This summer hates my childhood I think…

R.I.P. John Hughes

I can’t stand it, with these 80s icons going on to the hereafter. My childhood had just stopped weeping for the Gloved One, and now this.

According to IMDB, John Hughes, the director of the 80s “brat pack” films Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club, as well as the writer-producer of blockbuster hit Home Alone, died suddenly of a heart attack in Manhattan on Thursday; he was 59.

Atwater City Councilman Gary Frago has sent at least a half-dozen e-mails to city staff and other prominent community members containing racist jokes aimed at President Barack Obama, his wife and black people in general. His excuse… I’m not the only one that does it.

I’m getting ready to revamp this blog, so posts will be short and few in between but for now, enjoy!

Watch it! PROM NIGHT IN MISSISSIPPI

For some reason I believe the next generation of people will look back on all the stupid antiquated ideology some of us try so hard to hold onto in this century. Seriously, I think our kids will look at us and think what a bunch of nut jobs. “Wait, so you had people who didn’t like people because they have a different skin color?” “What, you people who had problems with gays?” “What the hell is an anti-Semite?”

HBO is airing a documentary during the month of July called, PROM NIGHT IN MISSISSIPPI. It tells the story of Charleston High, in Charleston, Mississippi. Although the school might look like any other high school in America, this one up until 2008 was still having a segregated prom. In 1997, Oscar®-winning actor Morgan Freeman, a Charleston resident, offered to pay for the prom, under one condition: that it be integrated. Though his offer was ignored, he made it again in 2008, and this time, the school accepted.

In my opinion that’s only half of the jaw-dropping moments of this story. The real sick to your stomach feeling came when several of the white parents forbid their children to attend the integrated prom. That’s right folks, teaching racism to your children is still acceptable. Scary.

PROM NIGHT IN MISSISSIPPI debuts MONDAY, JULY 20 (9:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT).
Maybe one day some of these more “traditional” thinking people will wake up and realize people are people. At least that is my hope for my two-year-old niece. Let all the dumb go. Trust me you “real Americans”, you will be amazed at how happy we are on the other side.
