"Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?"

(6.) “Yeah, I just found out that Cleopatra was a Black woman.”

“What?”

The first student went on to explain her newly learned information. The second student exclaimed in disbelief, “That can’t be true. Cleopatra was beautiful!”

I feel this quote demonstrates how racism has become so worldwide that many people have begun to just accept it. Not that that's the right thing to do, but it is a thing to do. If you just let it keep bothering you, you will drive yourself crazy worrying about it. I think if somethings bothers you that much, you have to just let some things slide and go on with your life. Fretting over the small stuff is generally not worth it.
