I have to make a media journal for my Race and Gender in the Media class. This means I have to find articles, movies, shows, news and other things depicting racism, classism or sexism and then write my thoughts about it!
Basically, this class is a two-hour lecture on why you should feel bad for being white and a man. Ergo, my media journal is full of nothing but scorn for minorities, different religions, women and the poor.
Anyways, let's keep this thread bumped, guys, so I don't forget to make my entries so we don't all die!
The journal is due on Tuesday, leaving me the whole weekend and Monday to do it. Henceforth, starting today, if I do 3 entries a day, I should be in good shape.
I have to go back to Phoenix in the meantime, however, because it's opera night!

What the fuck is classism?
Like racism, but based on the size of your bank account and how many luxury cars you own.
I guess an example of this would be a rich person assuming poor people are subhuman, or poor people assuming the rich are inherently immoral.
Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite. - John Kenneth Galbraith

My biggest complaint with this class is that it's extremely one-sided, especially in terms of race and class.
For the past few days, we've been discussing how all whites are secretly member of the KKK and how we deserve to be bombed for our persecution of muslims. Then we've talked about how communism is the only way to equality and the government is the only one who knows what to do with money.
It's all actually quite offensive.

I had a Social Problems Class that sounds like it was taught by the same guy, The worst professor at The dinky little place, Dr. Makay, Fucking hippy commie nutball, Went off telling us how the drug wars was stared as a campaign for Nixon to target blacks, that the war/incident in Panama was really so the US could test out new weapons, and the thing that I think he got canned for eventually, he wouldn't stop with insinuating Bush let/cause the 911 attacks. Worse still was he failed you if you disagreed with him.

Sean had this to say about Captain Planet:
Anakha, you're quickly becoming both stupid and pointless. With that sigpic I'm even beginning to mistake you for Ruvyen of the past.
I see no swords in his sigpic. However, his post was pretty retarded.
It's odd though...taken a few history, politics, and econ classes, and never saw a lick of socialist policy, and the politics leaning was more moderate than anything, at least on the professor's side. The students however...Students for Social Justice, a club on my campus has done some weirdly over-liberal stuff that I can't agree with, and I consider myself to be moderate-liberal.
Thus far, all I have is the following:
-The Safe Working and Learning Environment policy (The "You can't say grandma" policy)
-The Riots in France
-The Vatican's Endorsement of Scientific Fact
-The Boondocks
Help me out here, guys!
PS: Azrael, why do you have a cariacture of Maradon for your sigpic?
Ah well, since it's a male character of mine who is close to my current level of facial hair, I figured it was appropriate. And I figured it was time for a change since Monica apparently decided to pick the same sig that I did. Or vice versa. Can't really tell when we each updated.

Seems like a good opportunity to dissect Kanye West's blatant racism, and those who agreed with him.

Just tell your bitch to do it while you go out with the guys to a strip club.
Some people are like Slinkys... Not really good for anything, But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
With over twenty topics covered, from Nike to Kanye West to Paris to Michael Moore to Kingdom of Heaven to Moslems, this journal is a high-quality piece of crap.
But it should be sufficient.
We'll celebrate by organizing a hate group.
