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.

Using the "N Word" around Memphis - 5 views

  •  
    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.

    I feel like this was part of an opinion but it was a good source.

    You need a link besides sweet search. I think you got your link wrong.

Bringing Back Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech - 23 views

  •  
    This article is about Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream and how it has affected America so far (like Obama) and how we need to pursue his dream.
  • ...14 more comments...
  •  
    I think that a speech at a famous landmark in Memphis would be the best way to get the word out. I'm piggybacking off of Martin Luther King Jr.
  •  
    I think that this website could help in our group discussion, and I like how you used history and this can help us find out what people have done in the past to fix the problem.
  •  
    I think that this will help our project because I might lead us to something different.
  •  
    I feel like there is a little more information to be used in this paragraph, I feel like it was formal though. I suggest using a little more recent site.
  •  
    I personally think that this is full of information that is good, but is more of an opinion.
  •  
    A good link showing how our country has decided to embrace change in our presidential decisions on who to lead the country. Soon we will probably have many different races and even genders of people as leaders of the country.
  •  
    I think you also need some more background in this. There just isn't enough information in what you said to be sure of the real problem. Where is the problem? All you are saying is we need to pursue Obama's dream. No problem is stated.
  •  
    Are you saying that we need to bring back Martin's idea? Yes. I am. I like how you had the idea of using something that has already happened and worked to spread the word about racism. This is a reliable link because it is from a University, but this seems to have very many opinions in it.
  •  
    It is great what Martin Luther King has done to unify us. I wouldn't have some of my friends today if it weren't for him. I try to live by: Judge a man by his actions; not the color of his skin. I think it would be great to make a celebration for him. I think the article was good, I just think you could find a deeper one.
  •  
    Is this link valuable? Sure it compares Lincoln to king and king to Obama, but that is not affecting our community.
  •  
    I like how it asks questions and then answers them in detail. I also like how it compares old racism to new racism.
  •  
    This article is great talking about how the "I have a Dream" speech has brote this country together.
  •  
    Why is this important now? This is important because of its history and heritage. What drove MLK to give this speech. We should consider following MLK's ways of leadership and awareness.
  •  
    I don't think that this is biased. However, I don't think it's very valuable either; it's an interview with someone who wrote a book that connects Abraham Lincoln to Obama to Martin Luther King Jr.
  •  
    This page is quite one-sided. The side supporting Martin Luther King's speech. The answers to these questions are said by one man rather than a group or groups of people. Imagine what a somewhat racist person would say to some of these questions.
  •  
    I think we need to focus more on what his dream could have done to racial discrimination more that just look at it and say, " Man that is a great dream."

Memphis Accuses Wells Fargo of Discriminating Against Blacks - NYTimes.com - 21 views

  •  
    This article is about Wells Fargo making black houses in neighborhood after neighborhood foreclose, to where they make the people have not home. They target one poor black house at a time and send out the bills that they can not pay.
  • ...14 more comments...
  •  
    Wells Fargo needs to send bills to every type of person at a time.
  •  
    There is no ladder of feedback. Need to add the tag Martin Luther King Jr.
  •  
    Can you go deeper into the topic, this way you can understand the topic better.
  •  
    The black homeowners have definitely gotten the short end of the stick with how they are being treated by Wells Fargo.
  •  
    I think that this in completely based on few to no facts. More black homeowners going into foreclosure doesn't mean there is racism involved. There are factors this doesn't account for, like getting fired. However, this doesn't mean that it isn't happening.
  •  
    I agree that it sounds like Wells Fargo is definitely just trying to make blacks and Latinos lose their homes. That's just unfair.
  •  
    What was the major problem? You were not clear about that. Also, why do they need to send bills to everyone at a time. I don't think they should send blacks or anyone bills for the foreclosure reason.
  •  
    The article is a great example of racial discrimination and this could lead us to more companies that discriminate African-American citizens.
  •  
    This is yes racism but also greed. They specificly target these people because they know that they can't pay these bill so they go straight for them. And they are making tons of money off of this. Just like at their stock.
  •  
    This needs to be more clear, you need more facts. This could be a good article for our group though.
  •  
    This is a good article to show how major companies can be racist. Although I feel as though this could have happened to a white person or another race.
  •  
    I agree with Griffin I think that it would be better if you went into further deatails.
  •  
    Maybe your description could be longer.
  •  
    This may not be racial discrimination. Black neighborhoods are common in Memphis and those neighborhoods are most likely the poorer ones. The families may be in dept, thus their interest goes up.
  •  
    I agree with Sam. Maybe it was just a coincidence that all the people being forclosed on just happened to be black that one time.
  •  
    I don't think this article looks at every perspective. It doesn't look at the perspective of Wells Fargo. The foreclosures could have something to do with their jobs. Maybe their pay got cut, or they got fired. I'm not saying that it isn't happening, but I feel that it jumps to conclusions.

Racism Against Native Americans - 2 views

  •  
    This article is mainly about racism toward Native Americans. It's short, but contains a lot of information. I wouldn't say it's only in our community. It is a nation-wide conflict.

Asians And 'Model Minority Myth' | yourpublicmedia.org - 3 views

  •  
    I realize that this isn't up-to-date, but I personally knew Asians who committed suicide because of racism issues. We need to focus on different races like Asians, Latinos, and Arabs. This article is about Asians and how their suicide rates our high because of a racism problem.
  •  
    As we see that racism isn't just to black people.
  •  
    This is a good article and it is also very reliable and has good information.
