Multiculralism: Just A Thought
In a world full of different people, in a world full of money, so rich in Nature and diversity, I feel that same world is still poor when it comes about values and accepting the others.
Whether it’s the fat lady at the company, the Arabian who sells carpets or the boyfriend of our neighbour’s son, discrimination still exists!
Women still get less paid but “double-job”, LGBT are still hide because of their fear of getting beaten, teenagers are still getting anorectic because they don’t want to be fat, and the list goes on…
If I sometimes think that we took one step forward, I right after have the proof that we took two backwards.
I’m not going to say that we must fight discrimination, because that should never exist. I’m going to say to you love you as you are, and let the others do the same. I’m going to say to reduce the hypocrisy that exists in this world. Because the world is full of unnecessary wars, so let’s avoid this one!

Oprah Winfrey

Born in Kosciusko, Mississippi, Oprah Winfrey was reared by her grandmother on a farm where she “began her broadcasting career” by learning to read aloud and perform recitations at the age of three. From age 6 to 13, she lived in Milwaukee with her mother. After suffering abuse and molestation, she ran away and was sent to a juvenile detention home at the age of 13, only to be denied admission because all the beds were filled. As a last resort, she was sent to Nashville to live under her father’s strict discipline.
Oprah Winfrey’s broadcasting career began at age 17, when she was hired by WVOL radio in Nashville, and two years later signed on with WTVF-TV in Nashville as a reporter/anchor. She attended Tennessee State University, where she majored in Speech Communications and Performing Arts. At the age of 19, she became the youngest person and the first African-American woman to anchor the news at Nashville’s WTVF-TV.
In January 1984, she came to Chicago to host WLS-TV’s “AM Chicago”, a faltering local talk show. In less than a year, she turned “AM Chicago” into the hottest show in town. The format was soon expanded to one hour, and in September 1985 it was renamed “The Oprah Winfrey Show”.
In June 1987, in its first year of eligibility, “The Oprah Winfrey Show” received three Daytime Emmy Awards in the categories of Outstanding host, Outstanding Talk/Service Program and Outstanding Direction. In June 1988, “The Oprah Winfrey Show” received its second consecutive Daytime Emmy Award as Outstanding Talk/Service Program, and she herself received the International Radio and television Society’s “Broadcaster of the year” Award. She was the youngest person and only the fifth woman ever to receive the honor in IRTS’s 25-year history.
