I Wish People Would Stop Beating People Black and Blue Sometimes.

Hey guys, it's me again.

This time, I have a little bit more of a sad story to tell you guys this time. I actually have a really really sad story, now that I think about it.

It's the story of Rodney King.

Mr. King (not Dr. King Jr.!) was born on April 2nd, 1965 in a little known town called Sacramento, which sometimes is mistaken for a really good movie called Memento, which is a metaphor about a moment in time that was frozen forever. I learned about metaphors in my English class today, when my teacher made fun of me for not using them in the way William Shakespeare intended them to be used. Sometimes metaphors can be used to tell people something in code but there was nothing secret code about how he made me feel that day in English so I guess you could say he didnt use any metaphors to tell me what he thought about my metaphors. He made me feel really badly about myself, and he also ridiculed a girl whom I call Rodney King, but that was for different reasons. She wrote a paper that didn't follow the assignment he gave out in class, and he made her feel really badly. It was a day of bad feelings in English today. Both Me, Rodney, and Rodney King, were all made fun of for serious issues in our community like the color of our skin and metaphors.

:-(

Rodney king wasn't beaten for his bad using of metaphors though, he was beaten by the color of his skin. Beating someone for the color of his skin is wrong. I guess you could say they beat Rodney King Black and Blue, which is wrong, because they beat him based on the color of his skin, which is black. Rodney is a champion of strength, and it was rumored that he screamed "People I just want to say can't we all get along sometimes and not beat eachother black and blue based ont he color of our skin?!" which was thought to inspire the widely famous line from the number one hit movie in America about Greeks fighting the Asians, "300", in which the warlord screams; "This is sparta and I will not let you beat my people black and blue because there are 300 of us here to fight you!". It's a really powerful moment in the movie, except for one thing. He kicks a man who is black into a eternal well, which is wrong, because you shouldn't kick a man into an eternal well if he is black, because of the color of his skin. I notice these things, and it makes me sad racism still exists in hollywood, but I guess I'm still waiting on the world to change.

That's a song by John Mayer, off of his new hit album "Continuim". It's really good, and should be nominated for 8 grammys, I think any less would be a crime, which is often defined as "beating someone black and blue" which is a crime to. Besides that it is really really good, Rodney King is rumored to rank "Continuim" as one of his favorite albums of all time. It's reported that Rodney King said ""Continuim" is a really good album, because it teaches us not to beat people for the color of theyre skin and actually helps us fight rasicm in hollywood sometimes I believe and I think it should win at least 8 grammys." Rodney King and I might not agree on how many awards it should win because I think it should win around 9 or 10 because of its positive messages in musical expression but at least we don't beat each other over the color of our skin, and we can learn to agree, but disagree at the same time, which I personally find inspiring, I don't know about you.

In conclusion, I think that Rodney King was a hero, and that he taught us all a lesson when he got beaten Black and Blue. Thank you Rodney King, I think your sacrifice taught us all a very valuable lesson, and inspired the hit box-office movie, "300".
