race in america

What really strike me from this CNN article black and white and a target for both. the reason it shocked me is because he say he use to get pulled over by cops just because he was black driving a nice car. i personally think all the racist cops should have their job taken away. it is not far that just because they are black means they are poor or drug dealers.He also said that he would get followed around stores because he was black. this reminds me of Tim wise book about white people stereotyping. I also wonder if the store owner would keep on eye on me more or a black male that was in the store with me. These people need to realize that we are not different we are all equal. It doesn't matter if we have different skin colors we are all human beans.

wrongful conviction

I feel the police sometime rush into solving a murder because they want to make the victims family happy. With Terrell case they tried getting it over with by blaming it on him. I don't believe it was a race issue it was more of getting the case over with. Police officers need to take there time no matter how bad the news could be to the victims family. They can not just put the blame on someone there not sure about because the person could be insistent.

Affirmative Action

      I personally believe that putting race as a admission policie is wrong. To be honest it makes us more raises that we are just letting a student into the school because of the color of his/hers skin. In the article a group of minority's say the ban of the affirmative action right is taking some of their civil rights away. If anything we are giving back there civil rights. We should not except someone just because of their color. We are all equal which means that we should all be excepted equally by are GPA, are test scores, and are life experiences. If we let minority's have the affirmative action act we would be putting minority's under white Americans which is racist. I deffently aguree with Ward Connerly,  who is defending Proposition 209, arguing that all UC applicants should be treated equally and shouldn't be classified by race or sex. Ward is hundrad precent correct because thats just putting other races under use which is making the problem wores. Also in the article Brown states that if we do consider this act it will help more minortitys to a higher education and create a diversity. I do agree with this is some exstent but minoritys can still get into a good school with good grades or a hard life experince. Also im sure that there will be enough minoritys that do adamically well to create some diverstiy in the colleges.

Denial

I believe that if you lived in a racist town with a high number of Mexican and African Americans it can help you get a job easier. the reason is that they are not looking for a good working habit but just a white person. I didn't really think the article was was convincing because one its a white person writing the storey and also i feel that racism in a lot of parts is gone. Tim Wise also said in his article that "United states, you can almost understand- not forgive, but understand such folks, especially if they're white, being under the impression that everything is fine nowadays." (Page:62) I don't not agree at all with this statement, the reason is because i never done wrong towards a black person or been racist towards one. I personal didn't do anything wrong to them and i feel bad that their ancestors had to go through that but they didn't. we are in a new age no one really is racist en less they are adult from a different time like the 90s. When i lived in the city i had a couple of black friends in the south side of Chicago that felt like just because they were black whites and Asian Americans were think that they were stealing. So when my friend left the store they started to sereached him for items that might have been stole; but there was nothing on my friend and ever since i do believe that there is racists but not everywhere.
