Racism as World Violence
World violence is more like an optional issue for people to develop
acknowledge. World violence is not only the peoples stereotype that react
to others difference. However, there are numerous videos that share
contents of bullying and provocative images that can spread over the
internet. These videos are easily accessible for anyone everyone who
explores on social media such as YouTube and Facebook. Or even just look
up in Google. As the developer network is functional around the world that
viewer who see the video can also leave their commons for the producer.
Somehow, people usually agree with what the victims have been through
from the videos. Generally, the bullier will be heroized has no shame of
bullying. Even though, using violence or strong emotional reaction in
communities is non-acceptable, people will think or feel it is not a big deal
because it is not happening to them. On the other hand, the producer
always ignores or refute their mistake when people gives opposite
judgements. Also, the producer wont receive or get any punishments by
doing it. As the result, people dont respond to what have shown or share on
the internet or media. Similarly, the media on television or newspaper
advertising reporter have tried to advocate discrimination between different
races. If the issue of racism, bullying, and unfair treatment still carries on in
every country without being controlled, occurrences will only increase but
not be solved. In addition, social media need to highly organize their level
of classification and people in different races is equally treated. This essay

LIN 2

will have further analysis of racism, how it should be eradicated for

everyone to be treated in a fair way. Other than that, a human needs to be
aware that it is not advisable and the effects of racism to victims.
In 1992, Los Angeles riots was a cruelty event for sociality around
Koreatown. The unfair racist treatment began with Rodney King over speed
from the bar and got pulled over in 1991. In addition, four policies started
beaten Rodney King deadly on his body, furthermore, four cops were not in
any trouble after the court judged, but still in charge of the law. However,
in the same date a neighborhood name George Holiday who lived around the
spot who filmed a tape and delivered to the television station KTLA which
proved that four cops were over violent to control or treat Rodney King at
the time. As the result, African-American were not happy with it, but they
couldnt do anything with their angriness. Same year in March 16th, an
African-American girl Latasha Harlins was killed by the Korean liquid store
owner Du. As the socialist between Korean and African-American were not in
the same line at the time, African-American exploded the angry emotion
with Korean in Koreatown. However, the speech from both sides were not
similar at all that fuse the bad event in Korean town. In the April 29th,
1992, the final court judgement for four cops were out with the result that
four officers were acquitted of assault: three were acquitted of using
excessive force with no guilt, which makes African-American felt worst and
worst that toward the riots began right after the judged. On the first day of
the riots was horrible, because all African-American were on the street to
defeat and fight for their rights and equally treatments from the white
socialist. Therefore, they used more violent to prove their position in this

LIN 3

socialist with wrong method. African-American were rubbed the stores

nearby Koreatown and searched for different race people and beaten them
hardly, especially, the truck driver Reginald Denny, who was recorded it as
the first person who been pulled out to rub and beaten. The videos of the
media report were filming and sharing all the chaos in Koreatown, also the
chaos were already under-control either police or government. The
newspaper said that it was the state emergency and closed down the harbor
freeway that tried to keep the chaos in the city but not spread out to other
cities. In addition, the area was the curfew zone started from the riots
began. Moreover, these riots stop in six days after, during these six days the
National Guard came, the military came, and Rodney King came also broke
the silence that said can we all get along? Who really wants the chaos be
finished. After six days Los Angeles back into work and people started
pointing out the main reasons of this riot. From local socialist side were
saying this was all began with the unfair treatment either Rodney King and
Latasha Harlin, however, the government side was saying it was all began
with the liquid store owner who shot Latasha because she was trying to steal
the juice from the shop. As the result, the conclusion shows that everyone
was trying to avoid from the responsibility of riots, especially the
government was pushing this toward to local socialite. As the time passed,
the local citizen did not look into these riots, but the shadow of the unfair
treatment is still in their minds.
Over violent and racism problems are kept on happening in this socialist
now a day after riots and made citizen felt nervous about the different race
and worst. People who were using social media that share the videos or clips

LIN 4

on the social network that is poisoning the behavior. People start thinking by
bullying or teasing others who is weaker or nerdier then them is the hero or
leader behavior. Additionally, people post those videos on network to
receiving feedbacks or supporting commons. The viewer might think the
video is funny by showing one is bullying another, but their commons of the
videos are the main reasons that people are keeping on doing it without any
guilt or embarrass. Therefore, people enjoy filming the video with violence,
tease, and bully on network space, for examples: YouTube, Facebook, or
Twitter. Nevertheless, there are few commons are against their behavior,
but producer refuse it and optionally select the commons they like to read.
In addition, as the level of the classification of the media select are not
highly organize and people are hiding behind the computer to avoid the
following responsibility that might toward from videos to them. The
Uploader are increasing numbers just because they want to increase their
channels popularity on social media. Even though, this might be an
opportunity to earn money, the wrong process shouldnt be acceptable.
Similarly, on the network or magazines advertising has also been able to
see this racism problem that used color differences to classify the
difference. People use their competitive mentality to rank the race position.
Because the different point of view from everyone who saw or read the
images that will come out different responding and start the complaining. In
addition, it will develop the risk of races bias and peoples
misunderstanding of their words. Instead, few amounts of people are
reminded by making positive words or article to support the right on social
media. Additionally, people who accept the words of appropriate treatment

LIN 5

will give their thumb up with the article, however, it does not represent
everyones acknowledge to support or agree with their works. As people
have more negative emotional feeling of the disagreement or unacceptable
images toward them, the negative ideas of bullying or teasing will appear
and hurting others. In the article Mass Media and Racism by Stephen
Balkaran that mention in the paragraph about the background of the riots
and the media provided were being deleted after the riots which is another
bad method for the teens to learn from the past but not what they learn
from the media. Because the media have divided the class and stereotype
young African-American guys as the drug dealer or some murder involve
members. In addition, the media have crushed youths prospects for future
environments. Author also point out his view and the reasons why the
sociality can be equalize and fair. Because the main reasons for the
inadequate coverage of the underlying causes of racial stereotypes in the US
is that the condition of blacks itself is not a matter of high interest to the
white majority. Their interest in African-American is focused on what they
imagine fear and it became a problem. Therefore, youth learn from what
people stereotyped but not what they think after they contact with. From
another paragraph from website Media & Racism that mention about the
social media for advertising or poster are second hand edited. Instead of
teaching or telling the truth, people want to point out their stereotypes was
right on different races, therefore, the editor has edited the photos or the
information before it appears in the worldwide. In addition, they will add
more strong words to strengthen the difference between their generation
and others. Another wrong thing for the media is that even the organizer of

LIN 6

social media knows the racial problem shouldnt appear too remarkable on
the network, they didnt remove it or warning the Uploader to delete or
take off the video. As a result, people can easily see those videos by
searching on search engine without classifying.
In conclusion, because people want to conspicuous their race is different
and is the highest rank of the balance, they use the wrong process and
methods to catch Audients attention. However, by pointing out the mistake
on the internet is not enough to cover the racial problem and stereotyping
others. People now are living in nervous environment and against other at
every moment. Additionally, people are not developing their mind
knowledge and their subjective opinions of different races. This issue is not
only happening in social media or the history, foremost, it is also happening
in the environment that helps teens to grow. If teens increasing their ideas
or knowledge of the race when they was young in against or adverse way,
then the stereotype will hardly be removed afterward. Instead of posting
the negative or refuse information, every race need to realize that people
are born equal and people most treat others in the same position. In
addition, this will help others how they react to you or respond to racial
differences. Most importantly, it will be a good model for the teens as a
guide while they learn and see.
