What I have learned
I learned a lot in Kieth's class especially from the synthesis essay. It was the most challenging essay i had to write this semester.It was very hard finding a common link with in my articles and being able to write a four page papaer about that link.I learned that it is very hard not to use words and terms that people consider racist. I already knew that racism was way beyond just black and white but it was interesting sharing my stories of experienced racism and hearing others stories too.It was very difficult writing about race especially with my two articles talking only about black and white racism and not being biased.I always have in the back of my mind being racially profiled or called a racial slur.Not being able to move past skin color and racism is part of why the idea of race still exist. I think that some people will always have racist ideas and opionions.I do not think race will stop being an issue anytime soon.I think that the concept of race and the ideas of racism have been around for to long and people just have to ignore and live with people opinions no matter how hateful or ignorant they may be.

Why is our society so obsessed with race and why aren't people today able to move past the color of a person's skin. Black and white people have been around for ages, so is it that some people can not get passed this problem when they have know it their entire life?
ReplyDeleteIt's sad to think that we can't get passed the way people look based on skin color. The idea that we may have to just suck it up, move on and not let it get to us is, I think the general approach to try and get passed racism.
ReplyDeleteI agree a lot with this posting. I did my synthesis on race also, and these are some great points. I do think the concept of race and the ideas of racism have been around for WAY too long. I love this.
ReplyDeleteI agree with lottie! For people who have not I expiernced really do not understand. I don't think people want to believe that racism stil exist. My grandmaother has been through rascism and my mother and even me.It still exist I have seen it and been through it!!!!
ReplyDeleteSome people have also known racism all their lives.If an idea is taught to you all your life like race and racism it hard to move past it, so it continues to exist.It is sad to think that people just have to "suck it up" but i think thats what has been going on for a while now and people seem to be all right with it because racism still exist and its not really openly disscused.When it is discussed its always portrayed that the race card is a cop out even if it is an actual case of racism.
