What those people failed to consider was by Washington pushing the idea of skilled work it allowed blacks to be incorporated into society with a skilled job.

Everyday we analyze situations and then we make decisions based on those analyses. Often times we do not every realize we are making decisions because they are so unimportant. When you went to the coffee shop this morning before work, did you even look at the menu before you ordered your usual cup of coffee? Some decisions, however, are much more important.

Benevolent racism is claiming racial profiling is help saving black people lives. White people agreed with racist laws such as the stop and frisk law in New York.

practice law from those that are to uphold the law. Eleanor Roosevelt once stated “justice cannot be for one side, but must be for both sides” (wisdomcommons.org, 2014).
