So I watched this Youtube video with a guy saying that if you are white person and living in America, then you can't say the n-word, but apparently, you can if you are black, due to the history of the word.
*in Madea voice* LEARN YOUR HISTORY!
1, The history of the word is truly awful, so why do you think you should be able to say. You think that as much as you hate it, you wouldn't want african american/black people saying the word to. But if it's okay for them to say it and not white people, that is technically racist according to the dictionary because you are discriminating against a race.
2, DO NOT tell me what I can and can not say. I do live in the United States of America, and i have the right to freedom of speech. I HAVE NO INTENTION OF SAYING THE WORD BECAUSE IT IS AWFUL. However, you should say, "you shouldn't" instead of "you can't"
3, Learn some history. I don't think Martin Luther King Jr. and Ruby Brides would say that word. I certainly hope they didn't. In Martin Luther King Jr's. speech, he said that he dreamed of equality between everyone and not to be judged by the color of their skin.
4, African american people are not the only people to be put in slavery. Guess what. White people were slaves to. The Greeks had slaves, the Romans had slaves, there were serfs (which weren't technically slaves, but similar in certain ways), and there was also Irish slaves. Another thing is that Africans had white slaves. YES, THEY DID. Barbary Coast in North Africa had slaves. Many Europeans were enslaved to them. I'm not saying African slavery wasn't bad. It was very bad. But not the only slavery
5, African Americans are not the only people to be victims of discrimination. There were the Indians/Native Americans, who were highly discriminated against. The jews, gypsies, and homosexuals of the holocaust. Also anybody else who was in slavery. Black people were also victims of the holocaust to, which is not good. I am certainly glad black people are not slaves and I hope that they do not have to go through discrimination anymore. I am just saying they are not the only ones.
6, A lot of black people say that their ancestors were slaves, but how do you know unless you study it. In the United States of America, it was the South that had the slaves. Also, not all of the United States of America had been completely claimed by the Americans yet.
7, You don't necessarily have to be black to be African. You can be white, Asian, Hispanic, Australian, etc.,. South Africa has a large white population due to it being colonized by Danish and English people. Today, it is part of the British commonwealth, like Canada and Australia and others.
No, I am not racist, and I do not have a problem with African american/black people. I am just saying that if we truly want equality, we have to understand our history, learn from our mistakes, and look at everyone as PEOPLE.
Now, on to other topics.
As you may know, I have been in Washington State and in some ways, it is similar to North Carolina, and other ways, different. I decided to compare the two
Washington vs. North Carolina
1, Area
Washington
71, 362 mi sq
North Carolina
53, 819 mi sq
Washington 1-North Carolina-0
2, Cities
Washington
Seattle
Seattle has this huge port, that's pretty hard to miss when you're going to into it. They have skyways, and tourist attractions, such as the Space Needle, the first Starbucks(which is just an ordinary Starbucks), Pike's Place Market, etc..
Seattle has sports venues such as Century Link Field, Key Arena, Safeco Field, Husky Stadium, King Dome, etc..
Seattle is the twentieth largest city in the United States of America by population, and one of the fastest growing American cities.
The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is the thirteenth busiest airport in the United States of America
North Carolina
Charlotte
Charlotte is the sevententh largest city in the United States of America by population
Charlotte in the countries second most important financial center with banking headquarters and other financial operations. It is more of a business city.
Sports venues include the the the Time Warner Cable Arena, the Bank of America Stadium, the Charlotte Motor Speedway, etc..
The Charlotte Douglas International Airport is the eighth busiest airport in the United States of America, and one of the busiest in the world.
Washongton-1-North Carolina-1
Climate
Washington
It's been really hot here this summer because they have had a drought but usually, it pretty cool.
North Carolina
In the Summer, it gets really hot, and in the Winter it gets really cold.
Washington-1-North Carolina-2
Geography
Washington has Mount Ranier which is a very large volcanoe, that you can get a good view of from Tacoma.
In Eastern Washington, there is desert like places.
In the west is beaches and multiple islands to but it's not resort type beaches.
North Carolina
In th west is the appalachain mountains, central North Carolina is the rolling hills, and the east is the coast.
Washington-1-North Carolina-3
Of course, this is just my opinion, and it doesn't have to be yours. Don't think I don't like Washington because I do love it.
Anyways, I really love the song Hallelujah. If you haven't heard I suggest listening to it, because it is really good. There are tons of different versions and covers by different celebrities, like Jeff Buckley, K.D. Lang, etc..
My favorite version might be K.D. Lang's. Hers was pretty good.
Also, the IOC will choose the host city for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games on July thirty first and I really hope Almaty Kazakhstan gets it, instead Beijing, China.
Also, the Pan American Games are on. They are being held in Toronto Canada. The Pan-American Games are like the olympics, but they are only between North and South American Countries. Each continent has their own games
Until Next time my fellow robots, with lots of smiley faces, goodbye.
