It sucks that Americans are so indulged in what is going around everywhere. Before WW1, we were an isolationist kinda place, which wasn’t good. It’s in our culture to talk about things to avoid the things that we face directly. Seeing people complain about Beyonce is really bothersome and a perfect example of this. While we seem to want diversity, understanding, education, and equality, its like we are drinking to avoid our problem. Race is a real thing in this country and the fact that we can’t look past something so basic as the color of someones skin is utterly ridiculous and pathetic. I hold my own prejudice, against both of my ancestries. Yes, it’s important to be involved and educated about what is going on everywhere in the world and how things are running, but are we really gonna try to pretend like posting on FB and being informed is going to do any good when most of the people posting aren’t gonna do anything productive towards the cause. If you are, that’s a different story. But, for now, we really need to work on our problems here before we worry about all the things going on. We are still new to this. Our high horse of equality and righteousness is worthless to the rest of the world. Our elections are a joke right now. We still have hate between races. Hate between sexualities. Hate within races. I’m just so tired of hearing from people who can’t do anything but complain about how no one pays attention to the world as they turn their head to the things that are are directly affecting everything that we have here.
