I am taking an online social problems class. Two women responded to immigration and urban problems by one stating African americans and latinos in her neighborhood are primarily responsible for the "bad" neighborhood she lives in. Another responded she was scared of african men who pass her on the street, and that many are disrespectful and always trying to talk to her. I responded by saying she should seek help, that all men were not this way, and that the way she thought was scary since I am a parent raising african american boys who will one day be men, that I guess they will never have a chance in the world with people who thought like she did. My online classmate responded by saying then call me racist if you want, its your opinion. Was I wrong to respond to her comments afterall we were suppose to do peer review of each others comments.

I don't think you were wrong at all! This is an issue that directly affects you, and a stupid one at that. It's unfortunate that racism is still so widespread in the world.
Maybe you should add your thoughts about the causes of immigration and urban problems under your response, to point out that you are informed on the subject and give them some information.

no it wasn't a silly answer at all, you were just trying to tell them that not all black people are equal; also, the more education the people can get, the more they can get respect from others

Good for you for stranding up against
her racist stereotyping of people.
Perhaps the information found in
these links would be of help if she
or others try doing that again:
