To whichever white american this may concern,

I'mma make this short because its 2017 and I really didn't plan on dealing with y'all' this year. I understand. You all may have spoiled yourselves . . . ya' know with all of the privilege you all have been awarding yourselves since the beginning of the exploitation of the BLACK race. I get it! Nevertheless, your whining about violence that YOU initiated with an enemy that YOU created has become quite !@#%ING ANNOYING! I do not condone HATE CRIMES committed by ANY PERSON OR GROUP. Granted, right is right and wrong is wrong, but how dare white-america have the audacity to comment on cruelty and crime? Is the victim from the hate crime committed by Chicago teens traumatized? He may be. By all means, I am not decrying his pain . . . even if I was doing so, it would not matter because he is already comforted by white-america's deepest, deepest sympathies. white america has been CRUEL, HATEFUL, and committing the crime of MURDERING BLACK men, women, and CHILDREN for over 300 years now.

This is not an attempt to go tic for tac but understand this: Although what was done to him was WRONG, your white man lived! He still has his life! Our BLACK boys, girls, men, and women ARE GONE! They were brutally murdered! THEIR FAMILIES are TRAUMATIZED. WHERE was white-america's outcry when Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Tamir Rice, Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Philando Castile, and Terrence Crutcher were brutally slaughtered? When american streets are being stained with the BLOOD of BLACK boys and men? Again, this is not me saying "an eye for an eye," this is me challenging you all. I challenge you to extend that same compassion to the next BLACK man or boy that is shot simply because of the color of his skin. If you rather remain a spoiled little brat and not share your compassion, SHUT THE HELL UP . . . because at that point you yourself would have just committed a HATE CRIME!

Sincerely,

A VERY ANNOYED BLACK WOMAN

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.
