    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.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    In this article, it talks about how the police went to close down a freestyle rap session in downtown Memphis. When a concert attendee started to film the police, an officer took his phone, and threw him in a squad car. Everyone has the right to videotape police activity.

    This article is important because the reason the police didn't want to be filmed probably had something to do with racial profiling.
  • Graham W on 25 Feb 14
     
    It tells that they are hiding but also what are they hiding from.
  • Jimmy T. on 25 Feb 14
     
    This page is one-sided. It doesn't look at the perspective of the police. Maybe there were noise complaints, so the police had to put an end to it. That doesn't mean it isn't happening though.

    Dr. Boyce is a christian who believes that racism is caused because we are all born sinful. He says that racism will be annihilated whe the lord Jesus comes.

    I think there is still more to racism than this.
  • Sam B on 12 Feb 14
     
    A little more information in your description please.
  • Jack F on 12 Feb 14
     
    There needs to be more tags about this topic. There is no ladder of feedback. There is more detail needed in your summary.
  • Ben S on 12 Feb 14
     
    This is old racism.
  • Samuel K on 12 Feb 14
     
    I think that you should add a little more tags that are related in the topic. I think that you could add a little more description in the text.

    I like that you found something recent.

    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.

    If you look closely, you won't see anybody but black people. They refuse to allow anybody but their own race in the Frat house. They need to have a mixed culture, so segregation wont start up again.
