Tomi Lahren Vs. Queen B

It seems like every time you log on Facebook, there's a new rant clogging up your newsfeed. Whether it be Starbucks and their Christian-hating red cups or Cam Newton not properly standing during the national anthem, the internet is always pissed off. Suddenly everyone feels the need to embrace their right to freedom of speech and surely enough, it's World War 3 in the comments section.

I don't usually pay much attention to the idiocy of internet rants but after Tomi Lahren's latest rant that went viral on TheBlaze.Com, I felt personally inclined to set the record straight. The blonde bombshell reporter called attention to Queen B's halftime performance at this year's Super Bowl, saying she used the event to publicize the notion #BlackLivesMatter. While Beyonce and The Black Panthers' intentions may have been more than just to put on a jaw-dropping performance, my problem isn't with them.

Tomi Lahren took it upon herself to stand for all things colored white in what she referred to as, "The battle of the races." She hits multiple points in her broadcast that really just didn't seem to make too much sense to me. For instance, she asked, "Why be a cultural leader, when you can play the victim?" I found it to be pretty hypocritical considering that's exactly what Lahren did.

If you were ever wondering why this "black lives versus white lives" cycle seems to never end, it is because of people like Tomi Lahren who think the solution is in retaliation, not peaceful resolution. Just like she accused Beyonce, she uses her good looks, big words and even bigger Internet audience to push the notion #WhiteLivesMatterToo. It is not to say that one is right and the other is wrong because ultimately they are both wrong.

The answer to this problem isn't by saying, "Your husband was a drug dealer. For 14 years, he sold crack cocaine…… It starts at home." All that did was fire up black activists, create another endless Internet rant and set the entire human race five steps back.

If you want to be a part of a movement, be a part of #AllLivesMatter because that is the ultimate truth. Going back and forth slinging insults only further worsens the issue; in order to find peace, we must start within ourselves. So on behalf of white people everywhere, we love you, Beyonce, and we hope you love us, too.

As for Tomi Lahren: "She did it to get attention. Congratulations, you made headlines." Her words, not mine.

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.
