In regards to my last blog

I wasnt saying that only blacks were going thru bullshit! Everyone is going thru bullshit its a way of life. Life is not fair.

Walllpaper

It doesn't matter if you are white or black to get attention. ANYONE CAN DRAW ATTENTION to themselves. It's just you may hear about black people doing it instead of white people a little bit more.

As black people, we have our own stereotypes as being loud and accentric and things like that. So I can see how someone fo the opposite race may form an opinion that black people may draw more attention to themselves, but it doesn't make it right though.

As far as I am concerned, anybody can bring attention on themselves and I think it's wrong for a white man to kind of say that everyones like wallpaper.

don't assume you know someone to well.. people do lie!

sooo. yesterday was like the worst day of my life; I think? for some odd reason stupid shit happens to me.

So my friend Jaron calls me and is pretty sad, sad to the point when he called i thought someone died. I asked what was wrong and he basically told me a dective and his lawyer would be calling me to get a statement from me about a motorcycle we bought together. I asked what the problem was about the bike and he basically told me that the bike we bought was stolen. A SUPPOSE TO BE GOOD FRIEND OF OURS!! sold us a bike, for 900 dollars in May claiming that the bike was a friend of his who died, and his mother gave him the bike but he felt so attached that he didn't want to keep the bike anymore. At this time Jaron was looking for a motorcycle so we spilt the cost of the bike and paid for it. [MIND YOU... WE HAVE KNOWN THE DUDE THAT SOLD US THE BIKE FOR HELLLLLLAAASSSS!!! LIKE 2 YEARS. dude plays basketball with jaron, we went to college with him in stl, and the sad part dude even helped us move the bike to a bikeshop to get it fixed!]

when im on the phone with Jaron my yeyo ( mother) calls me crying saying that the police are at her door looking for me because they think we stole the bike. and are looking for me because there going to arrest me and jaron for stealing!.... the way this all came to conclusion! when we [ me , jaron and the dude that sold us the bike] took the bike to the bike shop to get fixed! they ran the cereal number and found out it was stolen.. i kept asking jaron what was taking the bike so long to get fixed but he never said anything trying to keep me out of the situation and wanted to take full responsiblity! soooo now we are both like WHAT THE FUCK!!

GOOD THING we had the dude who sold us the bike write a contract out stating he sold us the bike, but sad thing is he was a friend who lied for 900 dollars! told us he couldn't find the title when he knew all along the bike was stolen!! when we kept asking where the info on the bike was.

don't trust anyone!!

p.s if i was acting like a total bitch yesterday myyyy baddd u see why i had an attitude

breaking the curb

I was walking up Mich Ave and I just happened to look down and I see this. What do you guys think about this stencil painting in the sidewalk? Is it art or just a statement stenciled into the sidewalk?

Wite Out: Make No Mistakes

I believe that being white does not mean being "wallpaper". All that matters in being noticed is the aura of engery that you cast around yourself. It is the personal sense of style that seperates us. However, to usually get noticed you have to look eliquent. You have to fight to be noticed. Personally, I don't care whether I'm noticed. I would rather be a fly on the wall watching the moves and habits of others. I do this so that I might get a better understanding of society. You have to keep a mysterious shadow over yourself. It keeps people geussing, it makes people geuss, and thats how you stay a step ahead of the rest

about my post earlier

That is not my own quote!

I got that straight out of the book Stranger then Fiction

Wall paper

Wall paper is real plane.

Wall paper stands out.

Wall paper gets respect

Wall paper cuts the checks

Wall paper will lock you up

Wall paper will sell u dreams

Wall paper built what we call the American Dream

You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover

I don't really agree with what Rob's post. There are alot of different European Americas out there. I mean if you were white and you were walking down the street with 2 feet of spiked hair and a bunch of piercings people might think you do all kinds of drugs. What if you were rocking the goth look, would people assume you were worshiping the devil. Even if you were dressed in a suit and tie, would people think you were an accountant or something. Everyone assumes something about someone. It's all about what you are used to.

