Racism Vs Racism

Racism is a serious social menace not only in the US, but also the world over, including Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The situation has escalated to a new high, especially in this twenty-first century where technological advancements have necessitated mass and quick sharing of information (Nairn et al. 188). Indeed, social media elements like Facebook, Snap Chat, Twitter, Instagram, and What Sapp has been core in enhancing globalization and its effects, some of which affect and influence racial discrimination both directly and indirectly. As opposed to the views that racism is real and has gained momentum globally, the work of media has on the other hand chosen to report the manifesting cases on the extreme degrees, so that it appears as though the world has come to a halt because of such discriminations. At a critical approach, scholars have noted that media is a channel that creates awareness about racism, and hence could easily escalate the situation if a critical balance on the news and reports aired to the public are not balanced between estimates and practical occurrences (Baker and Rowe 443). While discussing the subject of racism and racial discrimination, it is not only essential to outline how the situation is apparently but also imperative to confirm that race relations are depicted to be really bad in today’s times but the media tries to persuade people to believe an exaggerated side of the situation.

Between 356 and 323 B.C., Alexander the Great conquered the lands of Greece, Persia, and Egypt. Greece was overrun again in 31 B.C. by the Roman Empire. These two events mark a very important time in artistic history, the Hellenistic Era. Traditionally, the Hellenistic Era is said to span from Alexander’s death in 323 B.C. to Greece’s fall to Rome in 31 B.C. (CITATION 131). This time saw the birth of many grand pieces of art and new ideas and practices of how to produce that art.

On January 24, 1848, gold was discovered in Coloma, California. The discovery drove over hundreds of thousands people of all ethnic backgrounds to America’s west coast. Prior to the Gold Rush, California was dominated by Mexican rancheros and Native Americans. President Polk had a vision for Americans to expand westward. Polk believed that America could span coast to coast and saw the Gold Rush as the perfect opportunity to achieve his goal of manifest destiny. Americans were not the only people to flee to the gold fields, Mexicans, Chinese, Irish, Germans, and many other ethnicities also migrated to California. The Gold Rush diversified the population and stimulated the economic and cultural growth

In America, a culture of sustained racism and sexism influences foreign policymakers, which results in colonialism and imperialism, the desecration of nations, and militancy. The authors of the articles, Michael L. Krenn and Laura McEnaney, with differing skill sets, provide evidence of racial and gendered bias in foreign policy. In “The Adaptable Power of Racism,” Krenn expertly examines the history of racism within foreign policy; how racism adapted in the face of religious and scientific challenges, and the overall effects of racist foreign policies.1 McEnaney, in “Gender Analysis and Foreign Relations,” provides a lackluster account of the application of gender analysis to foreign policy, specifically in relation to the policies of the Cold War and Spanish-American War.2 The history of racism and sexism in America provide a blueprint for foreign policymakers, where racist militancy and sexist excuses override basic human rights.

But our country is a melting pot that brings together different cultures and languages, a country that brings together different people of color with different backgrounds and unites them to make one nation. There is no perfect description to what an American should look like because we’re all different. But unfortunately, in today’s society the narrative is different. We have built one where immigrants are now outsiders invading our land and taking our resources, even though not so long ago the U.S. did the exact same thing in a more violent and blatant way. Today, these immigrants and primarily Mexicans have been attacked by the comments President Trump made during his campaign. He called Mexicans, “bad hombres” and “rapist and murderers.” Now that he is President there has been a series of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids that have caused paranoia for all the Hispanic community. The deportation of illegal immigrants has been present since the Bush administration and even the Obama administration, but none have stirred the pot as much as Trump’s. In an article by Vox that spoke about the raids, one ICE official from Las Angeles said that of the 151 arrests they made, “all but 5 would’ve been people we would’ve prioritized for enforcement previously.” Trump has set up a decrease in guidelines of what warrants an individual from being deported. Before, there was a set guidelines where they prioritize

There are not many people in the United States that claim to be racist. When it comes to the question of race, most people believe that they are colorblind. However, it is a fact that race and racism are inescapable parts of the country`s cultural heritage and social history. The issues that surround the definition of race and racism, are the product of a long and controversial history of diverse American society.

