Wow, I am very ecstatic to see such a mind-boggling sensitive and great post after a very long time.

Before I talk about my opinion, let me share what just happened today.

Since my passport was about to expire in a month, off I went to the Walgreens to take my passport picture. Shortly after, I also decided to print my graduation picture from my USB drive that the professional photographer took like five years ago.  Then, when I started talking to the white American woman if I could get an 11 x 4 size of my graduation picture, she told me that I could only if I have the permission letter from the professional photographer who took my picture.  Since, i graduated five years ago, I really don’t know the photography company's contact email as it was sent to my college email address which I don’t use it anymore so I told her that I can't provide her perimssion letter or email.

Frustrated and puzzled, I quickly stepped out of the door and drove away. After few minutes instead of getting pissed at her, I started to praise her honesty and integrity. Well it's because of white girl like Amanda and companies like Walgreens, that has made this country great.This is how great America was built and how it got so reputed all over the world. It’s not because the money or the white people, it’s because of the law that separates it from the other countries. It’s because of  the law that prevents whites to openly discriminate you for job, housing or any legal matters. It’s the law that holds people accountable for the actions that you do.

So guys, stop admitting that this country is made by whites so we need to accept racism and proceed with our life. If all blacks would have accepted it till now, Obama wouldn’t have been president nor would most of the players in NBA be black.

Last but not least, America was built by immigrants.  Whites made laws and regulations whereas minority people along with whites worked hard to make this country great, a country of freedom, a country that accepts any religion, color and language.

Peace

Sirus
