Unity. I love it!!

On Saturday, July 25th, 2009, parts of the world came together. About 100 cities all over the world, in 6 different continents, gathered to protest for the liberty of those who were arrested in Iran during their protests during the presidential election there. This is something that's good to see. People coming together to show support for other people, even though they don't personally know them!! This is a positive step in making the world a better place. Global unity leads to global peace.

Are you for real? Racism?

A summer camp in Philadelphia with children in the grades of K-7th, went to a local pool. The camp was contracted to go once a week. When they arrived, the children went to their activity leader telling her that people were saying "what are these black kids doing here?" ARE YOU FOR REAL?!?!?!?!?! What on EARTH is wrong with these people?! These children are trying to enjoy their summer and people have to ruin it with racism!! The racism was followed by what some think of as discrimination. The camp could not return after this incident, but the club said that there was not enough room. This is SIMPLY RIDICULOUS!! The child they interviewed on CNN was crying. And then people wonder why there are blacks who dislike whites and vie-versa. The racism NEEDS TO STOP!! If not for youself, do it for the children!!
