5. poem-
Black is Black.
White is White.
Life is always
A racial fight.
don’t date her
don’t Marry Him
he doesnt match
The color of your skin
Why does it matter?
Why do we care?
Would you see a difference
If the skin wasnt there?
They may use a language
We do not speak
They may have beliefs
We find unique.
But deep down inside
Beneath that thin shell,
You may just find someone
You know very well.
Friends come in all sizes, colors, and shapes,
And you might miss a lot
If you see only a face.
Each culture has something
Unique we can learn
To make our lives better,
Our souls much more pure.
So cast off your prejudice
Replace hate with love
And look on each person
As does your Father above.

This chapter we very insightful because it discussed the raw facts between race and ethnicity proving no matter what group you’re in it has flaws. This eventually separated us into groups that pose a minority group and a more powerful dominant group. This generated the stereotypical views that have become active in today’s society. Certain groups formulated judgments about one another that became a prejudice to all diverse groups. The media certainly didn’t stop these views but would circulated putting the portrayed idealistic view for people to absorb.
            It is hard to look away from all this judgments that are people passed from person to person. These statements about another person’s race will always be around due to out history. The present day challenge is to attain racial and ethnic equality among us all.  Slowly but surly people are dropping the relative opinions reaching a radical social chance due to the civil rights strategy. This allows everyone the equal opportunities at a given point or place among there society.
