Impact of Race and Race relations on Society

what were the main arguments about the impact of race and race relations on society? Discuss how the arguments from the talk, and those from BOTH of the readings, inform our understandings of race in the global context? For example (PURELY HYPOTHETICAL), a presentation about the racialized responses to Hurricane Katrina might inform our understandings of the international community and aid organizations responded to the massive earthquake in Haiti. A presentation about intersectionality might illuminate the role of intersectional identities in violent conflicts.
