Sociopoly

When we played Sociopoly in class and I was in group one which was the Minority groups and I had the lowest rate of poverty which were the African Americans. This really opened my eyes how society today is so unfair for people who are already in poverty. In the game it was so hard for me to get around the board without getting finned or paying rent or going to jail. Life was getting ruff and I tried so hard but felt like I was never getting a break. Even when I would get a chance card it would be a bad thing on the card like owe money to another team or go to jail. It felt like the world was against me. This reminded me about part of the reading 29 where they were talking about the African Americans going to jail and having higher rates of jail time, and one thing that they made a conclusion on was that they are committing more crimes, and they are prone to more crimes because of the environments they are in and the communities that they live in are making it easier to commit a crime and even if it is a smaller crime they will get blamed and punished more then any other individual.
