The day after Valentine's Day

This blog will be a little difficult after not being able to finish watching class.

I agree with Kim on the name calling of different races. I agree with this because it isn't right to call people slang terms that really hurt them. WhatIi don't agree with is that its bad when a different race calls them that but they can call themselves and people within their race the name. Example: When a white person calls an African American a "nigger" it's wrong, but when another African American calls another a "nigger" thats fine? I am just stating this irritates me because it doesn't seem like it is showing the right reason of the word.

I also want to know when did being Jewish become a race? I am pretty sure being Jewish is a religion and lifestyle. Apparently after World War II, Judaism became a race. This makes no sense whatsoever.

I don't care what people believe in, homosexuals, bisexuals, or race. None of this affects me so it doesn't matter to me what people are or believe in. What bugs me is if your gay just come out of the closet and don't lie. You can really hurt people not being honest with them.

I am not just saying you have to be white to be racist. It feels like every race is fending for themselves. There is white power, black power, brown power, etc. What I am trying to state is that not everyone is treated equal based on race. You can have someone who is completely not racist. They still will have racist thoughts though and they will still feel like they are dominant over other people no matter what race. It is almost like a human instinct for power.

I don't remember the movie. They playback didn't work for me.

  1. Interesting thoughts. What about--do you think you have to be white to be a racist? What did you think of the movie?
