Racism Alive

Despite major accomplishments that would have an optimist like myself
believe that racism for the most part has been conquered, incidents like
this are a sobering reminder that we as a society have a long way to
go.

Scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. Historian and director of the W.E.B. Du
Bois institute for African American research at Harvard University was
arrested after trying to get into his own home.

Henry Louis Gates Jr. lives on Harvard University campus. The police
responded to a call at 12: 45pm which reported two black men with book
bags breaking into a home. When the police arrives they found Dr. Gates
already in his home, asked for ID. Dr. Gates presented both his Harvard
identification card and his Massachusetts Driver's license, and
explained that the door was jammed. When the police arrived he was on
the phone reporting the problem with the door.

Dr. Gates was arrested. If the police arrived and found a white man who
provided a drivers license and a Harvard University Identification card
and explained the situation ..do you think they would have been arrested
the way Dr. Gates was?

FYI in 2004 on the same campus an African American professor who had
taught Neuroscience for 25 years was stopped and arrested after police
confused him with a robbery suspect -____- I do not understand how you
confuse a seasoned Harvard Neuroscience professor with a robbery
suspect....

Let me know what you think about this, personally I'm shocked and
dissapppointed

Talk to soon!!!

The Wrestler

If you haven't seen The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke you must find a copy
and watch it soon!!

This movie was extraordinary! To be honest I did not expect so much
from it but this film shattered my expectations and taught me not to
judge a movie by it's title.

This movie was an emotional roller coaster with the upshot theme of
forgiveness. And the reality that people get older. Don't put all your
eggs in one basket, Value your children.

Most importantly plan for the future!

Talk to you soon!!!

Sarah Palin Steps Down

Former Candidate for Vice President, Sarah Palin will be stepping down
from the Office Alaska Govenor two years before the end of her term.
Some say it is because she is tired of not being popular some suspect
she may be planning for a bigger political move. Either way I doubt
that she will be running for president in 2012 after stepping down from
office as Govenor.

Stepping down from Office is not exactly the best display that someone
is a competent leader. Palin is said to have a book which is already
written debuting in the Spring of 2010. I am hoping that this
resignation is a part of a huge political strategy because if it is not
then this is really wack to back out of elected office. Not to mention
the fact that Palin will be setting a bad example that women in Politics
can't handle pressure. As much as I am not a fan of Palin for president
or Vice President, I am disappointed to see her step down.

Ethical or not it is in the best interest of Women everywhere to have
female faces in the field of politics.

Good Luck Palin! thanks for letting down little girls everywhere :/
