Violence and McIntosh

1. Is violence ever a good idea? Violence can be a good idea depending ong the situation. If someone were being attacked they should be able to defend themselves and some people consider defending oneself violent behavior. We should not have to take the abuse of others just because we don't want to use violence. There are also someone people who choose not to use listen to reasons and just need to be slapped.

2. The privilleges I share with McIntosh are the fact that I can find cover up that will match my skin tone(26), I can find my race represented in music, food, and hair salon(9), and I can arrange to be in the company of my own race(1). The rest of the list she complied applies to my race and are things i have experienced or have had it happen to my relatives. I have walked into stores and have felt as though the employees are following me.
