Which Side Are You On?

It's time to crack down...every man for himself! If I asked a series of questions, on which side would you stand? Here's just a few:

1. Are America's School's and Neighborhoods Resegregated?

2. Should African Americans Receive Reparations?

3. Is Racial Profiling Alright?

These were questions that the class had to answer. I'm not sure how many answers were to one side, and how many to another, but personally, I had a hard time being all for one side, and for one side only. The first question was a little easier than a few of the rest. I believe that our school and neighborhoods are a bit re-segregated, but maybe not entirely purposefully. Many times in our school, we are just not accepted in other cultural groups than our own. A few times, it is our fault, because many of us do not even bother attempting to talk to another cultural group, automatically expected a certain look, and a certain answer. Other times, it is the fault of our society, which has lowered our self-esteem too low to even give fraternization a shot. In terms of our neighborhoods, sometimes it is because of our finical situations that we end up in a certain area. Ending up in the same neighborhood with those in the same culture group as you is either because of coincidence or word of mouth, with me leaning to the side of the former.
For question number two, I believe that my answer was a no simply because if we were to give African Americans reparations, then we would also have the burden of giving reparations to other groups America has done wrong in the past, and I don't imagine that that's just two or three other groups!
And of course racial profiling is never right. We cannot condemn one group because of one person's mistakes! Yes you can take polls, surveys, and statistics, but really, how accurate will it be in a few months, years even? And for the small percentage that you're documenting, doesn't it seem a bit unfair overall for the rest of the group?
In life, there's only two sides, no in betweens, but in the American Multiculturism class, there's no rules!
