diversity ethnicity race solutions

shared by jklipton on 23 Sep 07 - Cached
  • In other words, the less diverse your community, the more likely you are to trust the people in it who are different from you. The flip side is also true: The more ethnically diverse the people you live around, the less you trust them
  • . It turns out that in the most diverse places in the country, Americans tend to distrust everyone, those who do look like them and those who don't.
  • it does suggest that simply celebrating it and promoting it is not going to help us get along.

    This article reveals the negative consequences of diversity. Areas that are more diverse tend to distruss other races more than the areas that are less diverse. Furthermore, areas with numerous different races tend to distruss everybody including there own race. Thus, celebrating diversity only increases segregation and helps widen racial gaps.

      this video shows the black perspective of the black innercity. It almost gives their perspective to why they commit certain crimes or their mentality when doing certain things.

6 american disturbing group hate jena national party socialist workers

    I gathered from google search that this is a website for the American National Socialist Workers Party.
    Soon after news of the Jena 6 broke they had numerous racist and grotesque articles in support of the action and charges the youths face. The later went on to talk about hatred toward Jews, "kidnap famous Jews".
    Just another reminder that racism and racial conflict is very much alive and organized, even if it doesn't rare its ugly head frequently.
    The site is currently "down" and as such their ellaborative website has been degraded to predominantly a body of text.

    lol yea mojiti is kind of difficult to use. I like the selection. It raises several questions about race. The biggest thing for me was trying o decipher the different messges the group was trying to send. Should people feel bad for the individuals in situations similar to the girl in the video? Is her socioeconomic status being presented as a hindrance or a crutch? As te song progresses, the emphasis shifts towards the latter.

    This is a really good video full of racial stereotypes, mainly negative ones about Blacks. I like how the song presents the problem/situation, provides possible ways to improve the situation, and makes it a little more hopeful. You might also want to consider how the attire, attitude, and location of the singers contribute to the message being sent. Are they examples of people who have successfully escaped that lifestyle? Are they examples of how other people can help those in this type of horrible situation? Good job though!

    Good start. Now push this further. What's its tone? What about setting? What about "amateur" style production? What song does it parody. Keep going deeper with your reading.

      Here is a video that talks about racism for the jewish people. some interesting lyrics are: "We've been traveling from state to state... ...3,000 years with no place to be And they want me to give up my milk and honey Don't you see, it's not about the land or the sea Not the country but the dwelling of his majesty" He is saying that the land is important to the jewish people for more reasons than just the land or the water. "Burn in the oven in this century And the gas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me... ...Erase the demons out of our memory Change your name and your identity Afraid of the truth and our dark history Why is everybody always chasing we Cut off the roots of your family tree Don't you know that's not the way to be" Here he is saying that it takes more to be strong than just erasing the horrible past of the jewish people in israel, and also the present.

    -written by George Greene in response to an article written by Michael Sullivan
    -rebutts Sullivan's article by pretty much telling the situation as it is -- how there still is prejudice in the world and how race is completely tied into it.

    There is so much to work with in this video! I think you really got most of it though. I wonder if you could even work in colorblind theory since this guy is oblivious to what everyone else (particularly minorities) think of him. That would be a rather interesting spin...

    The White guy is on a quest to act like the stereotypical Black male. His clothes and accessories are very stereotypical of Blacks, including bling, baggy clothes, and a backwards hat. He throws up gang signs and has hydraulics on his convertible. The girls in the video are represented in a sexual manner and most are either Black or Latina. Blacks are suggested to be great at break dancing while Whites can't dance. Overall, it is conveyed that Whites are just not as cool as Blacks.

    a lot of michael jackson's videos are pretty racially diverse. but then again, his ethnicity/race is questionable too so i don't know if he counts.

    Danity kane is a group that was PUT TOGETHER and it has a bunch of racially diverse girls. same with the spice girls. i don't think there are many other groups that are diverse if they put themselves together.

The Jena 6: Nooses Hang From The "White Tree" - Pursuing Holiness - 0 views

    This article chronicles the foundation for the Jena 6 case.  It involves the provocation of the black students by white students with the hanging of three nooses under the "White Tree."  This led to violence against blacks by some white students, moving on to retaliation by black students.  After this event, an assembly was called in which black and white students sat on opposing sides of the gym.  The District Attorney turned to the blacks and said "See this pen in my hand?  I can end your lives with the stroke of a pen."  The first to be tried in the case of the Jena 6 is Mychal Bell, who faces 22 years in prison on a 2nd degree battery charge.

  • Sharpton called Jena the beginning of the 21st century civil rights movement.

    This is what stood out to me the most!!! It is unbelievable to think that we may be entering another civil rights movement.
