Why do we need Ethnic Studies? The Answer is Simple.

We need to learn historic ethnic studies, whether it is African, Muslim, Asian, Latino, Hispanic, Native American and South American, so we as a community of people can learn about our past so we can learn how to come up and rise and move forward and take ourselves to another level and build a better future. We also need to learn about our identity and how we were put on this earth. Ethnic Studies are also broadens minds in different ways. As I said before people, ethnic studies and history can be found in the subjects of geography, different grade levels of social studies, language arts and literature, science, and psychology. Several people say that there shouldn't be any classes called Ethnic Studies, there should be one class, making history from different kinds of ethnic backgrounds into one kind of history. BUT in my opinion, when it comes to the history, community, and social studies school textbooks, the information written by the authors who are teachers and professors doesn't either tell the truth or there is not enough infomation that students need to know. Teachers say that knowledge is food for the brain. So people, lets stop feeding the children left over crumbs and lets start feeding them a descent full meal. Because honestly, if it weren't for different kinds of people from ethnic backgrounds and different countries, there wouldn't be a country called United States of America. Also, there wouldn't be various kind knowledges that we now have today in America. People from different ethnic backgrounds (including Native Americans) literally build America of what it is today. So lets protest the new education curriculum in the state of Texas, because it use to be part of Mexico and you can't rewrite true history. Let's protest hb 2281 and save ethnic studies. Knowledge is Power!! Ignorance is NOT an option for America!!! Let's make true education a right for America!!!

Please Bring Back Nancy Pelosi!!!!!!!!!!!!

John Boehner is a hypocrite because he says he is for the people, yet everytime President Obama invites him somewhere to discuss some of the problems and issues around the country, Boehner ALWAYS has something to do. What can be more important that the issues of the American citizens? If you're not willing to talk or sit down with the President to solve the problems than you weren't for the people to begin with and once again John Boehner is showing poor leadership towards the Republicans who voted for him. What is the real reason why John Boehner in that White House? Also, Boehner didn't even attend the state meeting with the leaders of China about working together. Please somone bring back Nancy Pelosi! Ms. Pelosi did what she had to do as Speaker of the House. She attended several events in order to help the people and she was a true leader and a team player. President Obama was a smart man for choosing Nancy Pelosi. Anytime President Obama pick someone for a job, you can best believe they will get the job done!

Republicans blaming Democrats and Liberals for Arizona's Tragedy

Last week I noticed that Republicans such as Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly have been pointing fingers and attacking the Democrats for what happened in Arizona. Now, I've been interested in politics eversince 2008, and I've been watching MSNBC, CNN, and CSPAN. So far, I haven't heard any Democrats use any messages insinuating violence whatsoever. Now, the Republicans, on the other hand, have been sending out several messages insinuating violence and you can best believe that MSNBC and CNN and everybody else has video info to back that up! Now, what Republicans are doing are very heartless and cruel. They are using the Arizona tragedy as a way to bash the Democrats, Liberals in order to boost your ratings. President Obama, I praise you for going to Arizona to pay your respects to the victims of this tragedy. This will take Arizona a long time to heal. President Barack Obama, you really are a people person! To Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly: I hope people who follow you see your true colors behind your mask!

Happy Birthday Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I thank God for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr so much! If it wasn't for this man, people of different races wouldnot be able to participate in schools, colleges, and universities. People of different races would not be able to getjobs that they desire. Dr. King was and still is another step up for the multicultural ladder around the world. In my opinion, some young people don't realize how good they got it. Dr. Martin Luther King and other civil rights leadersof the 50s and 60s have worked so hard to get the same kind of rights that white people have. And the people who participated in the sit-ins and those riots, when the pressure of the water was sprayed on them like dogs, the skin must have fell off those people's backs! And these young people who THINK that being ingnorant, stupid, committing senseless crimes and thinking they can get away with it and speaking improper English is cool have absolutely no idea! They in the future are about to get a rude awakening!

Republican Leaders Giving Out Dangerous Messages

I would like to say that my heart goes out to Gabrielle Gifford (D-AZ)and her family and hope for a good recovery. Gabrielle,you are in my prayers. All weekend Democrats and Republicans have been pointing fingers at each other for the responsiblity of what happened in Tuscon, Arizona. Democrats (including I) have been blaming Republicans, and the Republicans are putting the blame on Democrats. Some people also recalling the shooter's personality. I'm very sorry but I put the blame on the Republicans and the Tea Party Members such as Sarah Palin, Sharon Angle, Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Bachman, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck and the rest of the FOX NEWS CHANNEL fans. You just can't go on television and radio and say outlandish messages. When Republican leaders say these messages they may mean one thing to the Republican leaders but they may mean something else to the people who are listening to them (Republican leaders). Eversince 2008, Republican leaders have have spreading dangerous subliminal messages of hate in order to gain popularity and boost ratings. The ways of campaigning among the Republican leaders have gotten out of control calling themselves praticing "free speech". Republicans leaders must stop promoting violence to people as solutions to situations! Words have power! You have to be careful what you say because leaders are role models too and they have followers. I just felt the need to get off my chest. This is also my opinion no one else's.

