what? thats silly, how can the environment be racist?

Ooh you mean the placement of environmentally hazardous facilities in minority communities. I had to turn to the internet to find out what environmental racism was, which was hard because the internet is not for learning. Even if there IS a conspiracy where the government is using every sleazy method they can to kill off black people, black people should just ignore it. And stop claiming everything is racism, because everyone is a little bit racist. If the people of Camden, (somewhere in america(i guess)) hadn't cried racism then they may have won their lawsuit. It is very easy for them to prove that those facilities are harmful to their community but it is next to impossible to prove that they are there solely to kill black people. black people cant claim that they are targeted when all their evidence points to all poor and politically powerless people are being targeted by environmental racism. Black people just happen to suck and live in poor neighborhoods. What i'm trying to say is that it sucks to be everyone (especially Gary Coleman r.i.p.). Too bad they cant all go live in Canada, like my girlfriend, where nobody has problems. I digress, the people aren't suffering because they are black but because they have no political power, which is tragically a staple for black communities, and none with political power wants the facilities in their neighborhood. In other words these industries can be as loud as they want when they are screwing poor folks. I guess i'm suppose to come up with some conclusion and what not so I will leave with this last sentence. Avenue Q and Katty Perry are Awesome!

"ASSESSING ONES SELF" sounds so gross, doesn't it?


I basically have no readers so I guess I am allowed to say just about anything here. My previous posts were exceptionally tame and from now on that will change. Since this change might bring about new readers who wont take the time to review my work, I will assess it here and now afterward you all will know exactly why it sucks and isn't worth your time. Due to no fault of my own all of my post are about Obama because while drifting in and out of focus in this class the only topic I hear them discuss is Obama and blackness or whatever. The only reason I write this blog and risk being committed, is because my English class requires it which limits my themes to oddly enough African american issues. Over time the posts gradually got lazier which of course could be attributed to my own growing laziness. A tad bit of honesty has sneaked into my latest posts. While re-reading my posts I was actually surprised because I don't remember writing any of them. (not that I cheated, I just have a bad memory) If you like torture and take it upon yourself to read all of my posts then you too will notice that none of them are worth revisiting, sadly that will be the last thing you notice as your eyes bleed leading to permanent blindness. (unfortunately for you every word of the posts are now burn into your psyche and will haunt you forever) On the bright side blogging every week helps me remember what day it is (not really) and I have given up on my dream of becoming a famous author like Karrine Steffans. (and I mean exactly like her) Mostly I value the humor buried in all of these posts. (however morbid it may be)

     Though it may not be apparent by reading my posts, English is a subject in which I excel. My talents lie in playing the devil's advocated, so I write exceptionally well when portraying to offensive, obnoxious, and vulgar writer or whatever view directly opposes commonly accepted ideals.(there is no proof of this) This of course is all in good humor and I mean no offense whatsoever. However arrogant it may be I have taken this as an excuse to daydream about shota, traps, or lolis during class. My point is to answer the teachers question, no offense, but I feel I have learned nothing about the concepts that we covered this semester. To be honest I also find it laughable that one of the questions asks if we consider a "global perspective" while writing when all our topics are about black issues, which is obviously an attempt to help us relate to the topics but only serve to perpetuate stereotypes due to the stereotype threat effect.
