From the article, personally, I gather the idea that some African American students are scared to score better than the white students because they did not want to get bullied or taunted.

There are many stories where slaves would sneak their masters books to teach themselves how to read and educate themselves on their own. Based on the interactionist perspective African Americans are automatically have a unequal learning opportunity. They are often perceived as “slow learners.” By placing the students in this category teachers and parents hinder the children’s true potential. There may be many African Americans who are highly

During this time more than ever, African Americans are able to speak on subjects that can affect us in the future. Growing up, racial profiling was never a big deal to me or my family. I was taught to never judge someone by how they look but upon their actions. Ironic to think that is how one is taught to act but stereotypes are now bigger than ever right? Being a high school student I never payed much attention to anything outside of sports, academics and what crazy adventure me and my friends would be sucked into the upcoming weekend. I didn’t have an opinion when surveys asked if I felt that I wasn't being treated equally to my fellow American classmate with all the same qualities I held.

After watching Verna Myers speak about African Americans, one could see the pure justice in her eyes. For some, this video made them take a step back and realize just how biased our world currently is. In all categories of life, each human being has been negatively stereotyped in their own way. In life I have really only experienced one circumstance of being negatively stereotyped and that was being not only physically a female, but a human who has multiple tattoos.

The catch is even with mine being on my sides and being hidden 24/7, the looks of disgrace and the thought of I have no potential of getting a real career still happens. Tattoos have become to where it has their own stereotype questions and comments like, “You are going to regret those when you get older,”

In my graduating class, there were seven girls: four Arabs, one Somali, one Bengali, and myself, an African American who also has Ethiopian heritage.

What’s one thing that most Americans have in common? It can be seen as they walk down the streets with their head hung low, wait in doctors’ offices as they lean against the wall and on the bus or train as they seclude themselves in a world of their own making. Give up? The one thing that most Americans have in common, but don’t realize it is their mutual dependency on all forms of media to get them through the day. While media has it perks, there are some drawbacks where certain ethnicities are concerned. Take for instance the black man and his black female counterpart, often, are given roles that display black people in a negative light which in turn assigns them negative stereotypes. The negative media bias towards those of African Americans

Black, White, Hispanic, and Asian; we all have our thoughts on them. What do I mean you ask? The thoughts that we have already preset for the different races.

Hip-hop culture has been rapidly growing as a popular trend amongst youths in Western culture. Social media platforms like Instagram are flooded with photos of white teens posing in black rap artist t-shirts, wearing their hair in corn-rows, and captioning their pictures with famous black rap artist quotes. When quoting these lyrics, or listening to these hip-hop songs, they most likely are not thinking of the meaning behind the artists’ words.
