said that the white people were just lazy, worthless, laying and anarchist lot. While the Mexico and black people were slave; uneducated, and unskilled farm workers. The Mexican and Blacks were actually working hardest than the white does during the farm. The white does got paid highest than the Mexican and Black did when they were working during the farms. The paid were not fair for the Mexico and Black people, and they were suffering while working as labor. White people hiring the racial people who have no work experience, they were force to understand what to do to work. They were hiring about 26% less than the people who have experiences. The Mexico and Black people were working so hard in the warm or hot weather and humid while…
chose was a very unique one about the criminal justice system and how they treat people of color. Over the years black and Hispanic people have been harassed, beaten, caged, and killed by so many police officers you lose count. It talks about how statistically black people and white people use and sell around the same number of drugs, but black people will be 2.5 and 5.5 times more likely to be arrested. We only make up 13% of the population so how just is the justice system? Mass incarceration…
Why I Think the Way Black People Are Treated Is Harmful. “Black people aren’t that good of a race right now” Today I’m going to be talking about why the way black people are treated is harmful. At the moment black people are still experiencing oppression and neglection, we do know that this is a country that was made by enslaved people, for white people. Take for instance, film was made to make “normal” people look the best they could. So a color reference card for “normal” film was made, These…
Many classroom discussions that have revolved around BLM tended to center around reformism and “acceptable” forms of protest that should be used to facilitate change. The emphasis on respectability politics and voting also dominate these conversations. These moderate methods are presented using language that tries to paint the methods as being radical and revolutionary. As Alicia Garza explains thoroughly, the dehumanization and malicious mistreatment of Black people is rooted in various methods…
The first descendants of black people experienced much hardship. Thousands of Africans were taken from their homeland, bound in chains, suffered through deplorable conditions as they traveled on a ship and were forced to work 12 hours a day, everyday until the day they died. Once slavery ended in 1865, black people had the opportunity to create a life for themselves. Slavery had ended, but the struggles of being black were far from finished. Despite the tremendous adversity faced from the end…
Pulido said that black people should not be overlooked. The Black people are being illtreated and it is believed that they will not react to their ill-treatment. She said American people believed that Black people in Flint are not able to take action against their ill-treatment. She argues that such presumption is not true. She said that throughout history, black people have always fought for their rights. During the civil rights movement, like during Martin Luther King Jr. days, the black…
In the 1920’s many people were better off in America; due to entertainment, cinema, etc, however, not everyone was better off in the 1920’s including the ‘black race’, which was treated with apathy. The lives of some people were changing in big ways positively in America because the development of the car industry sparked a growth in other industries too, for example, the cars that Henry ford made needed massive amount of materials( cycle of prosperity) because there was a myriad of it be…
Black people should change the way they represent themselves to have a better image. In society, the black race is negatively stereotyped as uneducated, gang members, drug smokers/dealers. I believe that if black people change the way they represent themselves by focusing and going to school, staying away from gang activities, and stay from drug they will have a better image in society. I do believe that others feel the same way as I do because they aren’t like the average black people, they…
Throughout the texts, there were mentions of black people who were murdered for unfair reasons and in unjust circumstances. When these people were killed, efforts were taken to ensure that it appeared as though these murders had happened for just reasons. Whether it be by the media, or by individuals, people continuously try to justify the killing of black people, usually by police or hate crime. Tamir Rice, who was only 12 years old when he was shot and killed by police, was…
