Recommended: Racial profiling in society today

If you're wondering who keeps voting for Trump; you should go out in public and try speaking a foreign language, or just have an accent (I could only imagine what black people have to go through) and see for yourself how more than half the people around you completely change. We are so used to it that we don't even care anymore but honestly racism is still amongst us, specially the older folks...... I had some guests who didn't trust me with their credit card and tried to get checked out by a random server just because she was white and I wasn't. They even told my manager I should get fired. And I also get a lot of people who don't tip me just because of where I'm from. We're supposed to let it go and not challenge the negative stereotypes

  • Examples Of Structural Racism

    711 Words  | 2 Pages

    We have a long history of racism in America that has been structured to favor White people. Structural racism can be defined as, “a system in which public policies, institutional practices, cultural representations, and other norms work in various, often reinforcing ways to perpetuate racial group inequity. It identifies the dimensions of our history and culture that have allowed privileges associated with “whiteness” and disadvantages associated with “color” to endure and adapt over time”(Structural Racism, 2004,p. 11). Overt racism became illegal during The Civil Rights Movement that took place between 1954-1968 (Tuck, 2015). Although society seemed to be heading toward a more socially acceptable society, the movement enabled white people to blame the struggles black face as a character flaw. White people will believe that black people have a lot of problems because their culture is bad or they have bad values. The message they are reinforcing is that being black is inferior, and this is an example of structural racism operates. Structural racism is a system of forces that keeps people of color in a permanent second-class status, and it is the foundation of racism in our society. Society is structured in a way where the hierarchy of white people oppresses Blacks, Latinos, Native Americans, etc and has

    For Example According to Dinesh D’Souza whites refuse to hire African Americans and work with them. Today we see a lot that occur and continues that way. As Dr. Ellis mentioned in class the Europeans wanted to colonize the rest of the world which includes America. Which can explain why whites have a fear of African Americans advancing. In the American society almost everything/anything is based on racism. Race influences a lot decisions made in the U.S. “Minorities are underrepresented in our elite universities, and therefore opportunities to serve in top policymaking or policy-analytic positions (and opportunities to serve in positions that enable one to acquire the knowledge, experience, and contacts to qualify for top positions) rarely go to minorities.(Ron Mincy, Is racism

    Despite all these accepted images of successful black people "selling" the idea that the color of a person's skin is irrelevant, racism still exists and will forever exist in America. It is a never-ending phenomenon that is ingrained in American life. Racism is America, just as America is built around the idea of racism. As the civil rights activist and scholar Derrick Bell would say, "Racism is an integral, permanent, and indestructible component of this society." He proclaims that no matter what blacks do to better their status, they are doomed to fail as long as the majority of whites do not see t...

  • Racism In 'Just Walk On By'

    700 Words  | 2 Pages

    Society has changed and people need to realize that. When I see acts of racism, whether it is on tv or in person, it upsets me. No African American should walk around feeling scared or judged. I do not want my friends to feel that way. I love my friends even though they have a different skin color than me because they love me too. We are all made equal. People need to realize that and stop being so racist and judge mental. Yes, I will admit that some African Americans will do things out of line that causes them to be judges and possibly shot, but people should not assume every African American will be like that. In a way I believe black people know they are seen and judged as a bad person so they become one. I hate that society makes them feel like that. Racism needs to stop all together before things get even

    In America, race is a particularly sensitive subject, especially for people of color. As a black person, I have felt as if I had been treated differently because of my race and consequently, have had to alter my behavior. I have been followed inside of stores and have tried to make myself seem less threatening by smiling more and keeping my hands visible. In the future, I know that a white person is more likely to get a job than I am. I would have to be twice as qualified to be seriously considered against a white person.

  • "Silence due to Fear"

    1572 Words  | 4 Pages

    The reason people of color are silent when it comes to racism is due to the fact that they are being kept in a state of fear by white people. This is a situation that most people of color and lower class people have to go through on normal bases. Since my family immigrated to this country from Mexico we have been in situations that have kept us silent due to fear of deportation. I have seen many immigrant families that have been taken advantage of because of their fear of being sent back to their home country, including my own family. My grandfather and uncles have been exploited in their work, for years. They used to work in the Sonoma County vineyards, and would have to work around three in the morning till round dusk. They would only get paid for the amount of grapes they picked, not the amount of work they did. At the time they were undocumented, and were scared of what would happen if they complained or quit their job. Because many immigrants do not speak English or feel that they do not speak English fluently, they do not speak out when they see or experience racism or discrimination around them. They remain silent, because they feel if they do speak out something might happen to their safety. We feel that white people or their bosses will call the police to deport us, for speaking out, and then immigration will come after us. The fear of being separated from our families is the biggest fear immigrants have. This fear comes from immigrants bad experiences, that instills fear in the undocumented Latin American community. After our community has fear, this fear then manifest itself into silence.

