Another Reason Why Ethnic Studies Needs To Be Saved

After all the accomplishments made by them, will people of ethnic backgrounds ever be considered as equal in America? Well, answer my question. If you say yes, then why is the majority in the states of Texas and Arizona are trying to "whitewash" their education curriculum? If you say "no they're not" then thats BS. We need to learn about our Native American, Hispanic, Latino, Muslim, Asian and African people and ancestors from the past because they are the reasons why we are able to recieve an education by going to elementary, middle, and high school, and finally college or university. They are the reason why we are able to sit and stand in the same places, in the same areas, and use the same public restrooms. They are the reasons why we can drink from the same water fountain as the white people and they are the reason why children of all ethnic backgrounds are able to wade in the water when they are in the same swimming pool with white people. They are the reason why we are able to walk on same street as white people. Education brings dignity and self-respect! We all came a long way, baby! And we can't give up now! Love and Peace 2 u all!

Carry this math problem with you at all times:

Education + Knowledge = Empowerment + Freedom

A Random Thought About the People who are looking for President Obama's birthday certificate.

I was thinking about the "birthers" who are in search of President Obama's birth certificate. Something popped up in my head: We all know that President Obama is an American citizen because he was born in Hawaii in the 1960s. Hawaii became a state of USA in 1959. Now, John McCain, who ran on the Republican ticket for President of the United States, was born in the country of Panama. Panama was a U.S. unorganized territory, but not of state of USA. Why are the birthers concentrating on Barack Obama but not John McCain? Somebody answer that for me! There are some stupid people in this world!
