For the Next couple weeks I will be studying Post colonial Lens, what influenced me the most to choose this topic is racism, freedom of speech, and to protect Human rights. The colonial class has so much power to colonize race, religion, culture, class, gender, sexual orientation, and costume beliefs. I believe that the African Americans race is capable of being self sufficient. This particular lens catched my attention because it is a problem that still goes on till this very day, when in reality it should've been left behind years ago.  The other day on my way home from school a car pulled up next to mine and it was a women. In Front of her car was a red truck and a Mexican men was driving it. The women was american and had her windows down, she was was yelling outside her car “why do people come to the US if they can’t even speak English” and “Why do Mexicans have to be here they are not welcomed". I was very shocked and wanted to say something back, the lady then stepped in the pedal and crashed into the back of the Mexicans truck. I felt extremely mad and full of anger but also felt pretty bad for the man because he could of made her pay for the damage she did, but like he doesn't have papers so he can’t get victory or go looking for the cops. My personal belief about this topic is I agree 100% completely with the fact that we should not allow racism. No race is better than another and no race knows more than another, we are all the same and should be treated equally. We can not allow a race to be feel more powerful than other. A similar topic to racism that I was considering on choosing is feminism, feminism is similar as racism but its gender inequality not skin tone. I believe much in the fact that everyone deserves a chance and are capable to do anything they like if they put there heart and mind to it, not just because you're Asian or black or a women you aren't suited for chasing your dreams. Out of this project I am hopping to get racism to stop completely from people, when they look in my blog and see all the  racism that has been going on around in our everyday life and in beloved.
