I notice I am discriminated against on Bubblews. My latest blog is not allowed on the front page making sure nobody reads it. Don't ask me why because I have done nothing wrong but will continue to expose my experience as it comes. Here is my latest Haiku on twitter, read the link which is my latest blog.
Racism exists
everywhere today, see my
latest blog for more
Peace.
Thanks for reading
I still cannot fathom why my account Flutterby was cancelled and then... it dawned on me. Perhaps the bubblewers are afraid of me because I live in South Africa. Nevertheless, in the...

It is unfortunate that racism is a wide spread disease with little chance of getting cured! I have written extensively about racism on MyLot, Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites. I have also posted positive antiracist quotes and photos on my Facebook page entitled, "It'sCooltobeKind Campaign". I responded to your post as an amateur writer and photographer. I have had to admit that some of the work that others submitted has been better than mine. Did you ever think that maybe it isn't racism. Maybe the work that you submitted didn't make the cut because other people submitted better work?

@Flutterby1 I know that racism is out of control all over the world and have written about it extensively on MyLot, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and on my blog, "Life in the Spin Cycle" at floridapoolbum@blogspot.com. In this case, I used my experience as a writer and photographer to share the frustration that I felt. In some cases, I was even willing to admit that the other work that was chosen over mine was better. I will edit my post to reflex this.
I am a strong believer that there is only one race, the Human Race and that we are more similar than we are different. Our anatomy is the same, some traits and habits are the same, I've seen that men are more likely to scratch their private areas in public without really thinking about it, than women do. I've heard that the blood that runs through our viens is the same color. I've also seen that hate and racism are "learned" behaviors. I try to practice color blindness as it relates to a person's ancestry or geological location whenever possible. However, I have pointed out and spoken out against people who shout racism when it suits them or they when that they can gain an advantage either professionally or financially by crying racism, the Reverend AL Sharpton is a good example of that. I truly believe that every nationality, religion, ethic, political and economic group have good people and unfortunately some bad people, too.

@flpoolbum Unless you live or travel to Africa you cannot speak for them, no amount of experience will assist you unless you are discriminated against. As to whether my work is up to your grade I will say this, I am not at school and will not be treated as such. For some reason Americans love judging others as lesser than themselves, I call it plain ol' arrogance, just because english is your first language does not make you a genius. Please dont reply, I'm already bored and you have gone way off topic, my blog is NOT about you and what you have posted online

Isnt that strange, in my experience it's usually the good ol' USA (not) who accuse all Africans as scammers and yet I watch American Greed and your country has more than enough scammers to keep you busy, but you conveniently forget about them. And what of your lobbyists who pay congress members to keep the edge, is that not a scam? Don't deny that you, like the rest of your fellowmen, believe EVERY African is a scammer, if you do then you will be the first. And no, that is not how it works on Bubblews, as you post your blog it shows immediately or it doesn't. I have experienced both scenarios. In fact my latest blog did show on the front page and that was badly written, but it did not expose any hard truths.

I dont know, it seems some blogs show and others dont show, it all depends on.... who knows, perhaps the content? perhaps perhaps, we never do get any answers, they already cancelled an account of mine due to spam and not even the mod gave an explanation, she did give a link to say we are supposed to only post our own content which I did. Perhaps I shouldnt comment on others blogs, I have no clue but I post and learn by the experience. Thanks for your comment

I know racism is part of the world though it is not as bad as it used to be.I do not think they can fail to show your article because of racism.There could be other reasons like quality,like and its influence on the society.
