Dear Members of the Notre Dame Community,
It is with regret that we write to inform you of two deplorable incidents of racial harassment in recent days. Within a span of a week, fried chicken parts were placed in the mailboxes of the Black Students Association and the African Students Association in LaFortune Student Center. These acts of harassment are a clear violation of University policy,...
i use to think like…
its ok that people at ND are different than me (I’m use to different):
that they don’t know stevie wonder songs
or are hardcore republican
or think rick perry is correct
or think bill oreilly isn’t racist, or at least insensitive
who don’t think race is a problem
who think childish gambino is the second coming
think Homosexuality is...
drink
i think i have decided, that I’m not gonna “go out” on weekends anymore…not that i have done that a lot, just not going to in the future…thats why I’m bloggin right now
i’m only gonna drink casually….like wednesday or thursday nights, kinda like depression drinking, but in a good way
this will probably change once i get this music off my...
rap
rap has to be the highest form of musical expression.
i mean like, hiphop verses, can be masterful poetry if the rapper tried
and because now rap and singing go hand in hand in a lot of hiphop… like a song can move you lyrically and melodically.
hiphop background music can be enticing and grand,
so those that say instrumental music is the most expressive, what if you rapped over the...
my morale is soooooo low
goshhhhhhhh
pam oliver
she isssss lol… crazy
she was at this discussion thing here. and she looks like she could bite someones head off.
it was funny. she tore apart this white dude asking a question… damn
and then Earl Smith. i write it so ill remember, cuz he was awesome, and he could tear someone apart too.
loved playing with fire
(continued)
its not about siding with the villain or anything, its about looking at both sides and understanding.
we should think more like sociologists than opinionated critics
take it out of proportion- Mayweather, Kanye West
What Floyd Mayweather is definitely taken out of proportion.
of course he’s not completely accurate,
but i think its fair to say that Jeremy Lin’s race is nearly as important as his surprising play
He is getting super heavy attention, and a very large part is his race….. yes he broke records and all that… but i know I’m saying to myself, omg he’s...
gospel music makes me so happy
melodies from heaven- kirk franklin
i really love you - norman hutchins
i love it when i can bump to my own songs
can’t wait to show everyone
in other news… notre dame won its b-ball game today…. 5 game winning streak :):)

Friday night lights (TV show) racist?
I was watching an episode of this show from the first season
Context:
the starting QB for the team got injured so the next in line guy had to step up. He was very hard working for that week, respectful, everything. white
but a guy named voodoo tatum just joined the school cuz he lost his home to katrina. He was black, dark as the midnight hour. he was rude to the coach, didn’t give a...
Kevin: is it ____ed up? →
maybe one day ill mature to be more accepting of my identity and cultures,
but maybe it’l be too late.
all i know is, 2nd, 3rd gen asians in america, many don’t know chinese
say, in the next 50 years, immigration slows down… and the group we have in america is the group we have….then i would suggest, that generations down the road, my grandgrandgrandgrandgrand kids will...
is it ____ed up?
I guess all my life i hated when people said i was so “asian” since i wanted to be an individual… that i purposely tried to stray away from it, trying to brush off stereotypes, but at the same time brushing off the Asian traditions my parents hold, accidentally.
America is such a cute little country, and ppl say like… oh its no longer a melting pot, people are having pride...
Patriots will win the superbowl
and the reason why is….
because…..
the Mavericks won the NBA champion after losing in 2006,
DIRECT PARALLEL TO THE SUPERBOWL STORy,
Pats lost 2007, it all makes perfect sense
Should vegetarians eat animal crackers?
if you took an oriental person, and spun him around several times, would he be disoriented?

omgg.
bout to go back
bout to do this again
winter break is definitely too long, when i have weird feelings about going back to school.
precious
theres a paragraph in this book I’m reading called disintegration by Eugene Robinson
its about black america, and he was talking about the movie precious:
” But still: What is it with the idea that black plus poor equals not just privation, not just dysfunctional, but a pattern of behavior that can only be described as subhuman? What is it that audiences find so compelling about the...
crazy how time goes by
i remember the summer before high school, i was at Duke tip, at davidson, and after the three weeks, i cried pretty hard when i left, like my life had ended, and that was just a three week camp. after that, i realized that time just goes by, and that i needed to cherish all my moments, and how glad i was to be young, and full of potential
and didn’t really feel much before i went to the...
weareallforever:
is that what really happened to him?
oh goshh
but i guess...
i guess thats the way for all “races”
like for asians
Asians born in America don’t really connect as well to asian immigrants, and are really separate groups of people.
i guess it all comes down to what circumstances you grew up in.
I didn’t grow up with asian friends around me 24/7, so i have a hard time with asians
an immigrant child from Africa could grow up around...
just an asian-outsider thought
i think its interesting how “black” doesn’t really mean much anymore
cuz theres like… different types of black.
theres those who still are in inner cities struggling everyday, a pretty large group
those who are middle class, integrated with everybody
oprah, michael jordan, tiger woods
and then the immigrants, which by the way…. African immigrants are the highest...
super late
but I’m walkin!
did you know theres something called
black disease
noun: a disease of the liver (especially in sheep and cattle) caused by liver flukes and their by-products
wow lol
would it be important to preserve a tradition, that was created because of negative circumstances, but was positive itself?
justin bieber
he was on the ellen show and he went to this elementary school that teaches all these homeless kids
and he gave the school 100,000$ and had a truck of 100,000$ worth of toys for the kids.
and he sang for them, and chilled with them for a day
is it cool to hate on a kid that does great things for music and the world
that has vocal talent- the last like 5 times I’ve seen him, he’s...
and they told me that ends
won’t justify the means

No one wants to apply to notre dame
no one from ncssm wants to apply to notre dame, or at least the like 5 i talk to
but i assume no one does cuz when i applied, there were only like 2 of us who were thinking about it.
and I’m like WTF
cuz like (for asians) if you think about it, Notre Dame fulfills what your parents want.
all these asians apply to like, all the ivies, MIT, CALTEch, uchicago, duke… and then UNC...
lauryn hill
I was listening to Lauryn Hill, and I realized, the reason why her album is timeless, is because it is straight from the heart.
idk anyone else who makes themselves that vulnerable through their music

black friday
i heard some ho peppered spray other hoes just to get some 2$ waffle makers at walmart
the occupy shit is right
consumerism
most things on sale were luxury items, we don’t need no waffle makers, or TVs
its slavery- prices, tv ads, dumb incentives that drive us to purchase what we don’t need.
they make us do whatever they want us to do
lets calm down
i was at juvie the other day
and this hispanic kid, who was like 17..
he was in there for like 6 months, left for 2 weeks, was back in that bitch for another 6 months
he couldn’t read

what he was saying
about christmas: “man i hope we get some colorin books, imma be up in here for a minute”
“man if i end up in county jail, imma stab anybody that look at me”...
Georgia
apparently in Georgia
the white people are above the national average for white people in education
the black people are above the national average for black people in edu
same for hispanics, asians, etc….
but the state is 49th in education
figure it out.
childish gambino
Gambino frustrates me so much
first of all, imma just put it out there, i love gambino, he’s sick, he’s good, he’s probably revolutionary… w/e
what pisses me off, is how he is fucking„ revered….. specifically, by white people
everyone is saying how, gambino is smarter than most rappers, and how brilliant he is,
but he’s not… he’s just...
