Racism. Blog 7
Racism is a belief that will never go away, there is no 'decimating racism'. It will forever be present in the world because it is created and taught through personal experiences and the way one is brought up. Everyone is different in life and there is no such thing as being equal to another human. The numerous cases occurring today such as the Ferguson or Eric Garner incident is being spun into a "racism problem"; that the white cops purposely go after every black person to intentionally hurt them and bring them down. If these cases weren't white cop black man, there would be no publicity, no protests, no built up tension. What would be the reaction if this situation was a black cop and black man or black cop white man ? Nothing. Right. So don't you think that the people that think its racist are the ones who are turning it into a racism problem? These people that lash out at the police by disrespecting them and bring it upon themselves for getting into predicaments like these. Then the protesters blame everything on police brutality for doing their job and keeping the area safe by stopping them from violently protesting and harming the area. For example, authorities found a bag with numerous hammers and a black mask after a man assaulted two NYPD officers on the Brooklyn Bridge. Most of the protesters don't have a clue of all of the pieces to the crime such as the Eric Garner case. Do you think any of them know who the supervisor was? A black female NYPD sergeant. That's real racist and even sexist isn't it! So please, keep protesting and ruining the cities you live in and disrespecting the higher authority even more and keep holding your signs saying, 'Black lives matter' and 'I can't breathe' it will get you real far in life!!

I hope the humans are not destined to be racist forever. I believe in your generation, Hope.
ReplyDeleteI support Hope's statement that racism will never necessarily disappear forever. It is impossible because it is all based on the feelings and opinions someone has on other races and their culture/way of life. It is impossible to have every single person excepting of every race unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI do believe the African Americans are put under white people in this society but not as much as the past generations. However I also agree with Hope that they partly do it to them selves. They live completely different than white people do and tend to want to be around other African Americans in more poorer areas, they tend to group together as people would describe as the projects or the bronx. This is not my personal opinion but it's a clear visual that anyone agree on. When we talk about poverty in class this has a lot to do with why we don't see a lot of blacks in or around our school district. Some of them act out and think their lifestyle always has to be crime and viloence which is why the claim is made that a cop would suspect a black person over a white person of a crime. It's just how our society has been and sadly might always be because I can't see that ever going away. In Eric Garners case I don't see that as racism because they suspected him of a crime so as cops they were asking their informative questions as he resisted and became difficult. I do believe they used an excessive amount of force as they got him on the ground but not because they are racist, just because he was resisting and they had to obtain custody of him. Anyone who tried to say it was out of racism was trying to get sympathy from the blow up of Ferguson.
