Today's discussion was great, we established what everyone already knew: black's are the best athletes. I know I'm only half black, but it's still more black than any of you #holla. As for the Jewish part….you got me there. The stats don't lie. I though it was interesting the way Alexa reacted in class. Her mind was tried, and she became defensive. She did not want to be told that she was less competent and capable of advanced thought compared to another race, especially one so prevalent in our own school.
I feel like today's discussion in class brought me to a better understanding of Dostoyevsky's idea of the wall, especially in comparison to a wall of beliefs. This is the reason people like Phil and Sharon said they would not want to know if there was a God; it would go against the established beliefs they already had, and it would shatter the wall they spent so many years building, brick my brick.
