society today, there are many different types of people; white, black, Spanish, Asian, Etc. We are all different in many ways even though we are all human. Some of our differences are visible and some are not so much. We are not only defined by our race but also by class, gender, and ethnicity. These aspects plays a big role in society as others used them to judge one another. After interviewing one of my fellow coworker who is white, I was clearer as to why we judge one another and how much…

In The New Jim Crow, author Michele Alexander suggests that mass imprisonment of African Americans in the late 20th and early 21st centuries established a totally new racial caste system. This new system was strikingly oppressive and this novel explores the topic of racial injustice in America’s legal systems today. Alexander proves her claim by referring to racial problems in the past, such as the War on Drugs and Civil Rights. The War on Drugs correlates to past problems. The first claim…

Race in the United states is a course which explores race and race relations through discussions. Through the course, we could discuss various topics which race affects. For example, we discussed the prison system, health care, poverty, education, affirmative action, and much more. Not only did we focus on African Americans and whites, but we also explore different ethnicities and the way their ethnicity and race affected them. A big focus in the class was the intersectionality of race and…

Does race play a part in hiring a model employee? The concept of race has played a role in job opportunities for minorities even though there have been quite a few changes throughout our nation’s social culture through the 1950s, which finally culminated in the first African American president being elected within the United States on November 4, 2008. Nevertheless, the election of an African-American president did little to ameliorate how minorities are discriminated across an individual’s name…

This is seen clearly in stanza twenty-five, “I guess being colored doesn’t make me not like the same things other folks like/ who are the other races.” It is clearly seen in this stanza that Hughes is saying a colored person is not different from a non-colored since both of them can relate to liking the same music, and wanting the same gifts fro Christmas. Hughes uses this image to paint an even…

Personally, I feel like race is a difficult subject to talk about. I never want to step on anyone’s toes, and I feel as if I don’t have the right to talk about race. I have never experienced a disadvantage because of the color of my skin, but I am aware that I am held at different standards because I am white. I realize that racism is an issue that many people deal with on a daily basis. Therefore, I try to be aware of my biases and try learn more about myself. The presentation and the film…

Approximately 12–13% of the American population is African-American, but they make up 35% of jail inmates, and 37% of prison inmates of the 2.2 million male inmates as of 2014. How is it that 13% of our population makes up 35% of our jail inmates. How can this minority group have such high statistics? This statistic proves how corrupt our judicial system is. The enslavement of black men is a prevalent societal issue that many seem to look over. Systematic racism is ingrained in the upbringing of…

As I skim the internet and history books for information on the 1940’s discrimination between blacks and whites. Many images arise that are grotesque in nature with bodies hanging from trees, badly beaten and burned. In the back ground of these images you can see white faces floating with laughter and wide eyes staring at their tortured victims. These people truly enjoyed the murdering of their African American neighbors. Most of these lynchings took place in poor southern towns and as a result…
