[PolitiC@Nippon] "U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA IS A DESCENDANT OF SLAVES."


Ref: CNN  
  


  
 

"バカみたいな話だと思われるかもしれないかもしれませんが、例えば今、アメリカは黒人が大統領になっているんですよ。黒人の血を引くね。これは奴隷ですよ。はっきり言って。リンカーンが奴隷解放をやったと。でも、公民権も何もない。マーティン・ルーサー・キング(牧師)が出て、公民権運動の中で公民権が与えられた。でもですね、まさか、アメリカの建国、当初の時代に、黒人・奴隷がアメリカの大統領になるとは考えもしない。これだけのですね、ダイナミックの変革をしていく国なんです。 Ref: http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/11199348/

"In the United States, the black man became a president.
Black people used to be the slaves.  Even though Lincoln did the emancipation of slaves, those black people still did not get the civil rights nor other rights that time.
After Martin Luther King's civil rights movement, finally, the black people got the civil rights.
Now, who would ever thought that black slaves could become the President of the United States back then? America is the country who does such dynamic reform."

Blogs and AdSense http://itoshunsuke.blogspot.jp/2015/07/blogs-and-adsense.html     When I see my Adsense page today, I see some numbers!! *Yay* Last time I open this page after years about 10 days ago, I found that I had made only 78 yen, and other numbers on the list were zero yen. But now, I see "+224 yen!!" This is GOOD. I will donate whatever I make from my blogs to the city of Miyako. Then, hopefully the city of Miyako will let people know by saying "The blogger, Ito Shunsuke, from Miyako has donated 10,000 yen!!" on city paper. So, I will get more traffic, and it will make even more money. Then, I probably can donate 100,000 yen next year, and 1,000,000 yen for the following year, so on. When it reach to 10,000,000 yen, I will say       *LOL*

Don't Drive and INGRESS

INGRESS is an interesting smartphone game and I have been playing months now. What is INGRESS?  Here's a wiki. Ingress (game) via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingress_(game) Players have to move around their towns for this game, so some players walk, another players use their bikes, and others drive. But you have to be very careful when you play this game and drive your car at the same time. When you get caught by watching smartphone while your are driving, you will get 1 penalty point on your driver's license and also the ticket cost you 6,000 yen. How do I know about it?

[PolitiC@Nippon] Ryukougo Taisho 2016: Japan’s Most Vogue Words of the Year

Ryukougo Taisho is one of the unique events of Japan. In the end of the year, they choose the buzzing words that everyone is using them in common during the year from TV shows, dramas, news, so on. (Sometime, it's not really used in common, but they pick those words anyway.) Last year, they chose some words from from politic, such as Abe Seiji wo Yurasanai (or "We won't tolerate Abe's politics") SEALDs, the "youth (well, there are some young folks but mostly old folks in their 60s and 70s) group" going against to Abe's politics) and so on.
