Something to Ponder


Instructions:  Read the written prompt and respond.  Your response should be at least 10 sentences long.

Have you ever felt racist yourself?  Be open and honest about this because even tiny things like a sarcastic joke or an internal opinion can be included in racism.  Why do you feel as though you have formed this opinion and do you want to change it?
