Not Too Modest Purposal

A detailed Summary of Not Too Modest Purposal

Racism is the combination of racial prejudice and power. Where most people look at racism as a kind of ugly brand of racial prejudice, we use this definition because it more accurately addresses the problems of race inequity in our country today. The biggest problem between the races right now is that the majority group has succeeded in keeping its economic and political power and not allowing other groups to share it.

Therefore, the problem we must address is how to go about sharing power and dismantling systems, which perpetuate our social inequities. These inequities include a vast difference in income, education, life expectancy, and so on. These are the strongest evidence of racism in our country that have allowed our society to continue to have mostly segregated neighborhoods, segregated classrooms if not segregated schools, segregated churches, and segregated social institutions.

Now I propose a solution that I am assured will come to pass as a new and more safer way of life for all Americans. This new structured lifestyle that all will eventually succumb to will provide those individuals the ease and comfort in which all can exist in this country. As I have mentioned above this country is mos

I will conclude now with ease of mind knowing someday with the help of my proposal my future children will grow up in a country that has did away with racial bigotry. So that we all can look forward to something better than the bleak mess of racism.

I will attempt to go about segregation of the country by dividing up the states among the different races of our fair nation. I will start with our friends from the south, being those of Spanish decent and language. They will in turn be given those states bordering Mexican with the small exception of Northern California. I see this region suiting them best since most of the fields they already work exist there. Along with this region suiting them is the fact that when their cousins rush over the border they won't have to be rerouted to the part of the country containing this particular race. To put this race anywhere else, say Michigan, would just be silly. Besides everyone knows Mexicans don't like the cold.

Lastly I come to whites, which have dominated this country as the majority since the beginning. I propose moving them all to the east coast and northern states of that region. This would include everything east of Michigan and Illinois, and north of Tennessee and North Carolina.

The next minority group, which took some careful consideration on where to place them, was the Asian and Pacific Islanders. I finally settled on Northern California along with Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, and Washington. I figured this would be the logical place to put them. Their families could live in the Northern states while their children could attend the northern UC's which most already do. Another reason this being an ideal place for them is that many of these states rest on the cost, so we would not have to spend much on rice importation through the country.

Fourthly a new sense of pride will cross over this Great Nation like a plague. Fifth higher standards all over the country be created due to this new pride in on
