So this week in class we talked about racism. I don't advocate racism, approve of it or agree with it in any way, however if people want to be treated equally then they need to accept the pros and cons. What I mean by this is I had a buddy in high school and he was a good guy and very good friend of mine, he was also a mexican who liked to get into trouble. Whenever he got caught he liked to pull out his go to move that went something like "Why am I in trouble, is it because I am a mexican?" He did intend it to be a joke but it did help keep him from being punished more than once. If people want to be treated equally then they need to trust that they will be and not blame racism for something that they truly screwed up on so they aren't punished like my buddy.
