Since The Beginning Of Time, Racial Inequality Has Influenced

We have all sat through multiple history classes and learned about slavery, segregation, and the Civil War. We have all seen brutal movies and presentations based on racial injustices and the lack of equality. So often, we forget that these issues are still so present in our community. Slavery is illegal in the United States but other forms of racial profiling, insensitivity, and racism continue to be a recurring social barrier. Racism is still very much alive. The United States is “equal” yet somehow segregated. There isn’t quite a quick fix to this problem. Clearly, this has been an ongoing issue and requires major progression in our personal global

The United States, even though considered the land of freedom, has been struggling with lingering racism and discrimination throughout the 19th and 20th century. Democratic reform throughout the century were implanted to eliminate the “tyranny of the white majority” Yet many scholars like Tocqueville, Fredrick Harris and WEB DuBois have challenged these results. The reality is that the tyranny of white majority has continued throughout the 18th to the 21st century resulting in a society that has suppressed and constantly failed to integrate African American into the white society by neglecting the race, using natural prejudice, race neutral policies, and laws that benefited whites more than African Americans.

In our nation there are a lot of topics that we do not like to talk to talk about, a lot of things that we like to ignore instead of call out because it makes certain people “uncomfortable”. This topic is the unfair treatment towards African-Americans in america. When we kneel for the National Anthem, which we have the right to do, we’re spat on, have drinks poured on us, and called out of our names. There are constant hate crimes against us such as an 8 year old boy being hung for the color of his skin and no act of discipline were done to the teens who hung him. For some reason we even have hate rhetoric in our government.

In America there are still several parts of our society that remain racially unequal including, the workforce, the wealth gap between minorities and whites, as well as incarceration rates and police behavior. The unemployment rates in America are relatively high and because of how hard it is to get a job, the employers prefer to hire someone that they feel more comfortable with, which typically aren’t minorities. The wealth gap between minorities and whites is continuing to grow as the years move on and because the wealth gap many people are starting to turn to criminalism. Because of the amount of people turning to criminalism, the incarceration rates of minorities is steadily increasing. Racial inequality in one section of our society can affect all of the other sections as well. It is a “snowball effect” of sorts. One small aspect of racial inequality can lead to another and another and so on and so forth until our whole society is unequal. Racial inequality has a negative impact on our society

The social construction of race changed due to the great number of immigrants coming to the U.S. Once they arrived they must identify as a certain race which is based on phenotype or ancestry. This concept is seen in the reading What is Racial Domination? by Matthew Desmond and Mustafa Emirbayer explains the effect phenotype has on an individual such as the color of their skin, eyes and also ancestry too. The social construction of race is related to the racial inequality because it determined if a person had rights or not. This idea is seen through the two supreme cases Ozawa and Thind. For the case of Ozawa for example, he used his own skin color and the idea that race should not matter but the beliefs they hold. He was denied citizenship

One would not want to live a life if they knew their chances of reaching their goals, were almost certainly downsized or marginalized by their race. Well, sadly this is the case for Blacks in America. Blacks are often found to be, at the bottom of the American society. America is suppose to be “The land of the free, and the home of the brave,” allowing all citizens equal opportunity. However in a harsh reality it is not, but instead the land of the incapacitated, and home of the Whites. Looking back in time, America has always been a country of racial inequality that benefited Whites and demeaned any other race. Examples of racial inequality in our history consist of the American-Indian war, slavery, Jim Crow laws, and general discrimination. Thus the term “White Supremacy,” meaning Whites have dominance and are superior, came about. The feeling of Whites Supremacy is still felt in today’s society, and is one of many reason why race still matters. Even though the are many theories of why race still matters, it is important to realize 3 major reasons why that is so. In short, race matter because of the increased likelihood of minorities experiencing: poverty, racial profiling and Institutional racism.

Social inequality is a recurring problem throughout, not only the country, but the world. There are all kinds of inequalities throughout the world, and without any person or thing creating awarenesses this will induce more pandemonium. With that being said, in order to terminate racial inequality, people that are capable of bringing awareness to it need to start producing familiarity locally because it will suddenly erupt onto a more global impact. When analyzing how starting to bring awareness to social inequities and raise awareness at a local level can turn global and change the world, one who explores the specifics of racial discrimination can aware others about the dangers and results of this certain inequality. Politics, professional athletes protesting, and media discrimination are ways people have been making local awareness a global reality. In the end, with more and more awareness, more and more people will help end inequalities throughout the world.

