The Spread Of Racism

As the most globally known form of communication, social media outlets has continuously contributed to the dehumanization of African American males for decades starting with propaganda stereotyping the black men as the “black buck” to justify their domination and labor exploitation under chattel slavery in the mid-19th century(Herd 2014). To a hyper sexual rapist possessed by the over desire for white women during the era of wide spread lynching’s, helping to fuel the disenfranchisement and ideological support for extreme anti-black terrorism (Herd 2014). Ultimately providing the public with the idea that the black man is to be feared. From this historical backing of anti-black ideology by the system with laws such as black codes and segregation

There are three causes why racism is still going today. Those three causes are unfamiliarity, stereotypes, and selfishness. These causes are the reason why one race of people believe they are superior to another.

As much as social media has managed to ruin our society, it plays a positive role for the public as well. Social media allowed people to use their networks as a form of reaching out to old friends and family across the world. With America being known as the melting pot of the world, our society has several people with family on the other side of the Earth. With social media in effect, this permits people to stay in touch with long lost loved ones and keep ties tight. Not only has it sanctioned friends and family to keep in touches but has granted people to relocate birth parents and unknown family members as well. Yes, social media has failed our society greatly but there is always a rainbow somewhere after a rainy day. Social media can play a positive role by bringing people back together.

Social media can cause a lot of problems in people’s lives. When you are looking for a way to get in touch with your family and friends that’s when it’s good to be on social media. About 75% of people take advantages of social media when they post violent things, bully, or either embarrass someone. They should be bigger and better to think before they do something wrong. People should know when to post positive things and when not to post negative things. It would be better if people just scroll down

After watching this video I was astonished on the way people handle this situation and opened my eyes. Racism is still present in America and it’s a huge problem in today’s society. Unfortunately, racism will never end because some people are full of hatred. The fact that the African Americans who were sleeping inside the car got reported to the police twice, while the non-African-Americans who were vandalizing the vehicle received only one report was extremely inappropriate. I was sick to my stomach watching how the people discriminated towards the African Americans and yet the had the audacity to accept the negative stereotypes. When the non-African Americans were destroying the car, one woman even made a joke about and people didn’t

In the more recent years due to the increased use of the everlasting advancements in technology, such as social media; and biological understandings of how the human brain works, the American media has corrupt many different aspects of the American society such as politics and racial discrimination.

Racism in America influence individual thoughts and actions as well as institutional patterns; this creates unequal treatment that results in discrimination in education, employment and housing. Being that racism is taught, this will indicate how Americans view one another and separate themselves based on beliefs and racial ideologies. This report focusing on the widespread of racism as well as problems racism creates in America. Also concentrating on the timeline of racism and how racism affects the people it is directed towards. How racism is viewed and what is done will be explained to inform the audience of racism in

Martin Luther King believed all people should be equal. Though it may be difficult to realize this today, racism has had an enormous affect on the United States.From the 1800’s up to 2013, Americans have had many stages of biased ideas and or opinions towards other races. The idea of one race having superiority over another race has affected the United States in many ways today, leading the country towards equal rights and equality among all races.

The social issue I chose as my topic is racism. If you ever questioned what it would be like to live in the 1930’s or 1950’s, you don’t have to look far. Right now at this moment America is living through it. The individuals involve are presenting how ugly America really is. Dressed in khakis and polo’s, bearing torches, putting on Nazi memorabilia, and chanting anti-black, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBT, anti-Jewish, anti-Muslim chants, white supremacist racists have descended on Charlottesville, VA., in crowds that may very well be the largest public rally of its kind in generations. With almost no resistance from local police, these public racists have marched all over town giving Nazi salutes while chanting. They have shouted every racial slur imaginable and have done so with the full knowledge that they are being filmed. And this was all before someone used a car like a torpedo to plow into a crowd. We are living in a dangerous, unstable time and I'm sure that Charlottesville isn't an outlier, but an indicator of things to come. Whatever you thought about 2017 in America, if ugliness, racism, and hatred aren't at the center of your thoughts, then you should think again.

Racism and dissemination based on hatred and racial superiority were pressing social problem prior to the emergence of the information age and digital communications. Long before the internet entered our homes racist groups made use of other communication tools including the telephone networks as far back as the 1970s. However the advancement of the digital communication age has added a new dimension to this problem by providing individuals in organizations modern and powerful means to support racism in xenophobia. The Internet is becoming our main means of communication creating a unique set of challenges and communication barriers particularly when it comes to the proliferation of extremist and racist material. The internet functions as a dangerous facilitator for various racist messages, and the proliferation of racist material will continue with the increased usage of the internet.

I am thoroughly disgusted with the reality of my social position, but even more disgusted with the fact that it has taken this long too finally realize and admit to my role, however unintentional, in the perpetuation of racism. How have I lived this long without seeing how my life, my experience, and the opportunities given to me, are all the results of my white skin? How do we say we have come so far, when there is so much left to be done?

Ultimately, interventions cannot be made until bold researchers are willing to capture exactly the what, who, how, of racism in America. The studies presented show that we know too little about what exactly is racism, how it manifests in society, and what is its mechanism on health. All that we know, as we’ve known thirty years ago is that racism is bad and its bad for health. But how is it bad: is it a series of explicit intrapersonal events with prejudiced individuals, or the presence of constant structural violence? How many dimensions are there to racism considering the many theories present like our biologic natural ability to in-group, the conflation of race with class and space, the constant prejudiced social reconstruction of race?

Have you ever looked at someone from a different country, or with a different skin color or eyes than you. And you think to yourself, who is this person, he looks weird, go away, he looks stupid. Whether you think this way intentionally or not, you're being racist. Racism is a real problem in america, and the rest of the world. Racism is as simple as judging someone by their appearances, or their ethnic differences.

Racism has been a very troubling epidemic all around the world, people are judged by skin color, religion, race. But the way we take these issues and discuss them can cause an impact in society.     The way we talk about/express them can influence many others. For example, Martin Luther King he spoke on racism towards African Americans and how they are treated with such little respect because of the color of their skin. The way he expressed himself on the issue caused a huge impact in our society today, he took a stand and fought for equality. Without him we could still live in a corrupt world where people of color are considered second class and caucasians are considered superior.

Social media provides a platform for its users to exchange a flow of personal and worldly information, the extent of contemporary human interactions has been framed. Recently, there are millions of social media users are using the platforms Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to provide the public opinion, discussion and the circulation of race-related issues (Maxwell 2016). The social networking sites like Facebook has become a vehicle for constructing race, racism and racial identities. As Facebook has been considered as a new public sphere and space that people can be interact and deliver their personal views and make sense of the reality around them (Orrù 2015). In this respect, Facebook now has been regard as primary sources
