Gisselle Campos Reflection 10

Personality this week readings were good I especially enjoyed “Too Latina to Be Black, Too Black to Be Latina” She spoken about her first “Race crisis.” It was very motivational especially since many go through this same problem. Williams emphasizes the struggle she had when she transfers from New York to North Carolina and had to struggle with identifying herself as Hispanic or Black. In the end she realizes that she “embraces every aspect of her identity” because identifying herself as what other people wanted her to only make her feel like she did not know herself. As for “The power of identity politics by Garza, the reading was interesting because it provided a lot of examples on how identity politics is viewed. As I went through the reading it gave me a better understanding on the struggle Black people face, also the problems rooted in those that do not want to acknowledge that there is a problem. It will be hard for those who have power to give it up and try to see the oppression Black people faced but at least it should be acknowledge
