12 February 2004
Well I don't know where you all were at 7pm tonight, but I didn't see any of my readers in carswell, (if you were there and i missed you, my bad) and that's a shame because you missed an amazing speaker. Dr. Hoda Hosseini speaking on the oneness of the human race and the destiny of America. Maybe you didn't know that all people are as closley related as 50th cousins, or that all humans' DNA is over 99% identical. The U.S. government has conducted studies called the racial parity index that show that it takes 169 years for a black male to have the same earning power as a white male, thats right, 169 years for a black male to catch up to a white male. 300 years for a black family to have equal family income, and 500 years for blacks to have equality in education. Blacks are six times more likely to serve a jail sentence in America for the same crime as whites. Over the past 15 years, GM has charged blacks 3% higher interest than whites on car loans, and dealers have raised prices for blacks as well.
Is this a land of liberty, justice and equality for all?
Do your part, be educated, put an end to stereotypes, get to know other types of people, don't continue these stereotypes and unfair treatment. Ending racism starts on an individual basis.
Maybe I'll see more of you on Thursday February 19th in Pugh Auditorium at 7pm when Daryl Davis presents "A Black Man's Odyssey Into The Ku Klux Klan".
