| this is the extent of what my day was spent muling over. its really bothering me, and i am terrified to think of what the next four years will hold solely based on how race played into the vote. dont even get me started on economy and the actual issues, it would be about four pages long of how the housing crisis started in the clinton era and isnt 'an example of bush's failed economic policies. the main thing i dont get about people is how 95% of one ethnicity can vote for one candidate who is the same colour and say it isnt about race. that is bull shit. if 95% of whites voted for mccaine, it would be safe to assume it was because he was white and everyone would be up in arms about it. had that been the case i would have been disgusted and ashamed because that just shows how far from equality we are. but no. since its black people voting for a black person, that makes it okay. isnt the definition of racism treating on group or ethnicity different from others? it is, and if that isnt the wording of it its pretty damn close. what pissed me off in my government class today was this: two black girls started off class by commenting that even though a black president is a good step in racial equality, there is still a lot of ignorance. and i couldnt agree with them more. but the exit polls indicate that it isnt the 'horrible repressive caucasians' who are racist. its the 95% of black men and 98% of black woman who are. the whites and latino's? as far as their votes split it was a 45-55 for mccaine as whites go, and the most extreme difference for latinos were their mens vote of 60-40 for obama. that is statistically normal, and is a good indication of who they most agreed with based on the issues. however, had i the time or energy to crunch the numbers for the black voters, it would be so far out of the exceptable standard deviation range based on a fifty fifty ratio of voting, even a 60-40 vote for obama, that the odds of it happening when based on real issues would be so small you would need scientic notation to express it's percentage without a couple dozen zeros behind the decimal point. i think thats why i'm so angry, because i doubt that all those african americans voted on the issues. if they had it would have still been a split for obama just based on income, but it would have been at most around 60-40. yet they feel the right to complain about ignorance? really, if obama won because the majority of the people felt that he was the best candidate as far as policy went and not just the fact that he is a young, charismatic, black man i would be more okay with the results of the election. the fact is obama won mainly because he was black. as far as martin luther king jr. goes, i feel he would be proud that we have elected a black president, but ashamed at how it was done. it wasnt because we all entered the polling booths believing we were equals and basing it on the best man to fill the job, who just so happened to be black, but because obama was black that people en mass voted for him. isnt that in itself is the kind of racism martin luther king jr was against? didnt he preach equality? that no one be judged better or inferior based on skin tone? he was a great man, an amazingly influential figure who deserves mountains of respect, but i honestly feel he would be saddened on how this 'historic first' was brought about. and one of the girls in that class tried to argue "in my old country [haiti? puerto rico? the dominican republic? to be quiet honest, i dont really care. you live in AMERICA now] we were poor....[something about obama]." let me enlighten you. obama was never 'poor.' he lived in a condo in HAWAII. and did cocaine. poor people typically dont do cocaine, they go for crack which is the cheap street version. and no one living in hawaii is really that poor. the cost of living over there is astounding, and if you are having trouble making ends meet, you dont live in a beautiful tropical paradise unless we consider third world countries. america is not a third world country, last i checked. and what does your old country have to do with obama? nothing! it doesnt even have to influence how you vote. what you are born into and what you make of it are two totally different things. if you cant understand that, why are you hear? both my parents were raised in poor to lower middle class families, and through hard work have made their way to the mid to upper middle class with the option of retirement. is it because people handed them things because they were poor? no. is it because people handed them things because they were white? hardly. its because they both worked to put themselves through college, and then my dad worked two jobs for the past, oh, twenty years. did the fact that they started off poor influence their votes? not one damn bit. it is that kind of ignorance we need to get over! why doesnt anyone see that? i cant speak out against it, because, heaven forbid, i'm white. 