Topic: The Race Issue | |
---|---|
Well, I was browsing through some news site stuff, and came across an article about someone that tagged a bathroom wall in regards to a shooting that never happened. It was for a college library to happen on February 1st. Well, it was bull, because, well, February 1st happened to be a Sunday. But what brings up this little blog-esque stuff is that there was a portion for reader comments. Well, there were a lot from a large amount of people. Now, the main focus of it was that it was a race issue. The person that made the threat never mentioned race, but mentioned taking out wealthy kids. It was more of a economical thing, but many made it a race issue. Many people say that we are making progress with Barack Obama in office, but I unfortunately have to disagree. I wish it was the case, but it seems that it brought the bigotry in many out in full light. One person even had the audasity to comment that if slaves were never brought to the U.S., then Obama would never have become president, so everyone should be grateful we had slavery. Now, this is something that I found quite irritating, and I wanted to get some feedback from y'all on this issue.

I actually feel sorry for close minded people like that. It must be a miserable way to live.
I do believe that having Obama for President is the start of a positive direction. |

I've never really understood racism, classism and the like. I agree with Winx. What a sad existence.
