Black Man and PublicSpace (Lucy Jiao)

this critical writing argues that people still have a serious problem of discrimination to other colors of humankind. I totally could understand this discrimination issue. Of course this issue is happening in every where too, such as the city I was born--Shanghai.

White people used to call black people Negro, and call yellow Chinks; but now, black people call each other Niggar, or yellow call the other yellow as Chinkky. Maybe, it is how that person think about himself.

Around two weeks ago, one guy from another part of China criticizes that Shanghainess are the worst kind of Chinese. I mean, how and why would you say that?! During the depression, Shanghai was the city supported China the most; but now some troublemakers start smirching the the truth.

It's not how other people think about you, it's all because of you; when you are strong enough, no harsh comments could ever stab you or what so ever.

America is equal to everyone (By Lei Gao)

The United States is liberal and equal nowadays. We come from different countries having different belives. The same thing we wish is that the world is equal to everyone. After reading this article, I find that actually the world is not equal to every people. In America, racism has existed for a long time. The article illustrates the problem of public space appeared by racism. People usually afraid of Afican-Americans when they are sharing public spaces with black people. This is a way that seperates people by colors. Gradually, this kind of afraid becomes habit. And the distance of people in different colors is wider and wider.

Most people know that discrimination of colors cannot adapt to this society. However, people usually cannot get over the afraid of African-Americans. As the article mentions, even the strong black people with soft heart always scares others. So in my opinion, discrimination depends on people's attitudes. Everyone should try to communicate and build up some new relationships with different people in different colors.

Hundreds of years ago, the United States was created by liberal belief. Colonists from different countries lived here for a new life. Through some presidents' and citizens' efforts, this country becomes equal and peaceful. People get over slave, wars and economic crisis. For the future, with our efforts, those problems of racism can disapear one day.
