For Angela- Response Journal

Everywhere in the world racism happens and people that see or hear it do nothing. Like in “For Angela” she and her daughter were on the bus and the boy’s that were on the bus too made fun of their culture. The boy’s said that Angela’s mom was a drunk.  After that she found the courage that no one else would have in order to stand up for her and her daughter for what the boys said on the bus, even though everyone just stood by. Angela’s mom went to the boy’s school and talked to his principal.

  I think all the people on the bus stood by because they didn’t want to be made fun of or didn’t know what to say. If I were on the bus and listening to that I would try to help, even though I wouldn’t know what to say. Racism makes me feel bad for the person that it is happening to. When you hear racism how do you feel?

          Have you ever thought of how much racism is in your society in which you live in?  Well there is lots sometimes you hear it and sometimes you don’t, but there is some in every society. I think in my society there is racism and every time I hear or see it I will try to help them.
