Thanksgiving and Black Friday

Thanksgiving, Holiday or International Genocide Day?

Black Friday, Good Sales or buy nothing day?

As Thanksgiving came around the corner again, people flooded into supermarkets to buy supplies for thankgiving dinner and spent tones of money to make it happen. The history behind thanksgiving doesnt make this holiday seam so joyfull. Americans were welcomes by the Native Americans and we killed them. doesnt sound so thankfull to me. But we seam to look past that and make a day where we think of something in our life that were thankfull for and celebrate. The true history behind thanksgiving is never mentioned on the news, televsion or on cheerfull cards we send each other. so maybe the message is to live a good and meaningful life we should celebrate just being with family on holidays instead of remembering why its a holiday because of the history behind it. For my own family Thanksgiving me and my family made tons of food and we had to go around the table and say something were thankfull for (even thought thats not what the holiday is actually about). When it was my turn I said I was thankfull we werent in school, because I liked having time to relax. With no suprise I got funny looks yet there answers were no different then mine because it still had nothing to do with the actaul holiday.

As the next day comes its oficially Black Friday. Everyone is running to stores like best buy at 4am waiting to get things like electronics and other things on sale for very low prices. Alot of people got hurt, One person died and a pregnant woman had a miscarrige because a group of people trampled her. The things people sacrifice to get good deals. I didnt take any part in it because i thinks its stupid, theres no point in getting no sleep and hurting myself to get something cheap. why does it have to be the day after thanksgiving, isnt everyone broke from spending money on thankgiving? i noticed that even my own family members were getting in on the black friday craze. but they were smart and did it online. i guess to live a good and meaning full life you have to be injured and broke to show people you care for them.

08 Elecetion

My thoughts about this years Presidential Election was that it was the most historical one to date. never have we had a African American come this far in becoming the President Of The United States. In my Opinion Barack Obama is one of the best candidates we have ever had. hes such a well spoken person who knows what he wants to do and is realistic about how these things are going to get done. What i noticed on the channels airing the elections was they kept mentioning that the people who didn't vote for him wasn't because he was black but because they don't agree with what he wants to do and i think that's bullshit. In states like Georgia and South Carolina there still Prejudice people who didn't vote for him because he was black and we know there are people who are still like that today.
Also he brings new light to our Country, hopefully he is going to keep his word and put us on the road to a better future and more peaceful country. The best man won in my opinion
GO BARACK OBAMA!!!
