Bl0ggin' It Wi3rd- "Don't let anyone one tell you that you have to be a certain way."

Your spring fling is warm and sandy.

Yay, it's spring break, and you're at the beach. You're relaxing on a towel in the afternoon sun when you feel something gross land on your leg. A little kid is tossing clumps of wet sand at you, and laughing his stupid little head off. The next clump hits you right in the eye, but before you can even react, someone swoops in, grabs the sand thrower, and starts apologizing profusely. You shake your head, blink a few times, and focus your eyes on your bronze, sunkissed rescuer, who says, "My mom just asked me to watch my little brother for five minutes, and I didn't realize he'd turn psycho. Are you OK?"

"I'm fine," you say as the tanned cutie reaches over to brush some sand off your cheek.

"Let me make it up to you... maybe with an ice cream? I know a great place down the beach." You agree, because you're feeling extremely attracted to this tanned cutie -- and ice cream is always good. A moment later, their mom returns and takes the little one inside for a nap, leaving the two of you alone. The cutie strokes your cheek again, gives you a flirty glance, and says "There was a bit more sand. Either that or I just like how your skin feels."

Laughing, you reach down, grab a handful of sand, and toss it at the cutie, just so you can say, "Oh, you have some sand in your hair. Let me get that for you." You chase each other down the beach, kicking off the best sand war of all time... until the cutie puts just one speck of sand on your lips, leans in lips first, and says "Let me get that for you..." You'll never look at sand the same way again.

On April 14Th, 1967 Martin Luther King Jr. gave a speech at Stanford University. The goal of his speech was to bring the world together as one.

I think that the United States still has similar problems today like the issues Martin Luther King Jr. discussed in his "The Other America Speech." America today is divided. I think that people have made it far from the past, but there is still a fine line between different groups in the country. I think that colorism has taken the place of racism in the country,but there is no excuse why people can't break the barrier held between them. People can only make you feel inferior to them if you allow them to. As African Americans we should rise up and prove the stereotypical things placed on us wrong. It is 2010 and we have no excuse for not fighting against barriers. Slavery is not an excuse any more for us not being able to reach our goals. If our ancestors fought during oppression why can't we fight for what we want we are no longer oppressed.


Area of Speech

But I'd like to use as a subject from which to speak this afternoon, the Other America.
And I use this subject because there are literally two Americas. One America is
beautiful for situation. And, in a sense, this America is overflowing with the milk of
prosperity and the honey of opportunity. This America is the habitat of millions of
people who have food and material necessities for their bodies; and culture and
education for their minds; and freedom and human dignity for their spirits. In this America,
millions of people experience every day the opportunity of having life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in all of their dimensions. And in this America
millions of young people grow up in the sunlight of opportunity.
But tragically and unfortunately, there is another America. This other America has a
daily ugliness about it that constantly transforms the ebulliency of hope into the
fatigue of despair. In this America millions of work-starved men walk the streets
daily in search for jobs that do not exist. In this America millions of people find
themselves living in rat-infested, vermin-filled slums. In this America people are
poor by the millions. They find themselves perishing on a lonely island of poverty in
the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.
In a sense, the greatest tragedy of this other America is what it does to little children.
Little children in this other America are forced to grow up with clouds of inferiority
forming every day in their little mental skies. And as we look at this other America,
we see it as an arena of blasted hopes and shattered dreams. Many people of various
backgrounds live in this other America. Some are Mexican-Americans, some are
Puerto Ricans, some are Indians, some happen to be from other groups. Millions of
them are Appalachian whites. But probably the largest group in this other America in
proportion to its size in the population is the American Negro.

Police Shock Pa. High School Student With Taser After Fight - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com

A taser is an electroshock weapon that uses electrical current to disrupt voluntary control of muscles.


I feel that the students involved in the fight shouldn't have been stop using a taser. Students fight all the time and its pretty much inevitable. From my observations it looked like the students were simply fighting with their body. If they had weapons I would understand a little more why the tasers were necessary, but no weapons were involved.So if I got into a fight with someone else would I be tasered? Would police send,God knows how many bolts through my body,just to get me to stop? I think that this incident could have been avoided. The students simply could have been torn a part. The taser should have been the last resort, but police skipped the humane way of doing things. Why?
