The Problem of Racial Discrimination

We have issues: more specifically , the United States has issues, continuous and all-encompassing issues of racial inequality.The United States is experiencing a outburst of racism, as can be seen from the 2014 killings of two unarmed African-American men, to the brutality of white supremacy in Charleston and the string of arsons in black churches across the South. Of course, it’s nothing new for a nation with a long history of extreme racist violence—the most recent lynching-related death occurred in 1981, hardly a lifetime ago, when Michael Donald was hanged by two members of the Ku Klux Klan.The United States, however, continues to avoid its history on race, refusing to confront its past in a “post-racial,” “colorblind” society, and that policy of systemic ignorance is particularly strong when mention of racial equality is brought up. Although the concept of equality has never truly existed in this world, as can be traced back to the very beginnings of recorded history we see the nobles ruling the commoners, conquerors reigning over the conquered, the will of man dominating women; the United States needs to acknowledge the fact that racial inequality still exists within our country and has in no way progressed towards betterment.

Almost everyone has heard the famous hymn, “Jesus Loves the Little Children,” but not all understand the true meaning when it says, “Red, and yellow, black, and white, they are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.” The moment sin entered into the world, perfection no longer existed. This loss of perfection changed the way humans viewed each other. It made one ethnicity view another ethnicity as inferior, and in doing so, created what people now know of as racism. For centuries, racism has been a part of society, shaping the way humans view each other, but with the aid of Young Women 's Christian Association (YWCA) - Stand Against Racism, racial discrimination and injustice can be eliminated.

Three white employees (Lynette, Barret, W.T. Melton, and Treva Nickens) file suit against Whirlpool Corp. The plaintiffs (Lynette, Barret, W.T. Melton, and Treva Nickens) (Lynette, Barret, W.T. Melton, and Treva Nickens) alleged race-discriminated in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and §1981 and retaliation in violation of Title VII, based on befriending with and advocacy on behalf of their African-American co-workers. The plaintiffs (Lynette, Barret, W.T. Melton, and Treva Nickens) also claimed they were subject to hostile work environment based on their association with the black employees.

In this day in age Racial stereotypes appear to be as rampant as they were in the early 200s. The discussion and debate about race can be a sensitive and difficult subject for most individuals. Living in America is tough as it is with all of the crisis’s and chaos taking place left and right. That matter of race is a crisis of its own so to speak. One cannot express themselves completely to the extent of his or her liking without being judged, labeled or categorized.

Is the society’s draconian attendance towards the people of distinguishable race a fair measure of precaution or an act of discrimination? In the society we live in today, the enactment of racial bias has made a monumental impact, shaping many individuals ' lives by default. However, is it fair for the innocent individuals to be shrouded with the burden of being a particular ‘race’? After witnessing, the incident of Ferguson, I became dreadfully discontented to discovered that people today have self-established the immense belief that people of color are the primary cause of danger, and therefore, they must be regarded as hazardous creatures. Moreover, the reason triggering the detrimental policing was due to the color of the victims, illustrating the ugly truth of racial profiling still remains intact to our society. Although racial profiling and prejudice are disavowed publicly by Americans, many statistics and research on implicit racial bias debated the citizens of the United States still perceive a person 's physical in determining their likeliness to committee crime (Bornstein, Avram). Unfortunately, it is ingrained in today’s society that institutional structures demonstrate persistent inequality and unequal distribution of societal resources (White, Rob).

The United States is considered one of the countries that have more immigrants in the world. Also, is considered as one of the countries that treat their population equally. According to Teresa Welsh, in 2013 North America has 989,900 immigrants, leading the U.S to be the top country for having more migrants. However, immigrants are facing discrimination and racism in this country.

The government that directs the country of the USA is declining towards the side of racial characterization. The current president Donald J. Trump who is the head of the US government, must be a person with the lowest level of ignorance. The history of racial characterization gives us the idea that it is a bad road for those who acquire it and lead a country towards a better future. The US Constitution has been changed with amendments not to characterize people, granting freedom to American citizens.

African-Americans are using drugs less than Caucasian, but amazingly are 6 times more likely to be stopped and searched for them.The drug percentage is about 5.8% for African-Americans and 10.5% for caucasians, and the search rate is 45/1000 African-American and 7/1000 caucasians. Many people are still being racist and because of color, a style, sexual orientation, or what you may have. You're put in a group classified on these things and are judged on by the world. Racism and discrimination is happening and it needs to stop. From Jobs, stereotypes, and the system, racism and discrimination still live.

Introduction Racial discrimination is defined as “when a person is treated less favorably than another person in a similar situation because of their race, color, descent, national or ethnic origin or immigrant status” (Thomas). Racial discrimination in the workplace is a real problem in our world today. Not only is it against the Constitution, but it is morally and ethically wrong. Throughout history, many people have fought for equality among races, and the fact that racism is still an issue in our country today is proof that the United States still has a lot to change. Racism is an issue that has been going on in our country since slavery first began in the United States in 1619 (Slavery). That’s over 400 years ago. Racism is prevalent in many workplaces, and those who are in the minority experience inequality through payment, promotion, and treatment.

Racial discrimination has been an issue in the United States since its founding. Specifically, African Americans have had limited rights and opportunities because of their skin color. Thankfully though, the years have brought laws and regulations that improve the lives of colored individuals. These changes include the right to vote, own property, and even interact freely with the white communities. Despite these vast improvements, there are still aspects in the United States government that are not in favor of the colored community; one of these aspects is the judicial system and sentencing. Throughout history and even today, blacks face harsher and longer punishments than whites for comparable crimes. It is estimated that punishments placed on “black males in the federal system are nearly 20 percent longer than those imposed on white males convicted of similar

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?

The more we comprehend our self, our social location and the nature and history of power, oppression, and prejudice, the more we will be able to identify and react racism and discrimination when we see it. The harsh truth is that racism is something we learn not something we were born with, it’s very serious issues and shouldn’t be ignored, we should never try and hide our identity in fear of being discriminated, the good news is that no matter where we are there will always be support for us. Just make sure we look in the right places.

Race Discrimination is a problem in our world for many reason. While many people may say that it this isn’t a problem because dIscrimination/racism could separate people in categories or races. Even though insulting one's race is bad, it could describe who they are. It can also make people have a stronger faith on themselves to push on and live life with the insult.This is still an issue that we need to think about because it can affect people in many ways. In this essay this problem will be explored by examining how this issue emerges in The wife story by Ursula Le Guin as well as in additional research that can be found in the book, The rise and fall of the jim crows law by Richard Wormser and in the website What is discrimination

For centuries a dilemma that has affected the whole world has been the practices such as discrimination and prejudice. To begin with what is discrimination in the first place? The exact definition would be fair treatment of a person, racial group, and minority. Millions of American daily face a certain type of discrimination and whether or not it may be a surprise to many a roughly 45 percent of American Muslims are being discriminated and or threaten due to its religion preference. The amount of American Muslims being afraid to freely express their religion is becoming to increase daily due to this discrimination. Take for example Abdullah Antepeli a professor from Duke University who recently wrote an article explaining how he was stopped

Civil rights activist Al Sharpton said, “We have come a long way from the days of slavery, but in 2014, discrimination and inequality still saturate our society in modern ways”. This quote rings true where equality in the workplace is concerned. In Toni Cade Bambara’s short story “The Lesson”, we see what social discrimination looks like through the eyes of children who are observing a wealthier part of town. In their eyes, they see and injustice and question why it is not being altered into something centered more on equality and equal opportunity. Toni Cade Bambara’s story “The Lesson” is written to make a point about racial discrimination in the workplace and social inequality.
