3. Race as a Social Construct (documentary + pp. 173-174)
Human being belongs to a single biological species (homo sapiens) within a larger grouping of genus.
Biologically speaking, the human species resembles other floral and faunal species because of population clusters with varying gene frequencies across spatial dimensions.
Talk about human diversity is often couched in term of race
There has been no dearth of initiatives to a classify people into racial categories on the basis of fixed and arbitrary characteristics such as skin color, attribute certain physical, social, psychological, and moral properties to these categories, and evaluate and rank these categories in ascending and descending order of inferiority and superiority.
- There is no line around countries
- Human beings created those lines
- There is only one race, and it is called the human race
- We all look the same, under our skin colors
- We humans are the one who decide we are different because of our skin color

We have hated people for different reasons. And our minds change all the time. Who we hate is not always going to be the same.

Nothing is natural about how the world works
No child is born with a bad behavior to kill someone. He or she learns it from ones race or community.

Good example to talk about in the “Africentric Schools” that are opening up around the country, and the one in Toronto mostly.

    The Article the end from the beginning re (de)finding Aboriginality written by Michael Dodson explores the notions on how Aboriginal people have been represented and perceived by the early settlers. Michael Dodson makes a critique on the language from previous historians. They Mention in the beginning that the Aboriginal people were seen as Noble savages from the prehistoric beasts, blood thirsty, cunning ferocious” that they even fell in the classification of blood types which gives an idea of an animal like classification, scientific based and based purely on Age and descent. ( Dodson, 2003: 19-20). Michael Dodson Argues the question as to how can the colonisers understand all the aspects of the indigenous people if they haven’t actually experienced it first hand? He also stresses on the importance of the Aboriginal voice and how it’s actually excluded in the society that they need to speak back.…

    According to Michael P. Jeffries (http://genius.com/Michael-p-jeffries-paint-the-white-house-black-excerpt-annotated) ‘’Race” is rooted into a false beliefs with regards to the validity of observed physical differences as indicators of human capacity or behaviors. In order words, it is observed that human beings build categories and make their own naturally distinctions. He argued that, there is no biological classifications in racial categories and no relationship either, because it’s only based on observing of physical characteristics and behavior. However, humans do not have subspecies or races the way some animals do or any form of genetic traits, such as skin color, which is inherited separately from other physical and mental traits, hair features, blood type, eyes and so on. Therefore, with this said, one can say that race is socially constructed, which means that it is an ideal that is produced by human thoughts with an interaction rather than something that exist as material fact of life on earth.…

    Dubois

    Race is one of the most controversial concepts in today’s society. At present, there is no clear definition or explanation of race. To this day, it is unclear as to whether or not it is possible to characterize and classify racial groups. The concept of race is always defined in terms of the physical and/or biological factors such as skin color. The initial classification by skin color continues to be a problem in classifying race. Humans need a shared knowledge regarding the empirical and socially appropriate identification of persons into groups in order to have a “just” social structure. W.E.B Dubois offers such an explanation that could help categorize race based on the spiritual or human constructed characteristics. “Race, then would be understood as a cluster concept which draws together under a single word references of biological, cultural, and geological factors thought characteristics of a population” (Outlaw, 20). The previous statement states that race cannot be defined purely with the biological/physical factors; the spiritual factor, which includes culture, history, must be taken into account. In fact, Dubois reasons that physical factors of race are intermingled with the spiritual factors because the definition of race can never be simply given.…

    Racial Profiling

    Racial grouping and categories can be effective and not effective. In the article “Racial Formation in the United States” by Michael Omi and Howard Winant they discuss their views of racial groups in the U.S and their effectiveness on people. In the article “How Jews Became White Folks and What That Says about Race in America” by Karen Brodkin she discusses how in the past time Jews were considered something other than white, but now they are considered as very much white. Brodkin’s article supports Omi and Winant by addressing the same issues in a more detailed and specific way, they both talk about these racial categories and how it affects certain individuals within racially diverse societies, they talk about education and how the government controls what race you are and how the government is deeply involved.…

    Racial Inequality

    • 1128 Words
    • 5 Pages

    In fact, race do not exist in the scientific world. In a sociology documentary (citation), it was said that one person could be defined as having more than one race or ethnicity. Also, race is not a biological factor. For instance, an African-American woman could be more similar to a Caucasian man compared to an African-American man base on genetic variation. Furthermore, Judith Butler supports the argument when she writes, “Even Kate Millett cited the case in making the argument that biology is not destiny” (746). In other words, Butler believes that race is not a biological factor. Likewise, racial boundaries actually do not exist. Human beings belong to one big group and that is the human species. Although this may be true, society define who we are and what differences we have, including that different is bad in modern society. With this conclusion, people in majority groups discriminate people in minority groups. However, if racial boundaries was said that it did not exist, there will be no discrimination as there will be no comparison. There will not be a superior race or a pure race, it will be simply be a human being. As a result, showing clearly that racial differences are created by society and not biologically.…
