Dear readers, Back to what we were saying. Firstly, fighting will get us nowhere. So we fight for blacks today. Even look at it. Not to be rude or anything, but some of you don't even know what you are fighting for! To some of you, you see people tagging each other and creating the Minnosetan Funds and you're like 'Sounds like fun!' and you start posting pictures of black people carrying posters that shout for freedom and you consider you have done your part. WRONG!!!  And to the people who ARE actually fighting, I congratulate you on your strength to take no more and decide to fight for what is right. But there's something I have to ask you: WHAT DO YOU WANT? Yep, you heard me. No, I am not kidding. and yes I've seen what is written on your posters. But what do you actually want? You make posters that say black lives matter. Obviously, it doesn't matter to those policemen if they could kill all those black people. Problem 1. Now, posters are...

Dear readers, We have all made a grievous mistake – including me. We were so fired up after the brutal murder of George Floyd that we let our emotions get the better of us. Sometimes, we need to look at the whole picture. There are two parts to what I’m about to say. Firstly, we’re fighting for the wrong thing. Yes, Black People in America have been oppressed for years and it’s right for them to want their own pound of flesh but when all is truly said and done, what will we, as a whole, have accomplished except for more bloodshed, tears and a burning hatred? Yesterday I watched a movie called American Son on Netflix (I think we should all watch that movie). It put my whole perspective on George Floyd’s death and racism upside down. As I’ve said before, fighting won’t get us anywhere. And we’re partly to blame for some of the racist issues. While not all policemen are the moral figures that they’re portrayed to be in storybooks, they are policemen for a reason. A policeman i...

When a white man kills a black man, it is called self-defense but when a black man kills a white man it is called murder. When a black man kills a black man, it is called gang violence but when a white man kills a white man it is called an accident. When a Muslim kills a white man, he is called a terrorist but when a white man kills a Muslim he is written off as mentally unstable and shipped to a nice psychiatrist facility. I don’t think we can call what happened to George Floyd an act of racism. Why? Because, my dear readers, racism is the belief that one race is superior to another or OTHERS.   Even in this time of COVID19, you won’t see the police trying to gun down a Chinese guy for trying to pass on a suspected fake 20 bucks. I don’t think we can call any of this racism. It’s only focused on us blacks. It’s like they’ve got a problem against us alone. If you should search up racism anywhere, you would see that it’s focused on black people alo...

Terrance Franklin Ariane McCree   Miles Hall Samuel David Mallard George Floyd ************************************** These are very few examples of black people who were unfairly killed in 'incidents' with the police.  Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioural traits corresponding to physical appearance and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another. The very thought that one race is 'superior' to another is complete and utter  bullsh*t. Everybody's perfect just the way we are. I think racism isn't a belief of superiority but rather the result of intimidation of that supposed 'superiority'. i.e Racism didn't just spring up from the ground. It came from the fat tat because black people where first known for slavery, the fact that those 'slaves' suddenly started eating ideas of their own was ludicrous.  Speaking of that, look at it? You believe you're  superior to us? ...

“Sup dude, what’s popping?” “Nothing much. Just chatting then at 3 I’m going to head out to Stardom” ( Oh no, why did I tell him!) “The club? No way! Do you know how long I’ve been longing to go there? Dude, I got to come with” (Wicked!) “Uh… I’m acc going to get some fuel on the way so I might be a while” ( Please don’t come, please don’t come) “Wait… what car are you taking again?” ( You don’t mean to tell me..) “Um… I’m still using my Toyota Corolla (There. It’s out!) “You mean… na don’t worry. I’m good. I’ll catch a ride elsewhere” (What a joke! He’s still using his 9-year-old car.. you got to be kidding me!) ******************************************************** That, my readers, is a classic example of low self esteem and one big jerk! Self esteem is a person’s overall feeling of self-worth or personal value. Now, we all say to ourselves, ‘I believe in you, Matthew’ or ‘Let’s go, Janie’ but do we really support ourselves or is it just an illusionary shield ...
