Does Black Life Matter More Than Any Other Race
Black & White

Does black life matter more than any other race? No, I believe that all life matters regardless if you’re black, white, Hispanic, yellow or green. The black society today has really out done them by using the black card. This is what the government of today is showing our next generation that only one type matters.

Your life should matter whether black or white. I don’t understand what makes the majority of black people think that their lives matter more than anyone else’s. All you hear today is “Oh, I don’t get hired because I’m black!” No, you aren’t hired because you have no education and you use improper language. During my 30 plus years I’ve seen so much separation between any races for that matter. Being from New York, I never seen anyone act or use the racist card. We grew up as one and acknowledge all the same regardless of their skin tone or

I for one do not agree with the White House and how they have chosen to run this country. I blame them for how they have separated humanity and have caused chaos between the blacks and white. Also the fact that we have been lead to disaster while he approves of such behavior and hatred among the American people. The fact that our government has played us against each other is unreal. He should be bringing us together, teaching the next generation how to love one another and help each other through the toughest times to come. Unite us as one nation as the American pledge says “ I pledge the allegiance to the flag of the united states of America and for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible with liberty and justice for all”, not separate nations. Not only is the government putting us against one another but also the fact that he has tried to take God out of the picture, but in all honesty, there is no taking our God out of anything because as a true believer, God is

    In “Why Black Lives Matter Resonates” Leonard Pitts states his belief that Martin Luther King Jr. would be happy with the “Black Lives Matter” campaign because it is beneficial for African-Americans. Pitts writes about the counter campaign, “All Lives Matter,” as being a disgrace to the civil rights movement, and concurring that Martin Luther King Jr. wouldn’t be a part of it. I cannot agree with Leonard Pitts’ conclusion that King would be completely for “Black Lives Matter” and not completely for “All Lives Matter” because I believe if King were here today he would be advocating for equality of all people.…

    Trayvon Martin Article

    Dr. Brown’s article “Requiem for Trayvon Martin: When Will America Stop Destroying the Lives of Black Boys” moved me as I was thoroughly reading it. I felt a sense of anger and disbelief running through my mind without realizing till I finished. The anger came from the verdict of Trayvon Martin’s case against George Zimmerman. And the disbelief came from the fact that white people tried to justify George Zimmerman’s actions by stating that historically black men are violent creatures so you can never be “too careful”. The main argument of the article is that blacks are arrested, prosecuted, and sentenced more harshly than whites, for similar criminal offenses. It still amazes me how the skin color you are born with can ultimately define your life, lifestyle, or whether you deserve to die or not.…

    This affects society multiple ways. One is that there is still prejudice thinking in our country. Because of this, many black people experience fear that is perpetuated by their mistrust. How often do we see a wealthy, White person who has the financial means buy their way out of trouble? Quite often, that same charge for a impoverished young Black man would mean a life behind bars. In some ways, we have improved, but we have a long way to go.…

    Everyone deserves to be treated equally. Like poet and author, Maya Angelou once said, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” which means, if you said something mean to someone they may not remember exactly what you said, but they will remember that you hurt their feelings. People may forget what you done to them but they will never forget how you made them feel, and I think that is an important thing that everyone needs to learn. Racism is everywhere, people need to understand their words and actions can affect other…

    I believe it should matter to an extent. Not only is race an identity that we can grasp and claim as our own it can help mold us into becoming whoever we are today. Per “What is Race and why does it matter so much?” by Dr. Benjamin Johnson “Race is a biological, social, and descriptive concept”. With that in mind as our definition, it is to say that each race should look a certain way and have certain traditions, things that “this” race must do. Maybe because of news, friends, or stories they heard about the race.…

    The Scottsboro case contributed to this situation in a very large way. Before the case blacks were automatically judged because the color of their skin. The two women who were allegedly raped on the train were white. All eight of the men accused were black men under the age of twenty. Considering these things it is obvious to see that many people treated the Scottsboro boys differently, because of their skin color. Recently, news articles have been released telling stories of a white police officer who threw a disobedient black girl on the ground. Many are making the argument, that because the police officer is white and the girl is black, he only harmed her because of her color. Others saying that if , instead, she was white, then none of this would have happened. Also, along with this story the argument could be made the same with the Scottsboro case. Maybe if the men and the women would have been the same color, then the case wouldn't have been such a big deal.…

    The issue of whether black people are equal to white people is a problem in this day and age. We may feel as though we treat them the same, but in reality most people do not. We need to educate others on this topic before we make some major mistakes. Our arguments are one sided and we never give blacks the benefit of the doubt. If all men are created equal, then we should treat them accordingly. Our town needs to stand up for these people and not let what happened here happen again.…

    First, in the group “Black lives matter” they do a lot of helping in the black community. They strengthen and empower the people of color. But they do more than help, they get justice where and when needed. They also protect the black women, men, and children. Black lives matter started out as a hashtag on social media soon grew into a large community no longer just a small hashtag. It went from being something that no one talked about too being talked about on the biggest news channels, the biggest blogs, and where it started out from social media.The black lives matter group is a positive and good thing because it shows that police brutality exist still today against black people, raises awareness of black children being shot for no giving…

    I think race matter in America and that we are far from post-racial society. Think of different scenario happening around the country where people from different race are discriminated because of their race. Without going far, why would we have to fill out our race on job application here at ASU on student employment website? If we are in post racial society that wouldn’t be the case because my race has nothing to do with my qualification to the job I am looking for. I do agree that race is social construct and doesn’t have genetic basis, but in America race has become a major difference between people. In my country there are different race (white, Asians …..), but I never considered myself as different or one race to be a problem till I came…

    Race is a very sensitive topic for most as it can be offensive and controversial. In the very recent news, there have been numerous violent cases where it appears that individuals were targeted because of their race. I am against those who believe that since President Obama is black, it makes it easier for other African Americans to reach their highest potential. Looking back on the article, it noted that the government failed to rescue, rebuild and redeem because the majority race within the area was African American. This lack of rescue and slow rebuilding will delay most people from achieving the American dream. It also goes against the principles of the American dream that all men are created equal and should be…

    Why does being black affect the way doctors see you and treat you as a patient The Tuskegee Report is a perfect example, yes the patients were informed with some things but not everything. African Americans were informed that they will get free healthcare, free meals,and free burial insurance. The patients were told that the experiment would only last for six months but it lasted for 40 years instead. The Tuskegee Report goes back to my question which is how far has the treatment African Americans has improved from today than to how they got treated back in the 20’s when Henrietta Lacks was born. In the book it describes how a hospital was built for African Americans who couldn’t afford to go to the general hospital or for those who wouldn’t…
