Early ideas of race were colored by these connotations, and they still play a critical role in the way we understand race today. This paper will

American society likes to believe that race relations in our country are no longer strained. We do not want to hear about the need for affirmative action or about the growing numbers of white supremacist groups. In order to appease our collective conscious, we put aside the disturbing fact that racism is alive and well in the great U.S.A. It hides in the workplace, it subtly shows its ugly face in the media, and it affects the education of minority students nationwide. In the following excerpts from an interview with a middle class African American male, the reader will find strong evidence that race plays a major role in determining the type and quality of education a student receives.
When we think of racism we think of discrimination of a lower of less powerful group but, when you hear reverse racism what do you think of ? Reverse racism is prejudice directed at members of a historically dominant racial group. In my perspective, reverse racism is not real. Reverse racism is not real because, exclusion is not considered to be racist, and “all history is white history” so, there should be no need celebrate and rejoice their history because they have been dominant over different races for so many years and they are the ones who made other races strive to live and get through rough times. I am persuaded to conclude that reverse racism is invalid, due to my examples and statements made.
Race is the classification of people depending of their ancestry and genetics which ultimately determines their skin color and physical traits. Racism is the prejudice or discrimination of another race, driven by feelings of superiority of one's own race. Often times racism is driven by a system that "clearly operates to the advantages of whites and to the disadvantages of people of color" (110). Race has an impact on our society every single day since we tend to hold back from approaching people that we think wrong of, due to misunderstanding of their race. There are also times that we hold back from approaching people we feel like we are being prejudiced against and will be misunderstood as we come in contact with that person. It is not so much about race but about how media portrays different races and how we perceive them through what we

Although many experts disagree on what to do about racism, it has been a huge problem in America for many years. What exactly is racism? Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior. Racism is still alive and well in 2017, if anything, it's worse now than it has been in a while.

Racism is a feeling of superiority towards your race over other races in the world.

One is the newborn nursery and the other is the grave yard. When those newly birthed babies go into nursery they don 't even have a concept of race and prejudice. It is only how we raise these children. Racism is taught. Everyone of those single babies deserve equal opportunities, respect and value.
