    I’m not sure how it works now a days but when I was a kid we did not have racism prevention campaigns in school. Maybe I am asking for too much or it is just common sense to be nice to everyone but it all starts with our youth. It is very hard to change an adult’s ideas and beliefs but a young child is still developing what is right and wrong. A child’s young brain is easier to feed knowledge into making for the perfect way to educate our youth of this topic.

    The importance of culture and community can often be overlooked, but especially in a modern world where there has been massive globalization and a melting pot self-identity can feel missing. Diversity in cultures not only makes life interesting and should be celebrated rather than used as a means of separation. In terms of how my work in the future may be affected, I feel as though I have added a valuable experience to my life. I think I can make decisions based less on myself and more on others. Everyone comes from a different background and differences need to be respected.

  • Discrimination In Los Angeles During The 1960's

    136 Words  | 1 Pages

    Many black and Latino residents in Los Angeles faced significant discrimination by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) during the 1950’s and 60’s. They received heavy criticism from members of the black community on the accounts of police brutality and unnecessary violence. Blacks did not feel safe in the vicinity of the police force, usually used to detain them, rather than protect them from violence. A quote from Malcolm X explains the situation well: "You’ve got some Gestapo tactics being practiced by the police department in this country against 20 million black people, second class citizens, day in and day out – not only down South but up North.

  • Stereotypes: Race Relations In The United States

    Being a fast food worker for the past year and a half, I have been exposed to numerous different types of people, and most of them are not the same race as me. When I first started to get to know them, even though at times there was difficulty communicating, we were able to make it work and build stronger relationships. One of my favorite managers was Rose, a Hispanic woman who had been so kind to me. She was an example of someone who was able to teach me things about herself I could have stereotyped and not taken the time to learn anything about her as an individual. Growing up in Joliet, Illinois has always given me the opportunity to experience race relations on a regular basis, just due to the diversity of the city that I live in.

    I am interested in doing a project on racial tensions in Tallahassee because in the last year racial tensions have been escalating.

    Following the recent election of Donald, reports of hate crimes have steadily increased. Whether it’s in the form of vandalism, threatening fliers, physical or verbal abuse, 4-6 hate crimes happen every week.

  • Ignorance: The Importance Of Being Black In America

    1240 Words  | 5 Pages

    Ignorance is encountered in many forms from inside and outside of black race. I've found that the best way to overcome it is not with indignant outrage, but with careful and sincere redirection. On a basic human level, nobody wants to be told that they are wrong; however, if you are skilled at addressing the thought, rather than the person, you are capable of creating a lasting impression and teaching moment that will last generations. One of my best friends is white (cliché of the decade) and we have a plethora of conversations on race relations. Now, I've found that he's much more sensitive to bouts of racial insensitivity than I am, and he's ALOT more inclined to confront people about it!

    The focus of this article was skin color, perception of racism, and depression among adolescents in urban Brazil. The prevalence of major depression was 10.4 percent higher among those who reported racial discrimination. This was an empirical article that determines the relation between race, ethnicity, and health. In this article there was one discussion that racism is a risk factor for depression because of the stress from unfavorable life conditions or social exclusion prevailing among most ethnic minorities while the other assumes that racism is a psychological pathogen by itself (Nazroo, 2003). Racial discrimination is strongly related to poverty and socioeconomic status needs to be taken into account when this hypothesis is examined.
