People of all races are standing together to support Black Lives Matter (BLM), especially after the recent shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, whose deaths were both recorded on cellphones.

Well, according to Tomi Lahren, BLM is the new Ku Klux Klan. Tomi Lahren is simply a puppet who is an anchor that proves that her only worth on live television is putting down black people , and bringing up their criminal history. It is clear that she overly rehearses her scripts, to ensure that her voice inflections are on points that highlight Black people knocking down white supremacy. My problem is not with her bad hosting skills, my problem is that every chance she gets she enjoys trying to tell a Black person they are wrong for feeling a certain way.

For starters, Tomi Lahren decided to tune into the BET Awards, a show dedicated to recognizing black excellence even when others fail to do so. She already has a hatred for Beyonce, who performed during the halftime show at the Super Bowl, but also opened up for the BET awards with one of her singles “Freedom” featuring Kendrick Lamar. Tomi Lahren Feels, that Beyonce is a cop hating racist. Well guess what Tomi, for the Super Bowl performance and BET performance both had to get approved and everyone else liked it. Not only that , Beyonce's true reasoning behind performing at the BET Awards were to give people a chance who could not see her in concert a glimpse of all of her hard work from her tour.

Although I am sure Tomi cringed as she watched Beyonce perform flawlessly , the highlight of everyone's night was when Greys Anatomy Actor Jesse Williams gave a speech that declared that Black people be treated fairly in this country. I just do not understand. You tune into a room full of black people and get mad that the conversation of oppression is brought up? Tomi, that makes no sense to me.

Tomi, your poor journalistic skills continue to shock me until you went on to CNN’s reliable sources and admitted that you are nothing but a commentator and not a real journalist. Tomi, how do you put down #BlackLiveMatters and continue to tweet #BlueLivesMatter. Not all cops are bad just as not all black people are bad. To be an officer is by choice, but to be black is not. Just because is it said that blacks have the same civil rights , does not mean we are given them. Everyone knows that actions speak louder than words. You are only participating in #BlueLivesMatter as a backlash to BLM and to stir controversy not because you truly care.

Now, I see you for who you are Tomi. You are lost, and enjoy denying your white privilege as if it is how you get paid. You say you do not want this country divided, then understand you will never know what is like to be black. See the difference between a commentator and a true journalist is understanding perspectives. That is one thing you fail at.

These are my final thoughts, and God bless America.

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.
