White vs. Black

When you look up the word racism in the dictionary, you will find the definition is: a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.


The race card is used daily, "it is because I'm white." or "Those crackers are doing this because we are black."

The race card has been played since Obama sought the Presidential seat and really came into play when he was elected. I remember the night and weeks after Obama won the election, I attended Stephen F. Austin College in Nacogdoches. That night people came out of their dorm rooms, and screamed, "Watch out, all you crackers, we got a black president now."


Jump ahead a couple of years, people are claiming the "birthers" are racist because they asked for Obama's birth certificate because he is black. Now they are demanding to see his records from college.

The color of the skin is not the factor into why people dislike Obama, it is his views on issues, it is his politics. Maybe the birthers have a right to ask considering there are conflicting reports coming from his own family to where he was born.The color of your skin has been a heated issue since the birth of this nation. First, group that was affect was the Indians, then came the blacks and people of Japanese decent. Everyone at some point in their lives will have to deal with being called a racist and the people in the public eye have to sometimes deal with it more.


In the definition it states racism is "inherited differences among the various human races determine cultural." We do inherent the views of our ancestors, and one powerful hand, the 'race card'; which has been played more than 100 years.
You learned people believed that the world was flat, that airplanes only existed in the imagination. People grow up, times change, views change based on one's personal experiences but, why is it that people believe this ONE belief has not changed in time. Why can we not drop the 'race card'.

My question is, are people really racist or is the race card played to much when people disagree or do not get their way?

Updates, Updates, READ all about it!

If I were editor-in-chief I would want my reporter's covering these issues that could play a role in the 2012 presidential election. We would look into both sides of the spectrum.


In recent events, Bin Laden was killed by U.S. Navy Seals, which was announced to the public on May 1st. But, even when the President addressed the death of Bin Laden, some people still do not believe he was killed and buried at sea. The people are screaming they want proof. So, I think that we should give it to them. Let's look into why they really have not been released, what is Obama saying, and what to are some outlooks from both sides. This nation is run by the people so if the majority of them want to see why do they not show us.


Second, what affects almost every person in the United States daily? THE GAS PRICES.


Today, I took a major hit in my bank account spending $103 to just to fill up my Mercury Mountaineer. My parents often reflect to when gas was 20 cents, letting me know and envy that time. I want my reporters to investigate the price increase and why if  oil prices dropped 8.6 percent, averaging $100 a barrel, why has the gas prices not gone down? How much are we using for the oil rigs off of our coast line? What could help the prices go down, without having to buy electric cars?


Also, I want my reporters to look into where America's economy is today?


I want to take a look where America is falling on the business cycle:

Obama claims we are in recovery but the American people are saying, we are still in the recession. I want to take a look in our economy and where we stand. The unemployment rate stands strongly at 8.8 percent, with seeing no end in sight. Let's take a look into the raising amount of homeless families in the U.S., and look into this 'recovery' Obama is saying we are in. Also, think about if illegals are helping or hurting this job situation we are in. What should be done about the illegals in this country?

Other topics to cover: the debt, the budget, national security, foreign policy, take a look into what we are still doing with Libya and lastly how much power does the president really have?

Reaction to Bin Laden's Death

On the same day Hitler's death was announced, the U.S. people rejoiced after hearing the death of Bin Laden:

Ground Zero, New York, New York

Washington, DC

But how did the other part of the world reacted to the death?

Asia:

Middle East:

There is no doubt everyone will remember where they were when they heard U.S.'s public enemy number one has been killed and buried at sea.
More than 3,000 innocent people were killed on September 11, 2001 at the hand of Bin Laden. On that same day the world opened its' eyes to Bin Laden and the people that followed him.
 Obama's addressed the nation (which broke in during Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice) and continually made a bunch of 'I, I, I, I' statements. My reaction to the 'I' statements: Obama was not overseas fight over there, he has not been away from his family for over 6 months or a year, and he did not shoot Bin Laden. I find it absolutely disgusting he made those comments  and only thanked the troops, who risk their lives for us, 3 times.

So, instead I want to thank the Navy Seals, who finally got Bin Laden, and all the other troops world wide and their families. Thank you for protecting my family, and this nation.

This is not the end to the war over there this is only the beginning, Le Ann Sides, a proud mother of a U.S. soldier, puts it best, "This war is not over. They will just replace him."
