I AM

I am mulatto
I am the element of the melting pot
I am the mixing spoon
I am trying not to see color
I am all for equality
I am not convinced change will come
I am positive there will be prejudice
I am adapting to the daily hate
I am deaf to the races slang
I am apathetic to the callow racist

Far From A Metling Pot

The students in Jena, Louisiana should commited a hate crime, but what was most disgusting is that they were not given punishment for their actions. My reaction is nonchalant, racism in the United States stands strong, and there will never be a day of no prejudice. This incident and the one in Little Rock, 50 years apart, are similiar in the way that there was not punishment for hate crime. I see prejudice and racism as something callow and very shamefull.

MLK VS. MALCOM X

MLK's methodology on civil rights rein over Malcom's, because the use of passive resistance is amazing. Confusing your oppressor with love when the enemy is expecting violence, is most effective to change. As well his use of boycott, these are all non-violent demonstrations of effective change to equal rights.

Mind Over Matter

Make Me A Sammich

This is sexism, one of many ideas of what a woman should be in the 1950's. This advertises a new stove with a house wife smiling, the idea that the woman belonging in the kitchen.
