I believe that Baldwin would still see the exact same problems in the world. Although we may have made a lot of progress as far as reducing discrimination and promoting tolerance- there is no way to eliminate rascism or predudjice against any people. Baldwin writes a lot as an individual - from his individual experience and I believe he would have very same experiences regardless of the time period. As you stated in class today, rascism hasn't gone away it has changed form - I believe Baldwin would feel similarly

Does the idea that we can never eliminate racism and prejudice completely imply that we have no responsibility for promoting tolerance, or no reason to expect tolerance? Again, I ask, what can we do in our own part of the world to make acceptance the basis on which we deal with each other? How does what we are studying perhaps help in that effort?
