Racism


Racism? What’s that? Ever heard of it? Well now you are going to hear about it. Today you are going to be learning a lot about it. It is where someone hates another group or color of people in the world. For instance these days and back many years it has been black African American’s. People don’t have a reason to hate them they just stereo type them all, there are many jokes and people that just stereo type all of the African American’s in the world. There are a lot of people that aren’t very nice about it and just hate them with a passion just because of their relatives. Such as the ones that ran plantations way back in the day. Like back in the day they had the KKK and they would burn and hang black people and there are also people that just don’t like them still and they would be Italians such as in the movie we had watched a Bronx tale. 

In the movie there were black kids that had constantly road by on the bus that “C” dad had drove,  but C didn’t mind the black people so he got along with them as long as they didn’t get mad at him. But I believe you share the values of the people you are around most of the time. For instance he didn’t mind them and neither did sonny and his mob, and he spent most his time with them. But his friends hated the blacks and they were just around each other and thought that all Italians hated the blacks. But there were a lot that just didn’t care either way.  It was sonny that got C to like and be able to be around African americans, and then he ended up dating one and turned out to become really happy.

Like I said that people are still racist, but there not as bad as they once was. The govt. helps people such as minorities and gives them government jobs so then they know they will always have work. They also will help and work and just do what they are told to go do. Some people want to have all white communities like on article number two the person said “ that it is an older city and they the suburbs are mostly white and east asia.” But I think its like that because they might not want to many African Americans to come move in there, unless they are getting hired by the government.

I think in the first article they had come up with the best thing to say, they had said that there are still a lot of names that start with black such as the “black sheep, black market, black mark, and the black way”, they are still not the nicest thing to say, but that’s how they have been for years since they have been in the civil war and when they were all stuck working on the plantations for free and if they tried to run or anything the were killed and/or whipped by the owner of the plantation.

In todays world the racisim isn’t just toward black people and Hispanic people. It is now starting to go toward the Caucasians. There are some racist words or sentences such as the white flight is one thing that I had read in the second article. They are trying to tell me in this article that white racism is wrong and against the law. Well I think all racism should be against the law. It said that black racism is more like a self-esteem booster. Well I think that they are all wrong. This just shows that our culture is still not liking the blacks and that they are just minorities and cant do anything right and all they know how to do is steal things. There are a lot of jokes and references towards black people. I have had some experience with people like that. They are my two brothers they are the more rasist people you will meet and talk to.

There are lots of people in the world that are racist and think that every little thing that has to do with a native American, Black person, and Hispanic person. They always believe that they are racist and have to change for the public. Such as the brittion hecla braves should change there masckot just because it’s a native thing. So they get angry and fight till they get what they want. Some people believe they are right everytime so they will make everyone think there right to so then they can get and do what they want in the world. Well to be honest I think that people are who they are and that if something is already done and if you have to literally fight to change it they you probably shouldn’t be trying to change it because it just means you are just fighting against a bunch of spoiled people.

In conclusion I have said and told you about a lot of different things in the world about racism and how it really hasn’t changed much if any at all that that everyone still has a lot of bad things to say that should just be kept to there selves, but there are also some few good things they have said, but not many. Now I think after reading some of these articles I do have a lot of things that I have said that aren’t the nicest things, but I respect minorities when I see them in public and I don’t say anything bad to them. I think many people should learn how to grow up and live in the days now and get rid of all these terrible racial slurs. There are many thing that our country could do and learn to do to get rid of everything. So there are many things tht I have learned and that I can still learn.

  1. I was looking for the 3 quotes you were supposed to highlight and include. Also a better summary of each of the articles that proves to me you read them.
