Broadcasting a World of Whiteness

In the article Broadcasting a World of Whiteness by Jon Caramanica, talks about a new tv show on HBO called " Girls " and many believe that the show is racist because of the lack of african american characters in the show and the show has racial slurs. For Example  It tells how on a scene after the two cast member named Hannah, played by Lena Dunham and her non boyfriend Adam (Adam Driver) have sex, once they're finished he made a comment promising he"s going to make the "continent of Africa on" Hanna's arm. Also a remark from another cast member said " I want to have children with many different men, of different races." 


I honestly dont really care about ONE tv show that doesnt have black characters. There are a million and one tv shows with either all black characters, or half the cast is black characters or all white characters . It just takes one click to find a show that fits your preferences. 

New Jersey Woman Says She Was Fired For Being Too Busty

http://gma.yahoo.com/jersey-woman-she-fired-being-too-busty-015114881--abc-news-topstories.html
a data entry worker Lauren Odes for Native Intimates from new Jersey  was fired from her job for not covering up .
Her supervisor , a orthodox Jew said her outfits to work were distracting .
This disrespectful thing about this situation is , the supervisors told her to tape down get breasts , and gave her a bathrobe and told her to wear it for the rest of the day. Who wears a bathrobe to work !?
They also said if she didn't want to wear the bathrobe , she had to go out and buy a long grandma dress and put it on. so that's what she did , and while out looking for that horrid outfit , they called her and fired her .
this article made me feel mad , the store didn't gave a specific dresscode , so why would they be so discriminative .. especially for the type of company their running. their just jealous of Laurens body i guess they want her to wear a cardboard box to work, but what still has me heated is what type of respected business tells someone to tape down their body parts because they're too big , I'm glad she did call in her attorney because if that was me , i would have sued them for every penny they had .

Its very weird for a jew to tell a person that works for a lingerie place to cover up her clothes. when you barley wear clothes when you have on lingerie.

Reflection ...

    Before I was never really interested in Journalism .. i barley knew what it was about. Now, im still not interested in it because i hate writing newspapers... i hate writing period. For example, i hated writing newspapers .. i wish we did something else. I hated it because everytime i wrote something .. i had to keep editing it over, and over, and over again & i will be honest, i dont have the patience for things like that. 

    Since coming to high school, i've changed. I use to be a little, small shy girl. But now i could care less about what people think. Im small but im big and mighty at heart. I think i changed for the good, because i take up for myself a little more. For example, if i feel disrespected, i'll tell you straight off how i feel. with no hesitation. 

Also, since coming to high school, i separated myself from people that i don't need in my life, such as bad influences and negative people. Even if i been with them for a long time. As i get older,  i learned that some people are just better off alone than with a flock of haters .