Should the N-word be edited or erased from the story, "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"?

I just heard that the word "nigger" that was used in the story over 219 times, "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Samuel L. Clements, will be erased or edited. Me personally, I'm against erasing or editing the word, "nigger" simply because the majority is trying to make African Americans forget how they were treated, how they were negative stereotyped and were valued in the days of slavery. This story explains how children learn racism and negative stereotypes from adults. It also teaches how the majority's opinion about African Americans back in Clements' time. Back in those days, the words, nigger and slave both were completely different from the words human and person. People, this is just another way of the majority trying to "rewrite and change history" . The story, "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", was another story about the truth of racism that made the majority look bad. As a matter of fact, the majority doesn't want anybody too watch, read, and learn anything that is going to make them (the majority) look like the enemy today.

Sarah Palin's complaint against Michelle Obama

I'm distraught at the fact that Sarah Palin talked trash about Michelle Obama encouraging children and other adults to eat healthy. I guess Palin lets her children eat whatever they want. I can't believed that Palin went to a school and brought cookies (that contain sugar by the way) to students protesting Michelle Obama's campaign. I wonder if Palin is
awake of the reasons why Michelle Obama encouragement for her "Let's Move" campaign. Michelle Obama is encouraging other people to make wise decisions when it comes to eating and she wants people to live a longer life. Obesity is at a all time high today, especially in the South of the United States. Is Sarah Palin aware that when people eat all kinds of junk food, that parasites and toxins build up inside the body? Is she also aware that toxins build up as well when junk food is eaten by people? These parasites and toxins can make the body feel tired. Again, is Sarah Palin aware of all this? That is why Michelle Obama wants other people to make the right choices and eat vegetables and fruit. Vegetables and
fruit cleanse the system and get rid of all these toxins and parasites that Sarah Palin suggest that we should shove down our throats from our bodies. Also, if we don't eat fruit and vegetables regularly, our colons won't get cleaned. That is how colon cancer is formed.

The BP Oil Spill in the Gulf Coast (written on July 2, 2010)

BP doesn't care about the well-being of people. It is all about money! By any means necessary! Keeping money within one's own pocket. So far as I see in my eyes is selfishness, inhumanity, and greed with the rich self rightoeus BP. While the oil rig in Louisana was in operation, BP was warned many times about something wrong with the rig, but the people in charge ignored the issues because of their greed. BP rather sacrific our sacred culture for the love of money. It's a shame that sometimes people suffer the bad things that comes with the greed of huge companies. The things that I seen on the news about the oil spill was heartbreaking to me. The Gulf Coast was intensly raped within the hands of money hungry CEOs of BP. An area of sacred wildlife is a ruined waste dump. The sacred wildlife is having a hell of an impact behind BP's love and greed for money. There are various birds, fish, and other animals (some are endangered species) that are covered with oil and dying from breathing trouble (this issue could be considered grounds for imprisonment). People lives and businesses have been ruined behind this ordeal. BP doesn'realize they messed up the entire country because most of the seafood that people eat in America comes from the Gulf Coast. Also, there is a huge chance that the Mississippi River (that flows through the country) will be polluted with oil affecting the drinking water! BP mainly shows concern about maintaining their images than our home. If BP can spent money doing commercials on TV claiming they are doing the best they can, then they can afford to clean up the oil spill. BP often shows their cowardness by stopping photographers and news people from informing people of what is really going on around the Gulf Coast. People who want to volunteer and work for BP in order to help clean up the oil from the explosion are getting the runaround from this company, telling them that they will get phone calls soon. But the people that BP did hire aren't allowed to talk to the media because BP wants Americans to be dumbfounded about what is
going on in their own country. Also, people are being ignore by BP about information on filing claims and everything else. BP is so heartless and cruel that they didn't even check on the families of the victims who were killed in the explosion! The families didn't have to suffer through that. The victims didn't have to die like that!. The workers didn't have to suffer through injuries! We must learn to prioritize! What is more important? Safety and life or money? In order to run a business people must learn to take care of their employees! If people don't realize that, there will be problems. This oil spill in the Gulf Coast could have been avoided! When BP learned about the problems with the oil rig in Louisiana,
they should have stopped everything! BP, you don't care about life, all you care about is money and your benefits, so you can live in your damn mansions condos and drive expensive cars! BP, you're not our pimps, using the Gulf Coast of America to get what you want, keeping us in the dark when something happens, and telling us to "shut-up" and slamming the door in our faces when we have something to say and talk about, then try to screw us over with a couple of dollars! And we are not your whore, BP, while you're taking what belongs to us, then making your money off it, and selling it off as yours property! BP, we're not as "dumb" as you thought we were. We the people of the Gulf Coast do have common sense. BP, you can't just punch us with your fist, then give us a kiss and convince us that it will never happen again! It doesn't work like that! BP, you must suffer the consequences of your actions!
