When we are not good enough!

If anybody could open up our hearts, what would they find? we have things packed up in some closet in our hearts that if opened they could be some landslide! the closet is so locked somewhere at the bottom of our hearts and the key holder as they say died long goes, so as long as the key cannot be found, those things, emotions, anger, love are locked up and forgotten! i dont know people who love to keep things like the likes of us all! why do we keep them? why would someone be soo angry with us and look at us and smile while the other person has no idea what they did! pls people, lets just grow up! If i wrong you just walk straight up and tell me, then al tell you why i wronged then we can agree to disagre, hug in tears proclaiming our love(gals!lol) or just make sure that spot we met will never grow nothing again! however we choose to resolve it just walk up and say how you feel! Talking about what we feel free's us from some kind of self imprisonment! Walking away makes us sad ...

And down in history it will go, that women did participate in the olympics and am soo glad it starts from here! I am glad our mothers fought for some things, but woe unto us, we are still fighting to liberate ourselves. To know that we can do something!...

Is it racism or ignorance!

Let’s start by examining the most basic definition of racism—the dictionary meaning. According to the American Heritage College Dictionary , racism has two meanings. Firstly, racism is, “The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.” Secondly, racism is, “Discrimination or prejudice based on race.” Ignorance is a state of being uninformed (lack of   knowledge ) The word ignorant is an adjective describing a person in the state of being unaware and is often used as an insult. Being a foreigner i can openly say i have encountered people who have subjected me and my friends to racism and some are simply ignorant! i have in some moments being so angry and left wondering what can be done? will it ever end? what generation will end this? and what type of education systems will help in this?. Have our education systems contributed to how we see things? Don't get me wrong, in here i talk a...
