RAP MADE UP OF DONALD TRUMP QUOTES IS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS








SUMMARY:
Last Thursday in the episode of “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah”, that is an American news satire television program, talked about Donald Trump, who is candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States. These program criticized the policy of this political.
The correspondent of the program, Roy J. Wood, says that Trump doesn’t belong in the White House but the things he say belongs a rap video because he doesn’t respect women, he brag about his money and in his political speeches always fights. That’s a very funny comparison with his policy.
But the comparison was carried just because he made a rap music video using Tramp quotes as lyrics. This song is called “They love me”. We can see this hilarious video here.
 

MY OPINION:
In my view this is a funny satirical music video where we can see the crazy thoughts of this politician that can be dangerous for the world. I think that he can be dangerous because weeks ago we went to Germany to visit concentration camps and we study the Second World War where in the beginning Hitler hadn't a lot of followers but then a lot of people began to think like him. The candidature of this politician is another check with other events more terrific like terrorism that humanity didn’t learnt about the past and history because if we watch the news we can see how the same mistakes of the past happen again.

WHY THIS INDIAN WOMAN IS USING 'BLACKFACE' AS SOLIDARITY


 

SUMMARY:

Ms. Jaya, a Young woman in southern India, decided to paint her body with collyrium, a type of dark eye shadow, every day until 125 days, even when she step out of her home studio, to protest against the society that is so prejudiced about issues of gender, caste, color and creed.
The origin of this protest was because a student at the University of Hyderaba, Rohith Vemula, killed himself on 17 January after alleged caste discrimination on the campus. That’s the reason about the beginning of her protest. She told the BBC: “The news stung me and I thought of this way to express my solidarity with the Vemulas of India."
While she was doing her experiment she also realize that "Caste is closely related to color and whatever is black is not welcome in the Indian society”. She say this because some people, during her protest while she was painted, they called her Putana, a female demon from the Hindu epic Mahabharata, or even they started shouting at her.
For a lot of people the color of the skin is so important and, in many South Asian and African countries, people coveted fair skin hence darker-complexioned men and women bleach their skin.
Ms. Jaya explained and vowed that, the last day of the protest, she wants to plans a big event with a gathering of Dalit writers, artists and activists where she will give a classical dance performance and then release a book with her experience. She also say that wants to explore new ways to send a message to the society and she thought that this way was the better way to protest against that aspect of society.

OPINION:
I totally agree with Ms. Jaya because I can’t believe that in 21th century most of people care about caste and color of skin but it is the reality: the society’s mind didn't grow up since years ago when black people or women were depreciate. Well, maybe it has improved a bit but with this news we can check how humanity are.  I also agree with the way she use to give a message to the society because I think that is an infrequent way and maybe society reaction to this experiment. So I want to say that we have to remember that all of us are humans and we must not worry about the skin or social class because this facts can means nothing. We are humans that, a part from our personality and ways to think and live the life, we are equal.
