Racism Fairytail
Her roommate was disappointed of the roommate she had gotten. Mic'kyla had never experienced racism in her life before, so when Brittany was out in the hall of the dormitory yelling around screaming "I have an Indian girl as a roommate, i need a new roommate". Now Mic'kyla felt a sad feeling within her and then she felt anger she could not understand. so what she did she asked Brittany what she meant by all those things she said out in the hallway. Brittany's response to the question was a blank stare it Mic'kyla's face. Mic'kyla asked her again with a more intense tone.
Brittany finally responded and said she did not like colored people. Mic'kyla was furious by what she had just herd and stormed off. Brittany was scared by the reaction Mic'kyla had. Soon after that Mic'kyla had gone to the dormitory housing office and asked for a room change, because the college was so small there were no rooms left. Mic'kyla was angry but she thought of a brilliant plan to convince that natives and Africans etc. are not any different then her. so when she got to her room she smiled at Brittany with a prankish face. Her roommate looked at her with a curious face and anger.
Mic'kyla went to her bed and started unpacking, and put her medicines and her cultural belongings on her counter. Brittany looked at the stuff Mic'kyla had put down and was curious about what they were. She asked Mic'kyla and Mic'kyla knew that Brittany was going to ask so she turned to her and said" do you want me to show you?". Brittany smiled and said in a kind voice "yes please". Mic'kyla grabbed Brittany's hand and sat her on a cozy pillow and she sat next to her and showed her what they were.
Brittany looked surprised and ecstatic, but then she felt a little friendship feeling in her stomach and realized that Native Americans had a beautiful culture. Mic'kyla continued and soon after told Brittany about African, Asian, and Native American cultures and made Brittany realize that people from different ethnic groups aren't any different then she was.

Love and Sex: Whats race got to do with it?
You don't have to be of the same color to date. Her words are strong and meaningful. The tone she gave in the article was a angry and tired.
She was apparently tired and mad about the stereotypes and prejudice comments on interracial relationships. The article I believe was mostly on prejudice. The way she put her words and her tone.
It had a lot of meaning to the way she wrote her article.
I completely agree with her. I believe that love is a feeling there are no rules. You don't have to be a certain color to be in love or have inter relationships. Be who you want be with. Date who you want to date.

Racsim
I believe everyone is equal just because there skin is a different color does not make them any different. I've been called names and teased just because I was Native American. Despite the fact that I have a different skin color and culture, but I am still the same human being. I have the same organs, same color blood, and I was born and raised on this earth. In my vocabulary there is no such word as different.
My names Taylor James I am a Native American from the Menominee Indian Tribe of
It was my third year in volleyball, I was in the ninth grade when we went to a Caucasian school for or first game of the season. When we got to the school I was talking to some of my friends at the school and a bunch of girls come walking in and rolled their eyes at my team I thought nothing of it so when it came time to play I was excited to play my first game. While we were playing I heard some girls in the bleachers yelling "Go back to where you came from". Now I was very angry and I did not have my head in the game I just keep thinking of what that girl was saying over and over. Soon after the game I went to the girls and asked what they wanted, they did not say anything. So what i did was i told there principle. The girls soon learned that we are not any different and apologized to my team and were no longer allowed at any of the games that were against Native American schools.
Those that had read this and that also as been through the same experience don't let anyone tell you that you are different. Because I believe that everyone is equal.
