The advent of the internet and social media means that a simple “hashtag” can connect hundreds or even thousands of people Claudette’s story would have had the potential to go viral within minutes had a such a scenario played out today Claudette bravely stood up for what she believed in and was a pioneer in the fight for racial equality. However, her story went largely unnoticed, She was deemed unworthy of attention by a few and was largely unheard of by the many She had a voice, but no audience In this social media age, everyone has a voice that can reach across the globe within minutes, Racial injustice can no longer be ignored or swept under the proverbial rug.
Topic: racism

While there are many aspects of social media and globalization that are less than ideal, the #blacklivesmatter campaign shows how powerful of a tool the internet can be. Racism still exists today, and egregious acts comparable [0 the way that Claudette was treated are still happening, The difference, is fhat today people like Patrisse Marie Cullors—Brignac and Damon Turner can help insure that these atrocities do not go unnoticed.
Topic: racism

The first step to solving problems is addressing them, and social and racial injustices are being addressed far more frequently than they have in the past. For Claudette Colvin, she had seen enough racial inequality and knew she needed to make a stand “ Why should I have to get up because a driver tells me to orjust because i‘m black? Right then, I decided I wasn’t gonna take it anymore I hadn’t planned it out, but my decision was built on a lifetime of nast experiences.” (House) Whether it be Colvin in during the 50‘s, or Cullors-Brignac today, people eventually reach a breaking point where they have seen enough injustice. The major difference between then and now, is that Cullors-Brignac was able to share her frustrations and rally people much more rapidly than Claudette Colvin. Due to the fact that information travels so rapidly, there is inherently a greater potential for rapid change. Does this inspire hope for the near future?

Although racial inequality is one of the least talked about issues in America today, there’s a majority of people who support the subject, To take action in this project I created a Facebook page titled “Racial Inequality” which is encouraging others to help spread awareness of the subject as well as urging them to see no color and look past a person’s skin, After promoting the page and sharing it with family and friends, it received over 40 supporters within the first day and is continuing to receive more, After doing some research I discovered there are many different races that face some sort of discrimination or injustice, The four different groups focused on in this project are Native Americans, African Americans, Muslims, and Hawaiians.
Topic: racism

It was only a few decades ago that they finally decided to stand up for the equality they deserve. Even today there is much lack of respect for the Hawaiian race as well as the cultures and traditions behind it. Numerous Americans are belittling the Native American culture with the ‘Indian’ mascot portrayal; mainly displayed in a sporting event. These ‘lndian’ mascots and logos aren’t honoring to Native Americans, but instead create stereotypes and this is what causes others to disregard their identity. Along with this issue there are more that they seem to be facing.
Topic: racism

Natives are constantly being stripped of their land by the government and constantly facing violence, People are taking advantage of Native women, as they are more likely to be raped or sexually assaulted than women of any other race. They are also struggling to keep their language alive. Educators that want to teach the Native language and cultures to younger people have to deal with a depletion of funding Since 9/11, Muslims have struggled to survive in America. One would think that the discrimination against Muslims would have died down a bit since the incident, but it hasn’t and is unfortunately still alive. The daily struggles they are constantly facing includes: getting through security checkpoints, undue surveillance, and finding employment and housing without facing discrimination Many Muslims are quite upset at the idea of being labeled a safety threat in a country founded on tolerance and freedom One of the most popular and recent protest happening in the world today is the Black Lives Matter movement. Starting in 2015 many African Americans were being killed by police actions.
Topic: racism

The issue is the people being killed are being killed for no reason, Majority of them are innocent and more importantly unarmed; leaving the officers with no good motive for their actions. The biggest upset with this protest is people are saying that all lives should matter not just black lives. Though the whole point of the movement isn’t to say that all lives don’t matter, rather instead itjust focuses on the group specifically facing cruelty, School education plays a big role in inequality of many races as well. Students are expected to engage in courses that don’t depict the reality of their life Majority of schools aren‘t covering the contribution of black political leaders as much as they cover white historical figuresl There are also issues with schools failing to reveal historical information of racial groups in an accurate way In a McGraw»Hill calling the slaves ‘workers‘ who ‘emigrated’ to the States downplayed history textbook the true portrayal of slavery.
Topic: racism

