    How do you feel about people sitting or kneeling during the national anthem? Just so you understand what I am talking about, this all started when Colin Kapernick took a knee during the presentation of the national anthem. His reason behind his actions was that he felt no need to support a country who oppresses African Americans and other minorities. As Americans it is our duty to respect our country and those who fight for it. It is a dishonor for anyone to enjoy the freedom as an American, but…

    It Can Only Get Better From Here On April 14, 2017, 1,503 people died due to one tragic accident and authors made thousands of dollar by writing about it. This accident happened when the Titanic crashed into an iceberg. Deborah Hopkinson was one of those authors. She wrote the book Titanic Voices From the Disaster, but it wasn’t very fascinating. It would’ve been better if she included more details about the lifeboats. She also could’ve said more about how cold the water was when the Titanic…

    Many people believe the Titanic was sunk by an iceberg, however; the iceberg was really only part of the problem. Ignorance is the other reason for the sinking of the Titanic.

    4. In this segment titled, The Redskins’ Name- Catching Racism, by former The Daily Show host Jon Stewart, the name of the Washington D.C.
