Racism Speech

Around the world there is so racism so going on, people who are different are so getting target by the white man. We believe that racism is completing gone but it's not. Racism is coming back slowly as the years pass us. The only thing that we can do is to keep our bodies safe from all the danger that might happen. Ta-Nehisi Coates has been talking about keeping our bodies safe protected from the danger that happening around the world. People are getting targeted for being different or not being accepted for who they are as humans.

In this world we are constantly being categorized by our race and ethnicity, and for many people it’s hard to look beyond that. Even though in the past many stood up for equality and to stop racism and discrimination, it still occurs. In this nation of freedom and equality, there are still many people who believe that their race is superior to others. These beliefs are the ones that destroy our nation and affect the lives of many. The people affected are not limited by their age group, sex, social status, or by their education level. Their beliefs can cause them to attack other groups verbally or in silence and even reaching to the point of violence. All of this occurs because we can’t be seen as a “people”, but rather like “species” that

Today we’re faced with multiple forms of inequalities and injustices. None of them are in no way, shape or form are okay or justifiable. While we as a people are striving to deal with the obvious forms of injustices, there is another form that is a real quiet one, but it can be heard throughout the world that we are living in and is a severe problem that needs to be addressed. The type of injustice that I’m speaking on is called: Environmental Racism. This has been a definite issue that not only affects the environment, but it also has effects on communities, individuals and it effects the economic system in the long run as well. Environmental Racism needs to be brought up in conversations within our communities as well as our local governments, so they will not forget their remains a problem.

Racism in Australia is a big problem and needs to be stopped. Racism refers to anything that has the effect of disadvantaging someone from what their racial background is. It affects peoples well-being along with it not being a good look for our nation to have. Is it really okay for people outside of our country to look and us and think that there are still people that are being racist? Opportunities for people should not be judged on their race. This is not fair. Racism is definitely not okay and should be stopped.

Without a doubt, we look at athletes today and from the past as if they are larger than life individuals. They show their personality through talent no matter what they play; some are better than others, for example some can kick or throw. However, at the end of the day they all have a different voice and a different story. People expect them to turn a blind eye to everyday events because of their status. People think of athletes as celebrities, they say they do not go through the same struggles as everyday people. That statement is far from the truth when it pertains to the issue of racism. Racism has been an unresolved problem for years whether it is in sports or athletes speaking for what they believe. Racism has had a big impact on sports such as Germany hosting the olympics and cheating, N.B.A. owners thinking they rule over their players, and the hidden discrimination that happens in locker rooms. Many times athletes have stood up for what they believed just to be shot down. Nowhere in their contracts does it state that because they are professionals that they must compromise their freedom of speech. Whether it be refusing to meet with the president, speaking out on racial injustices, or not standing for the national anthem, athletes have a strong voice in the fight against discrimination and other traumatic events. The fight for equality in sports and throughout America is a process that includes multiple organizations, the reaction of authority figures, and

Charles Lawrence evokes that racist speech should be regulated to avert defaming the minorities in “On Racist Speech” from the Chronicle of Higher Education. The article addresses that racial insults do not deserve to be under the First Amendment because “the perpetrator’s intention is to injure the victim” (Lawrence 2087). After all, the Supreme Court has asserted that if the perpetrator’s intention is to “inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace”, then they are not protected under the First Amendment (Lawrence 2086). The racist slurs on the university campus was one of the vexed topics since students should have “the right of an equal education in a safe environment” rather than being surrounded by verbal

After reading Nancy Gibbs article, “Will the Nation Succeed After Charlottesville Where Donald Trump Failed?”, I was immensely appreciative of what she had to say in regards to Trump’s response, well more specifically, lack of response towards the attacks at Charlottesville. When someone is held at such a high pedestal in which thousands and thousands of Americans look to this individual for not only clarity, but an appropriate manner of reacting to violent situations, this position of power should not be abused and rather upheld with the utmost urgency of addressing matters that need to be publicized. Just as Gibbs shed light on, Trump ultimately failed in commenting appropriately on the horrid acts of cultural violence, resulting in a large

