Racism In An American Dilemma

It appear that we have been investigating the cause and effects of race and racism for quick some time, as middle age adult in the year 2015, I feel that we have run into a brick wall which seems too hard to break though, to wide to get around and runs to deep to get under.

Mr. Myrdal was commissioned by the Carnegie Corporation to investigate “the Negro problem,” right in here in the United States of American. This Swedish gentlemen was chosen for a few reason, some being that his country was assumed to have little to no history of imperialism

At no point in my adult life did I realize that I was following a pattern that would be looked at as endogamy when I accepted the proposal from my husband, all this time I thought it was more about what I found appealing. And as it relates to exogamy, I find it actually embarrassing to think that our country only forty-one years prior to electing the first black president ruled it unconstitutional in all states to prohibit interracial marriages. I must acknowledge I have grown as it relates to colorblindness; I am in agreement with Taylor’s view when he states “We should be willing to examine the forces that make us who we are, and that use us to create and maintain social arrangements, particularly when it comes to race.
