Warning: Jena 6/racial - Hate group - 0 views

  •  
    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.

Diversity and Racial Conflict - 0 views

    -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.

    I hate mojiti.

    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!

    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.

Diversity may not be the answer - Los Angeles Times - 0 views

  • 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.

      To show just how serious this situation has become, people of all races are becoming involved and angered by this situation.

      Is there a reason these men arent getting in trouble for these 'racial incidents' that they took part in and consequently caused such a national problem?
