Da world is a Rainbow...

ekulu by ekulu · Dec 30, 2002 · 178 views · Journal

You know what's a thing i miss that we had in school but that's not in my area or in my congregation? Diversity, racially diversity. At school there were so many different types of people always together, and it was very refreshing. Now at home and in my congrgegation all I see are african american people and hispanic people,but never ever hardly in the same place. And I barely see white brothers and sisters at all. I remeber at school we had jews and persians and whites, blacks, asians...people from everywhere... But here in this Los Angeles suburb, such diversity always runs short.

i would think it would be a place where diversity would be rampant, not scarce.

not in a neighborhood where there is not a lot of diversity. btw, i like ur use of "rampant", but doesnt rampant mean more of in a negative sense?

except when it's not

malibu #1.1.1.1 malibuOG 2001

i don't think its negative, i just meant widespread.

no. look it up. it's used in negative connotations. Like how u wouldn't say joy is rampant, but it sounds alright when you say something like crime is rampant

from m-w.com. check def. 2b:

1 a : rearing upon the hind legs with forelegs extended

b : standing on one hind foot with one foreleg raised above the other and the head in profile -- used of a heraldic animal

2 a : marked by a menacing wildness, extravagance, or absence of restraint

b : WIDESPREAD
