Beyond Race

My first reaction to the article and its statistics shocked me and appalled me because I am a person of African American Decent and it seems like everything was working against my ethnicity and it seems as if everything is automatically working against me since birth. Shortly after reflecting on this article I started to think more into the issue and I went beyond what was on the surface. The article is not just stating that there is a problem with the way certain races have it more difficult it is stating that many issues have got to deal with our history and us being born into issues. I think as a society we favor those with more money and who make up a smaller percentage of the whole population. As a country we give them more such as with tax cuts and power. We should not let this happen because each person should have the same value but in our society the value of a person with money is much higher than a poor person, which is sad. The article is really sad and it is saying that we should step up and do something, but it doesn’t provide any solutions but I think that is good, because people rely too much on people giving them answers instead of thinking of things on their own.
