Community Service/ Implicit Racism

For community service I coached the Jr. Patriots wrestling program, for four practices and a tournament. During my experience I felt what it means to have a role in society, which most deans don't experience yet. I felt the power of contributing to society by having control and help mentoring kids in wrestling. I would teach kids wrestling and critique them on there wrestling skills. Well during the tournament I helped coach a kid i was coaching pinned a kid and the other kid got up and whipped his head gear. The kid I was coaching came up to me and started talking about his match he then asked if the kid was so mean cause he was black. I was taken back by what i heard and then realized thats the way the kid was brought up to think, the people he grew up around some how effected how he thought. its then i realized that i too was kinda thinking that not realizing what i was thinking. Im racist sub-concisely, its crazy how you can be something and not even realize it.
