DISCUSSION RESPONSE:
Respond to the following classmate:
Growing up I was one of the ones who actually had little racial tensions pointed at me, but I had never cared as much. The world seems to be changing towards racial tensions with news flooding with African-Americans being gunned down, and other races like Latinos being called by stereotypical names. There are crimes that are caused by such acts by those who has a prejudice towards people who are not the same color as them. This is the reason why crime is rising, why there are gun shots in the streets, people being mugged; its because the tensions between races are getting too high up to even stop it through talk. Action needs to be taken so that this wouldn’t happen; not in the sense of violence, but more of court wise.
