I Never Thought I'd See A Resolution To This...

I don't think I thought that I would see a resolution to this in my lifetime. I'm glad that the family finally knows what happened. I know when this happened I wasn't even born yet, but I remember how much this one case did change the way that police looked for children, and that it made the reality of how easily a child could be taken common knowledge to the parents out there who thought not my child.

Now That's How You Make A Statement...

All I Want For Christmas.....

Some Bull-ISH

This commercial pisses me off to no end. Why? Well because I've only seen it on BET or when a show that is viewed by a predominantly African American/Black audience is supposedly watching. I think that is stereotypical and it promotes the idea that the only way that you can get a black person to buy a frickin' chicken nugget is to make the commercial look like a "typical" R&B or Hip Hop video. BULL-ISH!!! I don't see them making a country music McDonald's commercial and putting it on CMT. So why is ok to market a commercial that is obviously supposed to attract the black population in one of the most stereotypical ways possible. The only way it could've been worse is if they had a bottle of malt liquor and a slab of watermelon in the background. Or if they showed the chick ordering from McDonald's asking for a fucking grape soda!




Reminds me of this commercial... which is fake and basically making the same argument that I am...

Finally...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

That's a sigh of relief! LOL! I'm not done with the semester quite yet but I'm almost there. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm so tired though and I still got to keep my head in the game for another two weeks, but at least it's almost done!

I'm trying to plan myself a week of rest in January, hopefully in Florida, with my best buddy!
