I think it's important to teach racism to everyone . I think this because people need to learn what being racially discriminated against is but also why its wrong . I have a good attitude towards this book at the moment . If we weren't reading this in class and if we were all at school I would probably check it out at the library. I don't think this book will change my opinion that racism is bad but it may make that opinion stronger. I don't have any questions about the book or for the authors.

Segregationist (history) Someone walks into a bar and can only sit on one side of the bar because the manager informs them  that they can only sit on one side to keep the races separate.

Jason Reynolds wants to let the reader know that this is not a history book although he talks about the past it is not a history book because it's better and it goes more in dept then our school history books . The main thing I was shocked to learn about was the worlds first African racist . It wows me how he was enslaved and saw his people enslaved and after being freed thought that it was ok .  I have been in a segregationist situation before with somebody.

White privledge began with the thought that white people had the purest and smartest minds out of every race especially Africans . Africans were seen as basically the bottom of the barrel. Some of the first white privelges were , if you layed a hand on a white person you would be punished and even the poorest of ehites could abuse slaves .

The new set of racist codes were ,
1 . No interracial relationships
2. Tax imported captives
3. Classify natives and blacks the same way you would do horses and hogs in the tax code . meaning they were classified as livestock and not humans
4. Blacks can't hold office
5.All property owned by a slave is sold
6. White indentured servants who were freed were awarded fifty acres of property.
These codes were imported to enslave more people for tobacco farms without the fear of black people from revolting  against the white people.

Christianity was used to support racist ideas in the past and present.

# data[].attributes.body
Christianity was used to support racist ideas because it was believed that  Christians were the same thing as white people. It was even a law that if you laid any hand on any Christian (a white person) you would be punished. This is also plays apart in why there are now so many words that portray being black or black is bad including , trashy ghetto and blackballing . I don't think there's anything we can do about this because these type of words are already so deep and so many people use them in their vocabulary daily there's nothing we can really do like I said you cant stop what everyone's thinking. Though these words are still used today they were probably used a lot more 30 years ago . We've made some progress with getting our voices heard which is great.

3. Africans are savages because they were created an entirely different species.
4. Africans are savages because there is a natural human hierarchy
5. Africans are savages because dark equals dumb and evil , and white eguals smart and .. white.
6. Africans are savages because slavery made them so
7.Africans are savages

I believe the author created a chapter for one sentence to make it clear that , ''Africans are not savages '', and they never will be . Chapter 7 also correlates with chapter 6 because of the racist codes towards Africans stated in that chapter.

Slavery and racism were basically ''stamped'' into the founding document of America mainly because of the line , All men are created equal , when we all know it's very much wasn't and isn't true . What I mean about this is all men are created equal but they're not treated equal . What about slaves black men and boys , or girls ?

I believe the author wrote the content of page 68 like that to again make it clear and make it known that it was unbelievable that black people had to follow those rules to appeal to white people , to be treated like humans for once in their whole lives.

The authors tone and verbal mood of the passage I would say is disapproval of most things and calm or tense at times. I say this because in most if not all chapters he's speaking about slavery and how it's bad which is disapproval but when's he's not talking about slavery he's either being calm or talking about another ''sensitive '',subject.
