Over the course of this class, my understanding of Race and Racism in higher education has change my views and opinions on what the aspect of race and racism really is and how it can make a huge impact in our lives.

Race, simple external differences linked to other complex internal differences, has historically created issues in American society. “Race and racial inequalities are one of the most vital issues confronting contemporary U.S. society,” explains Sociologist Ronald Takaki. In the past race has had both biological and social implications across the country.

The presidential election of Barak Obama has led many to believe that we live in a post-racial society. If an African-American candidate has been elected in a predominantly white nation, this must signify that the U.S. does not have barriers that hinder African-Americans and other people of color from accessing opportunities or that we live in a color-blind society – in which race is not an issue. However, public perception on police profiling and the fairness of our justice system, public support for Donald Trump’s discriminatory ideologies, and racist actions by fraternities at universities illustrate the prevalence and continuity of racism in the U.S. Thus, to address the way in which racism plagues our society, it is important for political leaders and the media to educate believers of a color-blind society that racial discrimination is an issue which needs to properly be addressed for the well-being of all member of society.

I think black lives matter because they're no different than other races there just a different skin color but they are the in the same in the inside also Cops are shooting them for no reason, white people a bombing their houses,Trump says bad thing about black people, The KKK were killing black people.

Race is still an open topic in America and in the world, as it has always implied differentiation, inequalities and division among human beings, and has been the basis for some of the most tragic events in history.

The United States of America is comprised of citizens who have rights given to them that are explicitly written in the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights. All of these people exhibit diversity. Some came by choice, others by slavery. They have different religious and political beliefs, different sexual orientations, and different nationalities. Each man or woman has these freedoms given to them by the Constitution. However, public sentiment does not always follow the freedoms outlined in the Constitution. Racial conflict is an example of sentiment reflected in society that has existed for decades upon decades and has always been in the undertones of American society. Racial conflict is the most important and prominent recurring theme in the latter half of American history encompassing negative and positive trends shaping America into the society it embodies today.

At the end of the week that brought Baton Rouge, St. Paul, and Dallas, President Obama said, “America is not as divided as some have suggested.”

No idea in America has been as lasting as race. Unlike the 19th century notion that anyone could move out west and become rich by mining gold, the notion of race persists and continues to deceive people into believing in its authenticity (Morgan 1982). Those in power in the United States, seem determined to stay in power. They continue to marginalize minorities and keep dark-skinned persons in a position

Due to the complexity related to both individual and group racial identity, the subject is inherently interesting. Even more complex is the subject of race relations, which are the interaction and relationships between different racial groups. This interaction can be examined from infinite angles and on many levels. For instance, on an economic level, do members of different races have equal access to jobs? Do members of different races control a vastly different percentage of the country’s wealth? On a political level, do different races exert greater control over the political process? Does this control result in legislative and/or legal bias? Is this bias racism?

Throughout time and history, most of the White culture has become accustomed to the resulting diversity and changes. From the Reconstruction Era to the Civil Rights Movement, the struggle to achieve and maintain good race relations was evident. America was once the place where a black man had been considered property; now he’s considered an equal human being. These events and many more have shaped the American culture and relationships in which we live in today. It wasn’t always an easy transition for either Whites or African Americans. Some tension in racial relations still exists today. Take for example, the incidents in Ferguson and Baltimore. Race relations weren’t as tense as before, but some are still angered. Also, the presidential elections of President Obama for two consecutive years is strong proof that race relations have progressed. There has been less opposition, and in fact, increased support and involvement from Whites for most minority groups, especially African Americans. Overall, race relations have immensely improved from the time after Civil

“There is nothing wrong with a little casual racism.” One of my friends recently commented this phrase to me, in a joking manner, but it struck me. Is just a little casual racism fine? I am one to err on the side of, “All things in moderation” but is it truly not a problem? In our society, today we see racism in our soup. In many ways, I feel as if the word communist has been switched with the word racist. No longer do we call each other a communist if they are stingy or different, we just stoop to the words racist or xenophobe. In the essay, written by Roxanne Gay, called, Surviving Django, Gay makes claims that she was offended by the racially insensitive, supercharged, ego driven film, created by Quentin Tarantino. She proceeds to

Racism is the belief that one race is superior to another. Discrimination has been going on for generations among generations. Many years ago people of different races were divided from each other. Public places were segregated. Colored people had to use specific water fountains, schools were segregated, and blacks had to sit at the back of the buses. If they were to disobey then there would be consequences and repercussions. Equality was a figment of imagination, a dream the the minority groups had. Throughout the years racism has decreased and many things pertaining to racism were made illegal but that doesn’t mean racism disappeared. Although the separation of the races are more organized, racism can lead the world back to inequality,
