Racial Discrimination

Have you ever been joked at by people? For the color of your skin, for your ethnicity or belief? That is just one of many forms of racial discrimination. Racial discrimination has existed for a long time, and even though there have been efforts to stop racial discrimination, it occurs on an everyday basis. People with racial differences are set apart from the crowd and are harassed beyond belief. This results in divisions that have separated the world and has created many conflicts. So, if it’s so wrong, why is it still tolerated?

Racial bias is a attitude or stereotype that influence a racial attitude when hiring someone for a job. Modern racism and racial bias in he workplace would relate to discrimination in the hiring process. I’m interested in this topic because this is a very global topic and, this is very unfair treatment and I feel that if you have the credentials no matter what race you are you should be able to get the job that you desire.

Minorities have been subject to racial discrimination for decades. In the United States, racial prejudice in the criminal justice system has had a profound effect on the lives of African-Americans and Hispanics. From policing to trial to sentencing, racism against minorities occurs throughout the entire process in the criminal justice system. This research paper will outline some of the aspects and evidence of racial discrimination in the criminal justice system.

Since slavery, there has been a continuous trend of disparities among blacks and other races. These disparities prevent a significant amount of people from having a successful futures as many obstacles work against them. More specifically, there are racial disparities among races when it relates to discipline. According to statistics, 43% of blacks are punished with lifetime suspension compared to 1% of whites. These disciplining strategies increase the risk of more black students following the path to jail. The racial disparity within disciplination of students is a problem because many kids are going to prison as a result of issues that could easily be solved within the school system. Instead of seeking to look at the context of the problem, black students are being given to the system. As a result, deep rooted problems are being ignored and behavioral problems are perpetuated. The best solution for the problem is implementing intervention specialists because it will allow the students to have an advocate that seeks to understand their individual needs; they will have a role model to look up to. These specialists will also work alongside the teacher, bridging the misunderstanding between the two parties.

Do Americans feel like there is still racial discrimination in today's everyday life? Racial discrimination is treating someone differently because of the color of his or her skin. Racial discrimination has been around for a long time. There are laws that are supposed to protect non whites from being racially discriminated against but these laws are not applied to everyone equally. There are a lot of different types of discrimination such as gender and age but the main type is racial. Racial discrimination still exist in America based on discrimination at work, police brutality, and arrest rates.

There are many problems that America faces today; however, one of the most prominent is racial discrimination. Racial discrimination is one of the leading causes of riots and protests that occur in America. There are also many different opinions as to what is racial discrimination and what is not. Many people believe that the murder of someone of a particular race is linked to discrimination while others would disagree. It is important to find a resolution to this issue because it is a growing problem in America that leads to riots and the death of many people. Furthermore, this issue will only continue to get worse unless more people become more accepting of others with different racial backgrounds and ethnicities.

For nearly three centuries, the U.S has directly and indirectly encouraged racial violence, has had an intolerance with races, and inserted itself into conflicts that caused more racial tension. Strain between the races has been present in the U.S since its inception, the very founding of which was built on the backs of slaves who even after its abolishment received little compensation for their hundreds of years of forced labor. Today, while divided has lessened, the hidden institution of racism continues to thrive. Racial Violence has been enacted in the U.S and abroad by centuries of unjust legislation that promotes a racial divide by targeting particular ethnic communities and not including a clear limit of laws into legislation to

Throughout history, human beings have been eager to explore new worlds, conquer diverse lands and invent unbelievably amazing things. However, despite this inner thirst to discover new things, there is still resistance to accept those who appear different amongst us. Racial Prejudice is an insidious moral and social disease affecting populations all over the world. It can be diagnosed by its various symptoms and manifestations which include fear, intolerance, separation, segregation, discrimination and hatred. While all of these symptoms of racial prejudice may be evident, the single underlying cause of Racial Prejudice is ignorance. While all humans belong to the same species, races are distinguished from one another by such

Political, economic, environmental, and social issues are only a few of the many kinds of issues that occur around the world. One issue that every human being is bound to experience in their life is a social issue. There is an ongoing list of social issues that people need to be aware of such as the access to education, human trafficking, immigration, gender inequality, and child care. Although each one of those issues is just as important as the other, one of the biggest issues that individuals encounter in their daily lives, especially in the United States, is racial discrimination.