Another similar situation involved a passage in a textbook that described Mexican» Americans as trying to ‘destroy our society. These history lessons should not be taught if it isn’t giving vital information, Racial inequality was a great topic to cover because I learned more in-depth about what other cultures outside of my own have to deal with, Racial equality should be more than just looking pasta person’s color or race, but should include having respect for one’s culture and beliefs because it is a big part of what makes up a race. The best way to solve issues with racial inequality in America today is by creating an environment where all races can interact together every day which is why schools should constantly make an effort to create a more diverse student body as well as having diverse workers and leaders. This way a better understanding of each culture is given and will help more people to relate to it,

The following are some of the policies as cited by Gallagher and Lui to counter racial inequality in order to have a balanced or equal society: Increased awareness which is achieved through communication to other people over racism and withoutjudgment making an inquiry of the shared thoughts and the reason of animosity to a given race. Awareness also enlightens individuals on the importance of not engaging in this type of activity. Furthermore, this enhances the relationship between individuals from different races thus reducing racial inequality according to Gallagher, Make it against the law to be unequal to which in this case people will have to avoid the use of stereotype language while in public thus being mindful of words that might provoke racial inequality.
Topic: racism

Personally, I intend to also spread awareness to people around me about the adverse effects of racism and the importance of not being racial, It is for this case that I would be a patriotic citizen and look out for the good of the nation by first practicing racial equality then allowing others to follow suit. Secondly, I would be introspective which means I wouldn’t give in to peer pressure to practicing racial inequality In conclusion, racial unbalance is a severe issue, but through the right policies, this problem can gradually be tamed to dealt with hence eradication.
Topic: racism

In my opinion, slavery is what has led to most of the racial problems in our country. Because there was an initial group of people that was targeted and put to use for free labor, it made it seem like it was okay to treat a certain race this way and further gave way to class distinction based on race. Racism was a result of slavery, and while the forced labor did physically end in the United States by 1865, its racist mentality caused by the white landowners and the rest of society remained.

However, although we have reached such advances, racism still continues to exist in our present day, the most prevalent example being the Tulsa shooting in which a police ofﬁcer shot and killed an unarmed black man. In regards to the Federal Housing Administration, I ﬁnd this system extremely ﬂawed as it creates its own vicious cycle: because the FHA rated neighborhoods based on stability, black communities were naturally exempt from this procedure and as a result their neighborhoods had turned into slums.
Topic: racism

The minorities who in fact need the most aid are not receiving help from the government because they aren’t capable of remaining economically stable. This system only furthers the socioeconomic gap between the rich and the poor. Although I am not sure whether the government had deliberate intentions to prevent minorities from closing this gap, it really appears like they did. This colonialist method of exploiting the weak to obtain monetary gain seems to persist today, with its cause leading back to what we thought had completely ceased to exist but clearly continues to linger throughout current society: exploitation of minorities.

A prison with a majority of one race is more likely to form gangs, leading to higher rates of inmate misconduct and grievances. as well as escapes. Sociologists involved in the study felt the disparities found were extremely dangerous to inmates as well as staff of private prisons. I did not know there was a difference from one prison to the next. I assumed all prisons were run by the government but it makes sense that the government cannot handle all of these faCIlities and contracts work to the private sector.

Tim Wise made a speech on white privilege, white denial, and the cost of inequality Basically he focused on the nature of white privilege and how it came to be that way His presentation was relevant to understanding social injustice and oppression. Often times the white race has the upper hand and this speech gives insight into the history and make-up of that dynamic between the white race and other races, To me, this speech had a bit of a history lesson feel to it I actually learned a lot about the white race and its history.

This brought them together because they were in the same economic and labor predicament Once America was founded, this continued happening. The elite landowners gave the white slaves a bit of land and a bit of power, which left the black slaves with absolutely nothing This divided up the races but still kept the poor white people oppressed without them knowing it, I honestly could not come up with much in the way of reservations in regard to this presentations I really enjoyed this speech It is interesting and different to see a white man (who in many cases, or at least in traditional cases, would be the dominant oppressor) speak out about injustice and inequality of those other than people of his own race.

