You don’t know what it’s like to be in a frying pot
You don’t know what it’s like to mind your business
And get stopped by the cops and not know if you ’bout to die or not
You worry ’bout your life, so you take mine

I wish we could trade shoes or we could change lives
So we could understand each…[Read more] -

The video comments on the incidents that have happened to many people who are told to speak English while…[Read more]

It was mentioned in class how many of the people that visit these landmarks tend to be white, whereas we see less minorities visiting these areas. National parks have a great history of racism, which could be the reason for…[Read more]

This picture shows a 6 year old kid named CJ and his father. CJ was refused entry into Book’s Christian Academy on the very first day of school due to his hair. The school had certain policies that did not allow boys to have long hair and apparently CJ’s hair violated that. After the incident his father wanted to take action against th…[Read more]

This week we mentioned hallmarks of American citizenship, one of them being voting.

This week we touched up on borders and Native American land. This is a picture of an app that was created by Victor Temprano, which shows real land in North America and Australia and who it originally belonged to before it was stolen. Rather than using artificial borders, the map bases the separations of these groups by natural borders, some…[Read more]
