Racism - Still Strong in the USA?

There one was a time when we lived in segregation, people of different races were not allowed to be around or "mix" with different races. In 1967 the United States Supreme Court passed a law allowing interracial marriage. Well someone forgot to mention that to Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Louisiana. He refused to marry Beth Humphrey (white), 30, and her boyfriend, Terence McKay (black), 32, both of Hammond. It makes me really sad that I just had to put the races of those two people in parenthesis, but it's important to the story.

Oh but Bardwell, is totally not a racist. At least that's what he claims. "I have lots of black friends. I do ceremonies for black couples right here in my house. My main concern is for the children." His view on the matter is that children that are a result of an interracial marriage have problems, and he doesn't want to be a part of that. Maybe someone should tell him that multiracial Americans make up 6.8 million of the population (in 2000).

Civil rights activists are calling him to resign, since he can't seem to complete on of the duties assigned to him as his role of justice of the peace.

The Force is Strong with this One!

Too epic not to share..

Also I shall be back in action very soon. I am feeling inspired to put my heart and soul back into this blog! STAY TUNED!

Rest in peace Senator Edward Kennedy. He died late Tuesday night in his home in Massachusetts. He passed away after a long battle with brain cancer.

He will be missed by many, he was a beloved Democrat. President Obama says we have lost the greatest U.S. Senator of our time.

Beyond Insane

I have written before about the show "Megan wants a Millionaire." Well I was going to write a blog about how one of the guys on the show, Ryan Jenkins was being accused of murdering his wife. Well now I guess it is safe to say he was guilty, because Ryan Jenkins hung himself and was found dead last night. He was found in a Canadian Hotel, he was on the run and hiding in Canada. He was being accused of strangling his wife Jasmine Fiore.

I remember the first episode of Megan wants a Millionaire. He told her he was looking for a wife so he could get a green card, and that if they got married he wouldn't make her sign a prenuptial. VH1 had decided to postpone future airings of the show and made this statement, "Ryan Jenkins was a contestant on Megan Wants A Millionaire, an outside production, produced and owned by 51 Minds, that is licensed to VH1. The show completed production at the end of March. Given the unfortunate circumstances, VH1 has postponed any future airings. This is a tragic situation and our thoughts go out to the victim’s family."

I REFUSE to believe this

An author plans to sue Twilight series author Stephenie Meyer, saying that her last book Breaking Dawn, which came out in 2008, is plagiarized. Author Jordan Scott is accusing her of plagiarism saying she lifted passages from an obscure book she wrote called “The Nocturne” Nothing is copied word for word, but Scott says a few important scenes were taken out of her book.

I think this Jordan Scott just was trying to find a way to get a bunch of Twilight fans to check out her book! I doubt that Stephenie Meyer has even ever heard of her lame book. Especially because of this statement that made me crack up, "I think the fans have to read both books and make up their own mind, like a judge is going to have to," Williams said.
