6. State one thing that you learned or one thing that stood out to you from the unit required reading, optional reading or audio material in this unit. 

  
1. The statement where are you from? or where are you really from, i use all the time. Not because i am racist but because i am curious. My opinion i be interested by the person not in a sexual way but coming from a loving ,fascinated type of vibe. 
2. No we do not live in a post racial society, there are still senseless hatred crimes towards minorities that are happening as we speak. For example the conviction of a state trooper that shot an unarmed black man over 76 times in georgia.
3. My opinion on race is that we focus too much on our past instead of shaping our future, yes it does exist but to a certain extent. I would say it is a social and biological construct because it can be taught but it can also be passed down from generations.
6. One thing that stood out is the lady that spoke on the podcast, she said she thought the lady meant by you speak proper for a black person. I don't feel that way, I feel there are all types of race that speak regular or not as proper, so if a person gives a compliment black or white saying you speak proper its most likely because you do, not because she thinks you speak well for being the race you are.

1. the way we balance our racial inequalities, family, career goals and struggles and still continue to prosper. For example how we have to work five times as harder to get that promotion or get that degree. How we have to maybe use every resource possible and still not get accepted into the university we would like to, or how we have to work for over ten years and still not qualify for that home loan we so desperately may need. While other people won't ever experience these same inequalities. 
2. Strengths are being smart, strong, intimidating, ambition, or willingness to over work ourselves to qualify for positions. Challenges will be how intimidating we can be to others, how strong minded we are, how some of us are not ambitious at all and satisfied with the bare minimum, poverty and racial injustice. Why, because for some of us this is all we know or what we are taught or conditioned to. For example so many people on section 8, waiting on their mother's section 8. So many people depending on welfare and satisfied. 
3. Because what the parents were taught i.e values, morals, racial behavior, work ethic etc. Now will be taught to their children, and most likely continue to be taught for generations. 
4. The physical and emotional factors, I feel weather we want to or not we still have to teach our children how to interact with officers, and people of the opposite race just to remain alive

6. The fact we have to inform our children of racial inequalities and how to interact properly with opposite races. While other races may never have to touch bases with their children about these topics. But for us its' literally life or death discussions.

Definition of race refers to physical differences that groups and cultures consider socially significant.

Closing Statement: The definition of race and what it means to be African American

1. diversity issues
2. big role, they mold that child's confidence, and can shape that child's future; major impact on a student's ability to learn and feel valued.
3. it affects their confidence, makes them feel they are only subject to a portion of learning or career goals.
4. they take these low expectations and limitations onto the workplace and everyday life. impacts the ability to achieve.
5. educators should focus more on uplifting and assisting the children to where they should be instead of grouping them in a certain category.
6. I learned when educators and adults put certain limitations on kids they limit their ability to learn, not because the child is incapable but because that is all that is expected from the educators.

1. imposter syndrome also called perceived fraudulence, involves feelings of self doubt and personal incompetence that persist despite your education, experience and accomplishments.
2. it puts a limit on your ability to achieve or accomplish your career or educational goals.
3. it discourages you
4. race and gender seperates people into a certain category of what's expected of them.
5. one strategy that would help is not focusing so much on race and gender and focus more on that persons ability and ambition.
6. One thing i have learned that imposter syndrome is real and affects a lot of people including myself.

 1. confusion, doubt, trying to understand were you being too sensitive and overreacting, or did that person know exactly what they were doing.
 2. crime, less fortunate, less worthy, less knowledgeable, single parent, father gangbang, in jail, on drugs etc.
 3. african americans are often disadvantaged by multiple sources of oppressions, race, class, gender identity, sexual orientations, religion, etc.
 4. we tend to start to believe either purposely or non purposely, these biases that are bestowed upon us. For example the white guys and the flight attendant, me I would of just moved not realizing she could of asked the men to move being that they got on after us. Just because i'm use to and comfortable being in the back of airplanes, busses, etc. 
 5. https://youtu.be/CIJkGV5wJz4
https://youtu.be/X-zFgX3zqTI
I choose these two videos because it shows white privledge at its finest, the first one ahmaud arbery is devistating could you imagine what would of happened if it was two black guys taking the law into their own hands killing an unarmed white jogger? The second is another clear example of how white men can basically do as they please and to society its' ok why because they were white men protecting their neighborhoods from danger. 
 6. try to be understanding, ask follow up questions, for example instead of me just moving to the back of the plane i would simply ask is there a reason why. As she would have proceeded if she insisted i would have simply continued to escalate the situation, as in as to speak to pilots or someone who is over her and if not resolved wrote letters, emails to corporate and file complaints. 
7. The airplane incident stood out to me because i have so many interactions or situations like this that i don't even realize or get offended or think anything of it.
