“Sono naturalizzato Italiano, ma di origini Ghanesi. Sono stato abbandonato da piccolo e adottato da due angeli. Soffro il razzismo ogni giorno. Sono il primo nero a indossare la maglia dell’Italia. Non sono arrabbiato, ma è solo che le esperienze che ho vissuto mi fanno agire in modo diverso da altre persone. Quindi, prova a imparare come sono prima di criticarmi. Io comunque mi sento italiano, amo l’Italia e giocherò sempre per la Nazionale Italiana.” Mario Balotelli.

“I am a naturalized Italian, but I’m from Ghana. I was abandoned by my parents when I was child and adopted by two angels. I suffer with racism everyday. I am the first black to wear Italian shirt. I’m not angry, but my life experiences make me act differently from other people. Then, try to learn more about me before you criticize me. I feel Italian, only Italian, I love Italy and I will play only with Italian shirt.” Mario Balotelli.

ZKO Rollercoaster // GREAT EMOTIONS

Visualization of the 1st violin of the 2nd symphony, 4th movement by Ferdinand Ries in the shape of a rollercoaster. The camera starts by showing a close-up of the score, then focuses on the notes of the first violin turning the staves into the winding rail tracks of the rollercoaster. The notes and bars were exactly synchronised with the progression in the animation so that the typical movements of a rollercoaster ride match the dramatic composition of the music.

Amazing.

What Does July 4th mean to the African American?

Wed, 04 Jul 2012 15:22:43 -0400

breakingitdown4u:

What does July 4^th mean to the African-American? What is the significance of this day where Black History is concerned? You have to go back to 1852 when Frederick Douglas was a guest speaker at an Independence Day celebration. In the speech that Douglas gave, he made it brutally clear as to how much he despised the treatment of slaves as well as the hypocrisy and irony that was clearly obvious on this day.

He made it well known that this particular hypocrisy was aimed at the African-American population and was quite evident on several fronts. In his speech, he sarcastically refers to Independence Day as “the birthday of your National Independence and your political freedom.” However, Douglas was not a man to lose hope. Despite the fact that he alludes to how detestable and horrid slavery is, the man always saw a silver lining with this issue.

American Icon Andy Griffith dies at age 86.

Wed, 04 Jul 2012 13:39:00 -0400

Actor Andy Griffith, who played folksy Sheriff Andy Taylor in the fictional town of Mayberry, died Tuesday at the age of 86, his family said.

Best known for his role on “The Andy Griffith Show,” the University of North Carolina music graduate also starred as a murder-solving Southern attorney in the television series “Matlock” during the 1980s and 1990s. He was also known for his roles in movies and on the stage, as a producer and as a Grammy Award-winning gospel singer.

“Andy was a person of incredibly strong Christian faith and was prepared for the day he would be called Home to his Lord,” his wife, Cindi Griffith, said in the statement issued through the Andy Griffith Museum in Mount Airy, North Carolina.

Griffith died at about 7 a.m. at his home on Roanoke Island, according to Dare County, North Carolina, Sheriff J.D. “Doug” Doughtie.

He passed away after an unspecified illness and “has been laid to rest on his beloved Roanoake Island,” the family said in a statement.

Oreo Gay Pride ad sparks outrage in communities against homosexuality.

Personally I think it’s clever and wonderful. Everyone should be supported and treated equal no matter what. We are all humans at the end of the day. 10 points for Oreo/Kraft Foods.
