10 Reasons Why You Should Be Racist
huffpost.com

Racism (n): belief that all members of a certain race has characteristics that define it as inferior or superior to another race

Prejudice (n): preconceived opinions or biases that are not backed by rational evidence or experience

Bigotry (n): intolerance and narrow-mindedness towards different opinions

1. You believe that the amount of melanin defines one character.

Who knew that those pigments had the ability to determine a person’s potential–it’s mind-blowing, really.

2. It’s not always skin-deep (excuse the pun).

Although you do place physical appearances on a pedestal, other aspects such as religious tolerance and cultural appreciation are foreign to you.

3.You don’t appreciate diversity.

Why be different when you can all be the same, right?

4. You’re not the biggest fan of the “all men are created equal” shindig.

Your rights and freedoms are worth more than the person next to you—privilege and entitlement? Sign me up!

5. Trump is your savior.

That very experienced businessman—sorry, politician—will make America great again.

6. You love blaming others for your own problems.

Swerve that responsibility and point those fingers, you’re doing good.

7. Your mantra has become “ignorance is bliss.”

Why educate yourself to become more aware of making informed decisions when you can just assume? The answer to this question is uncanny.

8. You channel stereotypes.

If you could use a label maker with people, you would.

9. You’re an “all or nothing” type of person.

One individual did something wrong? Let’s just blame the entire race and call it even.

10. And finally, you would rather be known as bigoted rather than compassionate; prejudice rather than accepting; and a racist rather than a humanitarian.

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.
