Being taught who you should be around, fall in love with, be happy with, is having someone live your life for you. So while your going through school, and getting your education keep that in mind. In school they teach you how blacks were slaves, and how they want this and that and everything else back for the pain they went through, but how many teachers or schools teach you about how the Irish men worked at low prices and sometimes nothing for the white men? Just because a white man once owned a black man does not make him superior. The educational system in the US denies equal access and opportunity to children and adults of color, especially those who are poor. How will any one ever learn to do something, if the government is saying one thing, and the schooling system is doing another? It’s making the government look like a bunch of hypocrites. Equal attention is not pad to the negative impact of societal forces, such as racism, and segregation, nor is enough attention being paid to educational systems that discriminate against students of color and their families. “If a man calls me a nigger, he is calling me something I am not. The nigger exists only in his own mind; therefore his mind is the nigger. I must feel sorry for such a man.” (Dick Gregory, The Shadow that Scares Me.) When going through school you’ll notice that some of the kids are not or will not be treated fairly, thus the educational system is also being hypocritical. They proceed of saying one thing, and doing complete opposite. Being taught some facts, but not all has a very important impact on your life, and it also helps you to realize things, and if you know of black men working for white men, and not know of white men working for white men, then chances are your more raciest towards all the white men, for trying to be more superior.

Racism is throughout all areas of employment. For many members of oppressed racial and ethnic groups, there is always depression, wither economically, or emotionally, or mentally. Often people of color are the last hired, and the first fired. There is a growing shortage of manufacturing and other jobs that people of color have historically held. In February of 1995 the unemployment rate for African Americans was 10.1% as compared to 4.7% for white Americans (Berry,1995). The unemployment rate for adolescents of color is almost four times that of white adolescents. “When blacks are unemployed, they are considered lazy and apathetic. When whites are unemployed, it’s considered a depression”. (Jesse Jackson,1941).More than enough employment areas consist of white men and women, not of color. “We all need a little color in our life” (unknown, The Shadow that Scares Me). “Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one
