on pg. 142 sonia sotomayer's quote, "i would hope that a wise latina women with the richness of experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion, than a white male who hasn't lived that life" i like this quote a lot because it represents the people who actually experience racism first hand, rather than privilaged whites trying to understand it

on page 88 it said it was not just skin pigment, but nonwhite laziness, filthiness, etc. that made whites seem inferior. How did these qualities get put on just black people when white people can also posess the same qualities?

On pg. 17 at the top it says, the republican party now is mainly all white but it didn't used to be like that. The parties weren't separated and classified as much. I don't understand how racism back then was way worse than it is now, but now whites make up 98% of the party?

pg.1 and 2 made me realize that racism still exists today. It stated that 98% of republicans are white, and that it's a political party for whites. This made me think of president trump being a republican and the racist comments he says in public and to the media.

When it says that, "the non-lover ought to be accepted rather than the lover because he is more rational, more agreeable"etc.. reminds me of the bad apple discussion in class about how people who actually have these traits aren't usually accepted by other people because they're hard to work with and don't seem to care about people around them.
