I'm watching ballet documentary... I love documentaries and I love ballet. Well it's about blacks people of color, and how they don't get the "white people roles" because who would want to watch a black white swan? Isn't that what costumes are for? I don't see what the big deal is if the person has the talent and the stage presence cast the "colored" girl/guy because I'd rather watch someone who has great stage presence and technique then someone who just had the technique. I do have to admit that in the documentary I'm watching they have had a female of "color" dance the main character in two different ballets. So I'm glad progress is being made, but I think little girls no matte what color should be able to dream of being the priema (SP) ballerina.
I don't understand the "black lives matter" that is going on in some parts of the country. I think all lives matter, not just blacks, but white, Latino, Orientals, everyone lives matter. Everyone plays an important part in someones life.
I don't understand how some people can look down at someone of a different race and think they are the scum of the earth because of their skin color. No one is perfect and just because someone of that skin color did something negative to you, does not mean everyone of their race is bad and negative people.
Get to know someone and remember "It's hard to hate someone whose story you know."
