I was watching BET the other night waiting for Comedy Showcase to come on. Good lord, BET has fine ladies on it
.
Ahem.
Anyways, a debate was on discussing if an attack on Afghanistan was 'our' war, meaning African-Americans. One gentleman was a journalist from Washington, and his view was that we are all Americans, terrorists don't care what the skin tone of the people they killed were. If you leave the U.S, you are an American. Period.
Cool.
The woman who was debating against him, was trying to state that this was not a war for Africans or Hispanics, because of the way minorities have been treated in the U.S. At that very moment I was thinking, hardly anywhere else in the world are people allowed to express their views so freely, and yet she still condemns the very country that allows her this freedom.
It was the WACKEST debate I ever seen. How can this 300 lb defensive tackle-looking woman state that this is not a war for minorities? Does the minority list include white women, because they are historically minorites, too.
Just out of curiosity, I did a search comparison on the word 'racism' vs the word 'aerobic' on this site. 'Aerobic' beats out 'racism'....by 14 more words, a very small margin.
Now, I'm not trying to instigate anything. It's just as a person who grew up in a SERIOUSLY multi-cultural family ( my family is like the United Nations) I have a hard time seeing the differance between race..I should say tribes, we are all human.
Anyways, back to studying cell biology.
Peace.
