Self Identity is how you recognize yourself and how you describe yourself as and your placement in society.

I have had many encounters where I was treated differently because of my race. One instance that I still remember was when I went to the mall once with my parents and we were going on an elevator and this lady had her child on a stroller yet she decided to leave the elevator because me and my mom were on the elevator. Now it wasn't because it was over capacity because it was only going to be 3 people with an infant. Other encounters I have had was with people giving me smirks and faces that almost make you feel as if you are nobody or are not a human.

Honestly, Stamped has caused me to reflect on my personal experiences especially with racists encounters because whenever these experiences happen to me I start thinking of the past and how their racists ideas come from their parents. So I often look back at history and think of where these ideas grow.

The book has made me to start being more open-minded and to start thinking more reasonably. Even though it's extremely hard to understand old-fashioned thoughts sometimes you have to bear with them and try to think. But at the same time you have to look out at their ignorant thoughts and ideas.

I feel as if the book "Stamped" was really good because it demonstrated a lot of ideas. I did dislike how there was so much information and how all of the different ideas and topics were explained quickly so it kind of made it confusing for me to understand everything that was being said in the book. I did think that it was good though since it gave me information that I had NEVER knew. So it was good being able to learn more about things that I've never learned and that is never mentioned on books.

In class what I am learning is more of a detailed version of where racism possibly came from. We have learned more of how racism grew and how the disrespect and discrimination against those of colors was created.

What I learned from the reading "Stamped" was the different spectrums of beliefs and more of the origin of where racism came from. For example I was able to learn how people classify themselves differently based on their views. Like there are "anti-racist" "assimilationists" and "segregationists." Anti-racists are those who are against racism and believe that those of color are perfect and have nothing wrong with them while assimilationists believe that people of color can change for the better. While segregationists want to separate the different races.  "Stamped" also give me more insight on where racism grew from. It showed us how racists idea were created off of slavery, which placed slaves at the bottom of the social hierarchy.
