You Know My Name. Not My Story.

Just as I have predicted, I'm neglecting my blogspot. I'm too busy on tumblr; but I know it'll only be temporary. As I know for a fact, my blogspot is my best friend.
Anyway, I just wanted to write a quick update.
I'm just kidding, I have to finish an essay before class today and I just came across a quote in the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, and I just thought I'd like to share it with everyone.
"I would sometimes say to them, I wished I could be as free as the would be when they got to be mean. 'You will be free as soon as you are twenty-one, but I am a slave for life! Have not I as good a right to be free as you have?"
This makes me so sad.
Even though this history has been done and over with, it makes me so sad to think of how people were judged based on skin color. In fact how it is still going on.
I learned in Sociology today that Harvard and Yale continue to do studies on racial differences and the saddest part is that, people continue to judge through race.
It makes me sad to think people are called white, black, green, red, blue, yellow, orange. We are not people of color.
I don't know.
I just thought I'd like to get that out.
