Question: Can you relate to not having equal rights because
of who you are or your skin color?
I can’t relate, well, not yet anyhow. As long as I can
remember I was given a fair chance in every thing I’ve done: School, Sports,
Activities, friends, and with the church community I was with.
I was always given a fair chance, unlike some of my other
friends and people I’ve met. I usually am given a chance for many things but
others get told that they can’t because of their race or ethnic group. People in
the U.S. try and play the race card on others so they won’t do something, I’m
Mexican but I was born here in the United States, sure there are privileges I
get over others from my race but I never complained about it because I know I
have it easier then others.
A lot of people get into trouble because they don’t have
equal rights; it isn’t fair because we are supposed to be in a “Free Country”
but that doesn’t stop employers, companies and the government from rounding up
people and accusing them of actions they didn’t commit.
All in all, I can honestly say that I haven’t been exposed
to unequal rights and threated because of my race, and I’m fine with it because
I know the more I follow the rules and laws the easier it should be for me to
get by without being threated of having no rights.
