Let's discuss the "Anti-Racist Allies Workshop".

According To Professor Kennedy, Being White Is A Problem

A professor here at the University of Nebraska at Omaha held a workshop titled "Anti-Racist Allies Workshop". The professor who ran this workshop is Tammie Kennedy who can best be described as a professional useless person. Her areas of research include feminist rhetoric and whiteness studies (yes, apparently it is a real thing). The description of the workshop focused only on "whiteness" and so I had the urge to attend. To put it gently, this workshop was the biggest pile of cow manure that I have ever seen in my life, and my uncle owns cattle. It was like watching a Huffington Post article come to life. I almost had a brain aneurysm listening to her and others in the room.

I took notes during the workshop and here are just a few of them:

Believed Ferguson was "whiteness against progress"

They forgot to mention that Michael Brown robbed a store and assaulted a cop. They also forgot to mention that violent crime went up following the justified shooting.

Whiteness is haunting and becoming a big problem

Uhm, first off no. It is only a big problem because you and other ignorant leftists made it up. What do I know, I am just so full of white privilege.

I must recognize my white privilege and learn how to dismantle it

"I will take ridiculous statements for 400 Alex." I am not going to check my privilege.

Intersectionality is important

Much like Identity politics, intersectionality is nonsense.

Side note, there was a math professor there who tried to tell me that Keynesian Economics works. Pro tip: never trust someone who agrees with Keynesian Economics.

The entire workshop was nothing but subjective statements not backed by logic or facts preached to an audience of beta males and depressed Hillary Supporters. To other UNO students, be careful because Tammie is not the only ridiculous professor on this campus.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
