By Whose Standards?

I recently read that Lindsay Lohan is the prettiest woman in the world. Yeah, right. By whose standards? I am so tired of others imposing their definitions on us (the American public) and tacitly declaring we accept these precepts without question.

For instance, I was told that Columbus discovered America and that was a lie. I was told that liberty and justice existed for all and that was a lie. There is also a lie out there about the origin of HIV. The virus is man-made and used in Africa as a way to control the population. The media convicted O.J. and Michael Jackson before their trials began. The media made Anna Nicole Smith’s untimely demise bigger than the 9/11 tragedy.

This is a country of immigrants, that is people from all nations and sporting different hues and incorporating different heritages. We need to see that diversity represented everywhere. The U.S. Supreme Court should be comprised of Blacks, Whites, Asians, Latinos etc. and truly reflect the complexion of America.

Sure, Lindsay Lohan is cute, but my female friends are all better looking. And as far as celebs go, Keyisha Cole, Lucy Liu and Vida Guerra all look much better. But then, I live in a diverse America, not a White America.
