    1. “You come to teach me that God is white. That I should build a house for the white man.” The black man stands with folded arms.

      Main problem: This sentence highlights the main issue in the passage about the social and racial differences between the men. The second part demonstrates the superiority the white man has and the inequality that the black man is expected to work for the white man. The black man stands with folded arms shows a sign of resistance and questioning the injustice. When the black man says "You come to teach me that God is white" a bigger issue is about beliefs is reflected and implies that the white man believes they are closer to God and favored.

    1. Today, U.S. public transportation resembles an elevator that can take you to dozens of floors, but not the one with your desk. The vast majority of Americans live within 3/4 miles of a public transit stop, but 60 percent of metro jobs and low-income housing are in poorly connected suburbs. We've reached a paradox in public transportation, Puentes says: Good transit coverage but poor job access. Across income levels, the paradox is even starker: 89& of low income communities live within 3/4 miles of a transit stop but only 26% of low skill jobs are accessible by public transportation.
