Racism 2.0

 YOU ARE STILL BLACK!
Until I am no longer white, and Will Smith is no longer black, racism will still exist. The only difference from racism 2.0and the beta version is the entitlement and guilt.
What do mean by this? I mean to say, today I am expected to feel guilty for my being born white and others being born whatever label has been placed on their ethnicity. Others believe that they are entitled to some sort or compensation or leeway for their being labeled. My response to this. Not my fault.
Like I said in class, we are all racist. Even those of you (myself included) have ever said "I have a black friend" etc.
Unlike some of you, I have experienced racism on a different level. As Eric mentioned in class, I have some experience with the law. I have been to prison. For what and all the other details are unimportant at this point. In prison, I have experienced so many different forms of racism it is unfathomable how I even think straight these days -some days I don't- I have been shunned, threatened, and beaten for my racial transgression. What were these transgressions. I played basketball with a black man; I won a basketball game against a black man, I was found to be white in a black neighborhood. I was too "black"  to be white; I ate a meal with a black friend, I hugged my Polynesian friend. You see the list is defence and actually quite stupid. I've been called white boy by black friends and non-friends alike. I've been called "nigga" by black friends and have returned the favor. Yes, Ive even been called Ni%%ER by white men. I earned my "black card" by winning a basketball game against my friend from Compton only to be threatened later by his "people" to never disrespect the "brothas" like that again.
My point is we are all racist white, black, orange, yellow whatever color you may be, racism exist until we lose the labels

Web page

I think my web campaign will be to promote myself and the work I am doing as a radio DJ. I am doing a sports show with 91.3 and play by play for the college basketball and rugby teams. I could create a page to go along with this work. Doing this would help to brand myself and establish a portfolio of my successes and failures to show when I move and attempt to create a place for me in the world of broadcasting.
Although I am also considering a continuation of my wife's page about raising voter awareness, felons can vote in Utah and the disenfranchisement of felons in today's society. I do want to bring to light the struggle that a felon has to overcome within them as with the public. I would welcome any feedback on either of these before next week

PENS

Haley signing a bill.
Where is the bill for these pens?

Stop Spending money! Previous to Fox Airing Gov. Haleys Republican response they put this shot of her signing the bill to remove the Confederate flag from government buildings in Sough Carolina. What I saw was not a monumentous step forward, but a simple step in the same direction.
Look at those pens. Those things are monstrous,

12 PENS!!

Stop! How am I supposed to take someone seriously when to sign a bill or law, they need 15 pompous others guys around and 15, one hundred dollar pens, to be used once? Sheesh. I sign papers all the time. With my  BIC pen.

$4.21 Amazon.

These are nice

The cost of these pens alone could cover health care.

State Of The Union.

Yay, I get the opportunity to sit and watch some entitled Demagogue, take sole credit for events and happenings that he has little or no responsibility for bringing to fruition. Stroking his ego, while other less talented hangers on, shamelessly participate in the stroking. Standing and clapping at the most innocuous statements.

This is what I expected when I started this assignment and for the most part, I was not disappointed. However, I also got to witness a very talented speaker work magic at his craft.

While The President worked his magic, I watched my social media feed anxiously waiting for the influx of memes and other comments from the world. I was disappointed. I received nothing on my feed. I have successfully shielded myself from rhetoric. That or perhaps my likes and dislikes on Facebook and friends list just do not care. Not saying that my friends list is a list of uneducated Americans but they just do not care anymore what the President as to say.

I, For the sake of the assignment tried to spark the fire by commenting myself on the Address. What I did I get? My wife laughed at me on social media!

My supporting wife laughing at me for using my first hashtag.

My twitter feed had a few funny memes created about the State of The Union, not much though and only after I added it to my follow list.

Obamas remarks on how everyone has health insurance at an affordable rate stirred my emotions slightly. I have a hard time listening to someone who does not have the smallest connections with what is affordable tell me what I can and cannot afford.

What I concluded from this small look into my own connection with social media is that I need to take better control of what information I want. I cannot sit idly by and let Facebook decide for me that David Bowie’s death is of more importance than Iran capturing a group of American sailor’s hours before the S.O.T.U address and after receiving billions of dollars from America to get rid of nuclear material real or unreal.

Iran is important. Not as much as David Bowie, but I want to decide.

Mad about Iran
