Brief Return

Wow it has been a long time since I posted. I am really behind on a lot of things. I doubt that anyone will even read this. I hope that eventually you will read this. This quarter I am taking sociology. It is a very interesting class. What amazed me was how it doesn't sugar coat anything it just tells it like it is. One thing that it said was that race was a creation of society to give reason for existing social inequalities. That was real deep to me. Last year in my Political Science class the book said that in American society that the balanced is tipped in the favor of whites and that minorities often get harsher punishments for the same crimes that whites commit. Then my History text book stated how the lingering effects of past racism still exist in American society, for both blacks and whites. I find this to be interesting because I thought that the racial problems that this nation faced were swept under the rug and basically ignored. This shows me that maybe more people are addressing it than I once thought. What I want to know is what do you think about the racial issues in this country. do you think that there is a problem or are some people just reading too much into somethings? I would love to know what you all think.about this issue.
