FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):
EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV).
The article feels that no matter what people think the government must regulate it some how, "moral issues generate social concerns which, in turn, must be dealt with by political means."
The article also states that mans thoughts should not be regulated by the government because they are his own, " thoughts and affections of men cannot be legislated; the secret hates and prejudices of an individual heart are not bridled by any law."
The author believes the Racism should be regulated by the government, "The government of the United States should make every effort to insure that each individual is allowed his or her “inalienable rights” as outlined in the constitution"
The possibility of people not being able to coexist is not to hard to believe,"we as a nation of diverse peoples will never be able to coexist without prejudice and fear, the twin roots of racism"
,Sometimes Race doesn't have anything to do with why you didn't get the job," applicants are carefully scrutinized and shrewd employers know just how to weed out those prospective employees who don’t have the “look” that would best “suit” their establishment" they do whats best for the company. 
 
 Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION): 
The source attempts to explain the difference between whether or not racism is wrong. The came to the overwhelming conclusion that it is and should not be allowed even though it is free thought it cant be acted upon in work or other facilities. The writer feels that its okay to think a certain way but its not okay to express it. 

Credibility of Source:
Author or Site: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the site. What is the purpose of the site? Who funds the site?
The author does not display their name and it seems that the purpose of the site is to explain that it is acceptable to feel a certain way but you cannot ruin others lives because of what you think. The site also is not funded by any major companies so it is for personal interest.

Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business? 
 
The author has nothing to gain because it is a universal problem that cant be solved by this article.
Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing? 
The author does not favor any one side and give decent examples in favor of both.

References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility? 
The author does not have any sources but it doesn't harm the article because it is purely their idea.
 
  Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project? 
I will use this source as a counter argument as to why some people feel racism is okay if they feel that way.
