COOLEST CONCEPT #4

The coolest concept discussed in last weeks class was on race, and how it’s a biological myth, however made real in society. I never before last week’s class knew race as a social construct. It was enlightening to discover we ourselves create such a nasty concept, and that if we would all realize this we could probably do something about it. Last weeks class also further addressed that racism and race are two completely different things; however, they rely on each other. Both combined destroy people’s lives everywhere around the world, both in direct and indirect ways. The reason we all look physically different is because of the different climatic and geographic conditions. The only reason these people become part of either the “Black” or “White” race is due to somebody defining them as that.
