This week I went to Obama and Sotomayor discussion panel . The discussion panel was held by my history professor as well as other history professors discussing about the idea of racism. Since it was extra credit, I figure it wouldn’t hurt to hear what people had to say about the controversy. It lasted well about two hours and while most of the people there brought up excellent points, it was a bit too long. I am glad people are discussing about the issue because even though Obama was elected as the President,there is still a racial issue towards the blacks and hispanics out there. We need to grow up and treat everyone equally because we are in the twenty first century. This is not the fiftys and America has had its period of treating people unequally. There will always be people out there that will create terror to the society and not all of them are blacks and hispanics. In fact there are whites and asians who are involve to. We can’t look down upon a racial group of people but only the person itself. Overall I am glad i stayed because not only was I able to get extra credit but I got my book signed as well. .
