If members of the white American population were to entertain themselves with newspapers, radio, television, or social media such a Facebook or Twitter today, it would be nearly impossible for them to escape the current conversation about race relations in the United States of America. They would be bombarded with varying opinions and ‘facts’ concerning the present situations in numerous locations across the country such as Atlanta, Ferguson, Los Angeles, and New York. Afterwards they would be expected to formulate an educated opinion and engage in conversations and respond to the issue presented before them by various outlets.
Some circuits, such as of The O’Reilly Factor, posit that the “accomplishments of the Ferguson Protest” are that the they have inadvertently “set back race relationships in America years, and [have] actually created more bias against blacks” (O’Reilly 2014). In contrast, others suggest that that the protests are necessary utensils needed to promote racial awareness and

Because, in god there is love, and in god there is peace, in god there is unity, and [protesters] are showing none of that to the human race.” By discrediting black grievances and discontinuing the national conversation about race relations and racism, whites are muddling the epistemic practices that encourage “the way out of the destructive ignorance of which…white America [possess]” (Spelman

    On February 26th, 2012, 17 year old Trayvon Martin was shot on the streets of Sanford, Florida, because he was perceived as threatening by local vigilante, George Zimmerman. Following Martin’s death, the nation was both shocked and outraged. How could something of racist nature occur here, in America? Yet this wasn’t the first incident, it was the first time the populace found out. In the United States, African Americans are two and a half times more likely to be killed by police than their white counterparts, though they may not even be committing a crime.…

    The death of the young African American Michael Brown, in the city of Ferguson, Missouri, sparked the national debate of whether or not his death was the act of prejudice at the hand of a Caucasian police officer. The media rushed to Ferguson and sided with the renegade protestors in order to cover the violent riots following his death. Although the riots lasted for months, journalist Noah Rothman wrote “Taking Sides in Ferguson” approximately two months after Michael Brown’s death. Rothman makes the strong case that the media’s direct role in Ferguson increased the violence of the rioters. However, he weakens his argument, because he bases his argument on the debatable assumptions that the media chose sides wrongly, were reporting rumor as fact, and that their commentary directly increased the violence;…

    An Ever Changing Country Although it has been decades since slavery ended, racism is still a profound controversy in the United States today. Charles Blow describes some of these levels of racism and its effects on people in the United States in his article “White America’s ‘Broken Heart’”. The article, as can be deciphered by the title, is about how white Americans today are handling the changing situations of equality in the United States. Blow published this article February 4, 2016, on The New York Times’ Opinion Pages on their website. Many Americans assume that racism is almost completely gone in today’s society, but Blow believes that it still lingers and is affecting the health of Caucasians in America.…

    In chapter three, “Black Faces in High Places”, Taylor discusses the rise of Black political power and its consequences for the Black poor and working class. Johnson’s War on Poverty and Great Society programs, between 1965 and 1972, created many job opportunities for Black workers. African Americans became wealthy enough to “live in spacious homes, buy luxury goods, travel abroad on vacation, spoil their children- to live, in other words, just like well-to-do white folks” (81). The emergence of the black middle class, allowed many Black elected officials to represent Black communities. The experiences of this small African American group became success stories of “how hard work could enable Blacks to overcome institutional challenges” (82).…

    Race and The Press Race has always been a delicate topic in America especially in light of recent police brutality incidents and deteriorating relations in the United States between People of Color(POC) and Caucasians after President Trump’s recent election. Journalism, especially the news, is a powerful and influential medium when it comes to the portrayal of a race as it shapes our perception. This can be seen in the movie “The Paper” when two young black men are suspected of a double murder just for walking by the crime scene and are then taken into custody and held with no evidence. Various networks frame the murder and the arrests as a racially motivated.…

    Glenn Beck, a constitutional conservative and a television host, confronts the hot issue of Black Lives Matter and whether it is a valid movement in his September 7, 2016 article, “Empathy for Black Lives Matter.” During a time of mass protests, riots, and police shootings of black citizens, Beck defends his position that the voices in the Black Lives Matter movement should be heard, and thus, he receives a lot of backlash from other conservatives. In defense of his opinion, and through the use of emotional appeals and parallel structure, Beck’s article successfully argues that all Americans should listen to each other and are prompted by his use of rhetorical questions to think more deeply about the issues Americans are facing. With tension…

    Breaking news, “In recent events, a white male was seen outside making obvious gestures towards a black male.” This is one of the many ways the media shows its interest in certain events. By inserting a person’s race, more individuals will be agitated and think negatively towards a group or groups of people depending on their view of the subject. It does not stop there, however. The media, also, makes it apparent to create arguments and controversy over other topics that include, but not limited to, gender, race, and birth control.…

    September 11, 2001 and in its immediate aftermath, was probably the last time that the people in the United States were unconcerned about social inequality. The terrorist acts that occurred on that day brought the nation together against a perceived common enemy. However, in the few years following that short lived period of solidarity, the nation went into a tailspin, beginning with the Great Recession of 2008 and climaxing in the current period of social unrest, the underpinnings of which reside in racial inequality, wealth inequality, and gender discrimination. The implications of these various social inequalities are the repeated outbursts of racial violence, the continued destabilization of the economy, and political strife that paralyzes…