'everyone knows my life is that of prosperity and happiness brought by stepping on other, darker, human beings and therefor my opinion is completely worthless.' everything i have achieved to this point is because I worked for it. NO ONE gave me anything because of the colour of my skin. and to be frank, if they had i would have been offeneded. it isnt just the black girls in my government class who are bugging me with their short sighted, vacuous, and all together idiotic sense of what racism is. there is a white girl in my art class who is extremely racist. and its getting to me. she says things in this snobby sort of superior way when the only thing she has going for her is that she is pretty. and i'm not sure that she would be if she wasnt anorexic. she isnt intellegent, has no idea about the real world past her 'boy friend' who she isnt dating since he slept with another girl but she still 'loves him.' she tries to talk politics with me, but you can tell she only supports mccaine because he is white, and that is just as bad as the girls in my government class supporting obama because he's black. is this what our society has come to? that we will vote for someone based on skin tone alone? based on the person who promises to take care of you? [which i dont even get, considering the only roll our government should have is to keep use safe, not pay for our car and cable] it is for these reasons that i'm entirely too jaded for my brief 18 years to reasonably allow.... | | |
| i miss the old format, its hard to tell what stuff looks like. but i like that everything has little graphically icons i can interpret! i put on music for you lovelies. hahaha, i love george, he has amazing taste in random music. anywho, figured i should update. uh.... all i do is school. thats about it. you all would know about anything else. i have finals next week for bcc. suckage. havent studied at all, gonna fail and die. oh! i got aim. over spring break. it is hazardous to the health. o.0 my spine will never recover, and my sleeping pattern is now sadly shrunken. last week sucked, and so did the beginning of this week, as all i did was attend school and come home to hours of homework. bleh. but that is done till this weekend, when the freakish amount of studying for finals shall start. uh, for those of you who dont know or care, i have both my SAT and ACT scores. i'm such a geek, all i do on this is update you on my academia. SAT: 1340 w/out essay. 1620 total. ACT: 32??? yeah i think. haha.

| so amazing! love that song, listening to it right now. lauren made me a soundtrack of our lurve for christmas. so happy new year all! vacation, it was amusing. best part was touring fort barrancus. worst- all the historic stuff we wanted to see was closed. checked out the fsu and uf campuses. fsu is pretty nice. i'm going to do two years in florida to get my bachelors and hopefully go to an ivy league for my masters. apparently that cuts down the cost loads.... so that was about it there. we left like three days early, and i got to drive home from gainesville. ^_^ got home, chilled with lauren. had a slumber party with lauren and alina. we watched (in order) barbie in the nutcracker, barbie in the swan lake, west side story, stardust, barbie in the princess and the pauper, and the jonas brothers dvd thing. out of the five barbie movies between us, we watched the two ballets and the musical. west side story was good. i hadnt seen it. so lauren had seen it before and didnt cry, alina had also seen it before and cant cry because of her meds, and all the wile i was crying and thinking 'nooooooo tooonnnyyyyy!' depressing. so we went to bed round 4 thirty..... woke round 9 thirty and left round one. came home and instead of cleaning my room as intended i read a romance novel. now i'm updating. patchy-any time you want to come over and visit, let me know. i really want to 'hang' before break is over. note my hip lingo^.^ things left to do before school restarts: 1]clean room 2]quest to find smeaguls house, without directions (that makes it a true adventure!) 3]make my b-day card for the card exchange 4]study for physics 5]do art extra credit oooo, picked a major. international business. thats really all i've done over break. kisses and love to all! tia | | |
| anywho, so most of you all have emailed me. yay! i have an almost restored address book, just missing patchy. havent updated in a while, so i thought i would now. yesterday was pretty uneventful. that being said, i did visit alina, get feed dessert then dinner, and miraculasly cured her illness. [she was sick yesterday, -.-] so today. i sat on my lazy ass. i will repeat; I WAS A LAZY BUM!!!![censored version] i stayed in bed until my parents left to my brothers soccer game, then i ventored out and started watching a marathon of 'scariest places on earth' or something. i did this for about 7 hours, all while neglecting the precalculus, trig, and art homework i have. still have to do all of it. i figure i'll get the math done tomorrow morning, and the art sometime before lunch monday. george called and told me it was baby time. i think his uncle and aunt [?] had their forth kid, a girl who is 9 pounds and some odd onces. i dont remember. george didnt ask what they named her.... so yah. intersepted alina as she rode her bike while talking to george and successfully enticed her into my house where i made her partake in the tv watching and popsickle eating. now i'm reading fanfiction of the labryinth variety. i have a number of stories under my belt! i walked around my pool too, for like and hour and a half to make up for the lazyness of all day. i cant wait to sleep in tomorrow. bliss. so thats about it, for those who came to my birthday, gracias. twas fun! we should do it again next year. an anual birthday party. hahahaha. okay, i'm talking nonsence. thats my sign to leave........ lots of love [or a hippie lol] tia | | |
