Journal #8

Reading in Obama's and Clinton's speeches about how the problems that we usually associate with the minority population are growing faster in the white majority population than in the minority population caused me to reconsider my thoughts. Discrimination is taught as I had said before. However there is another cause that isn't taught. The need to blame someone else for your problems combines with teaching to form general discrimination. Many people look at someone who doesn't look like them and say "you are the reason that I'm..." or "It's your fault that I'm." America can't afford to wait for things to turn for the better. America as a whole needs to change, now.
