The Alienating Racist System Creates Much Damage to Those Targeted

question 33

Essay

The alienating racist system creates much damage to those targeted by it. W.E.B. Du Bois once described being black in the United States as being a person looking out of a deep mountain cave. Invoking Plato's Allegory of the Cave, Du Bois described life behind the veil as being imprisoned in and cut-off from the dominant world of whites. Based on your understanding of racial barriers in education, why do you think Du Bois drew on a cave metaphor?
