This Is America...Unashamed Racism
As early as the 1500’s, Africans were purchased and brought over to America to be slaves to the colonizers, building a new world. A new world on the bodies of the indigenous tribes that already were here. They were “property” to these people, looking to build anew. The indigenous were “savages”, the Africans were “savage property”, and they felt they were the kings and queens. After centuries of slavery, the “slaves“ found themselves fighting for freedom. Freedom from the British tyranny over the land, but not their own freedom.

How #MeToo Has Reshaped Society
This year, brave individuals, men and women, have come forward to reveal the people who have assaulted them, whether it is sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, even to the extremes of rape. However, despite all this, we NEED to do better. To be better. What does this mean? We need to have the same accountability that is not just applied to business, but also to politics. We also need to have heavier repercussions for those who engage in such behaviors.

So, What Are You?
"So, what are you? I mean, how do you categorize yourself? Are you black? White? Hispanic? Maybe some Polynesian?" These are the questions many of us who are classed as "multiracial" or "multi-ethnic" are asked. Not just randomly, or once in a blue moon, but on a daily basis. You, yourself often probably wonder what we would classify ourselves as. The bottom line is we cannot, and often do not, classify ourselves to one specific "race" or "ethnicity." How can you?

A Guide to Professional Drinking
So, you think you can drink. The real question, can you drink anything and still remain coherent? Can you out-drink your friends, wake up without a hangover, and make them think you're a god? If your answer is no, or not really, then I am here to help you. There are MANY myths on how to drink and have no hangover, and I have tried them. None of them truly work. Yet, through conditioning myself, and learning some basic biology, I figured out how to drink, really drink, and wake with little to no side effects.

What It Means to Be American
American. What does that mean? What does it mean to be "American"? Does it mean one should be proud for taking the land from the indigenous (who still do not have equal rights)? Does it mean to be proud of discrimination of minorities and those who do not share the "Christian" values? Does it mean that one should be proud of a man who is misogynistic and racist? Or does it mean to hold true to the pursuit of life, liberty, and freedom, regardless of gender, race, or religion?

The Modern Gentleman
So, you are looking to see what it means to become a "gentleman". Or, perhaps you are looking to find a "gentleman". This is your one stop article to help you either define a "gentleman" or to help you find a "gentleman". First, the definition of a gentleman, is as follows; "a chivalrous, courteous, or honorable man".

Human Analysis
Imagine, if you will, a world where everything is the same, except for ourselves. Through the historical development of this world, everything continued on our timeline, until the world war. When the war ended, humanity made an evolutionary turn. They found themselves realizing that if they continued in their ways, violence and divisionism, that the eventuality would be a world so divided upon itself, its chaotic atmosphere would become a toxic living environment.
