So, I'm sure everyone has heard of the civil rights movement in the 50's and 60's. If you haven't, that's just sad. This was a huge part of our american history, and EVERY PERSON in the US you know about it. If you know more about those demonstrations, than just black vs whites, you should know that inhumane and non ethical laws (know as the Jim Crow Laws) were put into effect by the majority of states and cities in the nation. After reading through a few of these, I began thinking about how stupid these laws really were. So, I decided that I would put together a list of laws that would equate to those in the 1950's and 1960's. Now, I totally know how dumb these sound, but, hey, the Jim Crow Laws were also crazy, and let's just say it, stupid as hell. So here they are, "The Jim Crow Laws of the 21st Century".
1. No persons with differing colors of hair can be served food in the same room as each other.
2. Any person, with blue eyes, that wishes to have relations with someone with green eyes, is prohibited from that.
3. If you're favorite color is green, you cannot share a bus with someone that has the favorite color of pink.
4. There must be separate drinking fountains for those who go to public school and private school.
5. People over the height of 5'7" must go to a separate hospital than those of 5'7" and under.
6. No child with brown hair may go to the same school as a child with blonde hair.
7. A curly haired boy cannot be part of the same football team as a straight haired boy.
oh...and...
8. Nobody of a different name than "Jessica" can read this blog post.
