Based on knowledge gained from your assigned reading and independent research, prepare an initial discussion post, which addresses each of the following points:
The average American today has not been exposed to the historical (the one drop rule) or scientific work on race that created the way this issue is seen today. Current sociology recognizes that race is a social construct—meaning that there are no real differences biologically between races and it is only our attitudes and actions that give race power.
How do you think relations in the United States would be different if everyone shared this new approach to the idea of race? Make certain you defend your answer with material from the text and an outside scholarly article as required by the initial post guidelines.
