What Is The Relationship Between Race And Class In The United States

Improved Essays
The relationship between race and class in the United States has always been strong. Though many aspects of ethnic citizens lives have made massive strides towards equality, many of the struggles from the Gilded Age still persist in society today. Since 1865 Black Americans have been granted citizenship, the right to vote, and the freedom of equality throughout society. We have had a black President for almost 8 years, black culture widely adopted in the media, and there are black professionals throughout the business world. So, why is there still such a disparity when comparing race and class? I believe the impossible task is, and always has been achieving social equality. Slavery set a vicious guideline for our history as a country, and we

    In their article "Is America More Divided by Race or Class?", Sean McElwee, Jesse Rhodes, and Brian Schaffner discuss whether the election of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States was influence more by race or class. Specifically, they use research to dissect how race and class influence political affiliation. Donald Trump being elected was influenced by the intersection of class and race because when people began to look into the demographics that voted for him they found that working class whites propelled him in polls which made people question whether his victory was a result of the economic condition in the United States. Others argued that his victory was solely based on his ignorant comments about race, but the fault…

Most of the mainstream discussions about the topic do not really take into account what people of color need in an ally.

    Coming from my position in life, I often find challenge in analyzing, interpreting, and discussing social class. It weighs on me that I likely bring unfair biases and predispositions to this topic. I am a white, American, educated, athletic male from a family with both parents still together and without many financial troubles. Aside from perhaps a degree from a prestigious University or boat loads of cash, I do not think that I could be more privileged. Although my privilege might sway my ideas on the matter of social class, I am working to remove these biases in order to truly recognize the ways in which the social construct of social class influences the individuals, communities, and institutions that I come in contact with in everyday life.…

Many people seem to get a little shaky on the topic of privilege and race.

Privileges are defined by the people who have them.…

    Saperstein and Penner’s article, “Racial Fluidity and Inequality in the United States,” highlights the processes that make race a product of expectations, versus an unchangeable essential constant, how it was perceived as for so long in history. Race, they argue, is defined by expectations in which people are judged in everyday interactions. Because of these these expectations (“stereotypes”) of how people should act, which is especially dependent on their fluctuating social status, black stigmatization and white privilege are able to survive and flourish. In their research they discovered that people tended to be classified (and identify themselves) as “more white” or “more black” based on the fluctuating positive and negative attributes to…

One of the more current of said topics is the idea of reparations for African-Americans for the great injury slavery caused.

    Ehrenreich describes how she felt invisible, almost completely unnoticed by the women she cleaned houses for, “Mostly, though, she will not see you at all and may even sit down with her mail at a table in the very room you are cleaning, where she would remain completely unaware of your existence unless you were to crawl under that table to and start gnawing away at her ankles” (481, Ehrenreich). Ehrenreich was made to feel inferior when she was working at Merry Maids, in a similar way to how bell hooks felt at school. If you treat someone like they are inferior, eventually they may begin to believe it…

    My life has been affected by race, class and ethnicity everyday in different ways. Each category has affected my life in different ways, but they are a major part what makes me who I am. I was born into all three sections of being born into the working class, as a white person who is American. I can not change the fact that I am white, unless I want to go through many procedures, I can not change the fact that I was born an American, but I can choose if I want to leave what class I am in.

    Racial and social class issues plague United States throughout history, and these problems persisted after slavery. Since the beginning of the United States, African Americans faced forced deportation from their homeland, enslavement for over 200 years, restriction of rights, punishments to discourage hope, and laws that took away the fundamental rights. One of the earliest laws that restricted the liberties of African Americans was the legalization of slavery in the United in 1641, “The first legal code established by European colonists in New England, legalizes slavery.” With the establishment of slavery now legal in the United States, Africans, because this would be first generation slaves, became cemented as a lower class of humans in the…
