There is definitely a double standard when women of different races wear revealing clothing. I know that in my highschool, which is the largest highschool in Chicago–having a wide range of different races, if a white girl were to wear a mini skirt with a revealing tank top, (which is against the rules because you must be covered from neck to knee at all times) security guards, other students, even teachers will tell this girl that she is cute and her dress is not offensive. But if a black girl came to school dressed the same way, she would be labeled a ‘hoochie’ on the spot. Then she would be escorted to the discipline office where she would be given a lecture by a female security guard and countless others about how disgusting she looks. Then this same girl would either be sent home or her parents would be contacted so that they could bring her some clothes. But of course everyone pretends they can’t see a difference in the treatment of black and white girls, and the cycle continues…… I know that the girls in both situations should have followed the rules of the dress code, but when they don’t, it doesn’t mean that one has a right to pick and chose who gets in trouble and who doesn’t on the basis of color. They should both get in trouble. The same picking and choosing goes on in public everyday, outside of school, and black women who wear revealing clothing are being labeled ‘hoochies,’ ‘hookers,’ and ‘hoes,’ or whatever ‘h’ name society chooses. Who cares if people believe these women have bad taste: if you don’t like, don’t look. Treat people the way you want to be treated, no matter how they’re are dressed or what color they are.

I did not realize being gay was a disease. Why are people spending money to find a so-called gay gene? Why do people seem to enjoy finding more and more ways to separate people from everyone else? Will straight people welcome being “cured” of their straightness?
