I don’t hear much in the news about Miley Cyrus’s
opinion relating neither being a boy or girl. Whatever sexuality she claims, it’s
her business. But the big news buzz is about Rachel Dolezal, the current NAACP
chapter president in Spokane, Wash., who was exposed for pretending to be a
black woman. And this is news because a white person pretends to be black! Any
news about any black person pretending to be white? How about a gay person
pretending to be straight? I don’t have time for that. People tend to lean
towards gossiping about other folks business but what about events that are
affecting them now? Is the media even concerned about wars, jobs, health care, government obstruction, income disparity, racial inequality and cyber
theft? Roadways and bridges are unsafe and are deteriorating and racial
relations seem to be going backwards. The homeless population is growing and more veterans are committing suicide every day! Who will help these groups of people? These topics are just a few but they are
much more important than worrying about what people believe about themselves.
Sometimes, we tend to find excuses for the things that don't work out for us. We tend to blame others instead of taking responsibility for our actions, which only elevates the excuses. This behavior also applies to standing up for what is right. We often remain silent and wait for someone else to take the initiative instead of holding ourselves accountable. "What's your excuse, now?" is about empowering ourselves to make choices that will help us feel comfortable and confident in our skin.
