The Cause Of Racism

Improved Essays
This wonderful research that is going to be talked about is why does racism still occur today and why people can’t a change. Americans can tell you everything that is going wrong but don’t have enough people that want to construct change because they are afraid of what others would think of them. Racism is one of the ways that this society is broken up right now. If people don’t do what change, then why complain about it. Huck and Jim are the type that you would think nothing could change between them. While some may think being racist isn 't wrong and that President Obama is making this worst, whereas others feels that racism is controlling everything in this world today because the Justice System fairness is horrible, President Obama wants …show more content…
Are things, in fact the president fault? No simply because what the society has done in the past, President Obama is trying to construct things better before he leaves office. American is accustomed to the things since people notice what is going on and some think it’s wonderful to do it which is wrong. People can draw their own conclusions," he said. "I think we 've come a long way, but we probably have way more progress we need to create."People can draw their own conclusions," he said. "I think we 've come a long way, yet we probably have way more progress we need to make."People can draw their own conclusions," he said. "I think we 've come a long way, but we probably have way more progress we need to make."(Bradner, McConnell: Race relations have 'gotten better under Obama). I agree with him completely. Obama is one of the best things that has happened to this nation probably since reconstruction. People don 't know what they have got until it 's gone. When President Obama leaves office and the new president comes. People are gonna wish they still had Obama. A countless number of people genuinely think Obama is the cause of what people do in this world. It’s funny how we have a black successful president and people want to put blame on him because he’s changing things to build a better community. How can somebody say that ONE man has all the power to control what somebody too. Due to the lack of the communities …show more content…
This nation is no longer considered a nation. We are more like states when it comes to race. It sad to the point where children in our society think it 's only to treat people that isn 't the same color badly. People were identified as "B" for a child that was African American, C for a child that was mixed and W for a child that was white. (Gilmer, Jumping the Fence). This is why people today are the way they are because they were being labeled as a child. The teaching not to be racist is probably the worst thing that can happen. Although it was a little over a decade, I 'm glad Cincinnati was able to make some progress in the race relations that was going on. The Kerner Commission found that Cincinnati had great disparities between its black and white residents back then – and great insensitivity to the challenges its black residents faced, he said. (May, Nearly 12 years after the riots, Cincinnati race relations improving but more progress needed). Alot of people have noticed some states like to make the best for their people in their communities. There 's much greater trust and communication between the Cincinnati Police Department and the community than there was in 2001, she said, and much more positive interaction.(May, Nearly 12 years after the riots, Cincinnati race

    President Obama’s Hypocrisy President Barack Hussein Obama is the forty fourth president of the United States elected in 2008 and he is the first president, under the constitution, of African descent. He worked his way up from the Illinois State Senate to the US Senate and was officially sworn in as president on January 20, 2009. Given his background in politics, logically, people assumed that he was a responsible, trustworthy candidate for president; however, his actions prove otherwise. His past work does not stand for his mental ability to run and decide for a country. Instead of his idea of “hope” and “change”, his presidency has brought the United States to the brink of ruin.…

    White Rage Racism in America has been a constant dilemma since years of slavery. The United States of America, a country that praised and advertised “true freedom” of the masses, yet displayed the exact opposite when it came to African Americans.

    The coverage of this made others question the race and ethnicity of their president instead of what he was bringing to the candidacy. Even though they questioned him, Americans still love to use Obama as an example of reasons why they are no longer racist and in order to shut down the topic in general. By insisting that, racism is no longer in issue because there is a black president so there is no need for any further…

    During Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, the ongoing issue of race came to the forefront of all voters after a controversial conversation with Obama’s reverend, Jeremiah Wright and a news reporter went wrong. Wrights words not only had voters upset with his views, tied Obama's campaign with his beliefs but also drove the racial wedge further within white and black community. With his speech “A more perfect union” Obama attempts to ease the tensions and move forward by addressing the issue that’s lasted many years and being a voice of reason for all middle class Americans. In his speech he talks about his own views, the declaration of independence, the common problems in communities all over the country such as job losses, discrimination of colored race in the justice system, problems with children’s education, and how Americans, as a “union”…

    Since the dawn of history, race has always separated people, creating an invisible border between races. With the idea of a race well establish everyone could now be classified and oppressed. Race is social construct mainly to oppress those who do not have a perspective on society. One of the oppressed groups in history is the Chicano community, who dealt with the tyrannical ideologies of racism. The Chicano movement used their struggle and faith to create motivation to combat racism.…

    To answer this question one simply needs to look at the history of the United States. Throughout American history there has been a constant struggle between change and maintaining the status quo, while many of these struggles were long and many unfruitful, there has historically been real social and political change in the United States. As the First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama explains in a commencement speech delivered at City College in New York, "... I wake up in a house that was built by slaves, and I watch my daughters — two beautiful black young women — head off to school, waving goodbye to their father, the president of the United States” (Blay). This very statement proves that change is possible from slavery, to segregation, to the first black president, While Barack Obama being elected president does not mean that prejudice and racism no longer exist in the United States it does show that there has been significant change, both socially and…

    The speech “A More Perfect Union” is about how Obama says we should do unto others as we would want unto us. The speech explains that he finds the world to be against each other in way, because we all do not work together. He explains that if one person was to pull the race card, then it would be hard for us to change anything. I agree with Barack Obama’s, because he uses logos, pathos, and kairos to get all of his best points a crossed. How he uses kairos…

    This shows that racism is still going on today. The racism that minorities receive is starting to spiral out of control. People are dying at the hands of White people who have so much hatred towards a group of people who they only want to live with. Coming into a new country with a little to nothing, is going to be a big wake up call. Many people here are treated based on their social class, and if you’re a minority, you are treated like almost nothing.…

    I thought that Obama had a lot of bad ideas because he wanted to try and make everything equal. This couldn't happen because of the population differences in every state and some states had more animals than others. I don’t think the world will ever be equal or the same, because of all the differences in the world. Like race, population, religion, and the way people believe in politics. People make life complicated because when we want something we try our hardest to get what we want.…
