Mass Media and Racism - 5 views

  •  
    The Media has shown many wrong bad things about black people such as gangsters, gang violence, drug use, and crime. While this evil profiling is widespread most of it is incorrect.
  •  
    I think that this site is full of very important information and shows the heart of racism is from the media. Q's How have the media shown this? How can we change this?
  •  
    I like your site and how you described your topic. Maybe you could update your website a little bit, and add a few more tags.

Concern About Racism and Social Networking Grows - 1 views

    This is about racism increasing in social media. This isn't directly in our community, but I consider social media everybody's community.

Three more thugs arrested for racially motivated mob attacks in Warner Robbins, GA - 2 views

  • If the races had been reversed, this would be a major national news story. There is absolutely no doubt that national media would be in a frenzy right now. About thirty black teenagers, in Warner Robins, Georgia, celebrated a snow day by rioting and committing racially motivated hate crime mob attack. Five white adults were brutally attacked by the mob. One of the victims was a woman who had an infant baby with her. The thugs posted the this photo (right) on the internet to gloat about the attacks. The thugs screamed racial slurs during the assaults. The total number of arrests has increased to five. Since the perps are all juveniles, there will be very little repercussions for their actions. From Macon Telegraph… Three more teens were arrested Friday for their alleged involvement in an attack at Warner Robins High School last week when the school was closed for snow. D’Angelo Montell Roquemore, 17, of Warner Robins, has been charged with aggravated assault in the Jan. 29 brawl, according to a police news release. In addition, a 15-year-old boy from Warner Robins and a 14-year-old boy from Warner Robins were each charged with aggravated assault, the release states. Police did not release the boys’ names because they are juveniles. Two teens already were arrested in the incident, bringing the total number of arrests to five. Shymalik Raekwon Mitchell, 17, of Warner Robins, was arrested Wednesday an

      Something not fair is how if this were the other way around, this would be very major. It seems like media today is still racist.... just now to white people

      It's a good topic but this does not apply to racism in Memphis.
  •  
    3 black thugs called a white awful racial slurs, and brutally beat him.

    In the article I feel like it is one sided. We didn't here from the black point of view, what if the 5 white people threatened them? I feel like you need to add to the tags. For example, assault. Also, you highlighted almost all of it and Mr. Cummings said not to. Also, Georgia isn't in our community. We need to find the other side of the story, like what caused the black kids to kill them. What were the white people doing to provoke the blacks to kill them?
  •  
    I agree with Sam it really doesn't apply to Memphis because every night on Action News 5 you always see that someone either kidnapped someone or murdered someone. It is also black people and white people. So it wouldn't really be a big deal if a white guy murdered someone randomly. This happens every day in Memphis either a murder, abuse, or kidnapping, its not a big deal white or black.

The Most Racist Films Of All Time - Business Insider - 25 views

  •  
    This is about racist films that we haven''t realized were racist. The film makers hide things like making an animal white that saves the world. This is how kids and even some adults have been learning racism.

    I believe this is a lot of examples of racism but is a little off topic.
  •  
    I agree with Jack and it is a really good site
  •  
    I enjoy how there are specific examples of racism and it tells us how some racism is taught. It isn't exactly in our community, yet it's in no body's community. I suggest you find another way that racism is taught because this seems a little silly.
  •  
    I like how you are also bringing up the things we never thought about before. Did you realize these were racist before this you saw this link?
  •  
    This points out how through our media and theater showings can greatly influence how people think.
  •  
    This is a great site and brings us good information.
  •  
    This topic is not from our part of the country.
  •  
    I think this is a strong possibility of how people become racist.
  •  
    I like that you thought about movies, but I think that you might could find something that is more in our area.
  •  
    Though this is true in some of these movies I don't think people were trying to be racist, but that was the impression that this gave. This is a different link and I think we need more diverse links like this one.
  •  
    I think some of these movies aren't purposelessly made to be racist others are so for the ones that are accidental need to watch out for stereotypes in their movies.
  •  
    This is a great article to show how there are so many rasist films out there. I do think that you coud add some more tags though, such as racist films. But other than that great job.
  •  
    I agree with Robert. Some films do not mean to be racist it just comes out that way.
  •  
    This is a good article, but it is hard to understand. Some movies don't mean to be racist. They just are. You have to think deep to understand why each one is racist.
