It is only possible for White Americans to achieve the American dream. While America claims to be equal, racial discrimination is still present in daily life. America is working towards becoming more open and equal, but as a society, America is not as advanced as it should be. Laws have been changing throughout time but the racism and oppression has not simmered. While large scale demonstrations of racism such as bombings and hate group riots don’t occur on a daily basis, small scales race…

about the discrimination of the court verdict. The elders compared Peter Liang with other white officers who did not get charged for second degree manslaughter crime on an African American citizen. The elders describe the guilty verdict for Peter Liang as “making an ethnic minority American a scapegoat to satisfy the political thirst of a few and to pay for the police brutality that has troubled the American society for a long time” (Sun Yuanfan). However, the elder has forgotten to mention that…

Imagine being segregated by society every day by the color of your skin. African Americans commonly faced challenges including, hate and abuse from white people. Most white people were always brought up to stay away from the blacks and not to be involved with them. In the 1930’s, African American rights were negatively impacted by segregation through transportation, education, and voting rights. African Americans lacked transportation rights. “Before she reached her destination, she quietly…

I believe the term “End of white America” means the ending of white’s believing and acting their more superior than other races. I believe the term white America comes from the way whites are being able to do things and get away with things without being enforced as in the same way as in minorities.

White privilege is not only linked to white males. All Caucasians are born with access to resources that are not granted to other races (Kendall 2002). To understand someone, you must walk in his or her shoes. For people who are born with certain privileges, it is hard to understand what it is like anything else. It is easy to take those…

“You’re just a white girl trapped inside a black body,” were words I heard repeatedly as a child. For the longest time I considered those words a compliment. As an African American girl native to the Congo, I was naïve enough to think this statement meant how fully immersed with American culture my appearance, language, and every aspect of my personality was becoming. To me, those words held acceptance from my American friends and families—the only imaginable thing any foreign child yearns for.…

This essay will look at speaker ethnicity, particularly African Americans, with a minor mention to Mexican Americans and Asian Americans. The question of how African Americans participate in the sound change in North America will be addressed, using Mather’s replica of the Department Store Study, originally conducted by Labov. As the original, the replica of the survey was “rapid and anonymous” (Labov, 2009) and therefore avoided the “observer’s paradox” (Labov, 2009). No factual evidence were…

These polls have always resulted in a white president. Obama has been the only head of state of non-White origin since time in memorial. It is, however, toxic to encourage the white identity as a supremacy towards the voting patterns of the United States. Donald Trump, a republican and the democrat candidate Hillary Clinton are the frontrunners to the November 8th elections. Donald Trump has firmly been basing his campaign ideologies on the interests of the white people and has been quite vocal…
