Well this semester is driving me bonkers, but only because I procrastinate badly. I'm too distractable. I really need to sleep... for about 3 months... then I'll be ready for work! Guess not much else is new with me. Trying not to scream

An interesting poem was brought up in our American Mulit-cultural class today. It is by an African American poet of the 20's. <> The Melting Pot by Dudley Randall <> There is a magic melting pot Where any girl or man Can step in Czech or Greek or Scot, Step out American. Johann and Jan and Jean and Juan, Giovanni and Ivan Step in and then step out again All freshly christened John. <> Sam, watching, said, “Why, I was here Even before they came,” And stepped in too, but was tossed out Before he passed the brim. <> And every time Sam tried that pot They threw him out again. “Keep out. This is our private pot. We don’t want your black stain.” At last, thrown out a thousand times, Sam said, “I don’t give a damn. Shove your old pot. You can like it or not, But I’ll be just what I am.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sadly I don't think America as a whole has accepted all races, and is becoming less and less trusting in lieu of recent historical events. Though a bit of healthy caution is okay, there are extremes...