WHAT THE FUCK!!!

I can't believe that a white man is complaining that he is white. Black people go thru so much shit in their lives. Not only black people draw attention to themselves but also: whites, hispanics, mexicans, latinos, asians etc. Everyone is different and special in their own special way so you can stand out and be or look different and you don't have to be black to do so. Not to be raciest but some white people do the dumbest shit ever. You dont see black people climbing up buildings, jumping off buildings or any other stupid shit. So depending on what you do and how you do it you will get looked at. So you don't have to look black to stand out.

i thought that was really ashame how that person thought like that. i think everybody should be happy about who they are. everybody can be notice in there own different ways. i think this perosn has really low self esteem about his self.

Ha

I think that this statement
to be white is to be wallpaper
is dumb.
anyone can be ther own idividual person and stick out

White is Wallpaper? Are You Serious?

I feel that everyone draws attention to themselves no matter what. Everyone have something signigicant about themselves that stand out. Whether you are fat, tall, skinny, white, or black. Its kind of bogus that he can single people out and say that those are the people that dont draw attention to themselves. White people im not trying to single white people out or anything but everyone is and attention grabber and wants attention some how some way so they will do things to try to get attention. Its human nature dammit!!!

Kill Whitey.

Being white I think I can agree with Rob's post, being a white male gives you the benefit of blending into a society that caters primarily to white males, but the culture I identify with draws negative attention to me. It often makes me stand out not only to whites but to some blacks as well. "Wigger", "Act your race!", "dude you're white!" etc. i hear these comments a lot. I am persecuted because I choose to identify with a culture that many Caucasians ignorantly think is for African-Americans only. As I said in the lecture yesterday, issues of race seem to be slowly fading away, and how people judge you is becoming more based on your economic class. That's not to say racism doesnt still exist. An ex-girlfriend of mine would often go out of her way to avoid crossing path's with a large group of black males(we didn't date long because she would do this). She wasn't out and out racist but subconciously there was a paranoia, a fear based on stereotypes and assumptions.
Being white in this country is hard for me. Maybe it's a sense of guilt, a sense of feeling responsible for the struggle blacks still have to endure. Many caucasians are often pompous, arrogant, ignorant and indifferent towards other ethnic groups in this country, and thats not to say there arent exceptions to this. being a humanist I dont judge people by the color of their skin I judge them on who they are as a person.


"the white man is the fucking devil, i wanted to be black at age 14." - Sole

P.S. that quote is from a sattirical song by one of my favorite hiphop artists, don't take it literally.

whitie is wall paper

i think to be wall paper is to be boring unless that wall paper has some cool pineapples and flowers on it like a hawwiian shirt so basically i am saying that i may be white but i stick out like a sore thumb in a crowd because im crazy like when i was on the blue line train with wade and i was yelling "man this train is cookin!" all eyes where on me the people on the train where like "hey look at that guy hes crazy"
so i dissagree

White?

So I will start by naming my high school. It was westover high school. The population was 47% African American, 21% Hispanic, and 6% Asian. It had about 1% other. So what does that leave for us whities. The non-minorities. It seems to be about 12%.
I'm not saying I know how it feels to walk in a jewry store and look like robber or to walk into a bar and look like I'm easy. But I stood out no less than anyone else in high school. I personally don't care about this issue. It's not my problem. I never did care what people think.
I didn't care when my 9th grade teacher was talking about the n-word then walks up to me and says "do you care when people call you cracker or honky?" I just simply asked her if she was calling me cracker or honky. She was indeed.

How do you pay for college 2

So a guy named Vishal Garg had trouble coming up with money to pay for college. So in his dorm he decided to go outside his 20 year old box and trade hedge funds. In that white painted carpetless dorm he traded upwards of $200 Million.
I don't know about you but I think that is more than enough to pay for college. With that, he founded a company named "my ritch uncle" which is a company that helps people like myself who does not have parents to help him pay for school and has no credit.
Not only does this company do school loans but it also does internship and study abroad loans.

There's a catch though... they don't lend to Columbia College.
