I think that if John McCain wins the presidency this November, I am leaving the country. Next year, I am graduating from high school and going off to college, and I will probably try to spend as much time abroad as possible. Why? Because I believe that, if elected President, John McCain will hurt America.

When I was little, my grandmother would read me Little Black Sambo, by Hellen Bannerman, though one thing eluded my understanding: how do tigers turn into butter? I could never quite wrap my mind around that, but I simply accepted it as fact.
So last night I finally saw "American History X" and I loved the movie. But at the same time, there was one major thing that disturbed me about the movie. The curb stomping scene really got to me. After I saw the movie, I have been researching a ton of different topics, from curb stomping to white supremacy and many other things. Honestly, I am appalled.
The videos below are from a month ago, but just a few days ago, a friend of mine sent me this video and this just grinds my gears to see how certain people can be so ignorant.
To start, I'll say ahead of time that this article is based off of a few assumptions:
1. Every opinion is formed for a reason, no matter how twisted, strange, and deluded that reason may seem to others.
2. For the purposes of this piece, "racism" is defined as a fear/loathing/predisposition to or against another race, orientation, or religion.
I'm sitting here listening to some Elton John on the radio. I sure do hate that guy. Love his music, just hate the individual. What really set me off about Elton John was his "Americans are misogynistic" remark at a Hillary Clinton fundraiser not too long ago.
The title says it all; and I want you to know that most of the stats that they keep putting out are not true. Most of the African Americans I know are NOT voting for Obama because he looks like them. Then again most of the African Americans that I know are not college educated and automatically fall into the I'm-voting-for-Hillary-cuz-she's-a-Clinton category. Is that sad?
