Information about race.

Prompt #1

What is race?

Race is the type of person you are that is like if you are hebrew, jew, white , black etc.. but the race is just a word because we are all equal. "This is the frist film about race to focus not on individual attitudes and behavior but on the way our institutions and polices advantage some groups at the expense of others" (The power of an allusion). This quote shows how races want to separate people, people think a different race make them more powerful than the others and that is not true, we are all equal race is just a word. In the movie we cuold see how white people had more benefits tyhan the others just because of being of " White race". I really think race is just a word for different customs, or different skin color people have but really at the end we see all people have eyes, nose, hands, ears, and that is really the same for everybody so race should not separate people or give more benefits to others when the truth is we are all equal.

Prompt # 3

What are the power of priviledge (gender, race, economics, etc)?

The power of priviledge is how people for having different races get to have more power or more benefits than the others, just for their skin color they have more power than the others.  "We see how benefits quietly and often invisibly accrue to white people, not necessarily because of merit or hard work, but because of the racialized nature of our laws, courts, customs, and perhaps most pertinently, housing." (The power of an allusion). This is a clear example of how a race through history starts to make more powerful to some races just because nature has put them in the top and with more benefits than the others. During the time of the slaves it is clearly shown how white people had the total control over tha other races, and how they could do whatever they wanted like if the other people were animals, and it is just because of a skin color. I believe to get to have a big power you should win it by working hard, helping others, and making a difference in the worls, not just gaining power by being born in a white family.
