Reflection #14

When reading this article one thing that kept popping into my head was racism and favoritism. Why must one group be more important than the other? Is not this land of equality mean anything to the people who are suppose to be enforcing that law? Man! People in power abuse it so much and no one seems to care or do anything about it. Anyways, I truly believe that a case can be made and should be made for institutional racism. The law is the law right? So that means it should not mean be just for one group but for anyone and everyone. These types of things (racism) should not be happening now a day but yet it is. Why is it still going on? Why are the people in charge using the law to make it legal? The reason I believe this is still going on is because the people in charge are in the act as well. They are the puppets and the strings at the same time they make the law one way and execute it in another way. Just corruption everywhere you go. They are using the law to make it legal because they feel they are superior than another group and it is their responsibility that everyone that looks like them are ahead and everyone else is on the low totem pole. Race is something man made if man did not make it, it would be here at all. People choose to categorize each other into groups. Why? I guess to feel that we have the answers to questions and essentially knowing the way things work. If we look back in the medieval days when people did not have an understanding of thing they would make things up called “superstitions”. So it seems to me when we do not understand something we make up things or we must find ways to make our self understand it even though it may be mad. It is the same way we have racism because we do not understand why someone look different from us. So when we see someone who looks different from us I guess we freak out and think “well because they look unusual then I am better than them”. A lot of the time the law makers do not come out and say we’re giving the Cubans the whole ordeal and the Haitians do not have the right; but it is the way they implement the law that shows you straight out that they are racist towards the Haitians. They should have trials where these people who are in fact racist toward Haitians and towards any group should be trialed for their hatred. This world needs a serious wakeup call to just know we are all people and we are the same.
