Why is the world like this? When we abolish slavery, we should've abolish racism. But it was ingrained into us as children. Let's blame our parents. But no, we can't cause it's a generational thing. It was carried from generation to generation. We are all humans even though we are all different on the outside. Don't label us for who we are on the outside; we are more than skin tone, more than eye color, more than eye shape, we are one and the same -- living, breathing human beings.
Throughout history, people of color (POC) were/are treated differently by the whites because of their skin color. They were/are treated less than because of white privilege. Although technology and life have advanced, people's mindset haven't. They are still stuck in the past. Still think the minorities must bow down and obey them when the whites were the ones who stole the land from the Natives. They are the low-life thugs. They are the murderers. They are the ones who are bringing violence, mayhem, destruction, death to this madness we called our world. White privilege is just garbage. They think the minorities owe us something? Yeah right. The minorities owe the whites nothing! Except life, liberty and justice!
We demand retribution for years of hate against us. We did nothing wrong except be. Why do you hate us minorities? Because of our different skin color, our customs, our culture? We have a right to live here. We, too, are Americans. The whites think we are low-life's. That is rich coming from you. You murder an innocent black man and you called us thugs. Must have started back when Columbus chopped off the Natives' hands and murdered them when he bought some back to his homeland with no remorse. He prob'ly thought he was justified in killing the Indians. Now a buncha white cops killed an innocent black man. They prob'ly think they, too, are justified and feel no remorse. They prob'ly are gloating about it with their friends. When will this madness stop? We've a stupid president who's blaming the flu epidemic on the Chinese calling it the Chinese virus, starting Chinese racism, but the Floyd event made things even worse by far. Hatred will tear this nation apart in the form of racism.
We minorities should ban/boycott all white brand labels. See how they can live without us. Corrupt their businesses (as if their businesses aren't bad already due to the Coronavirus). Make a stand for ourselves instead of going mad.

Lifetime's My Daughter's Psycho Friend
Here's the synopsis from the Lifetime's website: When Sierra moves to Los Angeles with her family and goes to a new school, she encounters the devious and psychotic Lexi and her posse of friends. Soon afterwards at a party, a teenager dies as a result of a Lexi prank. When Lexi tries to frame Sierra for the kid’s death, Sierra fights back, putting her own life in danger. Taylor Blackwell, Avery Pohl, Cerina Vincent star. (2020).
Lexi's pranks are downright devious and manipulative. They are not your everyday garden variety pranks; they can get you in major trouble. One time she send the police to where Sierra lives now but a boy named Scotty used to lived. It was a swatting, but he and his parents were terrified so they moved. Kaitlyn and Lexi thought it was funny, but it terrified Scotty's family.
When Sierra is with the girls at a party at Lexi's for the first time, she sees them put some kind of drug in their classmate's beer but didn't know what was going on. She is only invited to the party because she and Kaitlyn are new neighbors.Then the drugged classmate walks straight into the swimming pool and drowns. All Lexi could do is think of covering her tracks, not of the boy. /She shows no empathy for the dead kid. But Kaitlyn is saying that they murder a kid. But then Lexi said Kaitlyn could've stopped her. Her mother found out she is having a party. Lexi and her mother--they don't respect each other. Police do the usual questioning and such. Lexi's mother said she doesn't want any responsibility for her actions. Afterwards there is a little fight in the hall at school over the death at the party but Lance ended by rescuing Sierra. Lance is Sierra's potential bf and the dead kid's friend. There is a fire alarm set off (prob'ly by Lexi) to plant the drug that she bought in Sierra's locker. She is the one who tips off the school who then suspends her upon further investigation. Kaitlyn wants to make a pact with Lexi and Sierra but it turns out to be a trap. A trap to lure her out to her death. Lexi wants to kill her to shut up when she finds out that Sierra was recording her confession about drugging the other classmate. She almost did try to kill her by putting her her car and drugs her with the drug and pushes her car into the lake. But Sierra woke up and pushes her way out of the watery grave, rescue by her parents with only a concussion. Lexi goes home and finds her mother getting ready to throw her out of the house so she throws her off the stairs. She tries to throw Kaitlyn off the stairs at school but the football team saves her. She breaks into Sierra's family's house, shoots her dad in the arm, tries to find Sierra herself but falls out the window. She is caught and sent to the slammer Meanwhile, Sierra is free of Lexi
Actress AveryKristen Pohl did a go job as Lexi. I loathe her so much from beginning to end. The ending was super cliff-hanger-ish. It shows the queen bee of the prison ward about to pounce on Lexi. I figure she'll get a taste of her own medicine very soon because the last scene wee saw her in she had her 'neck broken. I can imagine the taunting and the hate amongst her fellow inmates.There should be a squeal or a TV show version of this movie about the underbelly of women's prison. Are there clique in prison? If so, are they the same as outside?

