Black leadership

Hello,
Today I went to black leadership. I cant lie I enjoyed it. Although I still believe that I am not them it was nice to be in a room with all black people. It felt like Africa you know. Basically my whole life ive either been in a room with a couple black people and all latinos or all americans but it was great to be in a room with all african americans. You know what I noticed? All african americans have diffrent features and it made me think of what part of africa they came from. Like I was thinking you know how some african americans have big lips? Isent that comment with west africa? And the really tall african americans are probably the masai tribe because they can average for men like 6'2" which isent short in my book. and Its cools to know that. And I also learned that the whole point of african americans step danicng is to "get in touch with their roots", because its like an african dance apperently....(lets let them keep believing africans dance like that ok Samira?)

In the beginning of the day we started with an insperational speaker. It was great. The first thing he did was pick 4 people from the audience to do a play. And he picked two boys as a driver and two girls in the back. Then cued the dj and whatever you like turned on and he said something like it ain't a car without the right music. Then ofcourse the guys started driving like thugs and the girls started dancing in the back. Then he put something up in front and set the senerio. One of the girls in the back was a thug, saw a cop behind them and threw her handgun in the from seat. Then he became the cop and the guy got arrested because he was closest to the gun and blah blah blah. The girl got away with it. Then the speaker goes we all love T.I.s song right? And everyones like yeaah. then he goes wheres t.i. and in a less proud voice the african american community goes....jail. For what? gun possesion. oooh. anyways we started talking about important stuff then we ending with putting our dreams in our hands in the black power sign then putting it towards our heart. There were a lot of black power signs btw.

After that it was just the girls with the kansas house of reps lady Barbara balled whos pretty great. We talked about male and female relationships. and the girls raised their hangs to say everything they hate about guys: liers, cheaters, obssesive, etc. You know what makes guys suck. Then we all said what we love about guys and this girl said "When their black" and everyone gigles. you know the senerio. After that we went to a leadership worshop and played a team work game. And then we had lunch.

Its so steriotypical what they feed us every year. Chicken. You know im not gonna lie I love chicken. a lot. But on the bus the first thing they guys and girls said was I cant wait till lunch. We get chicken and mashed potatoes and some soul food. And you know everyone agreed and it seemed kind of like a medea movie. haha. Anyways it was delicious and during lunch we got to see the step team and the dance team. The hip-hop dance team was great but this one caucasain girl got kind of booed which was sad. She was trying and imagine you performing in a group of people in a whole diffrent race. doing "their" dances.

Afterwards we went to a diffrent workshop and we seperated into what we're intrested in. I went to the art section and it was nice. Lots of lawrence people I hadent seen in awhile then it was time to go home. So theres this guy......and hes really cute. Like the way he acts and his personalitys. he did upset me a little in one way though. the minute we got out of black leadership him and his friends were checking out this blond girl! There was 100 million black people around and he waits till he sees the blond to be intrested. I got in a really awkward situation with him once. It was at a dance and i looked cute if I say so myself because I actually tried. I did my hair, makeup the works. There was this good song and you know guys get behind girls and they bootey dance for them, i guess. I myself have never done it. But my and my friends was dancing and his friend got up behind hana a friend of mine. and she started getting down and stuff. And then he was standing there and I was dancing then his friend goes "get behind that girl right there (pointing at me) you dont need a white girl, she'll "get" you." He looked at me and I looked at him. I was trying to send the message with a halfish smile like your cute I like you but im not shaking my butt in front of your face. I just kept dancing and he kept standing there.

But he reminds me of this guy that i knew that died. and he was great. I think about him upthere in heaven sometimes. It makes me want to cry so im not gonna talk about it much. But anyways i kind of like the guy. I dont know exactly what hes like but ive seen him be really sweet and hes got this great smile. Anyways its a crush i wont ever date him...most likley. Oh and hes shortish. which also adds to the cute factor. But lets be honest, hes no prince charming :)
