This might come off a bit far-fetched, but I have to rant on this. Especially in light of what the Oscar films (which shouldn't have an influence at all) have brought to the huge table that is race and culture. You'll notice that I'm obsessed with social and racial issues, absolutely and completely obsessed. Not obsessed with the notions of it all, but obsessed with trying to persuade other people's mentality to what they're told is off limits, trying to get them involved. People forget the perks of living in a free country... you actually can make a difference. Forget patriotism.
The state of society right now - if you step back and look at the entire picture, you see that every problem is linked with another. The view society has of "adoption" is linked with post-racism, post-racism is linked with politics, politics is linked with culture. And it goes around and around again.
I watch CNN or BBC and realize the majority of the anchors whom are there to provide the full story, know very little about so many truths. It sounds so pathetic but I sit here in my jeans and World Cup t-shirt fiercely correcting them on inaccuracies and truths that much of society already knows. My point? A sturdy desk, pedestal, TV graphics, degrees or microphones do not make you smart, they make you lucky.
I wish some people, including myself, would gain the courage to take our talents and truths and use them for the benefit of those who need a voice the most; and others would just... sit the hell down. Especially those with brain capacities of birds.
