Race

"Only White people say race doesn't matter." p. 475 This is something that I never truly thought about. I am quite the advocate for not using race for anything, whether it be an application for a job or just a word in a discussion. But after thinking about it....maybe it is true. It doesn't matter to me because I'm white....yet I don't agree. I hate the creation and use of race in our country. It has become a construction for injustice that has been used for hundreds of years. Yet it is important to TEACH about the contruction of race and the injustice it has caused over years to hopefully one day prevent the continuation of injustice.
