Sarah Bartmaan Video Analysis
The Sarah Bartmaan video today had some very shocking mistreatment of African Americans. I don’t understand how Europeans could justify their actions of treating another human being like that. Also to know that people still went to see her pickled remains for almost a century after her death showed that it was more than one person that contributed to this. People thought that African Americans were a different species and weren’t even human. We can also see this in our society today. I grew up outside the Bronx, and my school was mainly comprised of African American and Hispanic people. My cousins that lived just outside the city in the suburbs, went schools were the population was 90% white. It is almost like our races still keep us separate

    Forbidden Knowledge Video Analysis

    When building many of the castles in the 1300-1400’s the main purpose was to keep the enemies out and of course for conquest. In the video I watched, the Forbidden Knowledge video, they called out some very key point of why and how these fortresses and castles where erected and defended. Not only where there kings of the lands, but then each of those lands were divided up to noble kin and lords. They were always trying to better there futures with more land, even if that included killing your own cousin to get his piece of land. One great example of an intuitive fortress, Caesar had made a donut shaped fortress at one point around a small town; he shut out and was starving the people in the town and then also keeping out the men that were…

    Analysis Of Ta-Nehisi Coates Between The World And Me

    In modern times the thought that black people should continue to be judged by their looks and seen as less of a human being is very real. Black people are seen as a threat by simply existing and are being controlled by the rules and laws that were set into place after slavery “ended.” In order to preserve white privilege and power, black and brown people have been denied the ability, more times than not, to succeed and bring…

Some people still think that they should have it were people are living with a different race.

    Reaction to "Race, The Power of Illusion"

    Watching these events unfold visually compelled me in way I never quite had been before from an emotional standpoint- the social implications of these events are so much graver and severe than I had even thought previously. As the documentary noted in the third act, racism is so deeply rooted in American soil that one born here or moving here after the most blatant forms of racism have vanished (segregation) finds themselves unwittingly fitting into racialized society. Without viewing films like these and having the kinds of discussions we do in class about institutionalized racism, it is rather easy to accept it as normal having grown up from a place of privilege.…

    Opinionated essay on Racism in America in the early 1900's to today.

    This all started with slavery and the Africans being sent away from their homelands to break their backs working on our farms. We spit on them, treated them like shit, and expected them to work hard for us and like it. Many of the white people do feel sorry and are guilty for what we did to the African American ancestors, but there's nothing we can do to take it back. It is history and we cannot change it. There is still racism towards African Americans. Whenever you hear a murder, robbery, assault, or drug bust on the news, they say it was an African American. There are just as many white people that commit those same crimes, but they aren't on the news nearly as much.…

    The Whiteness Project Analysis

    For this assignment I chose to reflect on the interview from “The Whiteness Project” by a 17 year-old girl named Leilani whose interview is titled “Stop talking about racism, just stop.” I chose to write about what she said because it really does reflect almost exactly what I feel about the topic of racism and “Whiteness” and everything related to the topic. In her interview, Leilani talks about how she feels that if people would just stop talking about race and making it such a big issue, then it would become less of a big issue and essentially less problems would arise from it. Although I am aware that race issues are real and that in the past they have had some very serious consequences, I have to admit that I agree that we, as a culture in the U.S., may have swung to the other side of the scale to…

    Free Argumentative Essays-Has America Overcome?

    America is in denial. “I don’t see color” and “It’s not about race” are the first phrases heard when a racial issue presents itself and although they sound like harmless, well-meaning words they continue to suppress the black voice in America. When 18 year old Mike Brown was shot and killed in Ferguson, MI earlier last year the masses came together to mourn for the loss of child. However, for every outpouring of sympathy, there was a racist comment to match it. Everyone across the nation had something to say about this small town boy’s death.…

    Racism In Human Zoos

    Throughout the history of mankind racism has been embedded in our culture in numerous forms. One sad form of racism which has been a focal point for historians was that of 'Human Zoos'. These 'zoos' first began in the early nineteenth century all the way to the twentieth and consisted of colonizers believing that they were superior to others. These were highly controversial exhibitions featuring mainly the indigenous who were being put on display for people to go and look at, however the lines between what is human and what is animal soon became blurred. It could be said that they were highly successful and popular due to the fact that many of these western audiences found it to be something different and interesting, but, it does not take away the fact that these human beings who were being locked up in cages were being humiliated for having different skin colour, and these so called abnormal features. It also has to be pointed out that many westerners were 'manipulated into a belief in the inequality of races'1 not necessarily brought up with them.…