So where am I going with all of this? Issues such as racism, discrimination, police brutality, LGBTQ inclusivity, and immigration were issues that many women on color felt that were pushed under the rug and were relegated in favor of issues that matter most to straight, white, middle-class women. For one this march was a good example of mainstream feminism which has a history of underlying racism, which was evident through the lack of intersectionality that was demonstrated through in that march.
Topic: racism

Mainstream feminism has a long history of underlying racism. During the 1800s white women were fighting for equality just as women of color such as Sojourner Truth, Maria, Stewart, and Frances E.W. Harper were fighting for universal equality. Despite the immense work that women of color have put in for the women’s movement, it was overshadowed by the mainstream feminists and established itself as a movement geared towards to white women all while using negative racial connotations as fuel for its work.

Let’s jump ahead to the 1960s and 1970s, where the anti-establishment movements overtook the nation’s consciousness and when the second wave of feminism took over. Grounded in the anti-racist civil rights movement and the anti-capitalist movement these new-aged women found themselves wanting more on reproductive rights, equal employment, and questioned the roles of gender in society. However, black women found themselves alienated from the mainstream movement.It seems that mainstream feminism doesn’t support black feminism.

In Barbara Smiths Towards a Black Feminist Criticism. She writes about the lack of acknowledgement towards black female feminist writers and black lesbian writers by everyone in the writing community, the white feminist community, and even the black community. I find it interesting how the white feminist community want equality however they don’t even support their fellow black feminist writers. How are we all going to be equal if you can’t even support writers from a different race. She writes about Sara Blackburn, a feminist critic and her responds to Toni Morrison’s book Sula. Sara Blackburn had this to say about Toni Morrison’s Sula: “Toni Morrison is far too talented to remain only a marvelous recorder of the black side of provincial american life. If she is to maintain the large and serious audience she deserves, she is going to have to address a riskier contemporary reality that this beautiful but nevertheless distanced novel.

And is she does this, it seems to me that she might easily transcend that early and unintentionally limiting classification “black woman writer” and taker her place among the most serious, important and talented american novelists now working.”(3). So much for supporting our fellow women writers! Although, Blackburn does admire Morrison’s work, she just thinks that she shouldn’t write about those things so she can be taken seriously to others. Why is it that we “need” the approval of white establishment to be taken seriously as artist? I find that ridiculous. However, I do understand that they basically control everything that’s out in the mainstream and we need to change that!

Upon reading Layli Phillips Womanism: On Its Own, I couldn’t help but think about the feminists that marched in Washington D.C back in 2017. She writes about womanism and she quotes “womanism does not emphasize or privilege gender or sexism, rather, it elevates all sites and forms of oppression, whether they are based on social-address categories like gender, race or class, to a level equal concern and action.”(XX). This made me think about all the women supporting women while wearing pink “pussy hats”, are they really being inclusive while wearing the hats that represents female genitalia? How about the transgender women from the LGBTQ community and non-binary people don’t necessarily have female genitalia? We there represented with that pink hat? No, they were not. Womanism is more inclusive, I believe, than the mainstream feminism culture.

“I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” (Martin Luther King Jr). Blacks, Whites, Native Americans, immigrants, non-immigrants, Latinos, and Middle Easterns have all felt racialized throughout the years of United States history. The issue of racial equality is a social barrier that Americans are yet to overcome. Racialization is the process of referring to ethnic or racial identities to a relationship, social practice, or group that did not identify itself as such.

African Americans have felt racialized during slavery and segregation. Until this day, there is a possibility for Blacks to experience Racism. The documentary the “13th”, centers on the thirteenth amendment, the amendment states “neither slavery, nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction”. The United States did not just criminalize a certain group of black people.

It criminalized black people as a whole, a process that, destroyed untold lives but also successfully transferred the guilt for slavery from the people who prolonged it to the people who suffered through it. African Americans were looked as criminals. They were given names without having a choice. They were given labels because of their skin color. In the documentary, Ms. Alexander argues that mass imprisonment exists with slavery and Jim Crow. Under the Jim Crow laws, the state laws had different laws for blacks and whites, segregated them under the rule of separate but equal.

