Let's Set The Record Straight America

​151 years ago, slavery ended -- or did they just modify and legalize It?

Melanin is a pigment that occurs in the skin, iris and hair in humans and animals. There are three basic types of melanin: eumelanin, pheomelanin, and neuromelanin. Dark skin humans have more melanin than light, fair and pale skin humans. No color was mentioned; the human race has melanin and some have more than others!

Let's set the record straight America, my race is human, not black! Africans, Europeans, Asians, all have melanin in them so you're either a human or an animal. There's too much focus on color and not enough focus on the real problem in America. Destruction and propaganda are how I believe America was built, from what we were taught in school compared to what I have learned and read and researched now. Those books are missing a lot of information or they modified the hell out it and dressed it up real nice.

Culture is what separates human beings. White people aren't white and if you put your body next to a white wall and don't blend in then you're not white, same with any other color! Africans, Europeans, Asians and other cultures are what the world is made of. One race with different cultures! Now that brings us to terms with cultural mistreatment, which is the problem in America. Ever since day one when the Europeans stole and claimed someone else's land. It's just not told that way, the books call it Thanksgiving. After Thanksgiving there was some cultural stealing, and three hundred years of cultural mistreatment, abuse and genocide of humans who happen to be in slavery and black!

People seem to get so defensive or offended by the term Black Lives Matter -- that's why I use the term Cultural Injustice or Cultural Mistreatment. Plus it's more of a fact than anything else, I mean with so much cultural mistreatment throughout the earth for many decades there has not been one time in America's history that any white person has been oppressed, mistreated, or genocide! American history teaches us only black people have been and still are the victims of Cultural Injustice! All Lives Matter, yes, but who's lives are safe and comfortable and which lives are been prayed upon? Black Lives Matter is the evolution of a movement that was started way before this by Dr.King, Malcolm X, Nat Turner, Harriet Tubman and the civil rights movement; all that equals Black Lives Matter. All Lives Matter, but we focus on the darker to fair skin humans lives right now!

We've got to call it what it really is and stop letting America modify the truth with distractions like All Lives Matter because that's not the problem. We as a human race must change the way we think, change the way we treat other, and the "black community" needs more unity. We need to re-educate ourselves and children on matters pertaining Cultural Injustice and how it will effect them in this world. The miseducation and culture forced upon our ancestors must be broken. We can no longer stand by and watch the destruction of our culture. The Montgomery bus boycott lasted 381 days! We have had peaceful protest and prayer, now its time for action! Come together like they did in Montgomery 1955. We can't keep supporting the oppressors, enough is enough! What else has to happen or how many more people have to die for us to see that we need more than hashtags and prayers. Look what just happened to Charles Kinsey, the behavioral specialist, and you probably don't even know who Kristina Fox is. Attacked by a mob of 20 Caucasians, almost killing her and her little brother in 2015. I'm sure they never thought that would ever happen to them! We need to support the movement because unlike all the other lives that matter there's only one culture that has to worry about walking out the door and being shot for no reason every day by the police! However we look at it, we still need to call it what it is and Cultural Injustice equals Black Lives Matter!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
