Superbowl Sunday!
It has been an interesting, random night, but it has been so fun! The football game is going on right now, and my roommates and I invited some friends over to watch the game and hang out. We started the night with sixty McDonald’s chicken nuggets. People started coming over and the party began. The nuggets only lasted us about ten minutes because there were eight of us. We also have chocolate cake and cookies because my roommate Hannah went home this weekend, and since we’re from the same city, she stopped by my house to pick up the food that my mom had made. My friends Pam, Brittany, Laura, and I want the Arizona Cardinals to win and Sarah, Jesse, and John are cheering for the Pittsburgh Steelers. It’s been an exciting and a very intense game. There has been cooking, yelling, chatting, and a lot of eating. During the third quarter, Brittany, Sarah, Josh, John and I got into a discussion about the African American race and how we don’t understand racism. We were also questioning what to call African Americans. Do we call them African Americans or do we call them Blacks? We don’t want to be offensive and we are curious to what the correct term is. It was an interesting conversation. It was a completely random conversation and coincidental that the subject came up. It has been a really fun night so far, and I’m excited for The Office to come on afterwards. It’s nice being with friends. Hanging out is one of my favorite hobbies. I truly enjoy being around people and learning something new about each person. I wish that school were cancelled tomorrow because I love being social and don’t want to go to bed early for my 8:30 class. I am excited for class tomorrow though because it is the beginning of Black History Month and I can’t wait to learn about a culture that isn’t mine.

I was cheering for the Pittsburgh also and it was a bit tense but they won. Your free blog should center around your perspective of the black experience or African American studies, so your blog questions were good. You mentioned you do not understand racism? You don't understand that it exists or why it exists? Good questions. Also, there are two different schools of thoughts on what to call people. Do you call someone a Mexican-American,or Hispanic or Latino? Do you say Indian or Native American. Is their a preference between Caucasian,White or Anglo? Yikes....Who has the answers, well sometimes we have to ask.
