America Is In A Race War

So which side are you? Black? White? Maybe the good of the Human race.

America Is In A Race War
Jonathan Eliades

So it turns out we are in the midst of a race war, and I don’t think this should be ignored any longer. The principle of this article is sparked from a video I recently watched online. I’m not sure of the authenticity of the video or backstory, but it's supposed to be set in Charlotte. It starts with multiple black men chasing down and beating the crap out of a lone white male for seemingly no reason. My reaction was unsurprising, I was disgusted that these savages did this to what appeared to be an innocent man and because of the color of his skin. Now before the hate rolls in, let me be clear the race of the people in the video means nothing except that it makes it apparent the victim was singled out because of their race. The attackers are savages because they outnumbered and brutalized someone for no reason other than the fact they could.

We are in a race war in America, but I feel the sides are not exactly what everyone thinks they are. Everyone thinks a race war is the white man versus the black man. I would disagree, I think it is mostly racists and degenerates who target innocent people based on their skin color. So that means instead of white supremacists fighting black supremacists, they’ll find a normal person who is black and jump them. Now here is when things go downhill, this attack demonizes all white people while simultaneously giving an opportunity for black supremacists to recruit. A couple of days go by and we have the same situation just an innocent white person this time. It becomes this eye for an eye that leads to everyone being blind.

I think as humans we need to realize and accept that even if there is a difference between the races, it is as important as judging someone for their eye color. Furthermore, every single person is an individual, and to judge one individual on the actions of another is absolutely ludicrous.

So really at the end of the day, the true race war isn’t between people of different races, it’s an attack on society with targets being chosen based on their race. I feel that civilized people need to unite against these savage people, because together we can overcome this fear that is created by these low-lives. We are a civilized nation, full of intelligent and kind hearted people of all races, faiths, and classes. We have the power and the capability to nearly obliterate racism in the coming years but we can’t be blind to our true enemy. So instead of looking at the video and thinking, this white guy got jumped by a bunch of black guys. Maybe we should instead look at it like this man was attacked by a bunch of criminals.

All I did was remove race from it, but it removes the idea of punishment to anyone other than criminals. It seems in the news we value too much what race did what to the other not what some unlawful person did to another. It opens opportunities for those who want to recruit for hate groups. So yes, America is in a race war, between deplorable people of every race, and civilians are the targets and the collateral damage. We must defend our own, any good standing person regardless of race, religion, ideology should be defended from these vile hate mongers. Violence will breed more violence, so let’s end it collectively as a unified whole.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
