What would you do if you were called “Freak?”

Has the criminal justice system always been unfair to minorities? Lauryn Hill, a famous songwriter talks about several things that opened the eyes of citizens everywhere across this nation in her album MTV Unplugged No. 2.0. In her song, “Mystery of Iniquity” she exposes the unjust court system and how everyone plays a part. The word iniquity means immoral unfair behavior. In the song Lauryn is trying to understand the meaning of the unfair behavior by the criminal justice system. She released this album in 2001, and she was not wrong for publicizing her views on this masterpiece of an album. We tend to forget that under President Clinton’s term, he enforced the 3 strikes and you're out policy, which placed more African American men in person for using crack cocaine than ever before. In the early 2000s, African Americans made up nearly 80% of a prison's population due to the federal crack cocaine laws and they also served more time in prison for drug offenses than their white counterparts. However, during this time period more than 67% (⅔) of crack cocaine users were either white or Hispanic.

Just like Taylor Swift's song, it started off with a blank space, 5 blank spaces.

In her book, Lose Your Mother, Saidiya Hartman challenges Jerry Rawlings’ notion of freedom by responding with “Had Rawlings asked, “‘Are we yet free?’ most Ghanaians would have answered with a resounding, ‘No.’ This ‘no’ resonated on both sides of the Atlantic”(pg 126). The capitalistic spirit that possessed the Europeans enabled them to disrupt the untouched country of Africa and capture its children to satiate their wealth aspirations. In the meantime, the Europeans took the land from the Native Americans through genocidal practices and claimed it as their gift from God. Although some claim that the capitalist ventures of the Europeans during the colonial period and the 19th century were beneficial for all and rooted in innocence, it ultimately caused the physical and cultural death of the Native Americans and African-origin peoples and has led to the day to day suffering of their descendants.

As time went on, I began to expect it more, as they’d take their aggression out on me in the hall, I tried to stand up to them. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it didn’t. Despite this, I remember feeling scared to come into school. I was constantly called fat, and ugly. I was passed notes that when I read them, I couldn’t help but cry. I was being pelted with trash and laughed

Around my middle school years, I knew something about myself was unique, but I could not quite put my finger on it. No one in my family was gay, the word gay was rarely spoken and I did not even know queerness existed. My family lived a very heteronormative lifestyle and I always assumed I would marry a girl and have children. I remember very clearly a day when I was in sixth grade, I was standing in the hallway after class and someone asked me, “are you gay?” I did not know how to react, I did not even know what the word “gay” meant. I immediately replied “NO” as the term gay was always used synonymously with stupid. After school that day, I asked my grandma what it meant to be gay and she described what it mean to be gay. In that moment,

Through out my child hood I was referred to as “that girl boy” or a tom-boy. I thought I was just another little boy but it turned out I wasn't. I never knew what was wrong with me until I started to get older and learned terms to identify a person's sexuality and gender.

On So You Think You Can Dance season 4, Mark and Chelsie did a lyrical hip hop performance to Leona Lewis’s song “Keep Bleeding”. For the performance, Chelsie and Mark played a couple in which the woman importuned the man to stay with her, but he disregarded her wants to continue to work. In the performance, Mark’s wardrobe included a tuxedo with a pair of black church shoes, and Chelsie’s apparel consisted of tennis shoes with jeans and a shirt with a jean vest. The performance started off with the couple standing back to back. Then they turned towards the audience and performed some moves that led up to the man picking up his suitcase as he started to walk away. However, the woman turned around and placed one hand on his left shoulder and grabbed his right arm with the other hand to put the suitcase down. Next they did moves that led to them embracing one another. Then the man pulled

The song I chose for the song explication is “Piece by Piece” by Kelly Clarkson. Kelly’s singing career started when she won American Idol in 2002. Since then Kelly has produced major hits that get stuck in your head and you can’t help but sing along. Though her song “Piece by Piece” is one of my favorite songs she has ever produced. Kelly opens up about her relationship with her father to her fans and the world.

Mitchell Kimbrough’s “Sky” shows how life will pass one by. People oftentimes fail to make decisions or pursue dreams, but life does not wait for them nor run in reverse. The words and images of the poem, combined with the lyrics of Norah Jones’s “Don’t Know Why,” somberly explore the regret of missed opportunities as time passes.

I experienced society’s wrath. The society described me as unattractive, unwanted, dirty, superficial, and worthless. I started to be so bombarded by society’s mindset that it became problematic. I began drowning so deep in my misery that I was no longer able to see the brighter side of things. I started to suffer from bulimia. I would try to eat, but everything I use to enjoy made me nauseous. Although my best friend told me I was beautiful and amazing, I didn't believe her. It became extremely despicable that suicidal thoughts became second nature. I was hideous and angry. I couldn't live like this. I couldn’t bear to see myself.

For the next two years I struggled with the concept that I might actually be gay. By junior I was certain that I was in fact all the things that I was called in middle school, but because of the negative memories I decided it was a secret that I was better of keeping to myself. That was until the spring semester of my senior year in high school when I decided that I was going to live my life the way I wanted to. I would no longer allow people to scare me into being anything other then what I wanted to be I would live my life openly and honestly. On the evening of February 16, 2014 I came out as Gay on literally every social media platform I owned. The following morning, to my surprise, my classmates for the most part greeted me with open arms. As I walked from class to class I received a staggering amount of compliments and support. I was quite frankly overwhelmed when I did get a negative comment and a dozen people rushed to my

I got socked by the truth of war which is against peace. So, war is against peace why US always say that we will
