usually i would refrain from making blanket statements or using skin tone, but the history of loss of empathy for another living being due to a different skin tone needs to be addressed.

the solution to this is to see humans as people first. to stop trying to classify and label them... growing up i have had only a few white friends who i would die saying they transcended racism and treated me with respect, honor, and kindness to the utmost degree. it is because i see that they existed that i know that striving for the rest to know better and then do better is the course of action we need to take.

for example. i resonate heavy with mark walhberg's film and tv work. i resonate heavy with kenneth coane, my italian best friend from when i was just a kid. kyle kanzenberg. we used to play hockey and soccer together wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back when. christopher bonomo and sandy. damn yo sandy gave me my first spiderman comics. and i sat next to courtney galiano lol she ended up on dancing with the stars. had the biggest crush on her in 3rd grade, ms brodski's class...

reminds me of this kid justin on bus 53 at mandracchia sawmill (the schoool i went to with all my aforementioned friends) and he ended up on an MTV show. his dad was billy joels drummer i think...

speaking of which, we should bring back MTV's made.

i'd want to do a congressional one where a kid like me who always wanted to make a difference or any freshman progressive essentially gets surprised by like, Barack Obama as their Made Coach. or maybe AOC. or Bernie. for showbiz Barack would be cooler and more motivational as he's a former Pres. Plus that kind of mentorship is a once in a lifetime opportunity. someone to actually learn from. with real experience.

He would teach you statesmanship and conduct and negotiation of peace talks but also have fun moments and talk about maybe having a family in the white house and what it meant to be a great leader.

I like the fact that even recently he's thought about ways he might have gone further, and is sharing those thoughts, because he understands that this is a lifelong mission and we need to continue doing good deeds and good work to preserve any type of positive legacy.

Anyways, peace out and good vibes to all sentient beings reading this.
