Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Today is Wednesday, July 2nd, 2003 and this morning while I was listening to the radio (V-103) to be exact; there was an issue going on about people from Africa saying that black people were not cosidered or did not deserve to be called African Americans that we should be called Americans. Tihs really bothered me, I mean although I am a growning teenager, life and time are very intricate now these days. I just think that as people we are all equal as one.

Basically all I am saying is that we as people should not judge one another as what we should be called or what we have the right to be called. It's ludacris that people would even go there, I mean it was once said that "It is better to be prepared and not have an opportunity than it is to have an opportunity and not be prepared," now what I'm saying is that it's not a calamity to get to know a person for what's on the inside but it is a calamity to steriotype someone by just looking at them from the outside. As a forteen year old young lady, I would like to say that people today are sick, rude and some are even selfcentered. . . . . . Hard to believe that adults would be this way, you'd think it was only us teens but .. I guess not. Don't take it personal but when I refere to these names, all I mean is that some people both children and adults can be so unconsiderate. Now PLEASE don't get me wrong but it's true to the bone and it's not just here in Atlanta, Georgia but it's all over this world. With nothing more to say, I leave you with my grace. Open to all questions, comments, thoughts and/or concerns. . . I sit awaiting.