    As Americans people really need to think what does Racism actually mean? Racism is the belief that human beings can be divided into human races and that some members of some races are inferior to members of other races. People who believe in racism are racist.(“Human Races”). People often hear someone say a slur that may have a little bit to do with racism but not really at the same time and they go bananas. Next thing people know there’s a court date and the member of the other race is a millionaire because he sued for a slur like my feet are black from all this work or my feet are red from all this heat. A lot of people for some reason love to just find a reason to be unhappy. For most its picking a fight with someone for a stupid reason.

  • Donald Trump 's Impact On America

    1696 Words  | 4 Pages

    Donald Trump has been nearly immune to criticism. The only time Trump ever suffered significantly in the polls was when Hillary ultimately secured the requisite number of delegates to push Bernie Sanders out, to become the presumptive Democratic nominee. With former Sanders supporters beginning to coalesce around Hillary, she managed to get a bump in the polls following a stinging speech attacking Trump. To make matters worse, Trump flapped his mouth, attacking the judge presiding over the Trump University case. Trump proceeded to make what were perceived as racist comments regarding the judge because his parents were of Mexican descent.

  • The Pros And Cons Of President Trump

    1522 Words  | 4 Pages

    January 8, 2016, marked the day of the United States of America’s official election. Prior to that day, thousands of people lined up in the cold weather to cast their votes with the hope that their voices and opinions would be heard. All year many people including myself joked about the possibilities of Donald John Trump actually becoming president because of his arrogance, harsh statements, lack of political knowledge, and lack of political experience. Unfortunately for the many people that held the popular vote and opinion, Trump was elected President of the United States of America on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, and was officially sworn in as President on January 20, 2017. Though a majority of Americans voted against Trump, due to this country’s Electoral College system he was able to win the election, and an instance like this has only occurred four times in our countries history.

    Being of a different race, different culture has always created challenges while living in America. I remember hearing about the incidents of racism my parents and grandparents experienced in this country throughout the majority of my childhood as well as witnessing and undergoing such events firsthand. An incident that has deeply scarred me dates back to when I was only ten years old. I remember walking along the sandy shore of Silver Beach with my dad, when a drunk white man approached us out of the blue screaming racial slurs and other discriminatory insults. I stood still as phrases like “You don’t belong here”, “This is America”, “F*** you, Bin Laden”, “Go back to your country, motherf*****!” stabbed me in the chest. My heart sank

  • Racial And Racial Inequality

    The economy is the main reason for racism. Just by getting on social media or looking at the news, you see those degrading African Americans. Obama was a pretty good president but everything he did or his family did, the economy made it seem like he was the worst president ever or that he was not doing his job. In the economy it is harder for African Americans to find jobs than it is for whites. Blacks look for jobs longer and a sometimes more aggressively than whites do and they are 44% less likely to get hired for the job even when they are just as qualified. Today they have a law that jobs cannot discriminate on who to hire just because of their race or ethnicity, and even though that’s a law some jobs still discriminate, they just use a different reason to why they could not hire you. Other races have heard so many stereotypes and stories about African Americans and they also grew up being taught certain beliefs which become part of the

  • Political Correctness In America Today

    I feel words like chinks, red skins, dykes and towel heads are not only politically incorrect but racist. But with all the attempts to be politically correct or being aware of human feelings, racism still exists. I use to be one of those who thought racism was the thing of the past in today’s America or it wasn’t that bad. Maybe my head was just buried in the sand a little too long and I didn’t want to know. I now open my eyes know to what is around me. For instance, my husband and I were out to dinner with work friends at a new restaurant that had opened. One friend showed up a little late. When he walks in I noticed people glaring and scowling at him, our fashionable late friend is a man of color. I hadn’t noticed when we walked in that the restaurant was primarily white. This realization at the restaurant seem to bother me more than our friend. I’m understanding that the racial division was always there but now see the line is just a little
