should we talk as if Race Matters? Unwittingly or quite knowingly people have built systems of inequalities around race but people have also built identity‚ friendships‚ and college mates around it. Nevertheless‚ several people I recently interviewed never appeared to be certain when race was a good thing or when it was a bad thing to talk about‚ which in my mind leaves us all struggling with a particularly intimidating question: When should we talk as if race matters?

Race in America At the turn of the last century‚ WEB Dubois wrote‚ “The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line‚ --the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa‚ in America and the islands of the sea.

Humanity has been enduring an ongoing battle for centuries: the strained relations among the races. Despite efforts to put the past behind‚ signs remain at nearly every juncture that there still exists a strong sense of racial dissension. While many Caucasians do not see the problem being as severe as it is represented‚ African-Americans angrily reply that the lighter skinned race has not had to endure such prejudice and‚ therefore‚ cannot begin to identify with the situation.

Introduction What exactly is race? Is there a true definition to the word? Does it even exist? There is so much uncertainty behind the development of the term over time. It is often thought that race is a social construct brought forth by humans to justify things like the discrimination of others and has also been named the cause behind many other issues. It is easy to blame tragedies such as the Holocaust‚ a mass extermination of people who follow the Jewish religion‚ on the basis of racism

Rocco Mango POP 1600 Soc. Geog. Of Race I have been alive for 19 years and was exposed to race at a very young age. I don’t remember much about being a toddler but have seen pictures and videos of neighbors and friends that my family spent time with. The family that lived next door to us was black and their son was the same age‚ so we played together often. I was in the 5th grade when my dad started a football league with a close friend that was also black and they coached us for two years.

Race and Ethnicity ENG125 September 23‚ 2013 Race and Ethnicity The two literary works that I have chosen were “Country Lovers” and “What It’s like to be a Black Girl”‚ to me they share the same theme of Race and Ethnicity. Country Lovers was a really good short story that described lovers of the country. What it’s like to be a Black Girl was a short poem that talked about the background of race and the dilemma of ethnicity. To me the poem and the short story both talked about race and

friends and family are a different race. That doesn’t mean I treat them differently‚ if you give me a chance I’ll give you the same opportunity. The shootings of young black men by cops are a perfect example‚ just because I’m a young white male does not mean that I agree with what they did‚ in certain cases the cop did what he or she had to. According to an article from the Washington Post‚ as of July 9th 2016 whites make up 54% of the 440 cop shootings where the race was known. Blacks made up 28% and
