Re:Equality Still Matters.

 I was reading Vicky's Blog and i wanted to added to it:

"I personally hate it when people think I'm smart because I'm Asian. White people hate it when people assume that they're snobby, rich, and stuck-up. African  Americans hate it when people think they're only from the ghetto, and have no future ahead of them. And Iranian, Afghanistan, and more hate it when people only think they're terrorists. We all need to just take off these labels, and understand that we are all the same, and need to accept that. Fuck labels."

I agree with what Vicky's blog. I hate when people stereotype cause they are judging at book by its cover. I feel like if you don't know somebody and who they are than why are judging them. You only know them from what they look like not how smart they are or because of their race. I’m mix, I’m White, Black, Mexican, and Indian. So for people to judge me is dumb as fuck. People think I’m ghetto, less than and wont have a good education cause of my skin color. To me I don’t care people have to say bout me and mines cause I know that I’m make one way or another. 


People can judge all day but for me its stupid cause judging somebody off of what they. And how do you think that makes you look when you are judging someone. It doesn’t make you look any better. To me it actually makes you look like trash cause who are you to be judging someone by what they look like or their skin color. I hate people who are racist cause Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t take his life for everyone else to be happy and not have to deal with racism and for people to still be discriminating.

    You for sure said you'd be writing about this topic, and here you are writing about it, with a lot of passion backing up your words.

    Of course I'm in agreement with what you're saying here, but I also want to challenge you to dig deeper and get at the roots of WHY people judge each other and what messages we can start putting out there that will help people get past these mental habits and prejudices that we have. It is one thing to point out the problem of racial prejudice and its injustice as you do here; it is another to talk about how our culture got to be this way and what we're going to do about it. See what I mean?

    I have a book to recommend for you. It's a challenge at times, but it might really open your eyes on this topic:

    http://www.amazon.com/Black-Kids-Sitting-Together-Cafeteria/dp/0465083617

    It's in the AHS library. I used to use sections of it to teach in my classes too...Some students really got into it.
