Race
I chose this theme not only because of personal reasons but also because I think the United States has suffered a great deal because of some of its habitants inability to accept something that humans have no control over. Its almost every month we see on the news hate crimes, or people of authority bashing other races on tv spreading the ignorance. Race although it shouldn't plays a great deal in our society, because we still live in a society that still constantly judges physical appearance, and stereotypes people because of their race.

This article talks about how race plays a bigger part in todays society than it did when America still had segregated bathrooms and schools. It express that racism is still a very large issue, and the hatred of a race is the motive for a lot of hate crimes that have occurred in Americas long history. The authors point of view stresses that although we have updated and modernized many things from Americas pass the decline of racism is not declining what so ever. Truthfully I completely agree with this article, how is it that America is full of so many different races and many of us still haven't learned to accept them for their beauty and uniqueness. It continues to stun me that we are constantly hearing about hate crimes that have occurred towards almost every race still in the year of 2016.
Hi! I completely agree with your stance on the issue of race in our country. I followed your news article and it's quite true, racism is still as prevalent as it was a couple decades ago, though has evolved a different form. Your comments are very thought provoking - why is that when we have so many different cultures and people of various backgrounds living here, we still have not been able to embrace and accept our differences? What do you think it will take to end racism in America? I'm looking forward to your next blogpost!
ReplyDeletewould you say racism in historical times has influence the racism in modern day?
ReplyDeletewould you say that race is huge cause of the modern day and how it affected different type of races.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100%. We really still see a lot of these racist cases in modern America which is such a shame that a country as civilized and developed as our beloved united states still has race issues. Moreover, the article you chose perfectly suits the point you're making. I highly encourage that we, as citizens, do something in this regard because its enough;we're in the 21st century for pete's sake!
