    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.

    Wells Fargo needs to send bills to every type of person at a time.
  • Jack F on 12 Feb 14
     
    There is no ladder of feedback. Need to add the tag Martin Luther King Jr.
  • Griffin R on 19 Feb 14
     
    Can you go deeper into the topic, this way you can understand the topic better.
  • Jack F on 20 Feb 14
     
    The black homeowners have definitely gotten the short end of the stick with how they are being treated by Wells Fargo.
  • Jimmy T. on 20 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Jerry P on 20 Feb 14
     
    I agree that it sounds like Wells Fargo is definitely just trying to make blacks and Latinos lose their homes. That's just unfair.
  • Henry B on 20 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • SeanMarc T on 21 Feb 14
     
    The article is a great example of racial discrimination and this could lead us to more companies that discriminate African-American citizens.
  • William S on 21 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Ben S on 21 Feb 14
     
    This needs to be more clear, you need more facts. This could be a good article for our group though.
  • Seth R on 21 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Hewes S on 21 Feb 14
     
    I agree with Griffin I think that it would be better if you went into further deatails.
  • Jim K on 21 Feb 14
     
    Maybe your description could be longer.
  • Sam B on 24 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Jim K on 25 Feb 14
     
    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.
  • Jimmy T. on 25 Feb 14
     
    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.

    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.
  • Griffin R on 25 Feb 14
     
    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.

racial discrimination martin luther king assassination

    Martin Luther King was in Memphis, when he was assassinated. The racial discrimination in the city killed Martin Luther King. The whites didn't like him and beat him and arrested him and tortured him. When he was at this motel, he was killed due to the racial discrimination in Memphis.

    I thought this was interesting because it shows the racism in Memphis. This problem can get bigger and bigger if it is allowed. This crime was done because Martin Luther King was black. This is a big part in racial discrimination.
  • Sam B on 12 Feb 14
     
    "and beat him and arrested him and tortured him" is a run-on sentence. The crime was not done just because he was black. The attack was done because he was supporting blacks. Also you need to list this under history.
  • Hewes S on 19 Feb 14
     
    I think this is to long ago and it won't really give lots of information about today society.
  • Blake S on 19 Feb 14
     
    I argue with Hewes because it was formal and gave recent information ABOUT THIS TOPIC.
  • Sam B on 19 Feb 14
     
    Although this article gives specific information about Memphis' history, the information is not recent nor important for today's situation.
  • Griffin R on 19 Feb 14
     
    I agree with Hewes, It was a long time ago. You need to find a website with recent info.
  • Jim K on 19 Feb 14
     
    Memphis is a big city for civil rights in America, but I think you could find something that relates to today, and effects our society.
  • Robert D on 19 Feb 14
     
    Are there any facts backing theses conspires, and what causes them to be so compelling?
  • Caleb B on 19 Feb 14
     
    This is not important because it is to old for our question.
  • Jack F on 19 Feb 14
     
    While this does go over the racial discrimination I think this more one sided and is only about Dr. Martian Luther King.
  • Seth R on 19 Feb 14
     
    How does this relate to us reducing racism in our community ? I like how you used facts to back up the problem. I don't think that this doesn't really relate to us reducing racism. I suggest that you find an article that does realet to our issue.
  • Samuel K on 19 Feb 14
     
    This is a good topic and I think that it will help in our group discussion, but I think that you need something more recent.
  • Devin M on 19 Feb 14
     
    Why is this important today if it happened in 1968?I like the historical reference.I'm concerned with it's outdated info. I suggest you find something more current.
  • Ben S on 19 Feb 14
     
    Although this happened many years ago, I think this article can help us in this proses of how we can reduce racism in our community.
  • Sam B on 19 Feb 14
     
    This may be a little one-sided. The passage talks about the outrage and distress after King's death, but not the feelings of racist people in the country.
  • Jimmy T. on 19 Feb 14
     
    I do not think this is biased. However, I would question whether or not it is relevant to what we are studying. Your question was, "Where/how do we address the problem and change things?". The upcoming days of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination aren't relevant to that question.

    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.

    This article is about a 11 year old "Mexican" boy who sings the national anthem and most of the Americans were complaining why they let a Mexican sing their countries anthem.

    This will help us elaborate on racial discrimination.
  • Jack F on 25 Feb 14
     
    I do not know what is all of the craziness about a Mexican boy singing the national anthem.
  • Caleb B on 25 Feb 14
     
    I dont see how it is wrong for an Mexican kid to sing and american anthem.
  • Henry B on 25 Feb 14
     
    I like how you are bringing up something new on Mexicans instead of just Asians. I am confused if this is all to the story. There are lots of people that may not be American that do these kinds of things. What is the big deal about it? Clarify that.
  • Jimmy T. on 25 Feb 14
     
    I don't know why this is such a big deal. A Mexican boy sang the national anthem, so what? This article proves that racism isn't limited to African-Americans.
  • Sam B on 25 Feb 14
     
    This points out how stereotypes can sometimes even be hypocrites. I am glad he refused to be discouraged by these people remembering the critic doesn't count.
  • Blake S on 25 Feb 14
     
    I don't really think that this in our community but that is one opinion and it is sort of one sided.
  • Samuel K on 25 Feb 14
     
    I think that this article is good because it shows how people are racist to others and not just black people.
  • Robert D on 26 Feb 14
     
    This is a problem, but it seems that that this was solved and the people who did it are now coming to there sences. I think this was a one time deal.
  • SeanMarc T on 26 Feb 14
     
    I don't see why people are complaining about a Mexican boy singing the national anthem we African-Americans sing it as well and people don't complain. That's discriminating only to Mexicans.
  • SeanMarc T on 26 Feb 14
     
    When I said we I meant when.
  • Griffin R on 26 Feb 14
     
    This is a great topic about racial discrimination, but it needs to be in our area .
  • Hewes S on 27 Feb 14
     
    This shows that stereotypes aren't always what you think they are.
  • Jerry P on 27 Feb 14
     
    This is a good article that shows us all the stereotypes there are. The boy was an American citizen so he should be able to sing the national anthem like other American citizens.
