Answer the following from article 'Duck Dynasty' and Quackery by CHARLES M.BLOW

1. What are three conclusions you take away from the article? Enumerate them (e.g. First, Second and Third). Do not summarize the article - these are your "take aways."

2. Cite evidence from the article where Blow expresses that Robertson's position as expressed by his comments below contribute to human suffering and/or social disorganization."I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I'm with the blacks, because we're white trash. We're going across the field. ...They're singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, 'I tell you what: These doggone white people' - not a word! ...Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues."

3. Consider how this phenomenon, the denial of racism and the role of systematic racial discrimination in our social institutions (e.g., the justice system, public education, and the economy), contributes to human suffering. What is Robertson view? What social instiution and what racism do you see in it? How do both contribute to the suffering of others. You must identify a social institution in your answer.
