The Waterscribe is back in business!!
Okay, my computer died. We're getting a replacement hard-drive, actually. =3 Oh, and me and Nanaki-kun sorted things out. *sweatdrop* Okay, I'll admit, I was a drama-queen about it, and I wasn't thinking things through. Luckly, his cousin and his friend snapped me back into reality. Thanks Regina-chan and Najee-chan. ^_^ You really helped me.
I guess I'm not as revolutionary as I thought...
I found out the reason why they didn't celebrate ethnic-American history months in my school. They didn't know how to go about it. I can't blame them for that...but that's just what they said. I have a lot of ideas I could bring to it, but at the same time, I think it might divide people...I've been having a lot of thoughts on racism. I feel most sorry for the ones that are mixed, you know? Tell me your thoughts on racism, you guys...
Stop wasting my time!!
I'm sure all of you are/were aware that last month was African/Black-American History month. What does this post have to do with last month? Well, I'll tell you.I asked my American History teacher, Mrs. Ingle why we didn't celebrate, or even recognize it, or any other ethnic holiday in our school in an e-mail over a weekend. She replied at school telling me she didn't know, though we do have and offer African American studies. She even devoted part of her lecture to my question, but I wasn't satisfied. So, I decided to ask my school principal, Mrs. Anderson, why we didn't. That was last month, people! LAST MONTH!! I know she has a ton of stuff to do as our principal, however, I've been waiting for a good, long time. I want an answer. NOW. As long as I've been at my high school, we have yet to see any celebration. Therefore, tomorrow morning, I'm going to see her. I want to know why she hasn't sent me a response yet, and I will report my findings to my family, friends, and this blog. I want my classmates, my enemies, and my friends to know their ancestor's histories. It's bad enough we have labels and stereotypes for ignorance and whatnot, and it seems they're inevitable. I want it for not just my school, but all the schools. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. If anyone so much as reads a word of this, please put a comment for this post. I want my fellow Americans to know much more than who invented the traffic signal rather than who won the BET title for best rapper of the year!! Therefore, I'm hoping to start some sort of group or organization to push for the recognition of ethnic history months in schools in America. If you can help me out, I'd be much abliged. Please. Help me. Someone famous once said that if we do not know our history, we are doomed to repeat it. Would anyone want a repeat of 9/11? Would anyone like a repeat of the Civil War, when we, America, as a country, are already at war?
