you better lose yourself in the music the moment you own it.

you better never let it go.

Today I had a really interesting, dynamic discussion the meaning of racism in my Black Studies class. The book we were reading described racism as an ideology where one group of people is thought to have unchangeable characteristics that make it impossible for them to ever assimilate with another group. Thus, division based on religion can't be racism because one can always convert. This led us to discussing what America's fear of Muslims is...racism, or xenophobia. I believe it's rote xenophobia; if an everyday American say a man wearing a turban or a woman wearing a hijab on their plane, they'd probably get nervous. If these people were wearing American clothing, I don't think they'd feel that fear because those people would have assimilated.

Well that's my take.
In other words, V-Day wasn't as awkward as expected-let's hope it stays that way.
