    Of course, I’m human and lied sometimes but ultimately never felt right doing it. Partly because my parents focused so much of their time and energy, working up to 60 hours a week at the fields, and still had time to teach me honestly.

I had the opportunity to give him a fake score, but since he is such a nice person, I couldn't take advantage of him.…

    Minority groups have faced arduous challenges in society; from either slavery, segregation and discrimination. These individuals have been taught from a young age to challenge the negative images of their community and have been taught to adapt to respectability politics.

Although respectability politics is used as a way to gain equal opportunities, it is an ineffective solution for challenging racism because many American social structures continue to be biased towards minorities.…
