    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.
  • Caleb B on 25 Feb 14
     
    I agree with Jack and it is a really good site
  • Seth R on 25 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Henry B on 25 Feb 14
     
    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?
  • Sam B on 25 Feb 14
     
    This points out how through our media and theater showings can greatly influence how people think.
  • Blake S on 25 Feb 14
     
    This is a great site and brings us good information.

    This topic is not from our part of the country.
  • Jimmy T. on 25 Feb 14
     
    I think this is a strong possibility of how people become racist.
  • Samuel K on 26 Feb 14
     
    I like that you thought about movies, but I think that you might could find something that is more in our area.
  • Robert D on 26 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • SeanMarc T on 26 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Ben S on 27 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Hewes S on 27 Feb 14
     
    I agree with Robert. Some films do not mean to be racist it just comes out that way.
  • Jerry P on 27 Feb 14
     
    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.

  • 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
  • Devin M on 19 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Griffin R on 20 Feb 14
     
    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.

    This is one of the many cases found in our culture where there have been racial decimation. I believe that this is not the only case that could be found. There are many more.
  • Jack F on 12 Feb 14
     
    There is good detail on your summary, but there are no questions in you ladder of feedback.
  • Hewes S on 19 Feb 14
     
    I think there is potential in this article and that. Most of the article is true and has good meaning to it.
  • Robert D on 19 Feb 14
     
    This article is great, because it gives us a clear description of what is going on in our community that is a violation of what we are trying to resolve.
  • Jim K on 19 Feb 14
     
    I do agree with you Robert. Because of certain events where black people have been proven guilty, it seems like people always seem to blame the black people for everything. Two words for you: Racial Profiling.
  • Henry B on 19 Feb 14
     
    You should clarify what DOJ means. I see this article going far as long as some more detail is added. Maybe some more background. Did you mean to add some more detail? I suggest to make it a little more clear and then you will be fine.
  • Seth R on 19 Feb 14
     
    This is a somewhat bias article. It leans more toward the African-American side. One lady claimed that the race doesn't matter. Every situation is different, so there really isn't a real way to write down something and say it's true. I like how this is up-to-date and in our community. I suggest that you find a different article that has a two-sided opinion, or another article that back up the other side of this complication.
  • Graham W on 19 Feb 14
     
    This article gives great detail about what the real issue was, but it kind of got off track a little bit about what it is supposed to be like. Other than that this article explains a great deal of racial discrimination in Shelby County jail and prison systems.
  • Jerry P on 19 Feb 14
     
    This article gives very in-depth detail into how whites are treated better than blacks, but why does it use a lot of information from a couple years ago like 2009. Overall, it is a good article that has plenty of meaning to it.
  • Blake S on 19 Feb 14
     
    I feel like it is a good paragraph, the information was good and it was mostly up to date. This could lead us into bigger topics around not just our community, but around the nation.
  • Sam B on 19 Feb 14
     
    Nice job finding this article. It informs well how we have a unjust system in our court and encourages us to try to give every race a fair trial.
  • Jack F on 19 Feb 14
     
    I think this link is full of useful information. It tells a lot about how black people are persecuted in court.
  • Samuel K on 19 Feb 14
     
    I value that you choose this article because it is a great example of racism in Memphis, and I think that we can elaborate on this in our class discussion and it will cause more questions and make us think. Maybe you could clarify what the DOJ means.
  • Devin M on 19 Feb 14
     
    Since a lot of the judicial system is African-American why don't they help the kids? This is important because it shows that racism in the judicial system is still unfair towards African-American kids.I don't get why the African-American judges socially profile people.
  • Griffin R on 19 Feb 14
     
    This sounds like a good start to our research, most of the info is up to date and has great detail.
  • Ben S on 19 Feb 14
     
    This article is great in showing the racism in Memphis and is a great article our group can collaborate on.
  • Jimmy T. on 19 Feb 14
     
    I think this article might be biased or made up. These days, people are so untrusting of the government that they'll make up anything to make it look bad. With this, it is entirely possible that it is made up. However, it is still possible that this is all true.

    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.
  • Samuel K on 12 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Hewes S on 19 Feb 14
     
    I think that this will help our project because I might lead us to something different.
  • Blake S on 19 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Jack F on 19 Feb 14
     
    I personally think that this is full of information that is good, but is more of an opinion.
  • Sam B on 19 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Henry B on 19 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Seth R on 19 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Jim K on 19 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Robert D on 19 Feb 14
     
    Is this link valuable? Sure it compares Lincoln to king and king to Obama, but that is not affecting our community.
  • Jerry P on 19 Feb 14
     
    I like how it asks questions and then answers them in detail. I also like how it compares old racism to new racism.
  • Ben S on 19 Feb 14
     
    This article is great talking about how the "I have a Dream" speech has brote this country together.
  • Devin M on 19 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Jimmy T. on 19 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Sam B on 19 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Graham W on 19 Feb 14
     
    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."

  • Sam B on 20 Feb 14
     
    This is a very though case. Until we see some more facts, it cannot be clearly determined if this was an act of racial discrimination.
  • Robert D on 20 Feb 14
     
    This is am one growing problem with discrimination of blacks. This is key because people still blame African Americans, weather this was true or the teacher did it. There is an unfair trails with blacks.
  • Jack F on 20 Feb 14
     
    Yes, I mean he could have been lying but there is definitely a lot of racial discrimination that the lady had only blamed the 63 year old black custodian worker.
  • Jimmy T. on 20 Feb 14
     
    I think that this case definitely has some racial discrimination involved. However, I don't think if you looked at the security tapes you could pin the custodian. He has to go into every room to clean it.
  • Jerry P on 20 Feb 14
     
    This is definitely racial discrimination. A white teacher claims to "lose" her phone so she blames a black worker. Also, the only people questioned were black. There is definitely racial discrimination at that school.
  • Henry B on 20 Feb 14
     
    I like how you knew what the real problem was and you were very clear about it too. Was that the comment or the description though?
  • William S on 21 Feb 14
     
    This is a good example of racial sterotypes. I thought this problem was only with police, but I guess it has spead to every one. Are there any other records of this like this happening?
  • SeanMarc T on 21 Feb 14
     
    This can show how people are quick to judge someone just by their color. This also can lead us to employees being wrongly accused of something they didn't do just because of their skin color.
  • Ben S on 21 Feb 14
     
    This article talkes about the racial discrimination in our community. Although, it didn't have enough information/evidence. Because of this we need further evidence but I think this will help us in our process of racial discrimination in our community.
  • Seth R on 21 Feb 14
     
    I agree with Sam. There really isn't enough facts or proof to really call it racial discrimination. I'm sure the teacher though that he stole it because he has access to any room when he wants to go in.
  • Hewes S on 21 Feb 14
     
    Is this really going to take us into further detail about our project and if how can we pursue?

    "A statue honoring James Meredith stands at the heart of the University of Mississippi's campus, not far from the the Grove and a short walk from the football stadium. Meredith enrolled in classes on Oct. 1, 1962, integrating the school known as Ole Miss, but was only able to do so after deadly riots erupted in Oxford, Miss. The statue of Meredith, unveiled in October 2006, depicts him entering the campus. This week, university police found a rope noose tied around the neck of the statue as well as a Georgia flag from before 2003 (the year that state adopted a flag without a Confederate battle sign)."

    I don't understand why people point this out. When people point out an African-American accomplishing some feat, that means people are kind of surprised about it. African-Americans should be treated the way whites are treated.
