I just watched one of the most amazing movies...it's called freedom writers and it's a true story about an English teacher who started teaching at an integrated school in a classroom full of kids of different  races who hated anyone of a race different than their own (well there was there was one white kid who kinda got stuck in the class). Their lives were filled with gang violence.  Either they were in one or loved ones were killed because of it, but this one completely white English teacher was thrown into this world of hate and prejudice with the hope of making a difference.  Well i dont wanna destroy the whole movie by explaining it coz u have to see it yourself, but it rly affected me.  I'm first in line to tell racist jokes and even tho i never meant anything bad by them i realize now that i'm being so ignorant.  Those jokes mean more than i think they do and i finally took a long look at them and i dont wanna tell them anymore.  Also, I'm always saying when it comes to racism that whites get blamed for discrimination, and that we get discriminated against because somehow or another we get blamed for racism w/ everything we say.  But how is it going to help playing the blame game?  Someone has to make the first move in the fight for true integration so why not you or me?  Why can't we make the difference?  okay, i'm gonna get off my soap box but i was rly convicted tonight and i wanted to somehow get my thoughts out there.  I know that there's a good chance that just about nobody reads this but if there was ever an entry i wanted someone to read it would be this one.
