This article also includes a little jargon in regards to her belief that Jay-Z should stand up to racism. “It wouldn't be the first time "dirty money" was flipped and used for a better purpose", Roxanne states.

Distressed by this unprecedented upsurge of mass fury, which needed federal troops at some places to establish peace, the then President, Lyndon Johnson, set up an enquiry commission formally known as the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, which later on became more popular as the Kerner Commission, after its chairman, Otto J. Kerner Jr. While ruling out any conspiracy, the commission identified racial discrimination, poverty, high unemployment, poor & inadequate schools, poor health care and sanitation as major contributing factors to the United States’ racial apartheid.

Individuals can easily become tired of the hate that divides one society into two. Joint efforts of individuals that are bound by non-violent values are the pinnacle force in resolving a brutal conflict.

On its website, the church describes its activities: “WBC engages in daily peaceful sidewalk demonstrations opposing the homosexual lifestyle of soul-damning, nation-destroying filth.” (God). Their rationale for these demonstrations? “Perceiving the modern militant homosexual movement to pose a clear and present danger to the survival of America, exposing our nation to the wrath of God as in 1898 B.C. at Sodom and Gomorrah, WBC has conducted 44,659 such demonstrations since June, 1991, at homosexual parades and other events, including funerals of impenitent sodomites (like Matthew Shepard) and over 400 military funerals of troops whom God has killed in Iraq/Afghanistan in righteous judgment against an evil nation.” (God).

For some it is a religious tradition, and for others it is a family tradition. The irony of American acceptance of this practice is that most Americans are appalled by the ongoing enforcement of female genital mutilation in other nations such as Africa. No matter the reason for its use, male circumcision is genital mutilation that has not been proven to be medically nor universally religiously necessary.
