Why do these men and women have to travel this far of a distance to work everyday? This people are on welfare traveling these great distances trying to provide for their families. Leave at five or six in the morning and don’t come back until later on in the night. That is not right. These people go to work in fancy, expensive restaurants, five star hotels, and even the malls to make minimum wage. Minimum wage, in one’s opinion, should be for teens starting out in the work force.

Racism has become a big problem in America in the past century. Having segregated schools, and water fountains, many blacks and civil rights leaders demanded for a change. Blacks would undergo a major struggle to be treated equally and fairly and to get respect. Blacks in the entertainment business broke all color barriers but when they stepped out into the real world, they were the average person out on the street. With the formation the KKK in the late 1800’s, racism wasn’t truly geared to the blacks. Whites who were in this organization hated people that weren’t their skin color. But they also hated Jews, gays, basically someone who wasn’t like them. They would go out on killing rampages against anyone who wasn’t like them, or did something that they didn’t like. That is still an issue today.

Another example of racism and sexism is the book, “The Color Purple” by Toni Morrison.
