where to go

The issue of race has always been a pain in the hearts of Americans. Although we have seen progress from the liberation of black slaves to Martin Luther King and now Obama, how many innocent lives and Painful souls are trampled and trampled. The deep-rooted discrimination of some white people can be seen from the teachings of Wenya's father. When he reflected on himself from reality and reassessed his previous value judgments, the conflict and resentment accumulated by the two races for many years made the tragedy come again. What choices such entanglement will make him ultimately make, we don't know. There is still a long way to go before we can close the racial rift.

Looking back at us, the ethnic conflicts do not seem to be so acute, but is this really the case? I am a protected and veiled person with immediate interests. I have no way of knowing the inner feelings of Tibetans and Xinjiang people, but even from very sporadic information, I can somewhat understand their anger or helplessness. What's even more terrifying is that we can't sort it out slowly like the United States, and gradually repair and make up for it, we can only watch everything happen as we all fall into the abyss.

  • Bob Sweeney: There was a moment, when I used to blame everything and everyone for all the pain and suffering and vile things that happened to me, that I saw happen to my people. Used to blame everybody. Blamed White people, blamed society, blamed God. I didn't get no answers 'cause I was asking the wrong questions. You have to ask the right questions.

    Bob Sweeney: Has anything you've done made your life better?