“There is a strange kind of enigma associated with the problem of racism. No one or almost no one, wishes to see themselves as racist; still, racism persists, real and tenacious” (Memmi 1). In other words, racism still exists but no one claims themselves as racist. Even though one is not saying the words but is portraying it indirectly is still considered to be a racist. One can be racist without using words. Eduardo Bonilla-Silva Durham, mentions that “most whites assert they don’t see any color, just people”. This is referring to color-blindness racism which is a common response to racism. This is a common response from white people to reject racism. Many times this is interpreted as whites being racist because it is a way for them to say “I view everyone as if they are white”. When you view everyone through a colorblind white lens, you deny the reality that non-white people face. What would one say about the times during segregation when blacks and whites could not drink from the same fountain or go to the same school? Would this have happened if everyone was seen as white? When one fails to see color they fail to see injustice and oppression. The race is not the only aspect that defines people. Gender, sexuality, religion, etc are factors that can also result in oppression and injustice.
Topic: racism

Other than African Americans and whites who experienced racialization, immigrants also experienced it. According to Walker, “in the standard American rose-tinted story of immigration, newcomers arrive overwhelmingly from Europe, “green” in their lack of urban and modern experiences but unproblematically white. They assimilate US habits and join the nation, often successfully competing with people of color for jobs as they do so”. This clearly shows how immigrants feel insecure about people of color having a better opportunity of getting a job. Since many immigrants that come to the United States are illiterate, they are taken advantage of once they get a job because they are forced to work long hours with very minimal pay. Not having a proper education makes them inferior to the other races, therefore, making them powerless. “But the nature of what it meant for immigrants to learn a new racial system as a central part of “becoming American” has led to acute differences of opinion, even among historians agreeing that race mattered in the immigration history of European Americans” (Roediger 140).

As time went on laws and policies were put into place to stop this horrific time in American history by creating the Thirteenth Amendment which ultimately ended slavery. It did not make everything right over night and still as issues to this day. Over this period of time whites establish systems, practices, laws, and beliefs that classified African Americans inferior to the Caucasian race. The racism that was instilled in the privileges of whites were very persevering throughout the North and the South once slavery had in ended. This created the impression of black inferiority and white supremacy (The KKK) to a whole new level. It was not until 1868 the state changed the Fourteen Amendment to the Constitution to let citizenship and equal rights to the African American community. In 1870 the Fifteen Amendment was passed to allow black men to vote.

Although it might be seen as a bad thing to have this bill in place, there are some benefits that can come out. For example, as said in the MySA newsletter website, they believe that the bill will make the communities in Texas safer because “This new law targets criminals, not those on whom criminals prey.” (Abbott). They shoot down the theory that racial profiling of any sorts or discrimination will not appear from this bill. The newsletter also states how officers are not allowed to randomly as anyone on the street for documentation. The officers have to have a legit reason for asking. Reading this about the bill might make others who are legal citizens feel safer when out and about. I believe these are a few of the important parts from the bill.

A forgiveness that is reserved for someone who has been hurt for a long time and needs a true act of compassion from the person who has hurt them (Lecture Notes). To think about mercy, what it means and who it is for, Gay talks about his encounter with bees to get us to think about mercy and how bees can give mercy all while still having the power to hurt someone.

He thought about killing them, but the bees didn’t attack, “They knew inside, there was a truth other than murder. They had mercy”. This ambiguous ending of his experience can allow readers to reflect and apply this experience to the impact of racial profiling and the effect it has on individuals and even themselves (Lecture Notes). Bees can sense your fear, and their interpretation of your fear and anxiety can lead them to sting you or not, but they have a choice.

But, these people can choose how they act or react(Lecture Notes). People of color still interact with these ‘bees’, despite experiencing continuous pain from them. They still live in a society that treats them worse because of the color of their skin. But, for bees stinging you is a choice, just how hurting people based on their skin color is also a choice (Lecture Notes). Bring us back to the end of Gay’s essay when he asks for mercy, he is asking for the people to make this choice and give mercy, despite being approached with the fearful person (Lecture Notes), stand against the anger and prejudice that were taught to them and look beyond what someone’s skin color is in order to treat them like a human being.

Who are believers it makes them who there yet there is also discrimination or violence to the church such as arson. Most church arsons can be based on bias depending on the reason that the arsonist caused it. There is a complex of motives behind the crimes that can be biased for instance race, religion, politics, mental illness, including revenge. Several cases of church arsons, are mostly attacking black church’s, assuming it is racial profiling that it’s conflicting towards the church, when there are various factors.

Opposite religions can cause disruption towards how they feel to the church this leads to a case of, “A self-described “missionary of Lucifer,” Mr. Ballinger faces other charges for five church fires in Georgia” (“U.S. church arsonist …”). As it is shown his cause for it was because of his belief that made him an impact to do that choice towards the churches. With the lack of evidence many would start accusing for racial profiling , but in matter of fact he didn’t do it only because of race, he wasn’t only one sided as it is explained here, “Mr.

