Race and the american novel project part 2

We have many racial issues in America in 2015. Some issues have gotten better and some have not. I do however feel that America has made a lot of progress forward due to racial issues, but there are still many that need to have more progress made on them.

ABC News covers these issues online. Everywhere you look you can see some sort of racism in the world. This helps me relate to beloved because the African Americans are treated so unfairly just because the color of their skin. Everything that African Americans do in the real world and beloved they get treated differently and much more unfairly because of the color of their skin.

Beloved helps inform me of these issues today because it reminds me of all of the inequality that African Americans have. I usually don’t always think like that, but when we read this it really reminds me of all the racial issues we have in the world in 2015.

  1. I am glad that it made you think on a deeper level, because the issue of racism is far from over. It seems that way to so many people because it isn't a part of daily life for them, but it exists, just in a much more subtle way that it was allowed in the past.
