This paper investigates a book on racism and how it affects black people on their status of being rich and several other ways. Moreover, the author Ta-Nehisi Coates asserts his experience on how he was discriminated against, and how he overcame discrimination and was a free citizen. Furthermore, Coates asserts that discrimination is erroneous and wonders why he cannot live free due to race. In short, this essay analyzes Coates perspective on discrimination with my support.
Citizens need to be less discriminating regardless of race since discrimination affects citizens negatively. Ta-Nehisi Coates, author of A Place for Education, states his experience on how he was not treated fairly due to being poor and black and how Coates …show more content…
Moreover, various students face discrimination and some students probably do not believe in a happier life since no citizen is there to protect the student(s) and give them hope. Hope can be a problem in society today since billions of citizens are afraid to give hope. As stated in A Place for Education, then she asked me about “hope.” And I knew that I had failed.” (p.278) Coates’s interviewer changes the subject on him and disgraces Coates more since Coates grew up without hope and does not understand hope. As asserted in A Place for Education, “I heard you crying. I came in five minutes after, and I didn’t hug you, and I didn’t comfort you, because I thought it would be wrong to comfort you.”(p.280) Hope is a response without action. Despite Coates wanted the kid to feel better, Coates probably did not want to risk discrediting himself more by possibly risking embarrassing the person. In my high school freshman year, a girl in my class was upset.

The question is unanswerable, which is not to say futile.” (p.280-281) Coates has always wondered why he could not live a free and undiscriminated life due to his skin color. Moreover, if Coates found an answer to his question, the answer could be studied to prevent future incidents. A student in my high school, I tutored my junior was discriminated a lot during sophomore year. In the middle of sophomore year, the student got suspended at least six times and then expelled. In junior year the student was only suspended once and never expelled. Sophomore year if I would have known that tutoring or just talking to the student was all the student wanted I could have helped him prevent several suspensions and an expulsion. Furthermore, unanswerable questions about discrimination hold several valuable places in our current education system. Social Media impacts the way billions of individuals believe. As asserted in A Place for Education, “Our Media Vocabulary is full of hot takes, big ideas, and grand theories of everything.” (p.280) Media holds a variety of news, however, all of the news could be fake or true. If a famous citizen does an action, more citizens do similar actions due to the popularity