Based on his belief, it was the causes of his actions, he did not mention any conflict that he had toward the churches group of races but simply because of his belief. Church arsons has become an issue for politics, politics and religion can sometimes merge, which explains on the attacks that people are doing but also putting other people in danger. It can be based on how the religion is portrayed to different type of religions or aspects that they believe. Iraqi Christians are struggling to survive, since they are targeted and considered as one of the oldest religion. As the report explains here, “Christians remain targets in Iraq. On November 8, car bombs were denotated at two churches in southwest BAGHDAD” (“Baghdad”).

Most of them are fleeing from their home because they feel they are not safe, since they would be considered as Sunni that excludes them from a major section of Islam. There has been reports of attacks that people who oppose Christianity have done to them which it is unfair for them to live in fear, “On October 16, the second day of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, assailants bombed and then they burned five churches in Baghdad” (“Baghdad”) These arsonists are really making an effort to burn all these churches in order to be vanish Christianity, which is based on their religion and seemigly it relates to politics since Iraq Christians have a different perspective to situations which others might not like.

There is no specific way to profile an arsonist, it can be a juvenile , a rich person or even an insane person. With such a wide range of suspect characteristics, investigating an arson can be difficult with little evidence that could be the cause racial profiling. Mental illness can be included into the causes of arson, many cases has been because of that, “A Tennessee drifter who said he set churches afire to help stave off homosexual urges” (“Man Is Found Insane…”). Insanity can make one do things that they are incapable of doing so in the report it said it was help not have homosexual urges which can sound peculiar but that’s the part where insanity plays. Not only that but also shows not all church arsons are effects of racial profiling. It wasn’t a specific church that made him do that it was just at random.

Revenge is what most people like to do, including with religion, it can also have a play too. There can be riot erupted by groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood which have fought with other religions that have been problems from the past and yet still bring them up and burn churches just for the sake of revenge. Some reason for their moves of revenge of what they are doing is , “The Brotherhood members regarded attacking the churches as their revenge against Coptic Egyptians who made their stance against the Brotherhood and support for the Armed Forces quite clear during the June 30 revolution” (“Muslim Brotherhood Sued…”).

As it is said on the quote revenge is still used for the incident they do like church arsoning that it still affects them. To conclude, church arson has the defects of not only being because of race but we are also able to identify the different factors and not assume the defects of race. It has been fairly shown religion is what plays mostly in this type of incidents. Regardless because of being a small town it can happen globally not necessarily you have to be a different race to be attacked. Church arson attacks are to anything there is no specific reason why arsonist do the violence.

When people talk about an “underserved population,” the first thing that comes to mind could minorities. But there is more to an underserving population than a minority’s race or ethnicity, such as their skin color and cultural background. Because of these two factors, it can cause a red flag that we like to call racial profiling. A population that undergoes the most racial profiling in traffic stops are Latinos. Immigration in the United States, the authority held by law enforcement, and lack of perspective in the Latino community are all valid explanations for the racial profiling Latinos have faced.

The Fourth Amendment states that people have a right to be secured against unreasonable searches and seizure without probable cause. “Latinos pose a danger not because their conduct is illegal, but because of their purported status- they are illegal. Therefore, they are more in danger to being searched” (Carbado and Harris, 2011). This statement reflects that race can always be a probable factor when it comes to immigration laws which breaks the Fourth Amendment, though some may argue that is not the case.

United States v. Martinez-Fuerte was a huge national case that involved the approach to allow traffic stops and immigration checkpoints, specifically away from the Mexico border and does not violate the Fourth Amendment. Due to this case, a woman named Bonnie Castro was detained on the road with her child because of a license plate that read “PUREMEX,” which emphasizes her cultural background. The police searched her car for illegal drugs and found nothing, but instead cites her for driving without insurance (Mucheti, 2005). There is a clear comfort level to authorities when it comes to racially profiling someone based on their skin color, but also shows a lack of knowledge to other cultures. Repeated incidents can cause stereotypes and bias against Latinos in white America. Due to the cycle of these events we hear in the media or in neighborhoods, Latinos can undergo serious emotional, psychological, and physical trauma which can lead to negative emotions concerning law enforcement.
