Let me just start with the Trayvon Martin murder and this controversial cartoon. I was in complete shock. How could this girl do this and get away with it?? The worst part is those who defend her and think she did nothing wrong. All of this angers me. But I guess some people that cant relate to it dont see how bad it really is. Hearing professor Gerstenblatt fear for her son, President Obama fear for his children, and Dr. Aguilar's mother fearing for him, just shows us how this case can really affect some of us. Now why is this girl going to draw something about this murder especially 1 month after the death of this child?? Not only his family but the majority of our country is hurting for this boy, it was just to early for all of that non sense. And honestly I dont think publishing this cartoon will ever be okay. Ugh can yall tell how angry I am???
Now the videos we saw Monday really bothered me too. I honestly did not know there was that much oppression against women. Like I told professor Gerstenblatt at first I was mad, but then decided that wasnt going to take me anywhere, so then i began to think of my future and my dreams of becoming a political representative and felt much better. I am outspoken and strongly believe in equality so I will make sure to address any comments made to me by those ignorant men. As for now I will continue do my part in my community and advocate as much as I can :) What a week! I truly love this class! Although it may bring some horrible feelings inside I am glad I am aware of all of this. I believe it is better to be upset than ignorant because only upset will I be able to do something about it :)
