Recruiting minorities in the police field can be very difficult for many different reasons. For the African-Americans minorities they already have problems, and that was being slaves. African-American's were not seen to be able to hold power and to give authority rule, but have it told to them. These men in the early 1940's could be police officers, but could not arrest whites and only worked in the black neighborhoods. They gave the men jobs, because of the 14th amendment but stripped them of all police powers, other than arresting their own kind.

The United States prides itself on being a land of opportunities, and in many ways it is. We look at countries like South Africa, which not long ago was segregated through the laws of Apartheid, and we are glad that we are so much further along than the land of Mandela. However, every now and then we need to stop and ask ourselves just how far along we really are, and we have to wonder if many of the once oppressed countries we helped free are not passing us up in the area of civil rights and opportunity.

Black Americans groups are extremely diverse in a number of ways. Black Americans groups include people areas and this diversity affects their behavior in different racial backgrounds (American Indian, Black, and White) and includes people of Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Spanish, and Central or South American origin. Each of these different cultural groups share a common language and some cores values that result in their being classified together, yet another group also carries its own unique culture, traditions and perspective. People from these different groups also have different immigration histories that further contribute to the diversity within the African group.

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek” Barack Obama. The question is always asked does the media reflect the reality of society, or does society try and imitate the reality shown by the media? There are a number of stereotypes associated with African Americans in our society such as African American men are athletes, rappers, criminals, deviant, streetwise, uneducated, and unemployed just to name a few. African Americans in the media have changed through the years. The history of African Americans on TV or minorities in general is hampered by the racial conflicts and segregation that are embedded in American society. Historically, black actors have been grouped stereotypically and assigned to comedy. This has often been traced to the genre of black minstrelsy that was popular in the early 20th century.

In 1619, the first recorded Africans were recorded in British North America in Jamestown, Virginia, and the numbers began to increase as more English settlers died from harsh conditions and the Africans were brought to work as laborers. In the late 1700s

What is Misogynoir? Black queer feminist, Moya Bailey coined this term in 2010 to describe the racialized sexism that black women face; This is mostly shown in American pop culture and Media causing people of all races to internalize this. This paper will not only be explaining the term in depth but breaking down the root causes and action plans to be taken to educate both men and women on this term. For this paper, I ‘ve conducted many interviews with a number of black men and women, in these interviews I asked them questions about themselves, their families and about both their romantic and non-romantic relationships. I also asked questions about their journey in the world of blackness, because every black journey is different.

As a person of color, I have a bias for people of color. As humans our recognition for race emerges in infancy; we are innately drawn to people who sound like us and look like us. Through my social identity I associated myself with certain racial groups. But my bias goes beyond social psychology.

The problem with this and others is that the behaviors will foster a sense of resentment due to the unfair treatment of African Americans. Affirmative Action policies then tend to come into play because individuals feel the need to take action whether it’s immediately or at a later time. The problem with this scenario is that the individual in question should not be held responsible for taking action but the organization, when faced with scrutiny should act right away. This will help avoid unwanted litigation from not addressing the concerns of African Americans. Another factor might be, being looked over for a possible promotion. There was an incident where African Americans who were pilots for an air lined complained that they had been looked

Throughout history, minority groups have faced many hardships as a result of the different pigmentation of their skin complexion, socioeconomic status, and language varieties. Each factor affecting the other in a cyclical pattern. Language varieties associated with these stigmatized minority groups are often devalued because they fall short of what is known as Standard English. Minority group speakers typically use non-standard English such as Spanglish and African American Vernacular English. These non-standard English practices are misconceived as “broken English”, “ungrammatical”, and “defective”, which are incorrect and demeaning. These language varieties negatively impact the images of these minority groups reflecting

Abstract: This review will consider the reasons why African American students are often referred for disciplinary action in comparison to their Caucasian peers as well as the disproportionate academic achievement gap faced by minority students and students in poverty in comparison to their Caucasian peers. This article will also discuss the impact of trauma from racial stigma on learning and behavior, and serve to primarily provide immediate solutions to educators and stakeholders where African American children can thrive both academically and socially through culturally reflective instructional practices. This review defines and explains the achievement gap of African American and minority students and students in poverty in relation to(about)

I have no doubt in my mind I contain a small bias against people of different ethnic backgrounds. This is something that I am trying very hard not to obtain but just like Allan G. Johnson mentioned in Power, Privilege, and the Difference, we are ultimately scared of the unknown, and because the unknown scares us, we form a bias against them in order for us to explain a reason that we are scared.
