blood type, and finger print. One interesting I found from this activity, which was basically a refresher for me, was that not a lot of African-Americans have the blood type AB. The five major races included in this activity were: African-Americans or Blacks, Whites, American Indians, Hispanics, and Asian Americans. Throughout the review, it demonstrated what groups of people are more genetically and physically inclined to have each specific trait. For the actual activity, we had to group…

Blacks and whites were separated but were said to be equal. Despite this ‘equality’ many African American citizens tried to pass the colour line to improve their quality of life. In a time when this passing was so common, chauvinists often looked for other…

Privilege and white privilege is there a difference? The text states that White privilege is “a set of advantaged and or immunities that white people benefit from on a daily basis beyond those common to all others” (Avakian, 2003). As I searched privilege and read different terms I understood it as, a special right like an advantage, something granted to a particular person or group of people. Though there is a difference between the two I can see why the term Privilege is attached to “White”.…

From Asian, Black, White, Light skinned (black), green blue, and just all types of dolls. The reason for this is because I feel the experiment is actually still teaching segregation. All the children who took part of the experiment had to deal with a white and black doll. That right there is already telling that young black child that this is what it is, and get used to it, because it will never change. They are children…

the eyes of society which is why women and children end up being the most impoverished population and mass incarceration of black men makes this even worse for black women. Race is an additional burden to the differences that men and women have. Table 4.1 shows that black males have the highest unemployment rates, blacks live in the most concentrated communities, and blacks make about $2,000 below the average median income in Baltimore. It also shows that whites make more no matter what their…

Although Black Nationalism may be seen as more radical than King’s propositions, its founding ideas also bear many similarities. In his speech “The Ballot of the Bullet”, Malcolm X begins by using King’s first step: collection of evidence. He focuses on how Democrats and other Whites have broken their promises to the Black people repeatedly. The movement’s disillusionment with White society is also similar to King’s…

that the black male is seen as an imminent danger to society, no matter the age. It is a constant idea that black men are absent from a child’s life, a constant idea that people questioned my life with. My father is involved in my life, and my father is not absent, or a threat to American society, something that should not have to be said but I will most likely have to say until his demise. In modern media today it is typical to see a black male absent from a child’s life, to see the black males…

binoculars that see black life from a distance, never with the texture of intimacy,” writes Michael Eric Dyson in his essay “Death in Black and White”, which is a New York Times article in response to the deaths of Alton B Sterling and Philando Castile by “the hands of the police.” Dyson is talking about how white America will always struggle to understand black people. White America’s inability to understand African Americans is echoed in Claudia Rankine’s essay, “The Condition of Black Life…

character was from the newer or older generation, their views about race and the status of their interracial relationships was affected. In situations dealing with white supremacy and black progression, older individuals, both white and black, tended to be content with keeping blacks in an inferior position. For older blacks, like Sandy and Mammy Jane, their goal was to conform to the standards of whites. They were more likely to be subordinate to whites and desire to stay in low-ranking roles…
