I have to question some of the material in this lecture, however. Immediately after class, I had to clarify a question I had with Ms. Worthy. I asked her if she was for the segregation of black and white students teachers in schools. She replied that she believes black people should teach "our babies" and white people should teach "their babies". She believes it is critical for white people to acknowledge themselves as the oppressors before we can move on from the past. I have to question this segregated system that she proposes just because it contradicts the very nature of Brown v Board of Education, a ruling that desegregated schools and eventually lead to better race relations.