In recent years, or should we say that since slavery took place, the United States has been infused with a great quantity of inequality, especially in the direction of minority groups. There have been numerous racial discrimination events that have been introduced in recent years. For instance, a great deal of police shootings, especially in opposition to minority groups; specifically African-Americans. Moreover, according to Mapping Police Violence, “Unarmed black people were killed by police at five times the rate of unarmed whites in 2015.” Additionally, not only has Trump, before presidency, made remarks towards minority groups, but has also given the immunity to his followers to aggravate and become racist against minorities. Therefore, it is acceptable to say that multiple people around the world have argued that our current president has tried dividing the country between his own race, and those of minority groups, rather than coming together as a whole. As a result, there have been multiple individuals with the sufficient amount of power that have started protesting this injustice in the United States.

“We are not a racist”, “We are all equal” are two racially dismissive phrases among many that are used, giving the false perception of our society being equal and righteous, yet as a society, we continue to profile one’s orientation, immigration status, and criminality based on the color of one’s skin. Although, many may argue it is not because of their race but rather their socioeconomic status, our system itself is not racist, that there is no hierarchy based on race, that all races are created equal and that all countries specifically the US believes in what we know as Human Rights. It is important to know that most countries socioeconomic status is tied to race, the limitations brought by the silent majority and the obliviousness of its fellow countrymen. Thus, allowing for many countries to remain racially biased, creating a hierarchy dependent on one’s pigmentation and ancestry.

Jail sentence statistics are an exceptional way to clarify the level of current racial discrimination in the U.S., an AA male born in 2001 has a 32% chance being sent to jail in his life compared to a Hispanic non-white having a chance of 6% (Do Something, 2015). Subsequently, discrimination is still exceedingly rampant in our modern day American society and takes on countless forms throughout our culture (Kessler, Mickelson, & Williams, 1999). Therefore, these acts of discrimination impact the family from at the core level, the microsystem. Moreover, the transference of adult’s experiences of discrimination and negative stressors significantly impacts the parent to parent and child to parent relationships within a household (Rice & Lashawn, 2008). The effects of one incident of racial discrimination is wide reaching and intimately influences home environment. Being a rampant societal problem in our world is the widespread presence as well as tolerance of racial discrimination and its detrimental effect on the family unit (Carter & Forsyth, 2010). Studies have presented findings that there is a higher probability that a U.S. policer may frisk someone from the African American or LatinX communities than a Caucasian person (Do Something, 2015). The following will provide a review and critique of the literature on racial discrimination and its impact on family wellness with a primary focus on child well-being.

In the first place what is discrimination is different type of categories within people like race, age, gender, and religion. In article by Mother Jones “talk about a player name Michael Sam” but Sam wanted to let people know about his life and not tell no one about his sexual orientation wanted. So Michael Sam announced that he was gay to his college football team members they all know that he was gay and did not have any issue about it. Many football players say that he was a true all American defensive end he played evert one else. The sports like every other guys do. There are some state laws that discriminate against gay employees and some of the NFL teams are sort within the state or local law prohibiting.

Did you know that when famous people such as Colin Kaepernick decide to protest something it affects millions of people? Standing with your hand over your heart while the National Anthem is being played is showing respect, but some people decide to kneel for the national anthem to protest racial inequalities. Although singing the National Anthem before a National Football League (NFL) game has been a long-standing tradition, many players are choosing to protest racial inequalities which makes some people happy to see a change, some people very upset to see our country disrespected, and also makes famous people speak up and say their opinion.

I watched in shock as the man was taken down with a chokehold by the officer, and then four other officers joined in the attempt to restrain the man. The man repeatedly said, “I can’t breathe” while being held face down in a chokehold and restrained by five officers until losing consciousness. Racial bias has been a big source of controversy in our society today because of the many cases of police brutality that have been recorded and seen by the public. The police brutality case I was describing in the beginning is Eric Garner’s case who was held in a chokehold and restrained by five other officers that rendered him unconscious and led to his death because police suspected him of selling single cigarettes without tax stamps. There are also articles that have expressed their opinion on the topic of racial bias in our law enforcement today because of the many recorded cases similar to Eric Garner’s. One such article that brings my attention is the American Civil Liberties Union article “Racial Justice”, where they talk about topics such as racial profiling and bias in the criminal justice system. In the article they express their opinion on an example of racial bias known as racial profiling which has been used by the law enforcement and is one of the main reasons why law enforcement target people of color. They also express how racial profiling has been the cause for detentions, interrogations, and searches without evidence of criminal activities based on race, ethnicity,
