Free The Taxpayers!

Michelle Malkin's blog post was very confusing to read at first. Her word choice and the way she presented it made it very confusing to follow. I found myself lost in many of the paragraphs. There are a lot of things in this blog that are unclear to me. After thoroughly reading this blog another time I realized her main focus. I understand why the perspective could be created of Michelle having biased ideas. But I also understand where she is coming from with believing that these programs should not be given funding especially if there are making those types of comments. I am still kind of confused on the whole entire story.

Racism

         I understand where many can obtain the idea that racism was present in the movie the Blind Side and throughout the main idea from this article. But I personally feel that it is not true. Although yes it may be portrayed that white people are always taking in blacks such as adoption or in this case with sports, but the movie shouldn't gain that point of view. It is a true story about something that happened. Although that it is following a stereotypical story line it is just stating facts. A white family took in Michael Oher. The movie is just trying to recreate what actually happened. If they had changed it to an African American family that took him in, they wouldn't be stating facts and would no longer be a true story.

          I personally feel that racism will always be a problem. This is because people still treat others differently. Because our nation had a problem with it in the past, many feel that is carries on. We need to escape this world of stereotyping and not look as everything said against someone else as racism. Just because Michael was taken in by a white family shouldn't be creating an addition to this stereotype. 

Real Men Can Wear Pink

          It is very true that in today's society pink is considered to be a feminine color. Yes, there are men and boys out there that will wear a pink shirt here or there, but it is very rare to see one wearing pants with butterfly's or flowers embroidered on them. It is even more common for babies to be more color segregated. This is due to the image that has been created. Baby boys should be wearing blue, baby girls should be wearing pink, and yellow is a neutral color for both boys and girls. I personally agree and disagree with this article. I feel that boys should be able to wear anything they want, and that includes pink. They shouldn't be looked at differently because they want to wear a certain color. I also believe that by having a baby wear more girlie things you are making boys and girls more equal. One problem that I feel arise's from this is many feel that by changing the perception of what is feminine and masculine could change a lot. Many feel that they want to be more feminine or masculine and by doing this won't wear something that would make it questionable. Personally I feel it should be anyone's choice to wear what they want to wear. It should be equal. If a male doesn't want to wear pink because it feels it will make him look feminine, then he doesn't have to wear pink. A real man can wear pink because he is comfortable with his sexuality.
