Racial Profiling/ Discrimination

Basu, Rekha. "'Shopping while Black' and the Risk of Profiling."​ Des Moines Register​, 04 Feb,

2018, pp. OP.4​, SIRS Issues Researcher​,https://sks.sirs.com

Racial Profiling is still taking place. According to the James Conley III’s Viral video

showing him being racially profiled by being accused on shoplifting at the Jordan Creek old

Navy. He was presumed as an shoplifter because his skin didn’t add up with the jacket he was

wearing meaning that because he was a different race than white he looked as if he couldn't

afford the jacket. The workers asked him to take off the jacket to prove that he didn’t steal

anything. This shows that because someone has black skin they can’t purchase the same clothing

as someone of another race.

This article is very useful in my paper because it shows that racism is everywhere

including in the places you love the most. This shows me an indirect form of racism called polite

racism. The article is useful because it shows how someone can determine what you can and

cannot afford because of your skin and not what you actually have in your pockets.

In order to understand if the world’s racism is changing or decaying you would have to

know the root of the racism. How did it start? Where did it come from? You can’t understand the

problem without knowing the root of the issue. After you find the root you should then try to

understand where the issue will take you. Racism can lead your life in many different directions

if you allow it. For instant you have all the qualifications for being an worker in the city hall but

there's always the white man stealing it away because of the color of his skin. So therefore in this

article the author analyzed the future of race in the twenty-first century.

This article to me is important because it shows how racism could take control of your

life whether you get the job at the doctor's office to whether you get to reserve a seating for 2.

This article shows me that you can’t just call something that you didn't like racism. You have to

first know what racism is and know what just being honest is. Many people in today's society get

the tongue of honesty and the tongue of racism mixed up because they don’t exactly understand

racism.

School Segregation has been going on for decades from slavery to now. Segregation in

the slavery times was not optional African americans didn’t have a choice of an education. While

school segregation now is unintentional. Studies show that the nation’s public schools has

increased steadily over the past 15 years. Segregation is now much greater than at any time since
the era of forced busing to achieve racial balance in the public schools. NAACP was an strong

advocate of integration within the schools.

This article could help me because it lets me know that segregation within the schools

have been amongst us for decades. It helps me to believe that school segregation in this

generation unintentional segrate schools. For examples in an of Caucasian you would overall see

about 7% african americans this could be because its in an certain area of housing where only

Caucasians could afford it, or it could be that we don’t believe that were smarter than a

Caucasian so self doubt from slavery.

Gangs  has  evolved  over  time  and  it  has  affected  the perception of blacks. It made the racial 

profiling  worse  for  blacks.  For  instant  in  this  article  an  womans  son  was  assumed  as  an  gang 

member  because  of  his  skin  color.  This  shows  that  black  people  can  presume  as  a  treat  to  other 

races.  With  no  physical  evidence  of  any  gang  related  colors  you  will still get falsely alleged of being 

in  a  gang  because  of  your  race.  In  this  article  it  stated  that  even  if  your  not  in  a  gang  police  can 

accuse  you  as  an  slight  offender  by  the  way  you  Dress,  having  a  mass  variety  of  tattoos,  or  just 

simply sitting on your front porch.  

This  article  would  be  important  in  my  research  because  it  shows  me  how  an  color  of  your 

skin  to  an  police  officer  can  mean  your  trouble.  In  this  article  being  black  means  your  in  a  gang  or 

you  can  be  an  slight  offender  of  any  crime  in  their  eyes.  It  shows  how  we  have  no  chance  of  just 

being an normal individual in your own home environment.

 No  where  in  the  United  states  will  the  income  of  young  african  american  Male  be  the  same 

as  the  income  of  an  young  Caucasian  male  raised  in  the  same  neighborhood  by  parents  that  are 

almost the same in any way. Even if both parents are compatible in wealth and education levels. This 

information  was  proven  to  be  true  because  of  the  recent  study released on March of 2018 that now 

follows  adults  who  are  in  their  late  30s  and  40s.  This  statement  is  even  true  when  it  comes  to  an 

black male raised in an wealthy household compared to and poor white kid.  

This  can  be  used  in  my  research  because it shows me that no matter if your wealthy or poor 

it doesn’t matter when your in our society because the whites will always come out to be richer.

The  gap  of income has increased from the year of 1979-1990. Because us african americans 

has  been  lacking  behind  white  for  so  long  it  cause  us  to  lack  a  lot  financially  behind  the  white.  It 

made the median of their income go up and the median of ours go down.  

This  would  be  important  in  my  research  because  it  shows  how  bad  we  lack  behind  white in 

the financial standpoint.

In  the  month  of  november  of  2007  two  reports  on  racism  became  the  talk  of  the  country  in 

the  national  news.  In  the  data  you  find  some reasons that discomfort us in categorized places of us 

being  poor  together, and studies you also find some ways we are also separate from each other with 

us being African American.  

This  study  shows  us  that racism has been trying to be the topic of discussion but something 

“important”  always  comes  up  and  pushes  this  issue  to  the  side.  Racial  inequality  is  like a topic that 

can always be swept under the rug

With it being 20 centeries since the brown vs education case school seregation has gotten

a little between many races . Nowadays we do’t get told no we can’t go to school because of our

race instead we get in trouble when we dont report to school or when were tardy theirs alwqays

some sort of conciquence. Schools for us has changed so much over the centures of our life and

it could only get better for us.

I can use this for my reaserch paper becuase it shows how schools has transformed from

then to now. It shows how much the school system has changed over the years. It shows us how

we are slightly segrated in schools based on our communities of which we live in. The income

ofour households, and the background memories of the people we love, and also the way this

generation thinks.

The difference between Race and Racism most people don’t understand, well the

different between the two was developed in this article the breaking down of the two. This article

tells us that the white supremacy has made a commitment to make us fail when potientally

getting close to their level. This article also states that no one is born racist meaning that racism

is taught just like the basic do’s and dont’s.

This could be significant in my research because it states no one is born racist meaning

this act has to be taught. That means just like when your parents tells you not to touch the hot
stove or you’ll get burnt racism can be the same way by teaching a little white kids that no black

person is better then you and to the little black kids every white man is after you.

Grogg, Patricia. "Cuba: 'Black Brotherhood' Targets Racial Inequality." Global

Information Network​, 08 Sep, 2009​. SIRS Issues Researcher​, ​https://sks.sirs.com​.

In this article it states that someone whats to preventsracism just as much as me. They

protest and states that something needs to be done about racial inequality. In the article it states

that ‘ In te face of this phenomenon, we can’t sit back with our arms crossed. Some voices of

alert are being heard” this lets us know that people recongnize the voices that cry out for help

abot racism but we tune it out because it hasn’t happened to us at all.

I can use this in my paper because this could be that people wants the racism to stop they

come in any type white, black, and minorities, no matter whats the race they want the to stop. It

shows us that too many people sit on their buts and do nothing at all but always saying its a

problem and complaining.

Videotaping is a huge role in the solution to racism. Without racism there would be so
many deaths and injuries due to racism. When people record incidents it can help change
someones live in helping them make it home to their families.

This is important because it helps with fighting racism most people don’t have the voice
to stop racist acts so they record and post it on social media which is the fastest way to get it
changed. When people record the police officer won’t hurt the victim as much as they would off
video so thats how it can save lives.
