Race

It officially "hump" day and I am yet again going through the motions of school. I think "senioritis" has hit because each day seems more and more of a struggle. Today nothing too significant happened but as I was winding down with some friends we started to watch TV and was enthralled with the show Tyra. Trya's topic for the day's show was "Race in your face" apparently depicting certain race issues and stigmas. The topics at hand seemed arrogant and irrelevant to daily and important issues that arise from race. This formulated a topic amongst my friends and we started to dissect the term race and its true value.
We decided that race was in fact insignificant to our personal lives. We never found our says daily introducing ourselves as "white women" or really having any significance to our race at all but merely a means in defining the color of our skin. We came to the conclusion that we as a society have created the term "race" and have caused it to effect our lives and how we treat others. We decided it has never been the color of our skin that has defined us personally but rather our nationally and culture in which we live in.
So I challenge those out there to remove race from your vocabulary and see if it really changes the way you look at yourself, others, the world or the way others look at you.
