sunday bloody sunday
U2 once sang about bloody sunday when british paratroopers opened fire upon a group of unarmed and peaceful protesters in ireland. 13 people were killed then.
yesterday, no deaths were reported, but i feel extremely saddened at the events that took place on cronulla beach in sydney, a city that i have called home on and off for the past 6 years. and what scares me even more is that if i had been there, i could have been a victim, since i have been mistaken for a lebanese before.
equality amongst races is all talk. it's funny, because my boss just used the phrase that "equality is just skin deep". the sad truth is that racism is just that.. skin deep.
