Reflection Essay - Coming of Age in Mississippi

In the article, " Coming of Age in Mississippi", you see the struggles a black woman goes through to have equality with civil disobedience.  Ann Moody showed us one her the sit-ins that she had sat in and described the white race as diseased. My viewpoint of civil disobedience is different because i guess i a a white and raised with the white yes there was always blacks around me but it was never the good kind of blacks. They all seemed trashy and had low respect for themselves and i know it's not true because there are blacks out there that have very high respect for themselves and they look down upon whites. It is the same way with whites we have our trashy whites with little to no respect for themselves and then you have your whites you have a ton of respect for themselves who look down upon on the other races. I saw this post the other day and it is so true; there was a girl who was peeling potatoes and she had peeled most of them and had one left to peel. She said," no matter the marks or color of the skin once you peel the skin off we are all the same on the inside." That is one hundred percent true though. The reason i bring this up is because when Anne Moody states in her article, after the sit-in, she thought to herself and said, "The whites had a disease, an incurable disease in its final stage." My question to her is how is she going to stand and protest that we should have equality if she thinks the white race is diseased? Is she trying to say that the blacks are ot and that they are better than the white races? Neither race is diseased, it was how this country started on and it's not i don't say it is. I'm simply stating that if Miss Moody wants equality she has to think equally. Clearly not all whites are "diseased" because there was white women sitting with her and protesting with her. That is how this all started and equality won't ever end if the other race looks down on the other or thinks that they are of higher power or even that they are better. Civil disobedience is a serious thing and it's a great way to protest what you stand for. The way that most of the whites who were against the black race were acting was not right and maybe if Anne Moody thought that blacks were "diseased" maybe that's what the whites thought about the blacks too. Did anyone ever think of that.
