If you didn’t know Black History Month was over, here’s your wake up call.
The fact that sooooooooooooooo many people are complaining about Rue’s ethnicity makes me realize that 1) people don’t really read (she’s described in the book as dark. When Katniss said Rue reminded her of her little sister, she was looking beyond the outer; she was comparing their innocence and youth) and 2) Social networking sites are aiding Americans in becoming more vocal about their prejudices in attempts to get commentary, laughs, etc…. 3) Some white people obviously feel that black people will no longer exist in the future. Rue wasn’t even that dark or “ethnic looking” as one article quoted someone saying. But apparently, the futuristic movie can’t have Black characters because some white people can’t imagine it. *sarcasm*

Unlike the beautiful 6-year old Jonbenett Ramsey who received coverage all over the media - every tabloid, newspaper, news channel, talk show, 7-year old Aiyana Stanley was killed by a police officer during a raid while she was sleep and her murder received very little coverage.
Police, searching for a murder suspect, threw a flash grenade through the window of her family’s apartment around midnight. According to Aiyana’s father, it landed on the couch, setting Aiyana on fire. A police officer’s gun then went off, and shot Aiyana in the neck.
Aiyana was asleep on the living room sofa in her family’s apartment when Detroit police, searching for a homicide suspect, burst in and an officer’s gun went off, fatally striking the girl in the neck, family members said.
Her father, 25-year-old Charles Jones, told The Detroit News he had just gone to bed early Sunday after covering his daughter with her favorite blanket when he heard a flash grenade followed by a gunshot. When he rushed into the living room, he said, police forced him to lie on the ground, with his face in his daughter’s blood.
“I’ll never be the same. That’s my only daughter,” Jones told.
We haven’t forgotten about you baby. R.I.P.
