dont you get it? these people are todays slaves. sure its not the same, nothings ever the same. and thats why its still going on, in the 21st century no less.
the whole reason no one seemed to mind treating "colored" people different is because they werent the same. even after women realized thier right to vote some of the same people who jumped up and down in celebration later stood against blacks being treated equally because they felt the issue was as inequal as the black people involved.
the whole movement is centered around differences and similarities. our country believed that white women were equal with white men before black men. simply because of the color of thier skin, and today these people are denied something they have been subjected to during thier childhood, at least to some degree if not their entire childhood.
here are the questions you should ask yourself next time you are walking to your car or taking out the trash:
is the civil rights movement over?
did we leave anyone behind?
try not to jump to any conclusions about the way things should be just because you think its the accepted answer. think again about civil unions.

Dear Journal, im so glad that even when i get so depressed with my life that i think i need to write about it to distance myself from it, i still have you that will be happy and interested when i say my life is still going pretty good. it seems that the more depressed i really get the less likely i am to try to convince people i am in a good mood. so im glad that even one none of my friends care about me i still have you. it trully is a superiority complex. the only reason we write down to journals is because they are less than us and need our snippets of life to be able to survive thiers. love, bret
do you ever have a day when you are in such a good mood that you feel like you are a better person? i dont mean better person because you dont like who you normally are but because you wish you could always be in as good a mood as you are that day. Thats how i feel today. because i am in such a good mood i wish i could talk to everyone in the world that i dont know so well just so the the impression i can give them is that i am really happy with myself and everything around me to the extent that they may think i am as great a person as i feel like i am. i would love to be around you in this mood just so i would feel like you had a good grasp of the way i like to feel and possibly have a glimpse of me at my best. but since i understand you are a very busy person i will leave you with hopes of passion and value that you may enjoy both of them in some form today. ~Bret
well that was interesting. i just had a 10 minute debate (with myself) about whether or not i should shave my mustache. last night someone made fun of my mexistache and i shrugged it off like i shrug off most criticism, but later my mind wandered back to it and i decided that i did want to shave off my mustache. quickly i felt i was faced with the idea of shaving just because of what someone else thinks. i realized that as much of a candidate i have been for not letting other people determine your actions i realized that you also cant let what people think keep you from doing something you might like just because they agree with you. i have always hated the idea of letting other people determine who i am but also have been against being so adamant that no one change you that you spend your time worried so much about not being them that you still arent being yourself. it was when i looked in the mirror with a razor in my hand that i was reminded of how much this means to me.
i dont know whats going on its spring im annoyingly horny but shes still perfect i cant get her out of my mind. i dont like appointments. i dont know right now maybe tomorrow will reveil.
why is it that weaker people in general cant seem to realize when its time for them to just leave? its like when youre in a relationship and it maybe doesnt work out so well and by the time the end rolls around you are just ready to be done with them. i mean trully like not see them anymore. but they still come around maybe to try to work things out and start over or maybe to make you jealous with how happy they are now. its soo fucking annoying. if you are out of my life, especially if you had something to do with me being so happy to see the end of you why the hell do you keep coming back. if the end has come and i am loving it then dont try to change my mind just because you cant get over what we "had" or may be able to have again. just go the fuck away. seriously. i dont want to see you and thats not going to change mostly because it was a long annoying process to drive me to hating you in the first place. dont hang out with my brother and then call me if i dont accept it. dont come around my friend when he and i were happy to see you go. just be gone. we arent interested in being jealous over who you are fucking now and dont want to talk about you trying to get close to someone i care about. just go away. we dont want to talk about it. we dont want to here about it. we just dont really want to see you again ever. seriously
