Mapping Everyday: Gender, Blackness, and Discourse in Urban Context: My Take On It

This article was very interesting, and quite true.  Our society is tightly wrapped in a blanket of racism, sexism, and discrimination, one that we "attempt" to unwrap but ultimately stay bound to.  The media is so concerned with exploiting minorities, and practically point fingers on who's making society the craptastic mess it currently is.  Sexism towards women has altogether made men terrible obstructions, whereas it has made women believe that being submissive and ultimately undermined is acceptable.  The quotes made by the students, specifically the remarks about porn, sexual violence/abuse towards women, and the comment about D.C., had a particular impact on how I read the entirety of this article.  They made me think: why is society this way?  Why do we separate ourselves from one another?  Is there a way to amend society?
