In this time, white people were super against the blacks that even polices and the people that are supposed to protect people from getting hurt were taking sides and being unfair. The tension started to rise when World War I ended in the late 1918s. At this time African Americans were migrating from the South to the cities in the North. When the war ended thousands of servicemen had arrived to see that warehouses and mills had been full of African Americans, because of this the white people…

Sunday brought some limes and lemons to my life so Monday I went and had a margarita at the Jalapeno Tree. Before we left, I didn't know where I was going because I left the planning up to my friend. To my delight she wanted Mexican food so to Longview, TX we went. The Jalapeno Tree is a chain "Mexican" (it's more Tex-Mex) restaurant with about 15 locations in East Texas.

The YellowJackets (9-13, 6-7 ASC) had forced a desperation 3-point attempt by Dylan Augustine with the shot clock winding down before an alert Mitchell came in from the perimeter for the game-winning, put-back attempt with seven seconds to go. LeTourneau called a timeout and looked to set up a play to send the contest overtime. However,…

Critics of Bernie have struggled to classify the movie, and viewers would certainly attest to this statement. The movie is placed in the satire genre, but this does not seem necessarily complete. The film is well made and the level that it grips the watcher is almost disturbing. Although the film begins with an unusual opening of a jolly and flamboyant mortician conducting a procedure on a corpse for a guest lecture, Bernie morphs into a dark irony. As he prepares the dead for burial, he…

The LP is known as the main aspiration for many of the punk bands known today and is also known for its “challenge of convention” (D'angelo “How Green Day's Dookie Fertilized A Punk-Rock Revival”). Songs like Longview did not care about what society thought was acceptable in music.
