Black Kids

Racial profiling seems to be big in law enforcement. A good example of racial profiling by the police is when A Hispanic driver is stopped in a "white" neighborhood because he "doesn’t belong there" or "looks to be out of place and/or a group of black teenagers are pulled over because of the kind of car they are driving. I as an everyday citizen am guilty of racial profiling. There are times that I have said some things that I should have not said. For example, my daughter has a thing…

I'm Rastafarian and I can't practice all my religion if I want my kids back. But I did it and I still can't get my kids back. They don't understand me or my culture ............... I read all the material in…

In today’s society numerous of lives have been lost due to police killings. Is that because of race? Particularly young black men have not been making it back home to their families. This is not because of individual police officers are racist or they think that black lives do not matter. This is because police officers and other government officials perform the way they are trained to perform. A statement that police often use when they are…

Why are the top stories in the news always negative and geared towards pointing out struggle between white and black? Is it because society is only interested in hearing about what is going wrong in the world, or is the media trying to create controversy and increase racial tensions? There are many stories in the news related to racism: police brutality, education, crime; the media has a way of portraying these matters or specific incidents to indicate that America is racist. What might happen…

“Over the past 35 years in America, an estimate of 324,000 blacks have been killed at the hands of fellow blacks, proving “racist” white cops are the least of their worries” - Pete Herakles. 2013 statics show that Caucasians killed 409 blacks, meanwhile 2,245 blacks were killed by their own race. “Black lives matter” coming from African Americans is an erroneous statement. Over the past years we’ve been running from the wrong people, to put it briefly by “we” I mean the highly discriminated…

see the skin color of his black best friend, or understand what that meant for him. To Halstead, this was ideal and theoretically made him a good person.

People are very dynamic. From a surface level, the privilege of some is very obvious. But every person is privileged, as well as disadvantaged to some extent.

I possess qualities that show both privilege and disadvantages in American society. During the third week of class, a comprehensive list was made of what it means to be privileged in the…

Blacks have been pushed to the side and not treated the same as whites for generations. Fairness and justice were not given to blacks in the novel To Kill A Mockingbird(TKAM) by Harper Lee. The novel begins in Maycomb, Alabama in the 1930’s right in the middle of the civil rights movement. Whites did not listen to what blacks had to say often and would much rather take a white man 's word than a black man 's word. The narrator of the story was a little girl named Scout, and she was growing up…

speech to end segregation? So did he get his point in his speech across America? I believe he did get his point across to America. I think he got his point across because he got to the point were black kids could go to school later on through the year so blacks can go to public schools instead of black schools. They should go to public schools because then they can get more friends. Then they can have more things to do like play sports. Like baseball and other sports. Another reason he wanted…
