There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before my friend answered. “I really don’t think he would do that.” He insisted. “Me either” I countered. “but, what if he did?” after a short pause my friend answered as if I had taken all the wind out of his sails. “If Tom did that, he would be as bad as Kaep.” He said the words but, they didn’t ring true. This is coming from a man I have known all my life who I know is no racist. It’s just an unconscious bias that we all have in one way or another. The reaction to Colin Keapernick protest to the national anthem was swift and for the most…

    Back then when Abraham Lincoln protested against racism, he asserted that “Achievement has no color” and just like Lincoln, Grant faced racial discrimination by breaking down the white man’s prejudice. Not like any other colored people in the society, Grant he went off to college and achieved a college education even though he is a black man. Grant Wiggins became a teacher just because that is the only vocation that an educated black man can do in the south. “ I am not [a] great [teacher]. I am not even a teacher” (254).

    Second, President Trump excuses much of the legality of his executive order by saying that it’s a national security; though it is a fear tactic that he has used throughout his presidency, a few Google searches will confirm that there is not a national security risk. After the attacks on September 11, there were many freedoms restricted for a period while the nation worked on increasing national security and diminishing risks. The terrorist attacks instilled fear towards the entire Muslim community and much of the middle east (Kennedy); however, the nations listed on Trump’s immigration ban are not even the same nations that the terrorists behind the September 11 attacks. After the executive order was signed, a news agency from Iran wrote that…

    “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. ... They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” When Donald Trump began his presidential campaign with this racist statement about Mexican immigrants, it was evident that his campaign would be focused on demonizing and stereotyping those who were not white, male and Christian. Despite this, Donald Trump was still elected President, primarily due to the support of white Americans in areas like western Wisconsin, northern Michigan, and western Pennsylvania. Based on his attitude toward racial relations throughout his campaign, it is clear that racial relations will be negatively impacted as a result of his presidency. Particularly, Donald Trump’s support of discriminatory and unconstitutional stop and frisk policies as well as his nomination of Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, who is explicitly racist, as US Attorney General provide evidence that Donald Trump’s presidency will almost certainly have a negative impact on racial relations. However, people can work to mitigate this impact by calling their representatives in Congress and asking to oppose racist policies and nominations and by standing up to instances of racism that they encounter in their own lives…

    On January 7, 2017, Trump signed an executive order banning immigrants from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, all majority-Muslim countries. Not only did the order ban immigrants from those countries, it also worked against people who had green cards and were overseas visiting in those countries. Many were stuck at airports after the order was signed, unable to get back to the country where the families, jobs, and schools were located because of a misguided view of their religion and stereotypes that follow Islam. Trump claimed that the law was not about banning Muslims and was about keeping America safe, even though he called for a Muslim ban throughout his entire campaign. If that were true than the law would have survived in court, but it was struck down in multiple federal courts and deemed unconstitutional due to its discrimination of…

    Due to recent political actions, there are more stereotypes and different types of discrimination in the U.S. President Donald Trump has called an executive order that bans people from Iran, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, Syria, and Yemen traveling to the United States. This travel ban has been placed because it is said that most terrorists have come from there. Since these countries in the Middle East are mostly made up of Muslims, a stereotype that has influenced the mind of others is that all Muslims are terrorists. However, this overall idea is not true. Document E is the United States’s former president, Barack Obama, saying his opinion about illegal immigrants. “To begin with, our borders have been porous for decades. Obviously, the problem is greater along our Southern border, but it’s not restricted to that part of the country... We need to provide farms a legal way to hire the workers they rely on, and a path for those workers to earn legal status. And should stop punishing young people for the actions of their parents by denying them the chance to stay here and earn an education and contribute their talents to build the country where they’ve grown up.” Obama’s opinion on the topic of illegal immigrants is that the U.S. help them and their children become legal so the United States can help them and they can help us. President Trump’s opinion suggests that all illegal…

    At the turn of the twentieth century North Carolina’s government fell under the control of the Democrats’ White Supremacy rule. The Jim Crow laws, enacted by North Carolina’s legislature in 1899, formally required segregation in all public facilities and transportation. Disenfranchisement, an attempt to restrict African Americans’ rights to vote, allowed Democrats to apply a poll tax and a literacy test. This combination successfully restricted an enormous portion of African-American voters and poor white Republican supporters from casting a vote. Control over the voting procedures allowed Democrats to easily dominate the polls up until 1970. During this period, citizens fought vigorously to secure the civil rights of which they deemed themselves deserving. North Carolinians sought “Civil Rights” in a plethora of areas including voting rights, academic freedom, labor unions, race, and gender.…

    Throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, southerners struggled with the inevitable confrontation of segregation. Living in the Jim Crow era, blacks grappled to gain the rights denied to them through Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), “which gave legal sanction to “separate but equal”.” On the other hand, white southerners wrestled to maintain the white supremacy that the Plessy case allowed them to exercise. One of the largest areas of tension for the maintenance of segregation existed in education. After Plessy, many blacks and civil rights activists fought to achieve truly equal but separate education for all blacks. Blacks were usually granted schools in poverous areas with minimal resources, as opposed to whites who were granted clean and prosperous…

    I have always wanted to stop racism. I hate race in general. I find race to be nothing but a human made thing. I believe that everyone is a human and that we should not be dehumanized because of what race society categorizes us to be. Almost everyday on the news, you hear of some case where a person has been bullied or mistreated so bad that they commit suicide. Most of the time they are bullied simply because they are unique. Racism is an act where a person or group of people are discriminated against because of a particular characteristic, or set of characteristics, they have whether its from race, skin color, or religion. Some ways to eliminate racism are to stand up for your beliefs while respecting the beliefs of others, not taking part in hurtful acts, and also if you see a form of racism not…
