Pilar Nelson - Post 1

I am African American. I cannot remember the first time I was awareof the race and ethnicity issues. I kind of feel like I always knew. Growing up me and my family never really talk about these issues. It was just something we personally deaedl with and accepted as just life. My views on these issues definitely change overtime, it is something that I no longer keep quite about but I speak out against hoping to make change throughout the world. One experience of racism that I been through, was when I was applying to a job in a mall back home. I was confident that I would get the job and when I did not I wonder why? I ask a friend of mine who work there why she thought I did not get hired? And she told me that she did not want to say anything, but she overheard the manager say that he does not hire black people because they cause too many problems. I remember being upset and never speaking or doing anything about it. If I could go back I would had spoke out or act out against it some type of way.
