Race

In Ray Bradbury's famous novel, Fahrenheit 451, the citizens of a futuristic society are not allowed to speak their minds. In fact, they have a much worse problem: there is nothing on their minds to speak about. They don't even read books, because they are afraid of addressing new subjects and expanding their intellects.

They live under a self-imposed creed of censorship. In a way, I see our own society starting to walk down this same road, thanks to the doctrine of political correctness.  Read More »

Can someone tell me why there aren't enough people that are criticizing John McCain on his VP pick. I say this because it is the obvious thing to do for such an idiotic decision. And i mean crticize him for the real reason, which is that Sarah Palin has no idea what she's doing. It's obvious why McCain picked such an obscure person for his VP position-gender.  Read More »

I am currently enrolled in a psychology class at the college I attend. One of the requirements for the class is that we participate in six hours of psychological experiments that graduate students are doing.

The N-word is one of the most taboo words of the English language. The history alone is an indication of the hatred and negative connotations that surround the word. To use “nigger” in a positive manner only belittles the people whose past is haunted by the negativities of the word. Continued use of the word only stimulates racial injustice and keeps African Americans oppressed.  Read More »
