Names Will Never Hurt Me

racial criticize effects more

people physically then emotionally.




Getting to know a person beyond there color.


Martin Luther King Jr. , Charles j. Ogletree , Frederick L. Downing , Linda K. Fuller , Nancy C. Curtis and Octavia Vivian . All helped to stop racial segregation such as eating in a restaurant, drinking from a water fountain, using a rest room, attending school, going to the movies, or in the rental or purchase of a home.



Names Will Never Hurt Me .....Theirs a girl named Tisha Reznick people call her WHITE - AFRO. She says she's not black , not really white either she says " I'M BI-RACIAL "
Both sides make me strong and both sides make me happy . " Theirs another girl in the school her name is Daphne Smart she's mixed too , but she says she's black like she can just erase the other half of her i think not! Tisha just don't fit in. and Kids at her school say shes a white girl with a tan that never fades away! Tammy , at her school wants to know what group she's in the black side or white side . Both sides want her to choose , but both sides REALLY don't want her. Its like everyone at her school lives in a box - be like a pair of socks matching black or white , but not mix - matching . Everyone talks about multicultural sounds good on paper, and on the news , but in this school those are just words got no meaning here. Tisha feels left out not really knowing where she fits in , but she knows where she comes from both side of he family. She's unsure what people think of her not even sure people like her at all just because she's "BI-RACIAL ".

Today , racial segregation isn't a really big deal like it was in the later day , but in schools today most people don't have a problem , but some people still are in groups not really on purpose just all who we hang out with. People sit with who they want talk to anyone with out any racist comments .We all have are Friends because we like who they are and not by their skin .

This is a really good post. I do have one question though. If people were in a box and wanted to match then what does it accomplish?
