    • 3 Pages

    The poem entitled “Kid’s race equality” brought instant tears to my eyes when reading it. Although‚ I am a very sentimental person as is‚ this poem struck me in a way that such important issues like ones of race equality aligned with kids will. As children grow up‚ there is a sense “color-blindness” to their peers racial differences‚ class distinctions‚ and individual dissimilarities. It is society‚ media‚ and family who enhance that color in such a bright way that it is almost blinding to see‚ and

    “That’s one small step for man‚ one giant leap for mankind.” With these eleven words astronaut Neil Armstrong brought the greatest technological race on Earth to its end. But‚ he did so standing on the moon‚ giving America one of the most illustrious victories in its short and dense history. Leaving behind the Soviet Union‚ the United States literally rocketed past their competitor to claim supremacy in the Cold War (a silent war for power). However‚ both countries achieved success in advancing technology

    Race Matters In America‚ society likes to believe that America is a Color Blind Society. They say they don’t see race‚ but just Americans. It has been noted that whites who are exposed to images or shows of upper-middle-class blacks‚ like the Huxtable family in The Cosby Show‚ the Kyle family in My Wife and Kids or the Banks family in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air‚ believe that blacks have the same socioeconomic opportunities as whites (Gallagher 94).

    will never be eliminated. There is no reason for us to judge people based on their looks‚ they didn’t get to choose to whom they were born. Yet so many times I find myself doing this‚ everyone does‚ even if they don’t admit it. Prejudice can have a wide range of implications on the person to whom it is directed at. I believe that lots of times we don’t see these effects immediately‚ but they show up later on in the person’s life. An example of this would be a black person who grows up in an all

     What is race? Is it “real?” Why or why not? • Race is a social construct that everyone suffers from every day. Over many decades human beans created a racial lens that separates our world into different categories based on skin color‚ hair type‚ and even how we act. Is it real? Yes and no‚ we (humans) made it real. We created this illusion that there are different species in the human race. So‚ in our minds race is real because we made it real!

    Understanding Race What if we lived in a world where there were no races? What if people were not discriminated against because of the color of their skin or because they are different from what we see as acceptable? This is what Kwame Anthony Appiah tries to examine in his essay “Race‚ Culture‚ Identity: Misunderstood Connections.” Appiah tries to point out that “American social distinctions cannot be understood in terms of the concept of race.” (102) That America is made up of so many different races that
