Ok, so for those of you who dont know whats going on or if you just live on another planet, let me educate you real quick. The whole "STAND UP, SPEAK UP" movement is generating alot of feedback and following. This Europe-wide campaign started in January of 2005 by the French football player (soccer player), Thierry Henry, who is very good looking (but I love my baby). It was following an increase in reports of racist incidents happening all around Europe. Together with Nike and other European Footballers, he is continuing to protest against this problem, inviting other Football players and fans to voice their opinions on the issue as well. So now the issue is broadening the surface and reaching out to people across the globe and with the President elect being a man of color, one can only imagine where this issue will go next. So should we leave it be or speak the peace??? I say SPEAK!!!Wednesday, November 12, 2008
