The Tri Part Theory Of Racism

There exists in our community a monster, a monster as old as mankind itself. This monster is known by many names; some call it racism, others discrimination but the only thing certain about this monstrosity is that it can be overcome if we all unite to fight against it. Racism is “a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race” (Merriam Webster). Racism has multiple causes ranging from living in a secluded community, to the basic instincts of mankind which likes exemplify the differences found in others not like themselves. Racism can destroy the foundations on which a community is laid upon and can intrude upon the peace and sanction of many of its members. By informing members of the community on the reasons why racism continues to persist, encouraging acceptance and providing further education on how to relieve racial tensions, we can resolve the issue of racism once and for all.

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.

The most important theme in this book was the trials and tribulations of racism because it was woven in every part of the plot, it contributed to the conflict and resolutions, and gave the story a connection to current events, helping the reader’s comprehension.

Why do people now a days discriminate people by colors, eyes, or basically the physical appearance? Generally people say that Asians are smart, blacks are dirty, whites are rich and powerful (soundvisioncom,2015) . Racism is the belief that one race of people are greater than another because of the race they are born into. In other words Racists people judge other people or discriminate them by their race. Nelson Mandela once said (Smhcomau, 2015) “Racism is a human conscience. The idea that any people can be more powerful than another, to the point where those who consider themselves as powerful and treat the rest as sub-human or low ranked people"

The anecdotal instances of racism in Rankin’s Citizen together demonstrates the existence of a structural form of racism. The anecdotes demonstrates that if a person is of colour they suffer different treatment which distinguish them to be an ‘other’ type of person. The idea behind these racist encounters can be further categorized into three categories: overt racism, covert racism, and institutional racism, and these ideas together form the basis behind structural racism.

In the two essays, “Just Walk on By: A Black Man Ponders His Power to Alter Public Space” by Brent Staples and “I’m Not Racist But…” by Neil Bissoondath, there are both differences and similarities. The two authors differ in their opinion on the causes of racism and life experiences involving racism, but are similar in regards to the use of stereotypes in the world

Racism is the trend of thought, or way of thinking, which attaches great importance to the notion of the existence of separate human races and superiority of races that are usually associated with inherited physical characteristics or cultural events. Racism is not a scientific theory, but a set of preconceived opinions they value the biological differences between humans, attributing superiority to some according to racial roots. Even in such ethnically diverse country as the United States, racism continues evident against people of different ethnic traits and skin color. According to Steinberg (Steinberg, 1995), racial discrimination has been the most important cause of inequality between whites and blacks in the U.S. Because of that, minorities in American society have been fighting over years for equal rights and respect, starting with the civil rights movement in 1960s. Also, public policies implemented since 1964 in the United States have been instrumental in reducing economic inequality between blacks and whites, such as the affirmative action, a federal program that tries to include minority groups by providing jobs and educational opportunities (Taylor, 1994). From this perspective, does racism still play a dominant role in American values and American society? If so, what are the consequences of this racism that still remain in American society? What is the impact of the Barack Obama presidency on the unending fight against racism in this country?

The United States of America has a deep and rich history. Unfortunately, this history has been tainted by racism and intolerance. For a long time in this country, minorities have been viewed as less than other Americans. Like the book, Mississippi Trial, 1955 shows, racism affects many areas of people life. Their have been many attempts to change this way of thinking. Many different civil rights movements have taken place to get equal rights for everyone. However, the United States still suffers from a race problem. What cause racism? In the article, Breaking Down Prejudices: Racism in America: Past and Present, the author Kristian Lazaridi, states the reasons for racism. She states that “According to Aronson (1998) there are four basic reasons

Since the discovery of the America; slavery, separate but equal; segregated pools, buses, trains and water fountains; workplace and housing discriminations; as well as other biases and hostilities have served as the painful reality of the United States’ racial health, especially for African Americans, more so those living in Southern States; Let not forget about the beatings, bombings and assassinations.

Throughout history, racism has been an entity embedded in the United States society, and can still be seen in many forms today. In regard to racism being uprooted in the future, it does not seem plausible due to the fact that little progress has been made to reform the societal structures that marginalize people based on their race. Although racism is permanently embedded within the United States, working towards social justice is a necessity because it reassures communities facing marginalization that there is a possibility that the presence of racism will be less visible in society.

With an ever growing and diversifying population, race is a term that people have become more accustomed to. Many would say that as a society, American citizens have taken steps to subdue and reduce racism. Others may say that the government itself has adopted institutional policies to prevent racism. If such were to be true, considering that those actions to fight racism have existed for at least a century, why is one not able to see that those efforts to fight racism may be ineffective? Society for the past decades has built a manner in which we assume that racism is wrong. Despite those efforts, hundreds of issues concerning race continue occurring. Rather than taking perspective that racism is wrong, society should have a more active focus on the population by providing education on how to respond correctly to issues that can concern

Theories of race and racism have been used by sociologists to not only describe modern societies but also address issues of social injustice and achieve an end to racial oppression. Critical race theory is one of the most widely used for this purpose and provides the structure employed by Dwanna Robertson in her analysis of racism against Native Americans and the consequences they have experienced as a result. She uses the term legitimized racism to discuss the racialization of American Indians. By classifying Indians as evil and less than human, whites felt justified in using cruelty against them in order to appropriate their land and resources during the settlement of the Americas. As a result of this, the part Native Americans play is both pivotal and foundational in the economic and internal socio-racial reality of the United States. Their social and economic inequality is often blamed on a culture of alcoholism, individual laziness, and rural living while the fact that they are subject to racial oppression is ignored.

Throughout our society, we can see and experience racism in our everyday life. Racism continues to be a problem that we can't seem to control. As seen on the news and the internet, whites and African Americans are harming each other to prove who's the more dominant race. The thing they don't realize is that they are starting internal war between races. Racism has always been around our world today and it may never end. In the book “A Raisin in the Sun”, a African American character and his family experience similar types of racism that we experience today. When considering the critical race perspective, Walter (a young man) is one of the main characters experiencing racism that is brought into greater relief throughout the book.

Racism is an attitude or belief that favors one racial group over the other one. This is done on purpose or accidental. There are three types of racism discuss in this chapter. First, the ideological racism is a biological discrimination to another race believing that someone race is superior than all other. For example, the Nazi party believed and graded humans as Aryan to non Aryan. The Nazys were on top of this piramid and the Jews were at the bottom, which the Nazis considered them inhuman and unworthy of life. Secondly, the symbolic racism is the resistance to a social policy that makes possible the opportunity to have equality between races. This is more subtle and indirect form of racism. For example, this belief influence the personal

Racism and the effects of racism can be seen anywhere. In the hallways of the high school, the streets, housing, neighborhoods, cities, and more, one thing is seen, and that 's segregation, which is ultimately caused by racism. Walking in the hallways at school, chances are that you’ll see a group of whites, a group of Hispanics, and a group of African Americans, but rarely do you see these three groups interacting with each other. Racism has been made a part of people’s everyday lives, a border posed by racism: segregation. Racism and its effects can not only be seen around us but can also be traced throughout countless readings in HWOC this year. Almost every literary work focuses on the topic or underscores at its effects, and today, you can walk into any library or bookstore and find something, whether it be a news article or chapter book, regarding racial conflict. This alone is evidence of how racism has integrated our society and continues to inform and manipulate our minds. The literature we have been exposed to this past year is a reflection of society, similar to a reflection in a mirror showing us the piece of hair sticking up in the back, literature is showing us the problem so it can be addressed.
