Kyle Stern Post 3

I have been thinking long and hard about the idea of the stratification of ethnicities, ever since we had our discussion in class, and all I've really come to realize is that society on a global scale needs to take a step back and re-evaluate they way things are done. I can be understanding of how some nations will have a harder time than others, but that doesn't mean they cannot make adjustments. Our nation for instance was able to make an African-American, President. This speaks volumes for some progress that we have made. We can do something major like that, and yet we can't get some of the most simple things, like equal oppurtunity employment right, all because an employer may think they can't hire someone because of their beliefs or skin color. It seems to be just plain backwards to me.
