Discrimination from children or adults?

Hello classmates, today I want to write you about discrimination from white people toward black people.

All we already learned in class about the “Big trouble in Little Rock”, we know some general things, so before explain my point of view, I will do a short summary to remind you what this entire problem was.

As a general, formerly the schools were segregated; there were schools for white children and others for black children (you can already imagine what were in better condition). After a few years is created a new law that established that schools should be inclusive, I mean, schools were for everyone, for whites and blacks. In Arkansas, specifically in Little Rock, they rejected this new law and prohibited the entry of black children to the “Central High School” (previously school for white children). Because of this, came the army to escort and protect black children as they walked to school.

Now, I want to focus on that existed more discrimination by white adults than children. This is demonstrated in the case of Eckford –black girl who was spotted by a White Lady after having smiled- and Green –black boy that he was helped and welcomed at school by a couple of white children-.

In my view of this situation, I believe that adults have more prejudices and are more discriminatory and the children by nature are not, or at least not as much as adults. If a child comes to discriminate another (racially for example), is purely because is influenced by adults.

I don’t say that white adults at that time were bad and the children were good, I only say that adults have more tendencies to discriminate than children.

And what do you think? Adults are those who actually influence the children or you think that other things influence the children? Do you think that there is still discrimination against black people?...