A lot of racial incidents has been happening in African American communities, such as the police brutality in Ferguson, and Baltimore between 2014 and 2015. Racism, discrimination, and police brutality, which will still happen because other minorities don’t understand the history of the African American. And even though if they did, they still would do basically the same thing. Minority groups, such as the black community, should have their voices heard about things concerning racism and oppression. Because most of the oppressed are happening with Black African American. While others, who have no experience with discrimination should not speak on the topic. If minority voices were given more attention and coverage about race related issues and racism in America, we would be able to make progress in correcting certain problems. By doing so, this would help

Tracing back to the earlier centuries, blacks have suffered the most severe form of racial discrimination. White extremists have always treated blacks as lesser people, and in this manner, unprivileged them of basic needs and rights. Before the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S.A, the situation in the country had a very harsh picture of racial inequality. Life was hard for blacks, due to the fact that they had no rights, no justice, and no voice. The United States needs to establish strategies for eliminating this inequality as all men should be treated equally. Racial injustice is a conspicuous variety of discrimination by race where people have restrictions to fully access different organizations, for instance, churches or colleges due to their

The structural approach to racial inequality sheds light on the way interactions between numerous actions, policies, and institutions produce and maintain the white supremacist status quo. Structural racism refers to the way American social, political, and economic institutions systematically privilege white people, to the disadvantage of people of color.

Today I woke up and realized how shaded the world is. I turned on the news and seen the country headed to a dark place because a White police officer shot and killed an unarmed Black child. Being Black has never been easy in United States. Growing up my mother always told me that you are born with two strikes against you already. She would say, “You are a male and you are Black.” I never understood what she meant until I had opened my eyes. At this point in United States’ history, a conflict of outstanding magnitudes is happening. The goal is to get United States to recognize that there is still abundant amount of work to be done to eradicate the wrongdoings that have been committed and continued against Blacks in this democracy. After years of hard work, and leaving many without any way to advance in a reasonable standard of living, does United States truly believe that it has freed itself of this circumstances by screaming, "You are equal!" A Black man goes into an interview after calling to make sure that it is still a job opening. After seeing the man in person, the owner of the store becomes uncomfortable and says that the job is filled. This is an example of what happens to Blacks on a day to day basis.

Race has been viewed differently, in the world, these past 400 years. Throughout these years, racial hierarchies have been defined and created by the people’s recognition of inferior people. Skin color is one of many ways inferiority has been seen throughout history and even to this day. The only reason changes in interpretation of race came to be possible was because of regulations that were put into place throughout those years, the laws that were created for them, and of course, the nonviolent civil rights movements.

Multiple factors contribute to racial inequality. Under those circumstances, many people have this belief that a particular ethnic group is superior compared to others. For instance, Berlin states, “white people set black people apart socially and ideologically. The belief that people of African descent were somehow different, if not in origins then certainly by experience and perhaps by nature.” For this reason, racism is different in different parts of the world. Different cultures teach different values to their citizens. Ultimately, fear of different ethnic groups could cause racial inequality from the 1500s to the present, ethnocentrism is the main cause because it is expressed in different ways in the United States, countries teach

Racial and ethnic inequalities loom large in American society. People of color face structural barriers when it comes to securing quality housing, healthcare, employment, and education. Racial disparities also permeate the criminal justice system in the United States and undermine its effectiveness. Minorities such as the Black and Latino communities have been disenfranchised from privileges that not only have been preserved and upheld for the White community, but have gone as far as being characterized as outcasts in the United States’ economic and political arena. The impoverished today is not only poor, but most of them are also members of the minority races. Minorities are not only racially alienated, but as well as economically from the mainstream. Ethnic and racial minorities have been affected by this concept of Socioeconomic Status that not only encompasses income, but also educational attainment, financial security and subjective perceptions of a social status and social class. The relationship between SES (socioeconomic status), race and ethnicity are concepts that are intimately intertwined and often times segregate members of the minority community. With no real voice amongst minority communities, influential individuals from the Black and Latino communities such as Malcolm X and Cesar Chavez created racially charged movements amongst their own communities that enabled minorities to educate themselves upon the socioeconomic inequities and to increase efforts to

Racism has had a great impact in our country and around the world. African Americans get treated poorly for their race, how they look, and their differences from whites. There have been many attempts to make it known that blacks are facing these prejudice actions. These actions include hatred, abuse, discrimination, and many other things.
