Society is built around people in majority groups and people in minority groups. People who are in the majority groups show discrimination to people in minority groups. We learned about the question of reverse racism and of the question of weather it can actually exist. Reverse racism puts us to question of if minority groups can discriminate against the majority group or if they have built up animosity for what they have been put through. There is also the question of if what the majority group does to the minority group if it is the same for the minority group to do the same thing to the majority group. We looked at how at the Mississippi college some students put a rope around the statute of the first black student. We talked about if it would be the same if there was a rope put around a white statue would the reaction be the same. The discussion turned into that it would not be the same because white people were not discriminated in that way. I feel that minority groups have as much right to discriminate against majority groups because we are all people and one group shouldn't have more right over another group. While thinking about groups showing discrimination to other groups I began thinking about how we find it acceptable for blacks or other minority groups to act white but we find it unacceptable for whites to act black. Not only is it unacceptable to act like the other group but whites also have to watch what they say in front of black people this leads me into the video that I found which is 50 things white people cannot say in front of black people.
