*This picture is of Ludacris from the concert!!!*Race is such a tricky subject to deal with, this is now my third attempt at starting a blog on race because honestly I don't want to offend anyone. Everyone gets so testy when it comes to race, on statement and you're a racist. And really no one wants to be racist, but seriously everyone is a little (yes my heart started to race a little when I typed that). It's not their fault, it's just the society that we're all brought up in, you are taught to be a little weary around african- americans and totally comfortable around whites, although I'm sure whites are just as equally as likely to jump you and anyone else from another race. But the thing is, although people tip-toe around the subject of race, they really don't have much of an impact or are really doing it in the right way, everyone keeps categorizing the other. For example, I recently went to a Ludacris concert (he was in Crash which on a side note was AMAZING!!!!). Between one of his songs he randomly yelled "Where my white people at?" at which the white people went crazyy yelling, the other people of different races just kind of stood there. He then yelled "Where my black people at?" to which the black people went crazy, every other race just kind of stood there. First off there are two problems- what about the other races anddd why do we have to be categorized like that why not "Where all my fans at?" I mean that would be so much better. We've come a long way in equalizing this country with race, but we still have a long way to go.
