Serena Williams has the ultimate physique & natural beauty. Her prowess on the tennis court has made her into a world-renowned tennis phenomenon! I really admire her because she exhibits such strength & grace at the same time. Serena Williams has added to her list of great qualities by demonstrating her willingness to help others. She has helped fund & open a school in Kenya. Read more about her humanitarian efforts by going here: http://en.afrik.com/article14879.html
In a previous posting, I talked about how racism was a learned behavior. Now, I think my point has been emphasized through the actions of some people around this country. Apparently, their is a lot of anger & outrage still lingering from the election of Barack Obama. There are violent acts being committed & even little children are making racist comments. For those who tried to act like blacks just make this shit up, here's a link to the article which is entitled "Elections spurs "hundreds" of race threats,crimes (http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20081115/Obama.Racial/)
If you've ever gone to college & done any research, you know that statistics are to be taken with a grain of salt. I watched Fox for about an hour because they had an announcer saying "Blacks vote against Propositon 8! Is this the start of the culture wars?" First of all, Fox News could care less about gay rights. I mean, they bash San Francisco every chance they get!This is a obvious ploy to continue the culture war they've been engaged in since I've been watching them. I hope people realize that all racial groups helped Proposition 8 pass. And excuse me, but aren't there black gays? Did they vote against themselves? Stop using phony unreliable statistics to create division in America.
Another thing that I wish people would really stop doing is comparing the civil rights movement to the fight for gay rights. Being black is the same as being white,yellow,brown,etc... So,use all of these other examples to assert that people should have the same rights whether you are gay or straight. Being gay & black are two separate issues. You can be a gay white person & hate blacks! I have seen & dealt with a lot of racist homosexuals who would never dream of sleeping with a black person. They never felt that they were the same as blacks. Why is it that blacks should identify with being gay if they are not? Women have been denied equal rights as well. How many women voted to yes on Proposition 8? I just don't understand why this is being made into an issue by Fox.I support the right for a person,gay or straight,to be happy.Hopefully,California will find a way to make everyone happy. Elton John suggested that using the word "marriage" may be why Prop. 8 passed. He believes that it could be a easily won battle if it was called a "civil partnership" instead.
