Disappointment

Hey!!
I just read that they are still having racially segregated proms... in 2013!! Can you believe that???
If you don't know what racially segregated proms are, let me explain it to you, although from the word racial  I bet you know exactly what I'm talking about. It's when they have different proms for different ethnic groups.  So if you're Latina or mulatta or black or Asian or Indian, you have to go to a different prom than white people. I find it quite insulting and it disappoints me that people in this world, much less a school, still enforces racially segregated proms, racially segregated EVENTS!
And when students try to make an integrated prom, guess what? The very same students they are fighting for, rip them down and discourage them.
Thank God that there are still good people in this world who make it known that it is still out there in the world, in our decent and civilized world. Thanks that there are people who fight for a change.
So I just wanted to put that out there. We can all make a difference. I have plenty black friends and plenty Hispanic friends and I would hate if they were ever treated differently from each other. It seems so unfair.
People say that how children and teens view the world is immature or silly but the way I see it, the way we view this world is simple and I am very sure that everything would work out if things were simpler and not more complicated like this. I mean, who the hell cares what your skin color is? I don't, that's for sure.
Think about it, and here's the link to the article on segregated proms and the four teenagers who spoke up against it http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/04/segregated-prom-wilcox-county-ga-high-school_n_3013733.html

PEACE!!!
