I'm Black And I Want Racism To End IMMEDIATELY!

For those who didn't know, Lebron James's house in Los Angeles got vandalized with a racial slur on his gate by an unknown person on Wednesday morning. On the same day, Lebron informed the media about the incident and said, “No matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no matter how many people admire you, being black in America is tough, and we’ve got a long way to go for us as a society and us as African Americans until we feel equal in America.”

Here's my message to my people:

We need to fight racism; it's getting outrageous. The only way to end it is to stand up, educate ourselves, protest or talk to anyone that you trust. Racism can happen to anyone, including Caucasians, African Americans, Spanish, Asians, etc. I've experienced racism before. I've been called the N word too many times by non-black people, and last year, I had a “friend” who tried to pull a MLK prank on me. He tried to deny it, but I believed his BS. I didn't mean to believe it, because I was being soft. Although I will talk to him face to face in the future.

If someone tries to be racist to you, stay away from that person or stand up for yourself and educate them. Our terrible president Donald Trump won't do anything, besides playing golf, talk about the travel ban, etc. That's why we need to team up and end racism without that clown.

Few days ago, I was talking to one of my coworkers, who is Caucasian, about racism in this country. He told me he’s been racially profiled by a lot of white people and police officers because he's bald and has tattoos on his right arm. They thought he was an Aryan. I felt bad for him. Also, racial profiling is one of the biggest problems in America right now. On the news, you see a lot of innocent black people get shot and killed by police officers, because of their race color. Or a Muslim guy getting kicked out of a Delta plane, because he was speaking in a different language. One of the passengers thought he was going to bomb the Delta plane, when really, he was just speaking to his mother. Not all white people are racists, not all black people are thugs, not all Spanish are drug dealers, not all Muslims are terrorists. Therefore, people need to stop racial profiling and treat others equally. That's all I have to say to all of my people.

Prayers go out to Lebron, his family and the people who are dealing with racism, including myself. I promise you that we will end racism in the future when we unite. Also, I want to share a video to my people:

And to all my friends who support Donald Trump and are racists:

I don't want to be friends with y'all anymore.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
