  • Systematic Oppression Of Internalized Racism

    149 Words  | 1 Pages

    Internalized racism is the action of someone participating in the contribution of racist actions towards members of their own ethnic group. Internalized racism goes beyond the internalization of stereotypes imposed by the white majority about People of Color. It is the internalization of the beliefs, values, and worldviews inherent in white supremacy that can potentially result in negative self or racial group perceptions (Kohli, Johnson, & Perez, 2006). Internalized racism is not just another form of racism, but a systematic oppression that has its own structure and impact within society. Internalized racism is considered a systematic oppression because it affects groups, rather than solely individuals.

  • Racial Oppression In America

    909 Words  | 4 Pages

    Relentlessly scrolling along every news channel's ticker, new names seem to be appearing every single week— news of unarmed citizens, shot down by police and demonized by the media to justify their deaths. Within the first five months of 2015 (which consisted of a mere 152 days), law enforcement took the lives of a whopping 464 people (Wing). Of all of the victims, 50% (234) were caucasian and 29% (135) were African American (Wing). This, considering that black people make up a mere 13.2%, while whites make up 77.4% of the United States population, shows massively disproportionate representation (U.S. Census Bureau). There is a very apparent (although often overlooked) prejudice against African American citizens that has seeped into law enforcement

  • Race Class And Gender Oppression

    195 Words  | 1 Pages

    Adhering to all of the conceptual stances does not mean that race, class, and gender oppression are interchangeable. For example, whereas race, class, and gender oppression operate on the social structural level of institutions, gender oppression seems better able to annex the basic power of the erotic and intrude in personal relationships via family dynamics and within individual consciousness. This may be because racial oppression has fostered historically concrete communities among African-Americans and other racial/ethnic groups. These communities have stimulated cultures of resistance. While these communities segregate Blacks from whites, they simultaneously provide counter-institutional buffers that subordinate groups such as African-Americans

  • The Sociological Theories Of Racism

    258 Words  | 2 Pages

    The study of racism has a profound potential to become an ambiguous sociological endeavor. Incidentally, accounting for the multitude of factors which encompass this subject appear to make it the very heart of the matter and consequently the most time consuming. Although, it is my belief that all three of the main sociological theories (Functionalism, Conflict Theory and Symbolic Interactionism) should be integrated in order to achieve a legitimate and quantifiable outcome, for obvious reasons the “Conflict Theory” logically renders the best possible method to obtain a valid micro analysis of specific agents in this case. The oxford dictionary defines racism as being: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior; a belief that all members of each race possesses characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

    From my personal experience, the oppression I had to face was violence during my middle school years. I attended Hodgkins Middle School as a sixth grader; the beginning of this year was definitely a nightmare. There were a small percentage of Asians who attended this school, I would say around 10 percent and majority of the students were Hispanic. I had a total of five classes where I was the only Asian girl and all of my classmates were Hispanic who knew one and another. Every single day, I would hear them mocking the Chinese language or approach me and call me China.
