In response to the video that we watched in class, I felt extremely emotional. For me, I did not realize how much racism was incorporated into the daily lives of blacks and whites. It made me feel sorry for the black people that they had to go through such hard times. I think that blacks should be treated just like the whites. I think this because if everyone treated each other equally, we would live in a society where everyone would get along. In addition, I think that it is unjust how the white people treated the blacks. Beating and killing black people for their own pleasure or even if they didn't follow a certain order was inevitable during those days. Today, I think white people still feel racist against black people, but it has improved greatly. I am glad that today we do not treat others, including black people, with such disrespect like the whites used to do towards the black people.

hi! i completely agree with you. that video was very eye-opening and i was repulsed by how African Americans were depicted. i am glad that society has changed since then. c u in foods!
heyy! I know that we talked about the video on the way to history, but I have more to say. I understand if you have a valid reason to respectfully dislike a certain race or group of people (everyone is entitled to their opinions, whether they're wrong or right), but what really angered me was the graphic pictures shown of an african american slave who was whipped. That made my so angry to see that physical harm was inflicted upon these human beings because of the color of their race. (fateeee&desttttttt<3)
