Ellis

I think that Ellis' story offers a credible way of overcoming misunderstanding and hatred between races for him. Ellis was a member of the KKK and he felt hatred towards African Americans. He overcame the racism that he showed towards African Americans by working with and eventually accepting them.

 I think that this is a credible way of overcoming hatred for him but I do not think that this solution would be workable on a large scale. I do not think that this is workable because not all people are going to be willing to work out the issues that they may have with another race. It is unrealistic to believe that everyone would be willing to do this. There are those who are even more racist than Ellis and I think that those people would not be willing to accept those that they hate.

Kenzie, your blog was very informative. I agree with many of the things you said, including the fact that Ellis's method of cooperation might work for certain individuals, but on a larger scale it is not viable, because many people will be unwilling to mutually cooperate with another that is different. Your blog closely resembled mine, and I look forward to more of them in the future.

Constructive criticism: make it longer...

Good job.

Feel proud.
