Goodbye Creepy White Men

It seems that todays headlines are flooded with either a new trump atrocity or another Hollywood sexual abuse scandal. Hollywood has always been a breeding ground for fowl behavior and it should be no surprise that even so called “high-profile” Hollywood is riddled with sexual assault. Recently there has been a large amount of revelations about the misconduct of quite a few of Hollywood and other industry elite such as, Harvey Weinstein, Louis CK, Kevin Spacey, and Matt Lauer.  In the beginning of October multiple women came forward accusing Harvey Weinstein, a Hollywood producer, of sexual misconduct. The immensely negative reaction the public had towards his actions acted as a catalyst for exposing an exponential amount of more high-profile men accused of sexual misconduct.

As society continues to grow and accept the truth and reality that sexual harassment is everywhere more and more people are going to feel sa...

The "New Alt" is doing Al(t)right

I chose to read “The Periscope that shows how there’s no difference between the “new right” and “alt-right”” by Cristina López on Media Matters: https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2017/10/19/periscope-shows-how-theres-no-difference-between-new-right-and-alt-right/218272 The article is intended for left-winged readers as it discusses many issues caused by the alt-right.

The broadcast was hosted by Lucian Wintrich, a White House correspondent for the pro-Trump Gateway Pundit, and features “new-right” personality Ali Akbar, and Matt Colligan who was a participant of the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, VA. They purpose of the broadcast was to have an honest exchange of ideas and claimed: “We’re not going to be mean. We’re n...

Take a Kneel

In Eduardo Lara’s “ Blog Stage 5 ” he discusses the recent media attention surrounding the current backlash NFL players who have taken a knee during the national anthem have received. Citizens and even Donald Trump have taken to social media to share their outrage about the so called grievous disgrace the players who participated showed towards the nation. He goes on to discuss how these players have received threats from their organizations, their fans, and even their president. I agree with his belief that these player, who are simply expressing their freedom of expression, are being wrongfully mistreated.  By choosing to kneel during the anthem these players are not disrespecting the United States, rather they are simply choosing to express their respect in a different manner, while making a statement about the current status of our nation. This right is protected under the first amendment which guarantees our freedom of religion and speech. This freedom has been protected ...