Let’s Us All Perish
Science fiction becomes reality
It’s all so surreal
When you think:
It’s the stuff of movies & books
It can’t ever happen to US—
NO WAY
NO HOW
And when it does—
We are hit!!
Full-force
Not even realizing what effects we have
We are SO unprepared
We never knew art would imitate life

VC Andrews Out of the Attic
The ghostwriter, Andrew Neiderman, for the highly-anticipated Out of the Attic, a prequel to the original Flowers in the Attic series. made the novel into a sham. I'll bet poor. V.C. Andrews is spinning in her grave right now...or not depending on how scandalous you prefer it to be.
In this book, it shows how Corrine takes a stand for herself. In Flowers in the Attic, she is so self-assured and domineering, but in this book, she shows how she becomes the mistress of Foxworth Hall by asserting her authority as both mother to Malcolm Foxworth and wife to Garland Foxworth, which she fails terribly at.
She never seems to trust her own son because she thinks her little boy is a midget version of her husband, conniving and manipulative. She wants to care for him on her own, but her husband ells her she should care about her beauty ( what beauty? more like her ugliness-her personality is ugly) before her son, so he grants her a nanny. Whenever her son wants her attention, she treats him harshly, not with kindness or compassion. No wonder he prefers his nanny more over his own mother.
Not only does she not trust her kid, she doesn't even trust her own husband due to idle gossip around Charlottesville, the town Foxworth Hall makes its home. It has been seen and talked about in town that he has been seen at Caroline House with a widow, Mrs. Catherine Francis. Upon hearing this news, she goes right home to her parents, but her parents are not supportive at all, so Surprise! Surprise! when she gets home she sees Mrs. Catherine Francis loaded with fancy clothes from London, where Garland has also been. Garland comes home that day when Corrine confronts him, he made up some business excuse. Garland knew what Corrine has been up to whilst he has been away, which included attending the Halloween costume party as a nun that Corrine has found in one of the trunks in the Foxworth Hall attic. Later when he found out about her going to the party alone, he was incensed because women during that period (1850s) weren't allowed to go out in public alone unless with a male chaperone. He makes her put on a negligee he has just purchased from France and he has rough sex with her.
Corrine also finds out that the nanny/personal assistant has been in Garland's mother's nightdress in her bed and Garland has been going in there, thinking she's her mother, confessing to her like a little boy. Corrine tells her the next time she sees a nightdress on Garland's mother's bed. come tell her, so she does. She put it on and Garland comes in and was so mad; Corrine thinks she has the upper hand. Another time after Corrine, Malcolm and his nanny goes to Virginia Beach together, Garland was so mad when they arrived that he had rough sex with her again. But it was confusing... Malcolm, Corrine and his nanny took a picture in Virginia Beach and they said it will arrive in Foxworth Hall in 2 days, but they didn't even mention it after it was taken. Not ever again.
A while after that, Corrine wanted her portrait to be drawn by an male artist she first met at the Halloween party, then at Virginia Beach. She asks permission (!) from Garland to have her portrait drawn and he greenlights it before he goes on his business trip and it gets finished on the day he comes home. On the last day the artist finishes, Malcolm barges into his mother's room and sees her kiss the portrait artist. Malcolm keeps the Kiss to himself until they talk about boarding school. Malcolm spills the beans to his father about the Kiss, which ensues in the most roughest sexual intercourse as payback for her cheating on him; there is blood everywhere. She runs away to where the portrait artist is staying without ever looking back.
After a while, she finds out she is pregnant with Garland's son but the portrait artist and Corrine raised it as their own and they also have their own daughter
The book is okay. It is modernized when it should be more classy.It is filled with today's slang like Halloween costume party when it olden times it was called Halloween Masquerade Ball. They mixed up descended with ascended. They have a lot of loose ends. I hate the book from beginning to end.
Where is the assertive and self-assured Corrine Foxworth from Flowers in the Attic? This Corrine Foxworth is so... insecure and self-conscious.She always cares about what others think of her. Corrine Foxworth in originial series is ugly, not beautiful. She is no-nonsense.
This book is filled with sexism. Why does the lady get to ask the guy's permission to do stuff? How come the men don't get permission from the ladies to do stuff? She gets in trouble for being an adulteress, but not the guy. I get that man have more power back then but it shouldn't have to be.

