I'm learning more about racism right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is how the people treat each other. I was researching this question online, and this poem caught my attention because It tells how people treat African Americans. The title of the poem is called "Racism and Capitalism." Here is the quote I chose "We are the people And you cannot lift a finger for the immigrants Without the courage to raise your fist In defense of all of us And you cannot solve black poverty Without solving all poverty." The quote I chose here is basically saying African Americans are not going to be equal like normal human unless they fight with their individual rights. I think this is not right because people used to treat African American like slaves. African American don't have rights in everywhere. When the rich kids passed by the cities, they were told to be careful with their wallet. It makes me wonder that we, as human being, why there are difference between people? Are we equal to each other?
