpected. Shit! So after a rapid decline we reach what is unquestionably the worst day of my life - I have to watch my little brother die at the age of 31.

Now we had known things were not going well for a few weeks but it had all escalated quite suddenly and one of his friends had travelled over to visit that day not expecting that it would be his last. By the time they arrived he was completely under and fading fast so they saw him but didn't get to speak to him.

A few hours later the world has ended and we're back at my, by then, late-brother's house, with his wife, trying to work out why the gravity is still working and the sky hasn't fallen in yet. His mate then turns to me and says "the bugger only went and died before we could rip the piss out of that ginger beard". Of course he'd never grown a beard before, but when you know all the lights will be going out soon, shaving is not too high on your priorities.

Now I don't advocate cruelty to gingers in the normal scheme of things, but if you can raise a smile on the very worst of days, then it can't be all bad. And my brother would only have been sorry that he missed the chance to rip back.

Red-Haired Giants of Nevada
I am sure I watched something about the ginger giants of Nevada/or Scotland on discovery, it's probaly crap but could go some way to explaining why red heads are mocked..maybe it's a primal fear thing, anyways found this -



Growing up in Nevada I had heard stories of the Sitecah from the Paiute Indians that lived in the area. They told of red-haired men and women of light colored skin as tall as 12 feet who originally lived in the area when the Paiutes had first arrived. Evidently these human giants liked to eat the Indians so they had problems making friends. The Indian tribes of the area finally joined and ambushed the giants killing most of them on the spot. The remaining giants took refuge in a cave. The Indians demanded they come out and fight but the giants refused. So, the Indians piled brush into the cave and set it on fire. Any giants that did run out were shot with arrows, the remaining giants were asphyxiated.

In the 1800s this cave was known as Horse Shoe Cave but is now called Lovelock Cave. Lovelock cave is located around 20 miles South of Lovelock Nevada.


Just imagine getting it on with a 12foot ginger woman - eeek!

I am Barbarossa!
The men in my family can all grow gingery beards. I've been growing mine out lately as one of my theatre traditions (don't ask..)
It's apparently all down to my great grandad marrying a fiery Irish redhead.
And redbeardedness is also supposed to be quite common.
I've also got a bit of red in my, um, "pleasure patch".

My latest niece is of the ginger persuasion and is quite cute with it. I'm readying my arsenal though for when she attends school and the ginger-prejudice begins.

I've always been very attracted to the redheaded woman too. Not sure why but when ever I see a nice attractive ginge my brain tends to dribble out my ears ;-).

My father is a ginger.
Well, was: his hair is white now. My fiance is a dark auburn. I've always had a thing for red hair (hell, I even used to date a guy that looks like Mick Hucknall).

Anyway, whilst I take after my mother in looks and am a brunette, I've got some beautiful copper strands in my hair that glow in the sunlight; people used to tell me what lovely hair I had, it really can look lovely.

So when I was 15, in typical surly slightly-rebellious teenage fashion, I decided to dye it. Not enough to get me expelled though, oh no. Just enough to have a few streaks of lighter hair to frame my face.

In my (non-existent) wisdom I used Sun-In. I ended up with two think ginger streaks running the length of my (waist-length) hair, on either side of my face, which clashed marvellously with: the rest of my hair, my uniform, and the embarrassed red of my face. I had to get my lovely long hair cut off into a bob, for which my mother never really forgave me.

The moral: don't use Sun-In. It's shit, and smells of rancid watermelon.

After a couple of weeks it had faded to a fairly realistic ginger colour, and I had my first (and only) experience of anti-ginger prejudice. A guy in a white van slowed down, wound down the window and shouted: "Hey ginge, how's your minge, bet it's red, just like your head!" Then he drove off.

It's not always easy being Ginger

At public school, everyone's got a nick-name, not many of the chaps had as many as I did. Some of them were alright, some were downright filthy, but the one that always returned was 'thick fucking ginge twat'. To make matters worse, I was the only ginger in the family, and the lads never tired of the old 'I bet the milkman's ginger' jokes. Oh, how I laughed.

When I was almost 13, my mum died in a car crash. My dad was never very good with the emotional stuff, and anyway, he and my mum had been living apart for a while before it happened. Gran was great, but being the only red-head at the funeral only made it clearer to me that I must have been conceived outside wedlock.

I fucked my A Levels and didn't really know what to do, so I joined the army. Thought I might see a bit of the world and get to shoot someone - might make me feel better. I used to get pissed quite a bit and go clubbing but girls didn't really feel comfortable around me.

I'd do anything to join in, once there was a fancy dress party - mainly army guys - so I thought I'd make myself the butt of all the jokes and go as a nazi. That went down like the proverbial lead balloon.

God knows what I'm going to do with the rest of my life now. My brother's going into the family business, but he's made it plain that there's not much room for me.

Any suggestions you lot?

Redhead
Personally I find redheads very attractive. My first experience... well it started like this.

She was called Sara - flame red hair, translucent pale skin, lips like two red rose petals floating on her milky skin, and a figure that was curvy in all the right places. The only downside: an accent from deepest Zomerzet, but this isn't the flirting QOTW so we didn't have to talk much.

I met her at university and had lusted after her for a while. Somehow, one night after some event or other, she ended up back in my room along with a bunch of my mates, and I realised she was subtly coming on to me. She manouevred so she was sitting leaning against my chair, with her lovely arse pressing against my foot, laughing at all my jokes and occasionally fondling my ankle.

Now my mates and I had worked out a signal for if any of us ever wanted to be left alone: I just had to tug on my earlobe and this was the sign for everyone else to leave, leaving me with the gorgeous Sara. So I tugged and suddenly they all yawned, made their excuses and left. All except Tom, who seemed to settle into his chair as if preparing for a long night. Sara's hand was now permanently on my leg, her head leaning against my knee. I tugged harder on my ear, almost wrenching it off, but Tom didn't seem to get the message and just kept talking.

I stretched my earlobe as far as it would go, waved frantically at the door with my other hand and tried to signal non-verbally to Tom that he had to get out, now. But he just went on mumbling about something or other. Finally, after what could have been hours, he decided to leave. Sara's head was heavy on my leg and when I looked down I saw she was asleep. Great.

Tom, the incompetent fool, was also a ginger. But I think that was coincidence.

Epilogue: When she eventually woke it was almost morning and she left. But some weeks later we copped off and I got to see her beautiful body, milky white with red bits: hair, lips, nipples, pussy, armpits. Armpits? Ah well, who cares.
