My racial identity is African American,and the struggles I have had that I can say is that differnce race think just because im a black young woman doesnt mean I cant be proper or dosent mean that I cant write or speak right, most people think that being black means ghetto and not knowing anything but thats show untrue its based on how much your willing to know and learn about a person to know who they really are.Labels in american in the younger ages group are based on clothes and it shows who,what ,and what you may have.For example if I wore a polo shirt im labeled as having money but if I dont im labeld as if im poor.In my opinion they are all the same just like black and whites are all the same everyone is equal unless u come across as someone who dosent want to be eqaul to people because being equal is on the out side but on the inside everybody is differnt and has differnt emitions but aslong as you have a great attiude and mind on right you should be someone that all ethics group should want to be around.

  1. Hi Makayla,

    You bring up some great points. Now, I would like for you to think about your experiences as an African American woman and how they are either similar or different from Rodriguez.

    Please clarify your post next time.
