The Blaze's Tomi Lahren, America's white, conservative, opinion-filled sweetheart, decided she would share her final thoughts on the recent act of Colin Kaepernick. The 49ers quarterback refused to stand during the National Anthem as a protest against racial oppression. When later interviewed about it, he said, "I am not looking for approval. I have to stand up for people that are oppressed...If they take football away, my endorsements from me, I know that I stood up for what is right." Tomi decided that this was absolutely unacceptable and proceeded to "shred" Kaepernick for the whole country to see.

Let's discuss a couple of ways in which Tomi responded. First, the passive aggressive, sarcasm-lined tone of voice she used when stating things such as, "He will not stand to show pride in a flag or a country that oppresses black people," and, "After all, according to Kaepernick, there are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder." Second, the very grave and condescending tone of voice that she took on when saying, "Colin, how dare you sit there and blame white people for the problems of minority communities. After all, aren't you half white," "Please tell me how you're oppressed," and, "When will those in black communities take a step back and take some responsi-damn-bility for the problems of black communities, because it seems to me blaming white people for all of your problems might make you the racist."

Apparently, I missed the point at which minorities became the cause of their own oppression. I suppose while I had my head in the clouds I also neglected to realize that reverse racism is a completely valid concept. I'll throw in the fact that just because someone is only half of a minority, the colored side of them doesn't really count. Therefore, they can't speak out against racial oppression either.

How would you know a single thing about this man's oppression and what would make you feel so entitled as to assume he has never experienced any? What gives you the right to slander his birth parents and claim that he can't stick up for a half of his ancestry? Please tell me also, Tomi, why it's so horrific for whites to speak out against racism? Maybe you should take a look in your fourth grade history book at the topic of slavery and perhaps the Civil Rights Movement since you are so obviously blind to the world beyond your pampered, privileged opinions.

Our flag represents a country in which people like you abuse their right to freedom of speech. It is because of this misuse that we must continue to witness wrongdoings towards people of color. We have so much freedom in this country; we live the supposed "American dream." Despite the great opportunities and progression we have been graced with, we still do not know how to respect this great freedom that we have been given. We continually accept the indecency of human nature and therefore lose reason to celebrate our flag and the values that our country was meant to uphold.

It's time to wake up and smell the pot of prejudice and supremacy that you have been helping brew every morning, Tomi. You are the problem that Kaepernick is speaking out against. You are the textbook definition of white privilege. If you were listed in the Webster, words such as ignorant, inhumane, uncompassionate, and toxic would be printed directly below. You continue to make me livid with your words of supremacist destruction.

I am so sorry that someone in your life never educated you on the values of compassion and acceptance. I can't imagine what it's like to have a reputation built on hate and intolerance, but I hope that one day you'll be able to turn over a new leaf. Maybe at some point you'll be able to see the world for what it really is and won't parade around making absurd, incorrect, invalid notions about the social issues of the world.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
