We need to use social media for something besides being airheaded and seeking followers. Most of what I see in social media are people posting idiocy, when the country and the world is crumbling right in front of you

is there a reason why tumblr now has the same crap trending as facebook and twitter, I thought I might find intelligence here, oh well, my bad

I find myself in a state of confusion. If everyone wants to be treated equally, why are all the ethnic groups screaming out about color and nationality? Just my opinion but you don't shout ”Black Lives Matter” without implying that white, Hispanic, Asian etc., don't matter. Of course black lives matter. All lives matter. Yes I know, as soon as people see this, and see that I’m white they will dismiss me as another racist white woman over the age of 50. They wont read far enough to know that I don't see color, I see people. I look for what a person has to say. If I am met with trash such as what flows out of Jamie Fox's mouth, or the butchering of the English language we now call Ebonics; I respond with thinking that person is ignorant and walk away. Your ancestor fought hard for equal education. It seems a bit ungrateful to their memories to make a bunch of gibberish to further separate yourselves from other races. Lets face it, you don't want equality, your want superiority and that only pushes us further from coming to understand and care about each other. I am white, my children are Hispanic and I have family who are mixed. We don’t separate the thanksgiving table into white, Hispanic, black and mixed, we don't see each other that way. We are family and we love and care about each other. Don’t scream to me about racism and then emphasize your color, ,because when you do so, you, yourself are the one seeing color, not me. 

You will never change people who hate you based on your skin color. You will never erase the stigma of color until the leaders and strong voices stop screaming about skin color and start screaming about every one being treated the same. 

I have a wonderful list of books that need good homes. For a complete list send me an email. [email protected]

Is your personal safety at risk? Do your daily habits increase your risk of becoming a victim of a violent crime or home invasion? Most of us go through our daily routines with little or no thought to what or who is around us. College student to housewife, every one of us should be taking personal responsibility for our own personal safety. Some may say that our personal safety should be a problem for law enforcement, however, most of us don't have a police officer following us through our day or living in our home. Do you text while walking down a street or to and from class? Do you have beautiful shrubbery near doors and windows? Do you check your back seat before jumping in to your car? These are only a few examples of risky behaviors. This is an easy to follow guide to minimizing your risk factors.
