So you know how there are topics you're supposed to stay away from?
Yeah...this is so not that post.

• Starting out kinda serious this week. I've heard of this exercise to demonstrate the inherent racism in our society, but hadn't seen the video that goes with it. It was eye opening.
  
  
• In fact, what are we doing to our black children anyway?
  
  
• Although this vid? Made me cry, y'all. Seriously, I cried the ugly cry after watching these people stand up against ignorance and racism.
  
  
• And while we're on the tough topics, here's one of the most reasonable Atheist vs Christian debates I've ever seen. The host makes some good (and hilarious) points, too.
  
  
• Right, now to lighten things up a bit. Although we may as well tackle another taboo topic while we're at it. Watch these homophobic people hug these gay people. It certainly made me smile.
  
  
• Also, according to this older woman who has sex with younger men, the porn industry is messing up our sexual expectations. Think she's right?
  
  
• Right, now for a complete about turn about. Think you know English? Take this Grammar Quiz and see!
  
  
• And, while you're in test taking mode, you could also try this Harry Potter Quiz as well.
  
  
• Here, have some pictures to prove that our amazing planet is amazing.
  
  
• And finally, everyone is talking about Robin Williams, and I've seen tons of posts and blogs on the issue of depression this week. Here are two that I think bring home the point. First, this one and then, this one.
  RIP Robin. You were a gift. We miss you.
