Forever 21

Alright so everyone is making a big deal about Forever 21. You know what people do have the right to be mad.  However, I am surprised that people are barely seeing that Forever 21 is not a good company.  They are the worst company for employment.  They do not give their employees decent hours nor do they see them as beneficial to the company.  Furthermore, Forever 21 is able to sell their clothing so cheap because they pay their employees crap.  I had a co-worker that used to work there and she hated it.  She saw many people quit that place in less than six months and she herself only lasted there eight months before she got another job.  

I have never shopped at Forever 21 and I will never shop there.  If they cannot treat their employees right then they do not deserve my money.  I know that I am one insignificant human being not paying into that store, but I will stand up against them. 

Why Does Everything Have to Involve Race in America?

This question is my topic for this blog and I am going to try to provide some answers for it in a simple way.

  

1. We live in America that identifies people by race -- We have to learn to not say I am black, I am white, I am brown.  We need to change that because then maybe less people will turn it into a race issue
2. Americans can turn a simple issue into a race issue--I love this one because the race card gets so easily pulled out.  We can turn just about anything into a race issue if it involves two people of different colors.  Except most of the time the real issue was never about the color of your skin.  There was a Democrat, I forget his name, he decided to rail against Conddoleezza Rice because she is a black Republican.  You choose your party not based on the color of your skin, you choose a party that is most aligned with your values.  That is not a race issue.
3. Once again we live in America that has an issue of racism--like most nations they have all had this problem.  We Americans forget that this was recent past and we are still trying to get over it and make sure everything is equal.  This process takes time and it will continue to take time. Membership of the Ku KLux Klan is a perfect indicator things are changing and people are becoming more accepting.  They will soon be of no influence at all in the future. 
4. Once again America asks us to identify by race rather then just being American---This is a very important reason why we cannot get over the race problem because they still expect us to identify by color.  When
5.  in truth we are all Americans.  We may have different ethnic backgrounds, different traditions, and different cultures, but we are all Americans.

Personally, I do not care about the color of anyone's skin because I believe that we are all Americans.  However, we need to start changing the way we think.  Furthermore, change does not occur right away, but it takes time.  President Obama he knows that change does not occur right away and he knows that it is going to take time.  Furthermore, when they pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964, I am pretty sure they knew they were still going to hear cases of discrimination because people do not change overnight. 

Lastly, I am pretty sure you know why I am posting this on this day.  Well, its because I saw many posts on this Zimmerman case.  Here is my opinion, not taking race into account here.  The state of Florida failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt he committed murder.  Florida prosecutors failed to prove their case and that is the problem.  It is not the justice system, it was the state of Florida.

People say a black man has no justice, but I do know of several cases where a black man was acquitted of all his charges.  I have a friend that was acquitted.

Nanny State: People Predicted this Would Happen

http://www.ijreview.com/2012/06/7550-18-crazy-examples-america-is-turning-into-a-nanny-state/

America the Nanny State Welcomes You.  We get to tell you what to eat, how to dress, how to spend your money, and get to control your personal life.  That is how America is turning out to be and I am not surprised at all.  Political Scientists have predicted that this would happen.  This all began with The Great Depression when states and the American people really needed the help of the federal government.  However, the states are getting a bit out of control with the the whole lets control what every American does in their lives.  The government makes its seem like they do not have bigger problems then telling someone to not feed the homeless and have a special team come into people's homes to get expired milk.  

Why does the government not focus on improving the school systems rather than worrying about what a kid brings to school for lunch, in which that is the parents right to pack whatever the heck they want into their child's lunch. You are so worried about Americans having Bible Studies in their own homes that you forget to tell teachers and leaders to stress moral values to bring down the crime rates.  

Minnesota is worried about muddy vehicles when they should continue to stress the extreme importance of not driving while intoxicated and drive the correct way.  

Finally, the government is so worried about what the heck we say on the internet because it protects us.  I understand that you want to keep us safe, but we have the right to say what we want and when we want as long as it does not incite violence or is hate speech.  

Word to the government, which you are likely viewing this.  Read up on the Constitution and look at the ways that you are violating it.  The 14 Amendment made the Bill of Rights applicable in any state and you clearly violate them on a daily basis. Read the Founding Fathers books, letters and articles to understand how they wanted America to be.  Many may think they are already in ashes and this is modern America, however they valued our liberty and happiness more than anything.  They fought a revolution so that we can say what we want and go as high as we want to in this country and my government is not going to prevent me from going as high as I want to g.  I think that government is necessary and I am thankful that the government has helped me to get through my life and what not, but there is such a thing as too much government interference.

I thank the Founding Fathers for giving me the freedom to say what I want and do what I want as long as I do not hurt others.  I feel that government is necessary.  On the other hand, I am American and I will fight to protect my liberty and be able to keep my individuality.  

THE FIVE THINGS AMERICA IS BUILT ON

1. INDIVIDUALISM
2. CIVIC DUTY: LOOK AT STATISTICS WE DONATE MORE MONEY AS INDIVIDUALS
3. POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY
4. LIBERTY 
5. EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY:  

wow Now Feminist Arguing for Gender Equality in Children Stories

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/05/06/study-suggests-winnie-pooh-isnt-gender-equal-does-matter/#content


So I am reading this article thinking how ridiculous this journalist is for arguing that women should have a more equal amount of characters in children stories. Wow what is this world coming to? We are never going to achieve perfect equality till the Lord comes nor do I care about gender equality so much. I am happy for the feminist movement back in the day because now I can vote and have more opportunities.

There is no way that I am going to cry over the fact that women get paid less or that women are less represented in children books. Also when I do have children there is no way that I am going to censor my children from children stories just because they are less equal. Get over it!
