Freedom Writers...


Anyone who knows me or lived with/near me will know that one of my favourite songs is Hope by Twista and Changes by 2pac, amongst the others...

Somehow.. i swear i have heard this song possibly 1000 times at least... considerin i 1st heard it back in year 11, when i was 16.. when i first got my 1st decent set of speakers... and ppl should already know that i tend to leave the same song on ... and on... and on.. on replay basicaly

But somehow.. somehow.. these 2 songs ... will forever be in my head.. somehow.. just somehow. I just feel these 2 songs are.. really meaningful... as its about... just about the biggest problem that our world faces today...

RACISM...

However, its also about hope for a better future.. Hope for all the tragedies that has occured... that we must always have... HOPE...

"Wish God never gave the men power
to be able to hurt the people inside the Twin Towers..."
Hope~Twista ft CeeLo

"it aint a secret dont conceal the fact
The penententiary is packed, and its filled with blacks..."
Changes~2Pac

So yeah.. if you havent listened to those songs b4.. might be a good time to start.. just blast it.. dont bother about the song..the melody.. just listen... to the lyrics...

Bet you're wondering why in the world am i talkin about racism now.. its because of this...


Really good movie.. from my point of view.. so yeah.. go check it out.. its not your comedy, action or nothing like that.. drama maybe? and its based on a true story.. and im a big sucker for true stories like pursuit of happiness which i think is really great too! so if you havent watched these 2 movies.. go grab em!!!

In our world today, racism happens everyday. Im not saying that im not racist... no matter how 'NOT RACIST' someone maybe.. there will be a slight.. slight hesitation!!! Its just a norm.. when you meet someone from diff background.. diff skin colour etc. The only difference is whether you welcome that person in the end.. which most of us do. No matter what, there might be some ... topics that you wont talk about.. thing you might not do when together with some other race.. and thats alrite.. as i find .. thats.. a tolerable racism.. a healthy one indeed. It only turns ugly.. when you start killing each other, or fight over things.. or side each other due to difference of skin colour.. now that.. is unacceptable...

I just think that this world would be a better place without all the racism going on.... a more peaceful place.. not that im sayin any of my readers aka YOU are racist.. just thought id shed some light on this topic while im at it.. as for me.. like i said.. i am racist till a very small point.. but no more.. Come on.. how can i be racist. I listen to black music, i like japanese girls, one of my best friends is half indian. One of my so called EX is australian (Thats you beyonce aka Sarah Tulloch). so yeah.. aint racist over here mate...

yay! proud of you eddie...
not only did you blog about racism, you admitted that we are all different (which is something that a lot of people in the world haven't figured out yet)
So artsy!
And while you're in England.
Damn, i can't claim i had anything to do with it. :)
Hope is still an awesome song!

p.s: let's all have beautiful multicultural babies!
