By recognizing that this is a definite race issue that happens nearly everyday in America, our society then has to address the issue through the court system and within ourselves and our communities. Facing these flaws that we’ve created in our society is an intimidating and immense task and by addressing them we will forever change our own nature. When I found these flaws within myself, that I contributed to the prejudice and discrimination black people face, I became impassioned with the Black Lives Matter movement, but I also became more and more disheartened with the future. I realized that although my generation is more willing to change with the times, we are too young to change the system. These mixed emotions regarding what you’ve done, what you aim to achieve, and hope for the future, is what makes addressing this issue of race so hard to

Racial discrimination has affected the lives of many people who consist of different races. This shouldn’t represent how our life has to be based on the color of our skin. Although racial discrimination was a major problem in our past, people should learn about these mistakes and why they’re wrong. People need to realize that we can’t change the past, but we can make the future a better outcome.

Every child gets “The REAL Talk,” but every talk is different. For most African Americans the the talk includes how the world is not a fair place if a person is different, if African Americans want to get somewhere, they have to work twice as hard, and In the US last year, 223 African Americans were killed by police due to police brutality. One third of those people were unarmed, and should not have been seen as a threat, but they were still killed. 12 of these people were under the age of 18. African Americans should not have to be scared to go outside any day thinking they might not make it home.

Reid, 36 was shot seven times when pulled over for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign, resulting in his death. Verdict for the two police officers: No indictment.

Louis County police and Pierre Wilson with the case under discussion, it makes the scenario quite easier to understand. These two gentlemen got into an argument where officer charged Pierre with an extendable baton that broke three of Pierre’s fingers and was refused any medical attention for quite some time. This case was too an unjustified use of force by the officer since they were in an argument and no physical threat was apparent from the discussion. The stresses and frustrations in the life of a police officer are understandable but they never justify charging civilians with defense guards provided to the officers. In the end, officer Gore was suspended without pay.

The media is one of the hugest influences on stereotyping now in our society so if the media showed more positive and a more true impressions of the different people like religions, race, and sex people wouldn 't have a certain perception of others. One of the biggest things that might take a bit longer would be for people to start educating not just themselves, but others in our society, which would make a huge impact on this whole issue. Doing these things alone could help solve our issue in society of

Something that has been prevalent in our society for the past few decades is the image of racism; whether it be through social media, films or magazines. Unfortunately, the images we have witnessed regarding racism are very negative. These images often show the group who is being the victim of this behavior too often be at fault; almost saying that because they are a certain color or from a certain culture that they are set up for failure based on their actions. This is the case in the movie “The Help”, where viewers watch black women become domestic workers for white women in the southern states during the civil rights movements. With the help of theorist Stuart Hall and Michael Omi and Howard Winant, this essay will intend to show that Hollywood

Minorities have made significant strides toward autonomy and equality in America society. Movies, television shows and the news are all part of the negative representation of minorities. Also, there is a lack of minority on television and most of the time. The minority character that does exist tends to be secondary to a white protagonist often the best friend or “the bad guy.” The media can also serve to affirm social and cultural diversity and, moreover, provide crucial space in and through which imposed identities or the interests of others can be resisted, challenged and change.

People experience racism on a wide scale of intent and severity, from outright violence or hate speech to micro-aggressions. However, the true paradox of the modern age in regards to racism stems from those individuals who believe in racial equality, yet still hold onto prejudices and practice micro-aggressions.
