Interesting article about Disney with racism and sexism.

Nice sources in this article and interesting analysis.

This is a short article that's interesting because it shows how people's opinions differ on the idea of racism. There are many people that believe racism doesn't exist while others believe that it is still a big deal.

What world is Ann Coulter living in to say "real" racism doesn't exist any more?

This article was written by Ann Coulter who is a conservative legal correspondent for Human Events and she writes a popular syndicated column for the Universal Press Syndicate. This article contains heavy bias on the idea of racism.

Wow! This is a great article that shows how things can really be taken out of context and what happens when diversity training is misunderstood and done poorly. Yuo can see why there can be a huge backlash against it. I love this article for seeing a different perspective on it. Would like to see more like this so we can have a discussion on it.

On 31 May, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a 13-year-old boy named Darius Simmons was allegedly shot to death by 75-year-old John Henry Spooner, right in front of the boy's mother, Patricia Larry. Spooner had confronted Darius as he was taking out the trash and accused the kid of stealing from his home.

Too many shootings of young black men in Milwaukee. Can anyone look up the police record?

This is a really good article and a good example of what Walter Mosley was talking about in his article about how the media picks and chooses news stories to become National news. How come I didn't hear about this story, but I heard about the Trayvon Martin story. They happened only a week apart. This story only reinforces what Mosley was saying in his article "Walter Mosley on Trayvon Martin Case and Racial Identity."

This goes well with the Harvard IAT in seeing how early children are exposed to racist images. Remember, even though some of these videos are old, they get re-released in seven-year cycles.

i have seen many videos like this, and think it is interesting how when we are kids we enjoy these movies so much when they are really giving us the wrong message. it makes me wonder if watching these disney movies as a kid affected how we view people as we got older.

What an interesting video! Never realized any of these until now. It definitely is apparent in many movies even today although it is getting better.

Two Jewish organizations are calling on Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to stop what they say are anti-Semitic attacks by his government's media

It is smart for us to realize that racism is everywhere--not something that is seen it the US alone. We seem more sensitve to it becasue our values (All men are created equal, equal opportuint, the American Dream etc) tell us that there shouldn't be inequality here.

Wow, this is so sad. I don't get how people can do this.

We see too many stories like this. The Castle Doctrine is an interesting allowance to have in Wisconsin. We are one of the last states to adopt this, but it has been in most states for a very long time.

I liked this article because it shows what people would do in a situation where someone is being discriminated against. It's terrible that some people sided with the person who was discriminating, but it's also encouraging that more people stood up for the people being discriminated against.

An article from 2009 where a black man was shot and killed by two white officers.

A white male and female are attacked by a group of black men. I find the actions surrounding this interesting. One of them is how the newspaper employer of the two attacked didn't publish the story till 2 weeks later.

I am interested in this story as well. The definition of a "Hate Crime" is hotly debated. I was origionally invented to protect minorities who were persecuted, so the idea that the majority (white people) could be vitctim to it does not necessarily fall withing its boundaries. O'Reilley does some interesting things rhetorically here. He makes a lot of assumptions and inferences but does not provide facts. He assumes he is talking to an audience who agrees with him. He implies people of color get special treatment and white people are victims of this under the guise of saying everyone should get equal treatment. He fails to note that people of color do not receive equal treatment under the law. This is a crucial difference between positions on the political spectrum. I think what is most appealing about O'Reilley's rhetoric is that he says he just wants justice for everyone. A great article to talk about!! Thanks for the post Katelynn.

I thought this was kind of funny and shows the political correctness extremes in America.

To me this shows that the equity training was not done correctly and perhaps the "Corageous Conversations Program" needs some more work.

I thought this was an informative article because it tells people that even today there is still segregation going on. I thought it wasn't fair at all that Sun Village has never been treated equally with Littlerock because of racial differences between the two villages.
