Equality

Just a Family- This caught my attention because it talks about how interracial couples in America are still struggling to be seen as a norm for family life. I connect with this because I have a cousin who just recently married a white man and they both already had kids. Her husband’s father did not support the marriage and refused to attend the wedding. This really upset me because, if America is suppose to be so past racism, why are people still struggling with interracial marriage? The high school I went to was very against it. I was always seen as the girl who did not see race. They would ask me all the time about race, and I would always say that I loved all races. They probably did not believe me, but I did not care. My high school was incredibly racist at times, and they absolutely hated interracial dating. I had a coach that told her basketball girls to stay away from the black boys. I do not ever see myself as being one of those people who hates to see interracial couples. I think it is a beautiful thing and a step forward in our world becoming more equal when it comes to race.

Cause of Prejudice-  This one caught my attention because it talks about why people are prejudice. I connect with this one because this has always been a question of mine. Why are people prejudice? Do they realize they are prejudice? Most of the time people who are prejudice were raised to see this one particular thing as the right way.