Famous Words
I hope I become famous one day.
So well-known, that people will be quoting words from me just like from my fav female role model Mae West. She didn't let anyone kick her around. One of my all-time fav quotes from her is:
When I'm good, I'm very good. But when I'm bad I'm better. Mae West.
But that is no longer the case w/ this new admin. This admin is causing bedlam, besmirching us of our liberty, freedom and pursuit of happiness. We have gone back to a dictatorship when the monarchy ruled us w/ an iron fist. Let's overthrow this admin by rebelling against the system. A system that is shrouded in lies, corruption & deceit.
I wanna change the world for the better by becoming an guerrilla, fighting against intolerance, ignorance, bigotry, hate, discrimination. I don't like the wall that's being build--isn't United States about acceptance & inclusion no matter who or what you are? I wanna change that. I wanna fight for goodness. I wanna to make changes. I won't accept hate, intolerance, bullying, discrimination. I know what's it like to be shut out because of who you are. I will accept with open arms love, acceptance, understanding, compassion, empathy.

Movie Revue: Columbiana
Best. Movie. Ever.
Best movie I've seen in ages. Movies about female assassins are the best movies ever IMO. This one is about a girl seeking vengeance for killing of her parents. The action scenes were the best, I'll say. The girl came to the States all on her own, escaping from her escort; she is
one resourceful young girl, even escaping from the people who killed
her parents. This young lady fool the whole group of male CIAs. She had the guts and gumption to seek revenge. It is a very admirable quality to fight for what you want and be proud of it.The young lady is now a fugitive from the law, but she sought her vengeance. I like it b/c they didn't expect a woman to be an assassin. They bought the whole group of CIAs to their knees.
Did you know that the creators of this movie also made Le Femme Nikita?
Plus, Zoe Saldana did a great job portraying orphan Catalina who is out for vengeance. Give this gal accolades! Great job, Ms. Saldana, for representing female assassins everywhere! Why don't action movies get the proper respect they deserve?
My love and respect to female assassins everywhere!!! Kill Bill (good job Uma Thurman!), Le Femme Nikita and now Columbiana!!!
I want to be able to stand and fight without any repercussions like any good assassin (but not kill anybody whilst doing it). I wouldn't have the guts and gumption to even speak up if one person was bugging me, let alone fight back with guns blazing (or in a rational sense with words). I'm such a chicken when it comes to speaking up for myself that I admire others who can speak up for themselves. I want to stand up in front of an audience and not freak out, Sometimes I tend to have stage fright when I'm in front of an audience.
I love Catalina b/c she is the type of person, type of lady, who I'd like to be, a go-getter, a no-nonsense type of gal that goes after what she wants and gets it at any cost. She is not a fragile, weak woman who needs to be saved. No sir! She needs no saving! She believes in what she wants, she knows what she's capable of and gets it. I want that in me. She is tough and resilient, knowing she can win any fight that comes her way. She is my kind of girl to be. I love to be like her.
