It also does not mention that she called the parents of the young white boy, only Maya's parents, like it is their problem alone to deal with.

I would have asked where he heard that word, and what he thinks it means. Then I would have explained to the young boy why saying that word is so bad, and ask him to apologize to Maya face-to-face.

He was following him and Riley had to use everything his mother taught him when speaking to him. The officer thought he was the person who committed the robbery a few streets over.]]> 2020-10-18 01:16:28 UTC https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/838118509 faithohara https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/838123392 It is upsetting that Riley's mother had to prepare him so much for this interaction he was going to have. Because of Riley's race, he feared his safety when talking with someone who is supposed to make everyone feel safe. No officer should racially profile anyone and accuse someone due to the color of their skin.]]> 2020-10-18 01:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/838123392 faithohara https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/838125255 This just was another example that this is unfortunately reality for people of color. It helped me learn that this can even happen to people at young ages. This just gives me more determination to promote the BLM movement.]]> 2020-10-18 01:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/838125255 faithohara https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/838125881 This is affecting our daily lives in the United States. All over the news, we see how police officers are discriminating against people of color with examples like George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. As a person supporting the BLM movement, part of my daily life is raising awareness of this topic to all.]]> 2020-10-18 01:33:40 UTC https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/838125881 faithohara https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/838127184 If I was there when this incident occurred, I would have been there for Riley. Anyone who has to fear being around a police officer needs someone to be there for them. If it became any more than a conversation, I would have gotten involved and helped Riley.]]> 2020-10-18 01:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/838127184 https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/842824269 Jose, a 16 year old boy who immigrated from El Salvador, describes the first time he learned what American racism meant. One day he was walking home from school with a friend when they walked past a white couple. The couple started whispering about Latinos and immigration, and Jose knew they were talking about him and his friend. Jose also mentions at school he feels like he is not excepted by his classmates because he speaks Spanish. He recalls a time where a student told him "this is America. You should speak English". ]]> 2020-10-19 21:04:29 UTC https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/842824269 https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/842845488 As a group we all found the incident really upsetting because the white couple were really disrespectful to the boys just because they were speaking a different language. The boys weren't doing anything but walking home from school. It is also really upsetting because that couple don't know what Jose went through in oder to come to America he left behind all his friends and his entire family to escape the gangs and to have a better life. ]]> 2020-10-19 21:14:34 UTC https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/842845488 https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/842865016 If I were there when the incident occurred, I would have been there for Jose and his friend and support them. I would have also approached the couple and told them that they should be more respectful to the boys. I would have also told them that they have no idea what Jose went through in order to get to America, and ask the couple to apologize to the boys. If I saw other students in class not being friendly towards Jose because he speaks Spanish I would have been his friend and told the other kids to be kind and that if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all. ]]> 2020-10-19 21:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/842865016 https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/842875833 I learned from this experience that racism exists both inside and outside of the classroom. It also showed me that it can happen to anyone at any age. ]]> 2020-10-19 21:30:14 UTC https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/842875833 https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/842880897 As future teachers, we would need to support all students and make sure they feel included in the classroom so that they are comfortable in their environment. We should also be aware of instances of racism in the classroom and be able to handle them properly. ]]> 2020-10-19 21:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/842880897 https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/852379208 A young girl was covering a trump rally when a group of young men walked by her. They laughed and made a racial comment toward her which caused mixed reactions from her.

It strikes me as being very sad that someone standing waiting for food has to be struck in that type of way.]]> 2020-10-22 13:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/christinamartin3/1lz02032czklyn76/wish/852408828
