The Space Traders begin with the arrival of an extraterrestrial species, named Space Traders, which offer a solution to the current financial and environmental crises that America faces for an exchange of the current African American population. This initial offer was greeted with overwhelming support by the white population who viewed the space traders as being pleasant and unthreatening. Conversely, the black population did not share the same enthusiasm toward the space traders and disapproved…

obstacles of viewing people in color and start staring at them for whom they actually are, we can make this planet a utopia for all. This is why “Champions of the World” by Maya Angelou is a well-written historical novel of major importance to all races around the world because it shows an authentic historical view on racial relations, on perseverance, and the applicability of the information on today’s personas. Maya Angelou story illustrates the harassment that all African American’s have…

describes the boys who are playing classical music, in ratty clothes and sneakers. Classical music’s target audience is educated white people, but having three colored boys playing classical music by a white composer, proves that music doesn’t care about race and people shouldn 't either. Toi Derricotte stated the following in her poem, “Beneath the surface we are one” (Derricotte 832). The speaker in the poem is saying that all people are the same. The color of a person’s skin should not define…

look back at past studies and ideas not only to retest hypotheses but also to see how far the scientific community has brought society. One branch to look back on would be biology, more specifically human variation. At the present time we know that race is not a biological variation. All humans on earth are of one species Homo sapiens. However this was not always the view from the scientific community. The early studies of human variation were vastly different compared to the present. The goal…

group. Color may be used to assign others to a group but despite the contrary, is not an actual indicator of race, although its ideas are similar to Brazilians. “With racism, it is the social meaning afforded…

One of the greatest foundations of racial issues in my opinion is Racial Profiling. Racial profiling is the act of suspecting or targeting a person of a certain race based on a stereotype about their race. In main words, it’s just basically stereotyping. Racial profiling seems to be big in law enforcement. A good example of racial profiling by the police is when A Hispanic driver is stopped in a "white" neighborhood because he "doesn’t belong there" or "looks to be out of place and/or a…

Lynching is to hang someone by mob action without legal authority("Lynch"). The problem stemmed from whites not wanting slaves as equals. This was particularly big in the south as they were last people to abolish slavery in the US by force. Lynchings started off by Southerners blaming the newly freed slaves for their problems…

the Motif of “Blackness” and “Racism” in Shakespeare 's Othello Most individuals often assume the words “blackness” and “racism” to be connected. The reason for this is because various imbeciles who are racist, sometimes believe that people of other races will not go to heaven. In addition, during the Elizabethan era, large amounts of people believed that black was the colour of witchcraft so it would make sense for an uneducated person of that time to be racist against black people. In…

Intersectionality cannot merely be defined as the recognition of multiple, and marginalized, identities. Instead, Crenshaw asserts that intersectionality must address the fact that each identity impacts an individual’s experience and oppression in different ways, and that to analyze a situation from an intersectional perspective means to investigate acts of individual oppression and the effects of overlap as well. These multiple aspects of an individual’s identity serve to enhance and…

Education is an essential part of life. Looking at education through race is beneficial because education is not the same for all races. In Jon Spayde’s “Learning in the Key of Life” he talks about what it means to be educated. He asks the question, “What does it mean—and more important, what should it mean—to be educated?” in the beginning of his essay. This connects to Richard Wright’s “The Library Card” because he found a way to get through obstacles to become educated. To be educated…
