and how it impacted an individual and creates disparities Intuitional Racism, which was giving difference access to goods, services, and opportunities of society because of race. It is like when we were doing the roots module for class where the African-American were living in their own environment and once they moved to a White populated area the White people started to move out of the neighborhood. She also explained Personally-mediated Racism, which she defined as the different assumption…

The history of violence against African Americans in the South is long, tragic and varied. While this history is made up of many different forms of extra judiciary violence, I would argue that off these acts the lynchings carried out during Jim Crow were some of the most heinous and politically impactful. Seeing brutal images of a town gathered around a hung body provide those studying the political history of the American South with a vivid depiction of what systematic disenfranchisement really…

Theoretical Context African Americans and Caribbean Americans developed a high rate of mental disorders over the past several years. This is an important issue because in the black community we have a high rate of mentally ill people that don’t seek help. African Americans struggle to seek help with the smallest of things such as receiving tutoring in math. This reluctance transpires to medical issues as well. This issue is something that needs to be acknowledged because, as millennial are…

are one of the most important sources of information for learning and understanding the important part of American history; the slavery and its linkage with African Americans. These slave narratives don't just capacity as stories of continuance and survival, but also use a particular authorial voice which adds to their convincing force. As African-American abolitionists, the narrators of slave narratives would have felt the double weights of staying consistent with their slave foundations while…

Freedom is based on personal views. If someone has strict parents, they may see staying out past ten o’clock one night as freedom. However, someone who has parents that let them come and go doesn’t see staying out past ten o’clock as freedom. The African Americans viewed freedom based on everything that was occurring in society around them. Think about how many times someone has told you, you cannot do something but everyone else is doing it. That is the most frustrating thing in life, and to be…

mass slaughter of minorities may not have completely subsided, it has just taken a different form. Many races besides caucasian, or people of other religions, are being persecuted in the same way, but African Americans have dealt with it significantly higher proportions. The murder of innocent African Americans in our society is disproportionately larger than any other race. Consequently, technology has made it easier for people to be held accountable, made the spread of news faster,…

emerge because of advertisements like Sprite, Nike, and Adidas. In these ads during prime-time shows, Black male athletes played the main role and this strengthens this stereotype because it portrays that athletic wear and shoes were worn only by African Americans that were athletes. This in return, creates a biased assumption; whenever someone sees a Black man wearing one of these products then, one would assume that they are athletes because of commercials like these. In Sunkist Orange Soda,…

of clubs and organizations catering specifically to African Americans and no organizations specifically for white skin that aren’t controversial. On top of that, there are no scholarships for being white or Caucasian. For example, when I was applying for scholarships to help pay for college I came across a full ride scholarship called the “Call Me Mister Program” and I qualified for everything they had on their checklist except for being an African American male. There are television shows and…

Throughout this course we have learned and analyzed many topics and theories. We have delved deep into many problems from racial segregation to the current oppressive narrative in the United States of America. It is apparent that African American’s face problems much different than their white, majority, counterparts, and that this is due to a plethora of problems. The discussion will be about wealth, crime, and resources, and how political practices have led to problems in these areas inside…

What I have learned about this group is that they have a higher death rate than any other minority group and that they have one of the highest infant and maternal mortality rate. This brings me to what stood out to me the most. I was surprised that African-Americans have one of the highest infant and maternal mortality rate. It was astonishing to learn that they have 13.24 per 1000 mortality rate for infants. The next thing that stood out to me was the importance of family. I have learned that…
