What Is Blogging Changes Attitudes About Racism?

Is it racism or economics which hinders many African American communities from progressing economically in the 21st Century? This research proposal will address this question by examining the social and psychological impact caused by racism and the economic impact it’s had on the African American community. This proposal will further investigate whether the emotional scars of slavery continue to hamper African American progress or if racism is actually the cause.

I then described my life and who I was. After describing this, I explained my experiences in confronting racism. The point of the essay was to state that racism is still alive and can be present anywhere. After writing this essay, I learned that my mechanics and style was not where it should be. Even with the revisions Mr. Heldenfels made in the draft, I still made mistakes with mechanics and tense shits. I had written comma splice and has several spelling mistakes. I looked to improve my mechanics after writing this essay.

Starting off with this essay or just in general I have always struggled with my opening thesis statements and making it more appealing to reader. When going through with this essay we all had to make it a process with our revisions and multiple drafts to make the final draft the best that we had after everything. I would say my biggest challenge through writing this was trying to analyze the different perspectives that Kiswana and Mrs. Browne had with viewing the black community. While revising this essay I kept struggling with correctly citing the sources of everything so I wouldn’t get portrayed as plagiarizing in my

This is the essay that I wrote for Geography. I noticed that I've only been blogging about what I've done, am doing, and plan on doing when I looked at some of my friend's blogs. I haven't really put up anything that I have written. I typed this up on Utah Write and got a perfect score of 30 on my first try. I was surprised with myself.

Race in America has always been extremely controversial. From people of color struggling to being counted as citizens, to the Black Lives Matter movement today. My initial stance on Race in America was that race generally does play a factor in today’s society. My original score was a 3.8. The majority of my answers I put “Disagree” or “Neither Agree or Disagree”. This meant that I was unsure or there were contributing factors to my answer. As I read the articles and listened to my fellow classmates my position on Race in America changed.

I really liked how you backed up the things you said with examples. For example, you talked about how African Americans fought for equal rights through protests, sit ins, and peaceful acts of defiance which led many whites to realize their needed to be a

When I first seen the essay I thought to myself that this person just want it to complete three pages fast, but I have read you side note. However, your ideas are good there are few grammar mistake in your essay that I have found. I agree with you when you said, “An African American male in his 20’s might have a harder time going through airport security than a 20 year old white female, and so on”. This is true even for different culture: Latino, Arabic, etc. there so many discrimination going one.

The introduction to your essay catches the attention of your audience. However, as I continued to read the essay it did not give me a clear understanding, as a reader, which angle you were taking. For instance, you were discussing the fact that homeless people are still human beings and should be treated as others, but then you begin to speak about police brutality. I believe this is an excellent topic; however, there needs to be more clarity, use of evidence from the documents that were cited, be specific and clear in word choice, and the transition should flow easy from one paragraph to the next.

1) I really liked how the idea that the black community want to have a good relationship with the police. They do not want the law enforcement system to disappear, but they deserve equal treatment between those of color and white individuals. Crime is a serious issue in black communities, and the groups living in these areas want to be protected and served. The profiling targeting blacks needs to end and it is a topic that needs to be discussed.

Throughout the paper we will be exploring if has racism come to an end or just evolved as time went along. Im Going to explain the values of an African American lives throughout history till modern days. Explain the physiological abuse African American went through from back far as the middle passage. People never pay attention to the mind abuse and try to put themselves into the same circumstances. Can you imagine being in a boat in pitch black? Do you have any idea what that would do to a human being? As human beings certain events can trigger a nervous breakdown and cause you to lose sanity. Certain Events that African Americans had to go through

With the popularization and expansion of the internet in recent years, America and other Western countries have found themselves developing into media-dominated cultures. Social media platforms, forums, and other types of online interaction are becoming primary forms of communication between people with similar or differing views, bringing political topics into daily discussion. However, the implications of such a broad and unrestrained network lead to negative outcomes. Whether it be in the form of a direct slur used on Twitter or a slight jab in a discussion board, the ongoing presence of racism on the internet cannot be denied. Although some forms may appear more indirectly, the effects are not diminished; implicit forms of racism are just as impactful as direct attacks. This paper argues that the internet serves as a carrier of racism by allowing racism to thrive through forms of racial microaggressions and cloaked websites. Toward the end of the essay, possible solutions for this issue will be discussed as well.

Throughout this course we have learned about many things, one in particular would be Racism. We have learned about many different types of racism along with examples of racism. Before I go into specific examples of racism that I have learn about in this class, I will first define and explain the differences between racism, prejudice or also known as bias, discrimination, race, and racist so there 's a clear understanding of why I picked the specific examples. The definition of racism that we learned in class would be an “Institutionalized system with disproportionate unjust outcomes for a particular race”. Prejudice or also known as bias was defined as “A negative feeling, opinion, or attitude toward a certain category or people” this would be an feeling with no action acted upon, where discrimination is defined as “Action or inaction toward a category of people” which would be acting on the negative feelings or opinions of a certain group. The definition for race is a “Social construct, but a lived reality” while a racist is “Discrimination based on the category of race”. (Disadvantage privilege notes, 2016)

I really like your in depth analysis of the simple line "I identify as black." Although this line is very straightforward, by describing on why she identified as black due to her experience you backed up the idea that this relates to the creation of ethnic identity. Although a little more description was needed about the relation about how this line compares to the exnomination of whiteness, it was very insightful for you to pick up on the underlying meaning towards this idea. The line "I identify as black" popped up in multiple articles in the Dolezal case as well as the description of how she chose a black crayon over a tan one when she was drawing herself as a child. I think that this line goes hand and hand with "I identify as black" because

There are certain stereotypes associated with asians for example the assumption that, “ all asians are good at math.” The first time I heard this phrase uttered it came from the mouth of a friend. I wanted to tell her how wrong and ill conceived this prejudice statement was but, refrained. Instead I opted to show her the error in her thinking. Ignorance is the root of discrimination and the only way to combat against it is to be well informed and educated. Although it took time to change her mindset in doing so, I prevented the spread of

Racism is an ongoing force that negatively impacts the lives of Americans every day. The racist mindset in America stems from the times of slavery, where blacks were thought to be inferior to whites. Throughout history, the ideology of race and racism has evolved and developed several different meanings. Today, we can still see the devastating effects of racism on people of color, as well as whites. “Racism, like other forms of oppression, is not only a personal ideology based on racial prejudice, but a system involving cultural messages and institutional policies and practices as well as beliefs and actions of individual” (Tatum, pg. 9). As a result of this system, it leaves the
