RE: Thoughts from a Swimming Pool | The importance of Perspective
I saw a documentary about the DR and Haiti recently...and after it, I don't really want to go to the DR that much, but I kinda wanna visit Haiti at least once. It's horrible what that island went through...but it's really bad that the racism persists so much even to today. Sure, it's not good to judge, but when a country kicks out it's own citizens because they're black...I'll make an exception. I've had the misfortune of being exposed to media, so I have to deal with overcoming a bit of prejudice from that, but the level where you actually denounce the citizenship of someone and deport them because they're black? That's just fucked.
I do need to travel and visit more of the world though. Everyone should. Every American should leave the country at least once...because American colleges are way overpriced, and they should go to school elsewhere. After that, they should experience the world a bit more too, but at least they wouldn't be in debt for thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
