For the first time in my life I have faith in this country. You can say what you want but I never thought I would ever see the day. I never thought in my life time that a person of color could be president. I lost my faith in this country a long time ago. The riots in LA when I was 9 years old I realized that shit was different. I seen the divide in us all.
This year has been the most trying year of my entire life. I lost allot this year, but I gained faith & hope that we all can make this country a better place. A place were the principles of this country would apply to EVERYONE! This isn't about race, creed, color, or social status. This is about we as a people getting together and looking past this superficiality that dictates our everyday lives.
He is a symbol of Hope, Determination, & Leadership. Words cannot describe how I feel right now.
I am crying my big ass off and I cannot stop.
I have dreamed a dream.

I have officially been accepted into the Los Angeles Film school. Ya boy's happy. When I begin making my student films I'm gonna post them on my Youtube page.

Well it is another b-day.
Another year has passed.
And I am at another turning point in my life.
The year that passed has been a test that I'll never 4-get.

On the Forum the topic came up about the new Resident Evil game and its setting in Africa.
Basically the village people become monsters and attack Chris Redfield (main protagonist and White man).

This is my response to the topic. I felt people just need to understand how I feel about the race relations and my view on people not addressing this topic. You can't sweep it under a carpet.

"I agree with you. But alot of people (mostly white people) don't see why people of African descent are upset with White people/America & the potrayal that people of color have gotten over the years. I do believe that people are way to sensitive now-a-days, and some shit is blown outta proportion. You have to understand that when you have hundreds of years of rascism and hatred against you that it changes your perception on things. Things are not gonna change just because there has been improvement in the past 40 years. People were still getting belittled and berated. Until people understand what alot of people of color go through or have been through, then you can't put it off as "Oh thats bullshit".

Growing up you are told that Cops are here to protect & serve? Well in the Black community its the opposite. Why is that you ask? We have experienced things that alot of white people haven't. As well as the otherway around. Majority of White people haven't experienced being pulled over and hand cuffed for nothing just because you are in "Good nieghborhood". Or you look suspicious. Sad to say, I know this first hand. People fear what they don't know or understand. It makes people the way they are. To overcome this we have to be able to put ourselves in the shoes of the person we don't understand. There are alot of diffrences between the diffrent religions, races, & cultures that people don't understand. Environment, social status, and economics have a big part to play in this factor. I see that alot of White people take offense to the thought of being rascist.
As well they should, I don't believe that a whole race of people are rascist. And alot of people in our generation have no ties and are not the descendents of slave owners. But in the same note, White people have their preconceived notions about people of color and the black race.

Certain steriotypes that they have heard or seen on TV, play on people's psyche. Same goes for people of color. People can't say they don't see race or color, until they get rid of these vices and really truly embrace their fellow man for who he is.
In conclusion, I say this. Even though we don't have the same background. Experienced the same things. Or Lived in the same environment. I accept everyone for who they are. You give me respect, I will return it in kind.
People are people. If you can look past the pigmentation and afro, I am not trippin'."

Never has a show touched so close on reality. Not even "Reality" shows deal in reality.
This fuckin show hit so close to home it was ridiculous. What the show did is allude to the way the world works. There really aren't any "bad guys", but people who are stuggling with living in poverty.
The show made you cry, curse the fucking TV, laugh uncontrollably, and make your mouth hit the fuckin floor. It never got the recognition it deserved. The stories were so much more complex than any other show on tv (even the Sopranos). There were over 100 characters in the show and you could relate to every last one of them. Hopefully the cast can get placed in positions because of this and get the recognition they truly deserve.

R.I.P. To the greatest TV Drama Ever made.
