Post Colonialism Theory To understand the post colonialism theory‚ I believe that we must first take a brief look at how we got here. In order to reach the post era‚ we first must walk through the challenges and lessons of those before us. How else would the history that we have to teach us today be there‚ how else would we have the literature to educate us? Colonialism was all about the newer‚ bigger‚ better lands and though these lands had natives already‚ they were just another obstacle. They

Racial Profiling is an issue in not just the United States‚ but all over the world. People are being discriminated for their race‚ religion‚ ethnicity‚ and many more. This is very prominent when it comes to the police and security.

Here in America race is based largely as binary opposition between black and white‚ and this system for much of America’s history has oppressed other races (Nanda and Warms 249).

The term racial smog‚ to me means‚ a clouded judgement based on the skin color of an individual. A clouded judgement is placing all individuals of a certain race in one specific group without knowing anything else about them. For example‚ saying all Hispanic people are illegal aliens or criminals‚ all African Americans are good at sports or are criminals‚ all German people are Nazis‚ etc. It is a predetermined prejudice we give people based on their outward appearance. To me‚ this type of thought
