Dear Edwin,
I enjoyed reading your Blog called “Bias, Racism, and Death in U.S. Communities” because your showing about the everyday racism. I agreed with your about discrimination on colour people since slavery. One part that stood out to me was your quote “ “A Latina woman sits with her boyfriend outside his parents’ house in San Jose, California. Two police officers approach the car and explain that there had been multiple car thefts in the neighborhood and the couple were suspects. While the boyfriend shows one officer his ID, the other comes to the woman and asks her to step out of the car. He then unlocks the door from the inside and handcuffs her. He pulls her out of the car, unzips her jacket and touches her breasts claiming he is looking for weapons. When more officers arrive on the scene, the original officer bashes her head into the hood of the car when she does not fully cooperate” from Faust And Peacore. This stood out to me because they arrested her with no proof about the cars that were stolen. One part I slightly disagree with you or quite not understand how racism or discrimination affected students in school who has security guards. I personally like that there is a security in my school and we haven’t had a problem.
Thanks for your writing, I look forward to seeing what you write next because I see you can write really strong arguments!

Dear Evelin,
Thank you for your specific,thoughtful comment and the reason why I added schools are affected by police brutality and misconduct is that there are more police and police cruisers near a school filled of colored/low or mid level students in other states. I know we don’t have problems with our school security guard but there are schools in other states that have problems involving misconduct on colored students. Thank you for your time.

Dear Steven Dinh,

Thank you for your very thoughtful feedback on my blog based on police brutality. I really work on this very hard and researched a lot of supporting evidence to my claims of how it impacts the community and how to solve it with the city. The questions that you told me to think about are true because how can the states and the federal government can bring justice and how can we prove that there’s police malpractice in a community. But, We will just think about it more during 2019. Overall, thank you for reading my hard work and I hope you would respond back. Have a good day and thank you for your time.

Hi Edwin,

I enjoyed reading your post. I like how you incorporated history of important protests in your description of the topic. The events you discussed had an effect on society. All the subtopics you discussed were interesting. I really like the quote you provided from Cruz. I agree that police departments should make sure each person is trained and “culturally competent enough.” Overall, I agree that this is a huge problem in today’s society, and I hope solutions will be found to benefit the entire country.

Dear Edwin,

I am interested in your post because I am also doing the topic racism and I would like to inform more people about racism. My goal is to let people realize that racism is wrong. One thing you said that stands out for me is: “The solutions for solving this topic would be to punish those who use force and violence in the communities OR have city officials, mayors, senators, governors, and the community itself to be very focused on their police departments and police officers.” I think this is interesting because your view on the solution is very good. I like this solution which inspired me to base my solutions off your idea. I would like to elaborate on your solution because I wonder how we can get city people into this major problem.
Your post reminds me of something that happened to me. One time I was discriminated from a different neighborhood because of my ethnicity. The ethnicity was African American in the neighborhood and my ethnicity is Asian. I felt out of my place going to that neighborhood because I was the only one different. Thanks for your project. I look forward to seeing what you write next because I got very inspired by your post on racism. I will definitely come back to view your post.
