In response to Nadira's Perez( blog)..

In response to my classmate Nadira Perez blog, she mentions that racism is a popular cause that we as society has abolish and keep away knowing it exist among us. Our society faces through hard struggles of racism and racial profiling. Living in a city like New York City we experiences millions of people of racial ethnicity walking to the busy streets of New York. She mentions Tannenbaum’s book Slave and Citizen the title of this book made sure to separate and distinct whites from blacks. Black slaves were minority much less than a human. Who were citizens? White men? Why would white men be granted that wish of liberty and social life why wouldn’t a slave be granted this wish to? Even though in our generation slavery doesn’t exist and we don’t have a racial hierarchal structure. We still struggle from predigest toward society. “I acknowledge a stereotype is foundation of people’s minds” (Perez). I agree with Nadira’s quote because even though the slave trade era is over, we still face discrimination toward other people culture in the other hand society has blinded us by keeping away in secret stereotypes, is no surprise that everywhere we go there’s someone talking about how other look and talk. I’m an example of racial stereotypes and culture my parents are Mexicans once people hear that they rapidly believe I’m “immigrant “ and hoped the boarder from the U.S. This shows the lack of ignorance some people have towards others. I believe that we live in a cold world of prejudices even though we might not see it still exist among us.
