Recommended: Race and ethnicity in America

The shadow of hate video shows the big, bad, and the ugly reality of what I like to call hidden history. The video was a true representation of what took place within American history, to my surprised the video showed that there wasn’t just one target of ethnicity but targets a variety of groups and people. The hatred that was evident in Shadow of Hate video had a negative impact on Americans and the different cultures that resided in America. Back than the different groups didn’t know to adjust to the diversity of America, thus because everything was based on hate surrounding them. The hatred the video showed us caused suffering, tension, and confusing. Can you imagine that even the political leaders used hatred to gain the respect of one

  • Analysis Of The Cruel Hand By Michelle Alexander

    409 Words  | 1 Pages

    In Chapter 4, The Cruel Hand, Michelle Alexander does a great job analyzing the issues that many inmates go through when they get out of prison. This chapter was a bit more interesting to read compared to the last one. One passage that stood out to me was when Michelle Alexander stated, “Even if the defendant manages to avoid prison time by accepting a “generous” plea deal, he may discover that the punishment that awaits him outside the courthouse doors is far more severe” (Michelle Alexander Pg. 142). Like I mentioned in the beginning, when inmates are done serving their sentence they usually suffer on the outside world. That is because they’re now being labeled as criminals in our society and corporates/businesses have a little leverage on

  • Summary Of What's So Bad About Hate By Andrew Sullivan

    1168 Words  | 3 Pages

    Andrew Sullivan suggests the origins of hate to be evolutionary in his article, “What’s So Bad about Hate?” If hate really is “hard wired,” then that would mean all of the hubbub about obliterating hate is just about as useless as trying to obliterate opposable thumbs. Sullivan’s statement carries so much meaning because it illustrates such a nasty concept with an air of tolerance that is rarely ever considered. He proposes that instead of fighting hate, we accept hate for what it is: an integral part of the human experience. Instead of fighting, we should focus our energy on tolerating hate, and through toleration we can achieve much more than we ever did by trying to combat our very nature.

    Not even the most powerful Germans could keep up with the deaths of so many people, and to this day there is no single wartime document that contains the numbers of all the deaths during the Holocaust. Although people always look at the numbers of people that were directly killed throughout the Holocaust, there were so many more that were affected because of lost family. Assuming that 11 million people died in the Holocaust, and half of those people had a family of 3, 16.5 million people were affected by the Holocaust. Throughout the books and documentaries that we have watched, these key factors of hate and intolerance are overcome. The cause of the Holocaust was hate and intolerance, and many people fighting against it overcame this hate

    806 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of the most prominent themes throughout the book Fahrenheit 451 is the lack of human communication and social relationships.

This idea is that human communication is important and can be even considered necessary, even though our technology continues to advance.

  • An Analysis Of Verna Myers's 'Ted Talk'

    873 Words  | 2 Pages

    Touching upon one specific case of this growing problem, she incorporates “Michael Brown,” who was an “18-year old unarmed black man shot down by a white police officer.” As heartbreaking as it sounds, it has happened on several occasions to men similar to “Michael Brown.” Accordingly, Myers formulates that it “is the same story. It is just different names.” Myers logically lists the other names of several black men who unfortunately fell victim to hate crimes, (Amadou Diallo, Sean Bell, Oscar Grant, Trayvon Martin), as well as flashing their images on the screen. Not only does Verna Myers use imagery in order to show that there is an evident issue with brutality and racism, but she knows it will tug on her viewers heartstrings. Likewise, this makes her audience become wary and sympathetic towards the situation at

  • Racial Slurs In To Kill A Mockingbird Essay

    920 Words  | 2 Pages

    In this world today, hate is becoming increasingly more abundant, especially as it concerns race. Whether it be an unarmed black man shot by a white police officer or the use of racial slurs towards someone, it seems like racism is all around us. In the book To Kill A Mockingbird, it shows a little girl named Scout using racial slurs. Racism is so culturally accepted in the town that it’s okay to use racial slurs such as the N-Word that even Atticus, a lawyer representing a black man falsely accused of rape, uses it a couple of times. Earlier this year, the Ku Klux Klan, a group of white supremacists, held a violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and proved that racism isn’t a thing of the past.

  • Racism in The Color of Fear

    892 Words  | 2 Pages

    There are two main issues in the movie the “The Color of Fear” that I will discuss. These two issues include grouping people of color on the basis of the way one looks, and the attitudes of different races towards one another. Including also the idea that the white “do-gooder” feels that subconsciously racism is being taken care of, when in all reality it isn’t. The eight men in The Color of Fear candidly discussed racism not only as "whites oppressing blacks," but also the less addressed sides of racial trouble in America. A white man earnestly stating that he had never oppressed anyone in his entire life, and a Hispanic man talking about being afraid of driving in front of pickup trucks with gun racks, shows how there needs to be more progress towards ending these feelings in America. Stereotypes were openly declared, from Asians as "the model minority" to blacks as "lazy, violent, and dangerous."

    In the story, "A Tale of Segregation" a young boy named William and his father go out to a spring, a popular place among both blacks and whites. At this time, racism and discrimination against blacks were strong. In the passage William and his father had to wait to get water because he was seen as inferior due to the color of his skin. According to "A Tale of Segregation, they told William's father that he'd had to wait until all the white people were finished. This explains why he had to get his water last and why the whites believed he was below them, because he wasn't white. Also found in the passage, they wouldn't let William and his father leave. The white men explained that he'd be able to do what he wants after all the good white people finished getting their water. This evidence explains that although he was able to get his water, it wasn't the correct solution and they were still treated unfairly. The white men showed no remorse, even in front of a child.

    In 1941, a time where Germany was dominated by the Nazi Party, Jewish people were constantly being oppressed by the use of various tactics in Nazi Germany. However, all of these tactics were eventually phased out in favor of extermination camps, which Nazi Germany deemed as the most efficient method and “the final solution to solve the Jewish problem”. Prior to the infamous extermination camps; general repressive laws, ghettos, along with death squads were all techniques used on the Jewish population in order to rid Nazi Germany of Jewish people. All of these techniques were denounced as “inefficient” by the government of Germany, which led to the eventual disuse of these practices.

    Watching “A Class Divided” was such an impactful experience for me in that it taught me how important it is to make people understand that racism is real and important to understand. I have personally dealt with racism, but I always just thought that there was nothing I could really ever do about it and that I simply had to toughen up and take it. However, this video has allowed me to see that when people who have never experienced racism are put in a situation of discrimination then life can be made equal and understanding of human equality is a
