My Facebook Rant on Race

    "The problem is nobody wants to talk about race anymore. It makes you uncomfortable? Good. It should make you uncomfortable at first. In my family, we openly discussed race (And some people might say it's because i'm mixed, and maybe so.) and my parents made sure that I wasn't ashamed or afraid to talk about race. White Privilege isn't a myth, it's a real thing. You think I'm lying?

Fact: there are only 4.9% of African American Undergraduates at UT, a so called "Super Liberal" University.

Fact: Predominantly black schools receive substantially less funding per pupil than predominantly white suburban schools.

Whites have had and do have an advantage in the world. Instead of acting like it's not true, own up to it, and try to do something about it!
Oh, and last thing, You think because we have a black President that racism is gone? Get real! Racism is everywhere now, and the reason people are saying it's part of our culture is because nobody is willing to stand up and say, this is wrong.

A black police officer was shot 28 (28!!!) times by four white cops. He survived, and now he's been arrested because the four white cops say that he pulled a gun on them! And there's been almost no coverage of it.

A girl on our campus tweeted that it was tempting to shoot Obama. At no point in our nations history have so many people openly disrespected the President, and 9 times out of 10, it's got some sort of racial ties."

And I just found this video of David Banner discussing the Trayvon Martin Issue
