Racism
The past couple of days in class we have been talking about racism. The thing that caught my attention the most was how much implicit racism goes around. Our society has taught us to think that white is good and black is bad. Our teacher showed us a video of a girl asking a bunch of little African American kids questions. She had a white doll and a black doll laying on top of a table and asked the same questions to each kid "What doll is the nice doll", about 95% of all the African American kids chose the white doll. Another question she asked the kids was "Why is the other one bad", the little kid replied "because shes black". It is insane how our society imprints those thoughts into little kids and even think bad about their own race. Our society needs to start to realize and try to control how much implicit racism goes around.

i agree that our society needs to start realizing how the racism is spreading
ReplyDeleteYour right about how crazy it is the way society has influenced everyone to think the way they do. Our society really does need to open up and realize that everyone is human, and racism shouldn't be a problem but it is a huge deal and thats whats sad.
