The call: In “Loot or Find: Fact or Frame,” the author says  “The most relevant and dominant frame is color blindness, or the belief that race is not a factor in how we make sense of the world.” (Harris and Carbado 625)

The response: I do feel like people tend to think that race is not a factor in how we make sense of the world. People tend to use race and don’t even know it us being used because of how much it is used which is shown everywhere. People think African Americans just do crime, drugs, and not attend school which becomes an economic situation. In “Class in America – 2012,” the author states “All Americans do not have equal opportunity to succeed, and class mobility in the United States is lower than that of the rest of the industrial world.” (Mantsios) This means that everyone doesn’t get the same benefits because of their class. These two readings can be similar because race could be a factor in that. For example, a white person might get the job before an African America even though they are both qualified and have the same qualities and everything just because he/she is white. The African American is losing the equal opportunity.

People are color blind to the use of race being use in the world. Economic situations can turn into a race problem because most people think African Americans are mainly criminals. Most companies and businesses most likely don’t give African Americans a chance and just go with the other person. Both of the readings can relate and tie in together because their are situations where they both became a  problem itself. Class shouldn’t matter so much because everyone works and still provide for their families. When it is divided, it becomes a problem and unfair. Everyone should get the same opportunity no matter what.

The question: Why does class matter so much?
