Chapter 3 and 4 (Mar. 29)
When it comes to oral how you look is important. People want to feel like they can relate to you, but when he did his speech people judged him. Native Americans called him apple because they said he is red on the outside, but white on the inside. Where he thought that when he dressed like a Native American he was their entertainment. I thought it was crazy how white people would examine Native Americans to see what they were like when they first saw them. They looked at them as if they were wild animals when the only thing different about their appearance was their skin color. I just don't understand how so many people could judge them in such a negative way. I liked this statement in the book about white people will so quickly pass on Christianity and those practices, but will keep little of that themselves. I agree with that comment. Sometimes people are so eager to preach to others and judge them that they forget to take a look at themselves. Christianity should be about being kind to others and accepting them, but all the whites were doing is hurting them and trying to change who they were. In the book it talks about horrible things people have done to others make and excuse for it. The whites hurting Native Americans, Germans and the Jews there is always a way that people justify the cruel things they do to others. A man named cooper says how God makes all of us, but each skin color has different gifts. Whites he thinks have gifts of reason and Native Americans have instinct. I just can't believe people actually think that two different skin colors make you like two separate creatures.