In Ferguson, MO on August 9, 2014 at 12:01 am, Mike Brown Jr. (18 years of age, High school graduate) was gunned down in the streets of Ferguson by officer Darren Wilson (An officer in Ferguson, MO, born May 14, 1986, from Fourth Worth Texas), because Mike Brown and his friend Dorian Johnson were walking down the middle of the street only 5 minutes from my house in Ferguson. The killing of Mr. Brown Jr. didn’t have to happen plus there was no reason all the money spent on Darren Wilson’s training in what to do in standoff situations that any one should have been harmed/killed in that situation. Police officers are Average Salary (Police officers reported an average yearly salary of $56,260, or $27.05 an hour, as of

Why are people so worried about someone's skin color.People judge people on their skin because they might think they are a terrorist because of where they came from.Sometimes people judge people for their religion because they don't not belief in what someone else believes in.People still don't trust some people because of some terrorist attacks so they don't like to think they are the good people and they think they are bad guys.

Racism has been an ongoing social justice issue for decades, and we seem to always fail to make it stop. According to Dummett (as cited in Fernando, 1984), racism is the behaviour and attitude that emerges from our beliefs that certain people are different from us. These differences are mainly based on race, where people come from, physical characteristics, such as colour and hair type or behavioural characteristics, and that people categorized must be treated differently based on their needs, capabilities and rights. Usually there is one dominant and superior group and a few inferior groups (Dummett, as cited in Fernando, 1984). Coates and Morrison (2011) suggests that what we distinguish as real and true may not always be real and that things may not always be as it seems. Coates and Morrison (2011) also states that we live in a racial matrix, where we have this illusion of reality and that differences associated with racial status and hierarchies are perceived as the norm in society and this perception of reality is not easy to get rid of. There are four types of racism; subtle racism, colorism, internalized racism and reverse racism (Nittle, 2016). Racism can be explicit, but it can also be very subtle and covert, which is a huge problem, as most people do not even notice it and they do not realize that it happens on a day-to-day basis (Coates and Morrison, 2011). Racism is not only one problem or concern, as it is brings along a variety of other problems and is compiled

I have many friends that are minorities. I have African-American friends I have Asian friends and I feel comfortable being around them. The people who stereotype these people have obviously never gotten to meet the people who they stereotype. I can tell you that not every person who isn’t white is bad. People have to realize that white people can be bad too. I guarantee that other cultures think we are bad because of what some crazy white people have done. I agree with what Vera said. In every culture there are extremists. The same goes for white people. Not every African-American is a bad person, not every Arab is a terrorist. I think if people got to know what these people actually stood for and the type of people they are, then racism would be ridden from our country. But until then, we will never be a good society. For me personally, when my friend moved to Iowa from Vietnam back in 3rd grade, I wasn’t terrified, I didn’t question the things he stood for or any of that. Honestly, I thought it was cool that he didn’t know much English. I wanted to learn about the Vietnamese language and all the things they do over there that were different from us. Just like me, he wanted to learn about the United States. We would teach other things that each place believed in. I would teach him basketball, he would teach me about his Buddhist beliefs. There were never any thoughts of discrimination or racism with him.

For centuries a disease has plagued our nation just like AIDS has Africa, I bet you all are wondering what this disease is. You probably think that it can be treated with limited breakouts every few years. The virus I'm talking about is racism. Imagine living every day in fear knowing that where ever you go, everything you do is being observed and judged. Imagine walking into a store or a boutique and having someone watch every move of yours thinking that you’re going to steal something, or expose a bomb from under your clothes. Imagine being mocked and hated at school because you're "different". Imagine being left out because of your skin colour. No one enjoys being left out, but then, why do people judge? Why do people set a fire of

The color of your skin, the culture you’re in or the language you speak does not define one’s trait. Although the environment is a big influence on someone’s way of thinking, it doesn’t mean that everyone in that same environment will act the same. When people think that way, they are stereotyping. Racism is a big issue that still exist in the word today. Also, it’s a bad influence on the younger generation because it can influence them into thinking that one race is more superior than the other. Racism is so strong and influential that it lead to infamous historical events such as the Holocaust, Slavery in America, and the Japanese Internment, and therefore it is why the world today still experiences discrimination.

Xenophobia we’ve all seen it on the news, on the headlines of the newspapers, we have even heard it being spoken about around the dinner table. But do we know what xenophobia truly is?
