as a preface. i am sry to offend anyone in the upcoming matter but this just has to be said. at this point I really don't care who I offend because people have offended me and didn't care either, so why should I?
I am reading about slavery in my history class and I have learned to tolerate and accept the fact that what is done is done and there is nothing we can do about the past. Now i will say that we can change the future. There was a group of people in the mid-1800s talking about the reasons of why slavery was important and a necessity to the slaveholders. They made pamphlets, wrote essays, promoted the idea of slavery. These ideas were so rediculous I had to stop reading because I couldn't concentrate after a certain point while reading because I was just disappointed with their ideas of how blacks had to fit under this category because being of African descend was a default in your being and your presence. The proslavery propaganda's, as I put it, three arguements of why it should be allowed were these:
1) it is natural and proper status fro people of African descent. Blacks were inferior to whites and their only purpose was for slavery (hard labor).
2) slavery is sanctioned by the Bible and Christianity.
3) slavery is connected to the humanitarian spirit. Blacks are naturally dependent upon other people (whites).
okay. I seriously could not and cannot believe the generalization of these "reasons" of why slavery should be allowed. They acted like they had never seen anyone besides someone of African descent do hard labor and this just tells me that they were to lazy and too "priveleged" in their eyes, to do any work of their own. "slavery is sanctioned by the Bible and Christianity"???? really?? they take things wayyy too literally. I understand that St. Paul said to follow your masters but come on. How about master= GOD! these people used this arguement continuously to make their point. was there anything else within the Bible that could have been used?? obviously not since they kept repeating it over and over. dummies. And last but certainly not least, they said the slavery had to do with the humanitarian spirit. HOW in the HELL is that connected to the spirit of others???? Just so you know, buying someone and making them do hard labor for you without no pay, no justice along with the mistreatment, does NOT classify someone as being a humanitarian. I mean COME ON! Get your head out of your ass, stop thinking about yourself for once and understand that everything is not about you and your money//prosperity.
I truly don't get how people could just go along with this and let this history happen. I know that there were abolitionists but why did it take so long for it to come about. why is it that for a slave to take action, some whites finally realized it was okay to stand up for them. this is why I hate history because people were so ignorant and all about them, their land, and prosperity that they didn't "have the time" to take a look from a different perspective and realize that slaves are people too. People in general are stupid because history is cyclical. It ALWAYS repeats itself no matter the circumstances.
i thought this was appropriate.

shit i have to memorize by tomorrow {btw:: typing from memory}
o. that this too, too sullied flesh should melt
thaw and result itself into a dew
or that the everlasting had not fixed
his canon gainst self slaughter! o God, o God,
has how weary sale, flat, and unprofitable
seem to me all the uses of the world!
Fie 'n 't! ah, Fie. 'Tis an unweeded garden
that grows to seed. Thinks rank and gross in nature
possess it merely. For 't should come to this:
But 2 months dead--nay, not so much, not two.
So excellent a king, that it was to a
Hyperion to a satyr. so loving to my mother
that he would not beteen the winds of heaven and earth
to visit her too roughly.Heaven and earth,may must I remember?
why, she would hang on him
as if increase of appetite had grown from what it had fed on.
Within a month, let me not think 'f 't; frailty--thy name is woman.
a little month, or ere the shoes that were old
with which followed my poor fathers body
Like Niobe, all tears, why she, even she--
O God, if a beast wants discourse of reason
they would have mourned more--married my uncle, my father's brother
no more than my father than I to hercules.
Within a month, ere yet the salt of the most unrighteous eyes
had left the flushing in her galled eyes,
she married. O, most wicked speed, (to post
with suchdexterious dexterity to incestuous sheets!
In cannot, nor will not it is not, nor cannot come to any good
But break my heart, for I must hold my tongue.

cartoons under the knife.
seriously people have gone too far. this is the real article but i highly suggest that everyone goes here
thanks to bitch magazine i would have never even known about this new "transformation" of characters from the older generation made in the 80s. the corporate offices want to change up the look of the old characters aka strawberry shortcake that would attract the younger audiences. they are also doing this to keep a "nostalgic" feel to it for the parents since this day and age, they are protecting their children from racey dolls that portray a lot of sexuality. i agree with the fact that parents want to shield their kids from that because we, as a people are visual beings, we take the things we see in the media and unconciously mimic the same things without knowing what the deeper meaning of them truly is. seriously, if you wanted to attract the newer generation of kids just repackage the characters differently. there is no need to give them liposuction and sex them up by putting lipstick, eyeliner, and blush on a doll.
by doing these things, making the character skinnier and putting makeup on them, you are allowing for children to do these same kinds of things, they see them on the dolls and they have a desire to look like that too. you are also allowing the child to think that being skinny is the right thing or that being thick, volumptuous, whatever you wanna call the original strawberry shortcake is wrong and that is not the way to teach the children of the future. the present is already messed up as it is with 16 & 17 year olds getting breast implants when they are not even fully developed yet.
i must say that this is truly and utterly ridiculous.
