Document Summary
Today"s topic relationship between agency and structure that is characterized and portrayed in search of respect. Idea of race as distinct biological category is subjective. Characterized as not only being different but equal. Different policies and laws built that everything was not equal. In search of respect we see how pre-existing ideas and stuff shape the new ideas and such that people end up having. Approach we take to get around this is not to focus on what each race does but on the consequence of racial thinking like historical and social context. Ex if u wanted to think about race during civil war you would see that certain races had control over other race. What we need to see is how race is different now then how it was then. The way racism is lived and played out depends on the social and historical context.
