I think the closest trait I have to Jackie Robinson is teamwork because during the time me and my friend worked together to help the community and we both did a great job.

The Dichotomy of Cultural Appropriation | Womanist Musings Wednesday‚ September 12‚ 2012 Cultural appropriation is the ultimate dichotomy. The conqueror or oppressor says that a group of people are worthless‚ that they are less than human and don’t deserve equal rights.

Cultural Appropriation in America is a valid reason as to why there is a prejudice and racism problem.
