    Bernard King says how he was racially discriminated. The police came and hit him and he wasn't treated right. His friends didn't realize he was in trouble and he wished they did. His team could have helped him.

    I think King was thought of badly because he was good at basketball and the white fans and players of other teams didn't like that he was black.
  • Sam B on 25 Feb 14
     
    This is not recent and a little one sided. The events are only told by King's perspective and no other reason he discriminated.

    This article talks about racism in Tennessee towards a Tennessee Volunteer basketball player.

    In Nashville people are supposed to stand, speak, act. Tennessee has a Anti-Racist Network. The Tennessee Anti-Racist Network urges Tennesseans who disagree with their elected officials speaking at a racist convention.

  • Jefferson Davis and Nathan Bedford Forrest were leading figures in splitting up the U.S. during 1861-65 in that failed war to maintain the economic system of slavery. Davis was president of the Confederate States of America, 11 states that seceded from the Union

    This article consists of the KKK marches in our general area. KKK tried to save Nathan Bedford Forrest and Jefferson Davis legacy by not allowing Memphis to rename the racist parks.

    This article is great because this shows the other side of the fight. Some African Americans have made some bad choices, but so have many whites as we have seen with the KKK, church bombing, and many others that exemplify the cruelty that both sides have done to push for there cause.

    If the park is named after a racist, that does not mean that the park is racist.
  • Jack F on 20 Feb 14
     
    I think that the only way people who are racist like the KKK are getting their power is because of the reaction they get. I mean does someone complain when none of the people they are talking to care what they say.
  • Jimmy T. on 20 Feb 14
     
    I agree with Jack. I think racist groups like the KKK get their power is because so many people talk about them and do news articles on them.
  • Jerry P on 20 Feb 14
     
    Most articles only talk about African Americans and stuff they did, but this article is one of those rare ones that talks about bad stuff white people do. I agree with Robert.
  • Henry B on 20 Feb 14
     
    I like this because it is a little different like Jerry said, but I see that you highlighted this and I don't think it said everything you really wanted to say.
  • Samuel K on 20 Feb 14
     
    I also agree with Robert. I think that all of these people put a lot of lives in the way for a problem that could have easily been solved. It also shows how the blacks had to struggle for their rights and freedom. This article also looks at not just the black side of this problem (because that is the side that we always look at) but how that African Americans also made some bad choices and how some of them effected the problem as well.
  • SeanMarc T on 21 Feb 14
     
    This event shows how Memphis has a bad racist history and that it wasn't a good idea to name the parks the name of racists in the first place.
  • William S on 21 Feb 14
     
    This is very questionable. I would like to see the originator of this park. Perhaps a KKK leader created it? This is a big problem and I'm glad they're fixing it.
  • Ben S on 21 Feb 14
     
    This is a great article to help us get more information about our city's black history. This is a great article for our group to collaborate on and discuss.
  • Seth R on 21 Feb 14
     
    How does this develop our learning? It's really just about a park named after someone. I like how this is up-to-date and uses facts and history.
  • Hewes S on 21 Feb 14
     
    This does not give us any further information about racial discrimination. It has nothing to do with helping it either.
  • Sam B on 24 Feb 14
     
    This points to how the KKK is getting weaker despite the ongoing of the clan and how some of them are even in Memphis.

Dr.King Memphis racism issues

shared by Jim K on 10 Feb 14 - No Cached
  • Does racism still exist forty years after the Civil Rights movement?  Do African Americans continue to face racial discrimination in today’s society?  Does racism undermine our national unity?  The answer to these questions is overwhelmingly yes.  No matter how far America progresses, there will always be people who thwart America’s evolution into a post-racist society.  Nonetheless, in order to gain understanding of our progression, or lack of, we must first analyze racism on a local level.  In order to alleviate racist attitudes, we must first put forth an effort in our own homes and communities.  Local citizens should work together in order to instill a sense of community shared across racial lines.  The social and economic status of African Americans may vary from city to city, but in Memphis, Tennessee, racial discrimination is undeniably still an issue.
  •  Memphis, Tennessee has long been known as a city that symbolizes racism; Memphis will forever be burdened with being labeled as “the city where Dr. King was assassinated.”  Because Memphis was the sight of the tragic death of Dr. Martin Luther King, it is the best place to test America’s progress. 
  • Jim K on 10 Feb 14
     
    This is how Memphis is still effected by racial issues still today. We are forever to be categorized as the city were King died.
  • Sam B on 19 Feb 14
     
    Although much of the information is believable and maybe even true, most of it is an opinion stating that Memphis is a racists community known as the place where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.

    The "N word has been used all around Memphis. I have had some experience. I have been down to a soup kitchen in downtown Memphis and I heard a white worker say the "N word." I feel like it is a real problem that spreads around Tennessee and the Nation.
