Article 1
Salim Muwakkil
Data show racial bias persists in America
I feel that people should have equal opportunities for their careers, it shouldn't matter what their first name is and if it sounds white or black.
2. "When white and black job seekers has the appropriate qualifications and experiences for the postion, whites were more likely to be called back than blacks."
It shouldn't matter if the person is black and white. Black educated people are just as qualified as white people are. Blacks are just as hardworking and dedicated their jobs as whites are and should be called back for the job.
3. "White and black men with and without prison records to job interviews."
Even white people that had prison records still got jobs and black people did not get jobs just because they are black. It shouldn't matter what color your skin is.
This article I liked a lot because I never realized this in depth how racism is affective in corporate America. People don't realize how mayn factors could lead up to racism in today's world. People everyday are being out of jobs because the job interviews they are going to are being racist for many different reasons.

Data show racial bias persists in America
Muwakkil believes that racism is still alive and is still happening in America today.
1. "White -sounding names were 50 percent more likely to get called for an initial interview than applicants with black-sounding names."I feel that people should have equal opportunities for their careers, it shouldn't matter what their first name is and if it sounds white or black.

Article 2
Peggy McIntosh
White Privilege
Peggy McIntosh
White Privilege
1."I think whites are carefully taught not to recognize white privilege, as males are taught not to recognize male privilege."
This quote means that white people go on everyday and see new things everyday as other males go on each day and realize that their are much more out in the world and some of the opportunities out there are privileges.
2. There was one main piece of cultural turf; it was my own turn, and I was among those who could control the turf."
A person has to figure out what his motive was and what he wanted to do . I believe that is what McIntosh says by "turf." A person has to find their inner side and see what he can do and what privileges come out from it.
3. "If these things are true, this is not such a free country; ones' life is not what one makes it; many doors open for certain people through no virtues of their own."
People who are born white have more opportunity will more likely to succeed in life rather than those who come from a black family have to work extremely hard to succeed in their future.
I have learned from this article that people just can't always get what they want that people have to work hard for it, especially if you come from a black family and don't have as many privileges as someone from a white family. People from a white family are usually born into a world that you can do whatever you want and succeed at it with support from family and friends. On the other hand people from a black family have to show their friends and family that they can do what they can do with out being made fun of from someone else or getting racists comments thrown at them.
