"Race In America"
I really wanted to go back to this idea of race in America, which connects to privilege in America, which tires to prejudice and discrimination. According to others, "It's easy to be white" which is a statement that I sort of agree with. Here in the our community a great portion of people are on the wealthier side and own lovely houses and flashy cars. "White" people do not have to deal with people watching them when they go to the store or asking them if they need help as soon as they walk in. Its something about the Caucasian skin color that is seen as superior, or respected. The color of our skin is something we deal with everyday, even when taught equality we are are divided by the color of our skin and our economic status. The "Colored" are not offered the same opportunities as the whites in school, in work, in life, not just now, but for centuries. What steps can be taken, or should be taken to have everyone feeling like they are worthy?
