Racism And Discrimination In America

The American colonies were established with the idea of freedom and liberty. If America was truly founded on these principles, then racism would not exist today. Up until now, the United States of America is a nation of immigrants, every race and culture is represented in America. As a multicultural nation, the country is still facing racial issues today.

So here are the facts: According to national poll commissioned by the Episcopal Church 98% of Americans feel that there is some type of discrimination still alive in America today. 7/10 Americans feel that African Americans are directly discriminated against. But it can happen to anyone whichever race. Journal Science states that “Many people unconsciously harbor racist attitudes. But is that an excuse for hostility?

Through the transition of opinion left behind a hysterical fear of radical racism and recollection of the demeanor of The United States’ history regarding race. A population in disillusion of the thought of racism and it’s consequences. Tensions have built to the degree some are pursuing anyone who is racist. Although racism is less prevalent today, an anomaly has surfaced, where people get accused for verbally portraying something supposedly ‘racist’ but rather are purposely taken out of context. Often for personal gratification, a righteousness prosecution of anything that could be manipulated or slightly interpreted as racist or isn’t politically correct. This ‘P.C. culture’ stands to remove ‘Rude’ or ‘Hateful’ speech and believes, especially

Nowadays, we can still feel the existence of racial discrimination. As we all know, Michael Jackson might be the world’s most famous singer who was born in an African-American family with inborn skin black. Nobody knows why he changed his skin color from black to white. America is a diversity country, which was built in African-American, Latinos, Asian-American and other minority groups have been discriminated in many fields, however, these different race always troubled by the racial discrimination. For example, why black people can not get the better education, is that just because of the problem of poverty? The racial discrimination is still happening, it is hard to overcome the problem, but we can put an end to this situation, to decrease the number of the times it happens.

Racism has been part of American History since the beginning of the Countries origin. This issue includes the mistreatment of The Native Americans that were forced out of their lands and placed on reservations to black slaves being brought here from Africa. Throughout the history of this great nation people of the U.S. have moved away from these racist beliefs, yet, it is still a relevant issue in today’s society. Today slavery is no longer an institution, and discrimination is not accepted by society. There still remains an underlying separation between people of different races in this country. Those in positions of power have not made attempts to fix the issue but to use the racial divide to their advantage. These people do not make this country better but they help take part in the downward spiral that this great country is headed in. An analysis of discrimination in the United States presents one challenge facing Americans: unifying the country or continuing to separate it through racial divide.

Racism will keep a society chained to the ground one foot nailed to the floor (Rollins), racism is like being slaves it is not possible for societies to move on when we keep this chain on forever and ever people must see that hate will never be the solution the only thing this world needs is love, love to each other it is the only way to be happy racism separates everyone. Racism is a wide word, but the importance is to realize that racism is hurting everyone.

America faces many problems and issues. The three I have chosen to write about today are racism, North Korea seems to be getting worse as time goes on. Racism is spreading across America. Drugs are killing more and more people every day.

What I found out about society is that it is racist and sexist. The reason why is because their was a white guy steal a bike in a park yet only two people tried to stop and they were old people, also someone said "First impressions matter". Their was another guy but black and people started yelling and calling the police and it happened in seconds. Their was another one but was a girl instead and all the guys helped her out and one did it in front of his wife even. This all means and makes society racist and sexist.

America is still believed to be a deeply racist country, African Americans remain fighting for their legal right after many ordeals throughout the period of being slave and the time of segregation. Presently, racism is declining in America, some part were yet, still being effected, and colored people inhabitant in that part is still being impertinent and mistreated physically, mentally and by the community. During the past recently years, treatments and violence from discriminatory police officers toward young African Americans remains one of the toughest problem to counter which continuing in American life (“Targeting of Young Black,” 2014). Most black children at the age of 11 to 15 and possibly even younger are targeted by law enforcement

The first video was based on an experiment with taxi drivers who were paid actors that made conversation with their customers about different races, ethnicities, and even homophobia(ABC Prime, 2008). They conducted this experiment in Las Vegas, Savannah, and New Jersey to see if they would get different reactions from different people. The first person in the experiment was a Puerto Rican woman on her way to work in New Jersey. She was quick to debunk the notion that all Arabs are terrorists and even said that she is far from prejudice(ABC Prime, 2008). However when her driver started to talk about Asians she piped in and said, “They can’t see right or left”(ABC Prime, 2008). As the experiment continued there were people who either sided with their driver or challenged them. One person in particular was an African American women who stood up to her taxi driver and told him that America is a place where people can think different things and that is why America is the way it is but also that America was not built on intolerance or hypocrisy and that is why America is great(ABC Prime, 2008).

Nelson Mandela once said “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than to its opposite.” This is very true if people can be racist and mean then why can’t they also learn to be loving and caring for other no matter what or who the other person is. “You’re white, so you are in the group. But you- over there, you are black, so you cannot be in the group with us.” You hear something like that almost every day, because discrimination of color is everywhere. Discrimination comments can be heard in schools, office/work, and even along sidewalks. This happens is every single neighborhood, including my own neighborhood. I thought discrimination and segregation was stopped years back by the efforts of people like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. But the new world kids have brought it back. Discrimination is really bad because it encourages bullying based on skin color and inequality. It could be stopped by people who truly believe discrimination is bad and will stand up to make a difference.

The first topic is racism and when I think of my race I consider myself very lucky. Coming from a family who is Caucasian I believe I have not experienced much hardships or sufferings like other races have. I feel since I am white I just blend into the world because people who are African- American, Asian, Chinese, Indian, etc. are judged and discriminated in America because they are different. People who are different from me have experienced a lot of racism, but when it comes to me since I am white people think I am racists. I think it is worst being accused that you are racist because of the color of your skin than actually being racist because it is not true and it is hurtful. My teacher in my African American class explained to my class

The purpose of this research is to show the effects of racism in America. Racism is defined as one group assumes superiority over other groups that develop attitudes of arrogance and ignorance. Despite many laws and legislation attempts to eliminate the evils of racism, the problem focuses on the cultural differences of race, color and biological supremacy. Racism comes in the form of ethnic cleansing, hate groups, discrimination and restraint of equal rights. Over the last decade the media has become one of the major contributors of racism in the 21st century. The media have displayed labels on people of color from high- profile crime shows such as Law and

A bombing in a church, killing four young girls. An assasination of a beloved leader. A teen shot in his neighborhood by police. A whole demographic barred from specific establishments. All of these events, though seemingly unconnected, result from one thing: racism in America. That Birmingham church was bombed in 1963 by the Klu Klux Klan. Martin Luther KIng Jr. (a peaceful protester) was murdered because of his skin’s color. In 2014, Michael Brown was shot under questionable circumstances tied to his race. Throughout history Americans have fought for equality for black people. Today, African Americans are continuing to struggle for their freedom. The majority of Americans are not dealing with racial discrimination and instead

Racism is an unfair treatment of people or use violence against them, because they are different race from you, and racism is exists everywhere. In the United States, the whites are discriminating the black American, and in the France, French are discriminating the English, and in the same way, China also has the unavoidable regional discrimination in the present which is a destruction of national unity.
