It is only short because i wanted to upload a quick short one for my first time.
I'm not nervous to say the truth, i'm nervous to hear everyone's opinions back. You might disagree with what you are about to read but someone has to talk about this because if not me, then who? You? Racism is huge, and it used to just hide but it has gotten so big there are no more places for it to hide. Why let your child hide behind the curtain of lies built up by the news. You plug your ears up with the newspapers with the headlines reading ' thousands on surgery for perfect body' or some other ridiculous words along those lines. the news talks about game shows, TV shows and famous people and cooking and weather, but not the real world. You cannot sit there today, wherever you are and tell me you have never heard a racist comment. You cannot sit there today and tell me you have tried to stop it.

Racial profiling and the stereotypes of today are controlling our minds and the next generations minds. Terrorism, slavery, mental health, sexism, self harming, war, these are just some issues of this world we live on that don't get spoken of enough. Lets take technology for example.

Bright lights. Big news. A lot of emotion. Yet none of it is real. your 'wall' on Facebook is only the wall that keeps you locked up in your room staring at the bright lights of the social media. The 'big news' that everyone reads only to turn into their own twisted version, the twisted truth. No real issues of people's make up not going right, or buying the wrong size jeans. Having those 'bad days'. The real news, of people dying, crying and barely surviving. The emoji that express your emotion while you sit behind your phone with nothing but a slightly curved down lips, tired eyes and ears that could listen to anything anyone sent them. No real emotion shared. No real emotion at all. All of the 'I'm fines'. 'It's okays'. 'Got to goes'. Lead to you sitting on your PS, your laptop, your i pad, your phone, to feel nothing. In a world full of everything.

Underage girls being impregnated and people being raped. Slavery in many different countries, the question is, what are you going to do about it?
