Teenage Girl Fled to Syrie to become a "jihadi bride"

This to me was a major shock to me because I knew this girl. We went to school together and throughout the all this time I've known her I would had not imagined her going to such extreme. No one really knows if she actually went voluntarily or if she was forced. Also with all these article suggesting that she did go voluntarily is making this situation any better. To be honest the media is only viewing this story from one perspective.

This is really interesting to me because on one hand I understand where he is coming from but on the other hand I would imagine many others would disagree with his opinion.
In my personal opinion I agree with Morgan Freeman more than I disagree with him. This is because he says something’s that are very interesting I.E. questions such as 'you going to relegate my history to a month?' To a certain extend he is right in asking that and it also got me thinking that as well. Are black people still being overlooked in this day and age? If not, where is 'White history month?'
