‘Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it. It’s up to all of us – Black, white, everyone – no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out. It starts with self-examination and listening to those whose lives are different from our own. It ends with justice, compassion, and empathy that manifests in our lives and on our streets.’ — Michelle Obama

if the past has shown us anything (see: the civil rights act of 1964), it's that the rights of any minority group, whether it be a minority defined on the basis of ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion, shouldn't be up to a majority vote.

time to speak up; hence, the blog reset. i hereby declare a preemptive new year's decade's resolution to regularly post something on tumblr (or whatever blogging tool comes out in the next ten years). i can't be quiet anymore!

if anything, it'll be good practice for the writing section of the MCAT
