- My response to IBe story is that i find it crazy how changing where you live can have so much of a affect on how you preserve and judge yourself to a point of where you start questioning yourself and your beliefs. When i was little i never notice how much my skin color defines me as a person to someone of a different color and when i started middle school that’s when i started to notice how some people didn’t want to be around me or would start to judge me and even being followed around in a store when i’m with a couple of my friends just hanging out. so this story had reminded me of the things that i had gone through in the past that really shaped the way i look at the world that it is today.
- What i got from the quote was that even if your a POC and not doing anything people will still judge you and even if your not showing the emotions you still feel it. sorta like we rage in silence.
- I cant think of any that had happened to me or around me but i can remember one from a show i watched called everybody hates Chris in one episode there was a new student in class that was black and since Chris was the only black student before that the teacher said in front of the class that Chris must be the most exited one out of every on else to have this new student start class and he wasn’t comfortable with that, when they show his face it had a confused look on it.
- It is very important that the student feels like they belong in the classroom. if you don’t feel like you belong that can bring your morals down and make you want to not be in that class at all which could result in either ditching class or not wanting to learn when in the class which will affect their education heavily.
- My high school was pretty good when it came to how diverse it was. As a black person how whiteness has been shown to me is by how they act and act around others because when your a poc you have to act a certain type away when around people that you don’t know.
- Yes i do think conversations about race should be in schools. not in like elementary but in middle school. because it is good to teach people how other races where treated and how important it is to educate yourself on the mater of others so that you know how they feel. And for some kids they learn from their parents and if the parents are racist most likely so will the kid. but if schools were to teach about race in schools them the kids will know that what their parents teach them are not OK.
