It’s Thursday Night Football season, meaning we get a bunch of bad football and colorful uniforms that may or may not make for a bad viewing experience. Not a lot of teams get their Color Rush uniforms done right — I’m looking at you, Jaguars, with your dijon mustard lookin’ threads. One team that does get it right, and has since Color Rush started, is the…
There are many different types of stoplights. The one i'm going to tell you about was patented by a man named Garrett Morgan. Morgan was born on March 4, 1877. He passed away on July 27,1963, but before he did, he patented the stoplight in Cleveland, Ohio. The patent was granted on November 20, 1923.…
Hey kiddies! How many of you whippersnappers have heard about Christopher Columbus? What's that? None of you?…
Aside from his plan to build a wall to separate Mexico from the United States, Donald has very few policies. Also, he is not the best role model for young children growing up in present day America. Throughout American history, the President has been a figure for American’s to look up to and aspire to be like. However, Donald Trump is marked as a person who “Insults women, spews profanity, is on his third wife, and calls anyone who disagrees with him a “loser.”’ (Source 6).…
Yeah, I'll never understand why these black actors keep taking these roles too. And then they justify it by insinuating they are being pro-black in the process. No just no. You are being pro-black by using your resources and creating something positive for the black community not taking a slave role that does nothing but reminds us of our oppressive era.…
In “The meaning of King Holiday” Dr. King’s wife, says that MLK day should be a day of service. “What she means by that is how can others others serve after graduating and entering the “adult” world?” Well like MLK he didn't know what to do with his life after graduating and yet after his lifetime all races have equal rights. I am not saying everyone within their lifetime will make that huge of a change in the world. Even doing the little stuff will help change the world in some sort of way.…
Good Morning Barbara: Nestldown came up when I was asking around for inspirational places for a staff retreat. Repeatedly, people mentioned attending exquisitely romantic weddings up in the Mountains. While looking at your website, I noticed your particular interest in offering the space to agencies benefiting “…disadvantaged or disabled individuals or those in crisis and transition. ” We are such an agency, therefore, I thought we might possibly make an excellent match.…
For my midterm speech, I plan to argue my stance on racism, more specifically how I believe some of the black culture may unintentionally perpetuate racial inequality. The solution I will propose to this solution is not making the assumption that all blacks want to be associated with these racial stereotypes. I also want to propose the idea that blacks are guilty for these social norms, as are other races. This solution will hopefully lead towards acceptance on all sides of the racial spectrum. I am very interested in this topic because I believe it is one of the biggest issues we face in our society today and is addressed through many different sources.…

Good Afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I am Paige Wacaster. Within our community we are very worried about what is going to happen if and when we integrate. At the negro school there are many negro teachers that could possibly lose their jobs due to integration. Once integration happens the negro school will lose students because they will be going to the white school. Considering that, there will be less students to teach at the negro school which means they won’t need as many teachers, and as a result of that the teachers will lose their jobs.…
Everyone in a democratic legislature should have the right to vote as is stated in the constitution yet not so long ago a very simple right to provide was not given. “Our Union is not yet perfect but we are getting closer”(President Barack Obama). All it took was one death in a small town in Alabama to completely spark the tinder for the voting rights act to be passed. “The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘we’”(President Barack Obama). This was a truly inspiring event plainly because thousands gathered both black and white for a long march (50 miles) and truly believed african americans should have the right to vote.…
After reviewing my persuasive speech over why the University of Oklahoma is the best university in the nation, I would sum up my speech as a little bit of train wreck. Although I made good claims with factual evidence, the amount of stuttering I did, and all the times I was choked up throughout the speech drew my audience’s attention away. From this, I lost my audience’s belief that I was competent of the information I was reiterating to them. At the introduction of my speech I believe I started out fairly strong and gave a good run down of the coming speech.…

When I was a little kid, my parents were poor. My mom was single and trying to raise three children while working two jobs, and my dad never paid child support. Since my mom couldn’t afford to pay rent, we moved around a lot. We lived in very low income parts of town, the ones where you’re scared for your life walking down the street. I saw people get judged every day in those neighborhoods.…
“Love doesn’t see the color of your skin, but through the pigments of your heart.” It is a scientific fact that love has no color. So why don’t people see it that way? For years, interracial love has been frowned upon. People see a couple of different racial backgrounds and immediately hate overrides.…