Racial relations has taken a huge part of throughout the United States’ history from the Mayflower pilgrims and the Native Americans to now with immigration policies from prospective candidate Donald Trump for the the 2016 election. It is understandable that this statement is true due to the fact that most of this country’s citizens(illegal or not) come from an immigrant descent. Racial differences often get started due to ignorance about the opposing race.Another factor to racial difference is fear, As an immigrant myself, I have a vast amount of experience with race relations in my country of origin and in the United States. A myth about racism states that Caucasians are the only racists race.This statement itself is discriminating

Workplace bullying is type of pervasive practice that an employee experiences from individuals who seeks out supremacy. Bullying can involve verbal, nonverbal, physical abuse and humiliation. This abuse can affect businesses with inefficient way of working that is both costly and preventable (Wiedmar, 2011, p. 35). There are many types of workplace bullying: threats to professional status, personal standing, isolation, overwork and destabilization (Baack, 2012). Some conflict can be face-to-face confrontations in which is the most visible and needs to be handle swiftly. Another form of conflict can involve different types of messaging or social network. I will discuss both the impact on the employee and organizations that’s involved with workplace bullying. I will then discuss a time that I was involved in a situation in which I was a victim of workplace bullying. There are steps that need to be taking when workplace bullying is occurring. At the end leadership and environment must create formula for stopping workplace bullying (Wiedmer, 2011, p. 35).

and just cause they're a different race, dosent mean we should just lace up their mouths and put them In case.

Since 1492 when Columbus arrived in the Americas, there has been a monumental clash between races. Columbus enslaved and mutilated native people, anti semitic Hitler believed that the aryan race was superior to all other races and that Jews needed to be deported or killed. The reason that racism is still around today, especially in America, is because of how it began. It has been passed down through generations and when whites don’t feel like they have everything they want, the other races get blamed. Now in 2017, with Donald Trump as president of the United States, the clash between races continues. Trump's remarks about immigrants, women and his determination to build a wall between the United States and Mexico are similar to Hitler’s views on immigrants. Hitler could be considered one of the definitions of racism and having a 2017 president with similar views to a murderer scares not only many citizens of the U.S. but also makes other countries fearful for the U.S.’s people.

I loved this reading; McIntosh does a great job of analyzing the intersection between privilege and race, how they congruently influence our experiences. By comparing white privilege to male privilege, McIntosh accurately addresses an important issue which directly relates to privilege: by acknowledging that Black people are disadvantaged due to their race, but refusing to acknowledge that White skin is an advantage, White people make no real strides in racial equality. You cannot support equality without being willing to support the idea of lessening your own privilege, if you are the dominant group. Disregarded privilege is a huge aspect of racism and white privilege, whether intentional or not.

Twentieth century political theorist Albert Memmi defines racism as, “the generalized and final assigning of value to real or imaginary difference, to the accusers benefit and at his victims expense, in order to justify the former’s privileges or aggression.” The United States has not only assigned value to the concept of race, but was founded of off white supremacy in regards to it. This is further demonstrated and proven by Connor Cruise O’Brien’s article Thomas Jefferson: Radical and Racist, the Supreme Court decision regarding Plessey V. Ferguson (1896), and Lee Atwater’s 1981 interview on the Southern Strategy. A blatant disregard and misrepresentation of minority’s within the context of the American political system is one founded upon racism and further implemented through racist policy.

"I wish that nigger would come back down from Trenton and give me a reason to put my hands on him, I'm tired of 'em. These niggers are like ISIS; they have no value. They should line them all up and mow 'em down. I'd like to be on the firing squad, I could do it. I used to think about if I could shoot someone or not, I could do it, I'm tired of it."

Racism is a social problem that has occurred many years ago and it has passed through many phases. The oldest and most harmful of all is slavery. The topic of race has over the course of history been derived from beliefs about the biology of group differences. Racism categorizes people, discriminates them and makes an attempt to take their power away. It creates a major controversy with individuality and degrades human kind altogether. However, new world views regarding race reject the validity of any biological basis of race, and now a day it is more common to see race as something that was constructed from the social fabric of societal beliefs and actions. The overall construction of race has to do with the cultural meanings that are widely shared as stereotypes (Mania, E 2017). The meanings of race, vary over time as a result of newly constructed beliefs, ideologies and stereotypes.

Racism when looked up in a dictionary is defined as being prejudice, discriminatiating , or having any sort of antagonism directed against someone or a culture of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. For as long as one can go in history racism has always been an occurring issue in the world. Although when it comes to the hatred and racism towards minority cultures that will be an issue that will continue to occur for centuries to come. For as long as one can think of the history on the racism and acts of hatred toward the culture of Native americans has been on of the most popular ones. Who would forget that's what comes to mind on the holiday widely celebrated that we know as Thanksgiving. The way in which the united states has treated our brothers and sisters of the Native American culture has been a disgrace on what America as being their motto. American is known to be “the land of the free and opportunity.” Although, as time goes on the truth reveals itself and we come to the harsh realization that it is all a lie. Which in reality we aren’t this great nation or aren't any better than other countries. In fact we can actually be on of the worse ones. Injustices in the world have caused a lot of pain and suffering to many Indians in America. How we treated and continue to treat the Native Americans is embarrassment to our world and its history. Removing them from their land and breaking treaties which we signed was just morally incorrect.
