Part of Shawn Berry’s defense was that he was a bystander, not an instigator.  The jury did not believe that claim, but assuming that such a situation could occur, what is the responsibility of an observer to an act of racism. Should bystanders who don’t intervene be held culpable in any ways?  How might the responsibility to respond be different for blacks and whites?  Racist acts can range from extreme violence to a thoughtless comment or joke.  Have you ever witnesses any act of racism?  What did you do?  If the event happened today, would your response be the same?  If not, what has changed?

4-6 sentences - Include an additional comment or two about other students' blog entries.
