Like the time Carl was forced to participate in a one man line up while attending the National Institutes of Health (NIH) just because he “fit the description”. As Carl was leaving the campus bank he was approached by two officers who asked if he would be able to help them. The only thing the officers were interested in was the fact that Carl was wearing dark clothing and had black skin. The officers who questioned carl also happened to be minorities, however, due to the culture of certain police organizations minority officers are more likely to follow the nurtured concept that African Americans are more likely to break laws than whites. This experience was very negative for carl causing him great embracement and even filling him with rage. It isn’t natural to believe that one culture is superior to another, this is a mindset that an individual isn’t born with but learns watching those around
