Race and Ethnicity ENG125 September 23‚ 2013 Race and Ethnicity The two literary works that I have chosen were “Country Lovers” and “What It’s like to be a Black Girl”‚ to me they share the same theme of Race and Ethnicity.

Although‚ I am a very sentimental person as is‚ this poem struck me in a way that such important issues like ones of race equality aligned with kids will. As children grow up‚ there is a sense “color-blindness” to their peers racial differences‚ class distinctions‚ and individual dissimilarities.

There is no question or argument that on May 31- June 1921‚ a race riot took place in Tulsa that ultimately left an unknown number of people dead‚ and many more than even the highest estimates of those who killed homeless‚ humiliated‚ and horribly in debt.
