White hat

believed and what one perceives as real based on one’s own thoughts. One white American may believe in denial while another may not. It would be absurd to assume that everyone in some way has not heard another express their views in which some amount of prejudice helped form it. Depending on the situation and participants involved; emotions run wild and in effect a prejudice maybe born. In my experiences, there is a tendency for white people to ignore the notion…

minorities. So the general public, or white people, feared minorities and thought them to be dangerous. Central Park was also considered a safe area, so when they hear a white jogger was attacked there, everyone flipped out because they no longer saw Central Park as a safe place to be or to bring their kids. Maybe if it had been a white man, it would have been different. But this was different, this was not just one but a group of black men attacking a white women. Crime is expected…

they think they are better than the others. In the play “ A Raisin in the Sun” by Lorraine Hansberry, you can see how race becomes a huge impact because during the slavery movement till 1960’s there was a conflict between the African Americans and white americans due to their skin color. Still, racism can be seen in today’s society, but not as prevalent as it was from back then, but it should not continue because we are supposed to get along with each other not hate one another. The Younger…

In is an eye-opening documentary that informs people of what the war on drugs truly is. The black community has been the initial target of the war on drugs (drugs and drug abuse). This is something that is very hard for me to understand because the white community are the ones who brought the drugs over in the first place, and minorities are made to suffer. Also, higher powers put so much focus on people, that they loose site of what the real problem is. Drugs are the monsters that kill people…

from communities of respectable citizens through the violence (p. 182→Houses). Despite emancipation and formal legal equality, violence conveyed a symbolism of the assailants’ visions for southern society’s hierarchical racial order (181→Houses). White men claimed mastery over their households, their property, and the security of their family members as a powerful link to popular constructions of manhood and citizenship. So, through attacks on domestic spaces, these men acted out the…

Racism encouraged solidarity, but blacks did not take one method to cope or end antiblack racism. White women enjoyed new opportunities and privileges and took more roles in the public eye. Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham stated that “categories of analysis- race, gender, class and sexuality- are interrelated and overlapping”.Black women are also thought of as having certain class and sexual identities while white women allegedly possess a different class and sexual identity. In this era many black…

discipline children, in the African American community, it is often referred to as receiving a whooping/whipping. The difference between African Americans and White Americans on how children are disciplined is very drastic. While the majority of the African American community feels children should be raised under strict disciplinary rules; the White American community tends to follow…

become involved directly with those events, instead, it focuses on exploring the remaining effects of race through self-hatred. Many characters from the novel who are African American are devastated with the cultural and already imposed notions of white perfection to the limit that they hate themselves for not being up to society`s standards. The best character that Morrison utilized to depict these outcomes is Pecola Breedlove, a passive, eleven-year old, black girl whose lack of parental…

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. As in example if any minority will kill a innocent victim they would be arrested and sentence to prison, while any white individual can go to a school, daycare, movie’s, etc., and shoot the building…

They had to endure the harsh criticism from their white counterpart. They also had to endure individuals treating them differently and treating them as though they did not belong. African Americans in Harlem had to prepare themselves for the nasty looks the white individuals would give them and how the white community would respond to the idea of African Americans coming to Harlem. Lastly, African Americans would have to face the reality that the whites did not want them to intrude in their…
