Trip to the Charger Game
On Monday Night I went to the Charger game, against the Broncos, and the first thing I noticed about our culture is how we disrespect. Yes, rooting for your favorite team has been America’s Pastime, but the way some individuals go about it the wrong way. This greatly shows how some of us look at gender and race in America. Most of the fans said many racist things to each other, swearing, and saying an insurmountable collections of things that could hurt someone with verbal abuse. Obviously I wasn't affected by it, but it made me connect to how slaves, and African-Americans must have felt when they were ridiculed, how hurt they must have been to get smashed with words, and even physical abuse that really effected them in the long run. I should have said something, but I didn't want to take part in what they were doing and bother them. I just observed and notice that even their body language exalted racism and the way they spoke to some woman that walked by, whistling and making them all uncomfortable. I just observed is all, and I noticed that our society has been part of an ecosystem of race and gender discriminations, and thats how its going to be for a long time ahead into our future as well.
