    POST #2 Watching Carlos lecture on recitatif, this is an informative and gives us a wider view of how racism goes about and how we are all participants in it no matter what we perceive ourselves to be. He starts by giving us two names and ask us to pick which race the two belong too. And he gives you a few seconds to make your judgment. He then says, if you made a judgement or even thought about who belongs to what race, its shows you identify with race. I will agree with him on that, because if you don’t identify with race, you should not think or make a judgment.…

    Does racism still exist today? Yes, of course it does it happens everywhere, people discriminate other people based on their color and their background. Segregation happened a long time ago back in the 1800s, this is where people would have to be separated based on their color and they would have to go to different schools, drink from different water fountains and much more. In America racism there were two cases that led to each other the first one was Plessy vs. Ferguson, and then Brown v Board of Education both of these were also based on the phrase “ separate but equal.” Plessy v Ferguson and Brown v Board of Education are two landmark cases that changed the course of American history.…

Minorities are extremely overrepresented in prisons, warehoused with no rights. There is no escape from the racism, which follows minorities in the United States from the start to the end of their lives. History has had a huge contribution to the racism existing today, especially through slavery.…

    In today’s society which we call the United States of America there may be many predictions, speculations, and myths that have been thought of when it comes to our history. I have analyzed and did my own research on the history of racism. Racism is the belief of people of each race, who acts as if one is superior to another race. There are several prejudice practices practiced by racial individuals which discriminates against people of other race and due to their skin color. I watched four movies such as Birth of a Nation, Beloved, 13th, and Do the Right Thing which tells us where racism comes from, and how it is has changed over the years.…

    Racism has affected nearly everyone at one point in their life. Whether it's because you're treated differently depending on the color of your skin, or learning the history of slaves and the slow progression of blacks getting the same rights as whites, there is no way to avoid learning or hearing about racism. Racism is the belief that different races have different abilities or characteristics that makes a race superior or inferior compared to others. Racism is a problem everywhere, but has improved over time and is something that may never disappear due to it affecting our history so much. The 50’s was when many laws came out to stop the division of colors, but it wasn't that simple.…

    Segregation and privilege Race has been a huge discussion in the social world and has affected many lives for as long as I can remember. Racism is defined as the belief that members of separate races possess different and unequal traits (323). It has been an issue in the US for hundreds of years. I grew up in what a lot of people might call the most racist state in the country, Mississippi. Mississippi is the second-worst place to raise a black child in the United States (the root).…

    Janiyah Belfor Critical Analysis on “ Defining Racism: “Can We Talk” Beverly Daniels Tatum’s “Defining Racism: “ Can We Talk”, published in 2003, explains that racism and prejudice still exist in today’s world and are not just something of the past. Many people are left in the dark about the daily racist situations that occur in the world and covered by the media. From what I understood from the article it is everyone's job to get their own understanding on racism and what it is today.

    Racism has been around for many years and it is an issue that has never been fully resolved, although some may believe that it has. It is not uncommon to see crimes being mentioned everywhere but thanks to the media, we have seen the many incidents occurring recently involving white cops and black men, hence we have come to realize how racist we really are as a society and how big of an issue racism actually is even now. In the textbook Classical and Contemporary Sociological Theory, we are introduced to some of the first sociologists and their theories. Two sociologists that are relevant to present issues about racism would be Emile Durkheim and W.E.B. Du Bois.…

    Racism is a problem that seems to only be masked and never really addressed like a number of other important topics, it seems to be a common theme in this country. Racism has been a hot topic in recent years again with people that seem to be on both sides saying that we as a country do not have a problem and then there are people shedding light to how much there actually is a problem. Both sides dismissing each other and then nothing is happening to solve this problem. The main argument saying that this country does not have a racism problem is that we talk too much about it which is fuels the fires of a nonexistent problem said by privilege white people. Sadly, a lot of the information that was presented in the film was not shocking or…
