woo hoo! another post in the same day!

Okay, so i also wanted to write a lil bit about the in-depth story that I am writing. This is proving to wrack my brain more than i thought it would. for my expert source, i found this guy to interview that has written a TON about racism post civil war. However, I feel that he is all pretty one-sided. He seems to write mostly about how whites are continually racist to blacks or any other dark-skinned race, even though they continue to deny it. And the problem with that is that in my paper that I am writing I want to address racism from all races and to all races, not just that whites are racists---because that's not true. anyway, we will see what I end up doing. hopefully it all works out. maybe actually talking to him, his opinions will come out clearer.

Comms 111 assignment

So, in my comms 111 class we had to do a feature story about a person that was involved in something that could lead into an in-depth story for later on in the class. Being from Alabama, and also going to school in Idaho, I feel that I see a lot of racial stereotyping, and I don't understand why this continues to exist. So I decided to interview this guy from my ward back home because he used to be part of the KKK, and  other white supremacy groups. BUT, now he loves men of all races. It was super interesting to interview him and I am excited to learn more about the topic as I finish up the in-depth story.
