Let's Set The Record Straight America

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

Let's Set The Record Straight America

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!

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.
