Back Up Your Talk

I assume if you read the blog title, you would think Im talking about me wanting to instigate a fight or something close to that matter. But its not. A little more serious that just caught my attention. But this whole blog started with a video of fighting....well, jumping actually. Theres a recent video of an Asian teenage getting jumped and beat by like 7 white teens. I saw the video and I couldnt help but feel disturbed. First off, let me say, those 7 teens are pathetic and sorry for doing such a thing. You got a problem with him, you settle it 1 on 1. 7 on 1 proves how big of sissies you all are. But back to my point, the one thing I felt was as bad as the actual 7 white kids, are the viewers who say this ISNT news. Theyre the first to say "theres killings in other countries, families lost, war, poverty etc.." Then they have the audacity to tell us to "wake up," and pay attention to world news. Really? REALLY? First off, I, as much as most of the U.S are aware of what goes on in rest of the world, so dont claim we're ignorant to the news. Second, if you are so caught up in third world news, are YOU doing anything to help better those world problems? Are you sending money to the poor over there? Are you trying to find the lost and kidnapped family members? Are you in the actual damn country, standing between a tank and a building? Have you even sent JUST ONE canned good to the hungry? My guess is NO. You know theres problems elsewhere. Good. But dont think that because you happened to catch an episode of the 9 PM news today that all of a sudden youre more aware than your peers. And  now youre offended because people publicly voice how upset they are over incidents like the 7 on 1 beating? An innocent person gets harmed, but you think its not worth gettin ruffled over? Whos ignorant now? You never want to see bad things happen to normal people, whether its a poor family in a third world country, or a single teen from a suburban family in the US.People have the right to voice their disappointment towards negative news like this, so what gives you the right to criticize them for acknowledging it? And unless you are actually doing something to try and solve these world issues, keep your mouth shut and dont act like youre making a difference. So....who needs to wake up now?

You know the deal,
