White supremacy

towards the African American race. The KKK terrorized African Americans even after they gained legal equal rights in America out of pure hatred. Africans went into a mass hysteria, scared that they would be hung and used as display; many feared every white male especially in the southern states believing that they could possibly be part of the KKK and kill them. The KKK, specifically during the Lynching Era, created mass hysteria on newly freed African Americans by terrorising them using violent…

and the popularity of his character. Previously, Jungle Action had featured white protagonists saving African natives from villains. The plots were clearly patronizing and subversive to the black community. In 1973, the Black Panther took over the series as the main character. Even more significant of a change, the stories were now filled with primarily black characters – there would be months on end without a single white character making…

The Ku Klux Klan is a white supremacist organization that was formed in Pulaski, Tennessee, in 1865. Originally founded as a social club for former Confederate soldiers, the Klan evolved into a terrorist organization. “This was the KKK. Only WASP's could belong to it — White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. It is a common myth that the KKK targeted only the Blacks – also hated were the Jews, Catholics, liberals etc but most hatred was directed against the poor black families in the South who were very…

transcripts and letters of recommendations, there are several aspects one needs to be educated about. I believe that race/ethnicity should not be one of the variables that undergraduate and graduate schools use in making admissions decisions. Although white, non-Hispanic males make more on average compared to any other race with a bachelor’s degree (O’Brien 64), which then could lead to higher donating to the school’s endowment, the very fact of not letting someone into the institution based on…

My opinion one the video was that it was fascinating and interesting to watch for the reason that it was at high ends, and watching everyone’s different perspective of the concepts of pro white supremacy and anti-white supremacy kept me intertand. For example, while both have a valid reason to be for that movement in my own opinion I believe the entire “war” they have agents each other is really really stupid, history is there to learn from it not to make the same mistakes over and over again. I…

that inherently cater to white supremacy, such as public schooling, for some time. Disillusionment is tiresome and painful, like when the fourth wall is broken, all the wonder is lost. When wonder is lost and pain takes its place, the greatest challenge is to not be desensitized. So, I research the state of race relations often, I try to learn about the victims of racism, and, mostly, I try to discuss racism with people who are “colorblind” or unaware in my predominantly white upper class…

for racial equality. Unable to own African Americans as slaves, white supremacists made it their goal to assure African Americans would not achieve equal treatment. As for those that fought for such equality, a horrific fate often awaited. As we saw in the film with the character named Moses, silently fighting for the rights of African Americans was enough reason to be lynched. Lynching during this time was a popular method by which white supremacist groups such as the KKK enforced their role of…

In 1992, Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham addressed the need for greater voice in African American women’s history, naming the limits of white feminist scholarship and theory in its appeal to homogeneous conceptions of “womanhood,” “woman’s culture,” and “patriarchal oppression of women.” Diagnosing how this narrow practice of the field had resulted in an extensive backgrounding of race in the crossings of gender, sexuality, and class, Higginbotham’s critical intervention not only entailed the…

“Jim Crow” is actually a direct reference to a racist, traveling musical act from the 1830s. Blackface was used comically in these performances, and it provided yet another reassurance to viewers that African Americans were clearly inferior to their white neighbors. The phrase had become synonymous with African Americans by the 1890s, for which the discriminatory…

parameters such as gang history, purpose, involvement in illegal activities, propensity for violence, and its structure and composition. The Aryan Brotherhood, also known as The Brand, Alice Baker, AB or One-Two, is one of the nation’s oldest major white supremacist prison gang and…
