2. I'm so sick of the divisions between people! |
|
I'm so sick of all the groups we put ourselves into... I hope one of these candidates does something about it when they get to the White House... outlaw our bigoted ways of talking, our racist labels... our stupid ways of staying divided.

4. it's part of political science |
|
Different demographics have different needs. One thing I've learned as a poli sci major as well as my work in social service is that we can't look at all groups and assume that they have the same needs.

5. Needs is one thing... race is another... |

They aren't always interchangable... and we'll never get rid of racism until we stop dividing people up like cows, buttons, and cars.

6. It's a tricky line, the melting pot vs. cultural identity |
|
I'm not sure that treating everyone like they are the same person is the way to go. We should be able to celebrate the differences that we have instead of looking at them with division. I understand where you are going with this, but I'm not sure how to look at it.
