Later on, everyone was at play practice. Tasha wasn’t feeling good so she sat out. Becca’s best friend Hannah stepped in her place. When Tasha went to go move the overhead light, it came crashing down over Hannah. It killed her.

White-skinned people ruled. Color-skinned people worked. In the novel, The Kindred by Octavia E. Butler, Dana continually switched between time-periods to save her ancestor, Rufus Weylin, as without him, she will not be alive in her present. In Rufus’ time period, she noticed how numerous characters in the 1800’s experienced the troubles of being a slave including herself. Firstly, the patrollers thought it was enjoyable to bother the slaves for their entertainment from time to time. Furthermore, Margaret, Rufus’ mother, had emotionally abused Dana for several reasons. Finally, Rufus, himself, tried to commit the illegal crime of rape. Butler has focused greatly upon acts of physical, emotional, psychological and sexual violence, which were commonly seen in the 1800’s due to abundant racism/slavery.

“That’s why they were only taking a few things at a time; they weren 't really coming for ivory and paintings. They wanted me!” Even when she wasn’t in her room she was always afraid of something. “I always dreaded that my parents would divorce. It was my third biggest fear, right next to the fear that one of them would get abducted by heartmen on the road to Sugar Beach, or my first fear, that I would get sucked into the lagoon by neegee.” Out of all three fears only one seemed to happen. Her parents relationship finally came to an end after a lot of fighting, disagreement, and cheating. “Daddy, I hold your foot, don’t leave us. Daddy, please, I beg you” she cried that day. From then on, except the servants and cook, “it was only women at Sugar Beach.” Even after dealing with something so hard in her life that wasn’t even what affected her the most.
We are always told that we, people in America, are completely free, from speech to freedom of choices. A common known fact by all sociologists is that that way of thinking is completely false. The reason for this is the way we act, from the way we do our hair to the way we treat others, is hugely influenced by our society. To be more specific, the urge to fit in is fueled by the leadership, and crowds we consider “cool” in our society.
In class, we defined race as a social grouping of a diverse set of people into categories, usually by skin color (or other physical or visible markers) stereotypes, shared experience of oppression and or privilege. We also defined racism as a system of advantage and or disadvantage based on race and supported by individual, institutional and cultural structures that create and sustain benefits for a dominant group that influences decisions, institutions and cultural norms around race. In learning about the true definition of race and racism, and through the discussions had in class, I learned that racism is a system of forces that effectively keep people of color in a permanent second class citizenship status. It is systemic in that it can

Once he got the money, he took off and jumped into a white van.

This picture is a native American tying a white guy up to a tree, and cutting his hair off. I think this picture stereotyped native Americans because the were not used to the modern world. They tied anyone that did belong to belong to society. They weren't fulmar with the products that modern people like a hair grower. I think we do because some people do not know better in terms of culture. We also maybe inflicted on what other people about someone's culture. Since that's what we hear we take to heart and maybe not research someone's culture. I think we can make people look inferior by bullying them. The Native American man tied the white men up, and cut his hair off. That was a form of bullying and people can break emotional if they are

On a daily bases people make excuses for everything. Everything meaning our actions and the things that we say. Common things that we make excuse for deal with sexist, racist, and heterosexist comments. Sexist is classified as saying that one sex is better than the other. An example of this is someone calling a male or female something that they are not. I do not like this because we are all humans and deserve to be respected and not called something that is degrading. We all know that racist is downgrading one race compared to another. An example of this is, saying that all black people are loud and ghetto. We all act the same but some people do certain things different from others. That’s just there way of living. I do not think that just because one person acts one way the whole race does also. Heterosexist is defined as heterosexuality is better than all other expressions. An example of this would be talking about how a guy dresses and calling him gay. I do not agree with this as well because it is good to stand out and be your own person not matter how others see you.
