In the packet, it says that the top ten wealthiest people in the U.S. are all white. Do you think our society shapes this or it is just a coincidence? Furthermore, 24.5% of black people live in poverty. Do you think that these numbers are by chance or by racism or anything else?
i personally believe they are chance just because these people are some of the most intelligent hardworking people ever and i dont even think racism can put down intelligence and hard work
ReplyDeleteI do not believe that it is by chance. I believe that oftentime African Americans are not given the same opportunities in the workfield as other people. Segregation is something that African Americans have struggled with for a long time whereas White Americans have never faced that problem, allowing them more time to build and flourish in the work industry. Also, i do think the amount of poverty amongst African Americans has something to do with the fact that they are victims of racism, but not entirely.
