On the amber alert

In class I mentioned that social change changes the laws. I have an example: Today I have been watching t.v all day, and there was a child abduction and they have interupted the movies, showa and ever you have been watching to give out a emergency alert. It's been giving up dates on the suspect, what car they were driving, and where they were last sited.

deaira -- this might be a good idea for a creative measure -- to examine whether social attitudes lead to the amber alert laws or whether the amber alert laws have altered public attitudes.

On reaction to the M & Z reading

I read M.Z. Chapter 6 and was horrified at some of the stories told under the section of "Reflections on Black Manhood." My thoughts are sometimes people still try to create a barrier between white and black, in addition to hispanic and East Asian. I see it in many comedians when they tell white and black jokes, granted they are jokes they still emphasize a barrier.

bill -- interesting observation. want to explore this issue as a creative measure?

On M & Z, ch. 6

Reading Chapter 6 the Mann book, I was a little shocked. Things McIntosh listed as white privilege were things that I never really thought about. I don't think twice about opening up the news paper and really only seeing white people. It just the way things have always been, so reading this really made me think about how the society really works in the aspect of racism.

amy -- just because that's the way it's always been, does that make it "right"? we'll be discussing "unstated assumptions" and the taken for granted next week.
