"Right Place, Wrong Face" Reflection


When I finished reading the mastery reading “Right Place, Wrong Face”, I was disgusted at the fact that the Harlem police would do such a thing. It is not back in the 60’s not all blacks are bad, but then not all are good. I get that part but stereotyping is a little out dated now, it is the 21st century people can we at least get some type of sympathy, and I am amazed at the fact that some people can be that racist to, but that’s how people are brought up, just like how Coalhouse Walker Jr. was brought up to think if he worked hard, was a good person, and would always tell the truth, the world would be his “oyster”. Some things like that are life changing like he said at the end “ life will never be the same” I agree with him, because if something like that were to happen to me I probably would look at people differently, and it would definitely be an “eye opener” to view the world differently.
