RACE AND ETHNICITY WHO MADE AMERICA THE COUNTRY IT IS TODAY?
WHY ARE CAUCASIANS CONSIDERED THE SUPERIOR RACE WHEN MINORITIES HELPED BUILD AMERICA? WHITE SUPREMACY IS THE BELIEF THAT WHITES (CAUCASIANS) ARE SUPERIOR TO PEOPLE OF OTHER RACES AND SHOULD THEREFORE HOLD A DOMINANT POSITION IN SOCIETY. FOLLOWERS OF WHITE SUPREMACY PROMOTE AN IDEOLOGY THAT DESCRIBES THE SOCIAL, POLITICAL, AND ECONOMIC DOMINATION OF WHITES OVER ALL OTHER RACES. WHERE AS, FOR A MINORITY THE STATEMENT (UNDER THE JAIL) WILL BE USED TO DESCRIBE THEIR OUTCOMES IN SOCIETY. CAFFREY, C. (2020). WHITE SUPREMACY. SALEM PRESS ENCYCLOPEDIA
CRIME AND STEREOTYPING OF RACES WHY SENTENCING IS MORE HARSHER FOR A MINORITY THAN IT IS FOR A CAUCASIAN? SAME CRIME BUT DIFFERENT OUTCOMES BEING THE SUPERIOR RACE HOLDS WEIGHT WHEN YOU LIVE IN AMERICA. WHITE MASS MURDERER OR THE KILLER OF AN UNARMED BLACK MAN VS. BLACK KING PIN DRUG DEALER OUTCOME: MENTAL INSTITUTION OR DROPPED OR REDUCED CHARGES VS. 30 YEARS TO LIFE FOR DRUGS (UNDER THE JAIL) AMERICA WILL NEVER SUCCEED WITH THESE HARSH REALITIES.
POWER AND PRIVILEGE PRIVILEGE IS A SPECIAL ADVANTAGE OR BENEFIT THAT NOT EVERYONE ENJOYS. G. ZIMMERMAN WAS ACQUITTED OF THE MURDER OF TRAYVON MARTIN CAUSING A STIR OF MIXED EMOTIONS FROM ALL RACES. IN MINNESOTA MOHAMED NOOR, A BLACK COP WAS FOUND GUILTY IN THE MURDER OF JUSTINE DAMOND AND HE ALSO CLAIMED SELF DEFENSE. (THE INTERCEPT.COM BY RACHEL M. COHEN MAY 2, 2019. IF BOTH MURDERERS WERE WHITE BOTH WOULD HAVE BEEN FOUND NOT GUILTY. DIFFERENT FORMS OF INEQUALITY STILL COEXIST WITHIN OUR SOCIETY. PORTER, M. (2019). IN W.H. DAVID R. CROTEAU, SOC102 BRYANT AND STRATTON COLLEGE (P. 111). MCGRAW- HILL EDUCATION.
HOW RACE IS PORTRAYED AND SEPARATED ON TV SOME TV SHOWS HAVE AN ALL WHITE CAST VS. THE SHOW THAT HAVE ONLY ONE BLACK OR OTHER MINORITY ON IT. MORE MINORITIES ARE STARTING THEIR OWN PRODUCTION COMPANIES AND ARE BECOMING DIRECTORS. IT S THE ONLY WAY A MINORITY CAN HAVE A STRONG LEAD
WHY MINORITIES GO TO GREAT EXTENTS TO BE ACCEPTED BY THE SUPERIOR RACE FROM STRAIGHTENING THEIR HAIR WHEREAS BRAIDS OR AN AFRO WOULD BE TOO BLACK TO THE CLOTHES THEY WEAR TO WHAT COLLEGES THEY ATTEND ( WHY DO WE HAVE TO CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT OURSELVES TO PLEASE THE NEXT PERSON)
CONCLUSION IT SHOULDN T MATTER WHO YOU ARE, RACE SHOULDN T DEFINE WHO YOU ARE. KNOWING WHO YOU ARE AND HOW YOU CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY IS ENOUGH TO CONSIDER YOURSELF SUPERIOR.