    Reliance

    Throughout my life and being a product of the public school system I have learned a lot about race, and how we should all be accepting of other peoples race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, culture, and their identity. A model citizen should not do anything to harm another person both mentally and physically. Recently, statistics and other studies show that African Americans commit many crimes now a days. They find them selves in the midst of some of the biggest felonies such as murder, prostitution, extortion, burglaries, home-invasions, etc. African Americans used to be the victims of all the attacks during the early 1900’s but now they are ususally the criminals who leave other victims in fear.…

    Personal Narrative: My Adopted Siblings

    The things that have happened over the years have showed the good and bad sides of racism. It has been a pattern throughout all generations. The Native Americans, the hispanics, and the Blacks, are all examples of people in history who were thought of as “inhumane” just because of their color. Most of these peoples were severely mistreated and beaten down. It is important for me to learn from this history, and to not fall into the crowd of accusing for race or thinking lower of someone because of their color.…

    Black Like Me

    Although there has been moderate progress and many attempts to further unify races over the past decades, there is still a considerable division. It appears that Blacks will be acknowledged as being less important and treated with little respect in our western society. "He who is less than just is less than man" (55). As we have learned from the history of racism in the Deep South, people treat other races poorly not because of a person’s social and moral traits but because of the colour of their skin. This notion is evident in the book, where people refer to it as a “Lack of Unity” (32), showing that there is a clear division between white and black people in all aspects of life.…

    Ethno Cultural Paper

    I can remember riding in the car on my home from school as a little girl and listening to the lyrics of the song titled Black Butterfly by Deniece Williams and wondering to myself “ Is she talking about me?!” Much of my ethno-cultural heritage is tied up in the fact that I was born in the south as a l black girl and am part of a family that had an active pioneer in the civil rights movement in our mist. I have been raised to always believe that I was just as smart as, just as pretty as, and just as capable as any white child I might be in class with and it was my duty to the world to show that fact.…

    America Without African Americans

    No matter seeing all the usefulness and benefits of having African Americans around. Till this day African Americans are still being treated as if they are second class citizen and it is disgusting. Caucasian’s with higher power mistreated African Americans due to their ignorant ways. In 1890 was when the Color line era began. The Color line was the segregation of races in the South. White people in control and black people being treated as lesser human being. It was when white democrats, the southern state and the local government. With them in charge they that overturned the political and social gains that black had made in progression after the Civil War. Black people did nothing but sit there and accept their fate in the South. With them losing their rights to vote and becoming second class human being as if other people are better just because of their skin color. White people were the ones sin charged, holding the guns, and had all the power. They had the law behind on their side. In the text The Color Line in the Era of Segregation it states “A variety of ingenious…

    Essay On African American Mistreatment

    The mistreatment of African American’s did not just start now. It started back when slavery first started. African American’s were not the only most targeted race but one believes they are the most to appear on the news. They are targeted on the regular which is sad but that is how the world is now. Most people do not put themselves in this situation because they are targeted just because. But one says that no matter what a police officer tells you to do whether you think it is the most ridiculous or stupidest thing ever, do it. The other people say the police officers break the citizens’ rights therefore they do not have to follow the officer’s rules but others say if you want to live, you have to fake it until you make it or until you get out of the situation. The African American cases that the news has shed heavy light on like Sandra Bland, Trayvon…

    Stranger in the Village

    African American racial tension has decreased drastically, since the fifties our country has leaps and bounds towards equality. James Baldwin wrote Stranger in the Village, and he wrote about his experience living in a small Swiss village and how he was able to evaluate the American society and its issues of race. Baldwin specifically focused on African American racial issues. Baldwin makes arguments about how race is treated much different in Europe, he also argued how there are still a lot of problems with American society that need to be changed. I agree with Baldwin's thoughts however this essay is outdated and isn't completely relevant to our society today; however some of the broader ideas are.…
