Tom Wise- "White Swim In Racial Preference"

Key Words- Segregation, Laws, Families, opportunity, history

Authors Argument- Racial preference is the reason that our society is that way that it is, the privileged get all the opportunities they want

Evidence- "ask a fish what water is and you will get no answer. even if the fish were capable of speech, they would likely have no explanation for the element they swim in every minute of every day of their lives. Water simply is. Fish take it for granted"

Comments- i believe this is true, every day we see it going on and we just take it as the norm. blacks still do not have the same "rights" i guess you could say as whites, you see a black man in the car riding low and a cop may just pull him over because hes black and looks "sketchy", it something that we live with every day, behind every door and behind ever wall, this is going to sound childish but like harry potter where the other world is everywhere you just cant see it, racial preference is the same way, its everywhere just not out in the open for all the eyes to see it, its secret in a sense but you know that it is still there.
