Whose Canon is it ?

As a child I was always taught about racism by a textbook, handout, and of course by word of mouth. By word of mouth we all know that the person who is telling us doesn’t really separate what’s real and what’s not, it is not because of their ignorance either, they just do not know. Stereotypes have always and forever ruled the world. How can we the people of the United States make a change? In literature u cannot even go by what they say anymore their conceptions of different ethnic groups are all wrong when they use different characters. People fail to realize that America is indeed a melting pot we cannot separate into a white canon and a black canon that just will not work living in America. Just like a book racism and cultures will always start one way but it will always have a suspenseful ending. I agree with my peers that most literature goes against with what is real in life when it comes to the topics of race and sexuality. Society makes you want to be someone that you are not, leading to the point to believe it is ok by using literature. If god says come as you are, why can’t society do the same? At the end of the day it all comes down to the battle of the sexes, who “The Man” really is whether he is black or white, and the idea of acceptance.
