From Notes on the State of Virginia

I really wasn't sure what my agenda item should be for this story. It's about Thomas Jefferson being a racist. I guess my agenda item is that Jefferson lived a long time ago and he was a racist. After all these years haven't people learned we are all equal? After all these years and all the events that have taken place in the world, why haven't people realized their fault in being a racist and to let the world and its people be at peace?

Assimilation

In this story a giral was married and had children with this man. She is sleeping around and the story made it quite clear that the man she was cheating with was an Indian. She is an Indian, but she was married to a white man. I think that race is something that bothers her, because she kept on making comments about whites and just race in general. It made me think, in mixed couples todaydo they feel this, but are still in the relationship for who knows why? Deep down does it bother them that they are in a mixed race? Does it bother them what other people think, even though they say it doesn't?
