Empower yourself and others with knowledge and compassion. Harassment just causes hate between opposing views.
A Debate of Imbalance
There is definitely still a huge imbalance as far as who is getting published and it saddens me that we still think that lighter skin is going to sell more. I am not sure that is actually true anymore. Either advertisers and publishers just think it is or consumers are still fairly racist.
I suppose my view of what I want(as a consumer and a reader) is different since my family is so mixed and I have always lived in racially mixed neighborhoods and made new friends each year that I had tons in common with, but were different skin shades, sexuality’s and beliefs. I forget that the world has been set up with so many prejudices until I go out into or read something out of my zone.

Act Now to Restore CASA Program Funding (by CASAforChildren)
I volunteered with CASA in San Diego years ago. It is a wonderful organization that teams up foster kids with court advocates who are also mentors and friends.This program is vital to showing foster kids that are stuck in the system that they can go on to lead productive lives and be accepted in society. CASA is about to lose all federal funding. Please check out this video and TAKE ACTION!
Trayvon Martin
Anger
Disbelief
Pain
Sorrow
Madness
Ridiculous
Outrage
A waste of life at seventeen. Fear and ignorance created a hate crime that did not have to be. Trayvon Martin taken away by George Zimmerman because his skin was too dark. Where is justice? Why are criminal charges not being set?

My heart goes out to his family and friends.

Politicians and Contradictions Are Like Peanut Butter and Jelly.
I do, I don’t, I will, I won’t, Yes, No….. This rampant contradiction is a major reason people are not interested in politics. There is no trust in politics when our leaders act this way. So many politicians say one thing and then destroy what they said by saying something completely different. Yes people are allowed to change thier mind, but not at this rate and not on such important issues.
For example, telling women they are second class citizens hurts men as well. We all suffer when some of us are oppressed. Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan is doing just this. By trying to make peace he is going down a road that will only cause more inequality, more violence, more unhappiness, more wars. It is time for our politicians to stick to what they promise and stop caving in to those who wish to oppress condemn and put down. We will not have peace until we can accept everyone as equal of love and respect.
