I thought yesterday’s lecture was interesting, and I thought the video was really intense. I couldn’t even imagine going through a day at school where people pushed me, made rude remarks, and even threw food at me. I respect those nine teenagers on many different levels, mostly because I know it is something I could never persevere through. I think that understanding the different barriers each ethnic group faces is very important. I liked the slides that were shown, but I would like to get deeper into the situation, for example, why do African Americans make less money than Whites? I thought class was really interesting when our teacher started to ask us how we would describe American culture, or the mother’s role in America, nobody could. It just goes to show that American is really becoming a melting pot. I personally just don’t think everyone is willing to accept this, but progress has obviously been made.
