Today we discussed capitalization rules and had our first book check. Make sure that you start bringing your books to class. We watched a TED talk on Whitopia and did a writer's notebook discussing what Rich Benjamin had to say about whitopias. We ended class by finishing our "Let America be America Again" Final Discussion.

I thought this video was funny and also very interesting. I enjoyed his humor a lot, and I think he's very brave to go try all those new things and post a video about how he feels for everyone to see. I think it's interesting how he talked a lot about a "whitopia". It makes me sad that so many people still don't see everyone as equals, no matter what color of skin you have. I hope one day everyone won't be as segregated between blacks and whites. I liked how he just said things how they are and wasn't afraid of offending people. In my opinion, I think he is right about how unfair and not right it is to think you are better than someone, especially because of skin color.
