"Race was never just a matter of how you look. It's about how people assign meaning to how you look." That golden line meant something to me because I never thought about like that until the historian said that. The historian gave me a new understanding.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't know exactly what was said but I know that the video talked about how thee poor white would associate themselves with the rich whites making it seem they were the same because the black were "Inferior" to the white race in general.

"He has said in the Declaration of Independence that we are all created equal. Well, if in fact we're all created equal and if in fact we're entitled to our liberty, then how can he possibly own 175 slaves and going up to about 225 slaves at the peak of his slave-holding?"
This line meant to me that Thomas Jefferson led or made the idea possible of racial discrimination and a sort of bias against African people of descent

# data[].attributes.body
"Race was never just a matter of how you look. It's about how people assign meaning to how you look." This Golden Line meant something to me because its true. Race really isnt about how you look but its how people view you on how you act and they associate you with particular groups based on stereotypes that people have created in society.

# data[].attributes.body
“We don't realize that race is an idea that evolves over time, that it has a history, that it is constructed by a society to further certain political and economic goals.” This line meant something to me because this goes to show how race is just something to push certain people back from the finish line.

"Those who were crossing the mountains and who were in direct contact with Native Americans didn't think of the Indians in an enlightened View. they thought of Indians as Savages." what I took away from that line specifically was the fact that Europeans thought they we're so civilized by their practices.

# data[].attributes.body
I remember something about how white people would say "all men are created equal" but saw black people as less than man(man being man-kind) so it was kind of a loophole to give black people the short end of the stick in another way.

# data[].attributes.body
"Many of the European-descended poor whites began to identify themselves if not directly with the rich whites, certainly with being white. And here you get the emergence of this idea of a white race as a way to distinguish themselves from those dark-skinned people who they associate with perpetual slavery." This shows how poor whites found a way to be okay with slavery, even if they didn't get anything out of it. This quote also shows the cruelty from white people and how they are so selfish that they don't feel any guilt of African Americans being enslaved.

# data[].attributes.body
"There's a racial divide emerging that people begin to see as natural. And that's part of where the idea of race comes from is just in the tendency for people to see existing power relationships as having some sort of natural quality to them." This line meant something to me because it shows how people actually thought African American people were a different type of person and people began to see it as normal. Which shows how racially corrupt this country is back then and till this day.

# data[].attributes.body
I remember the video had said that Thomas Jefferson said blacks were inferior to whites. This made me feel disconcerted because someone thinks they are superior just because their skin color is lighter. I think they look at black people as a threat and are jealous of them.

# data[].attributes.body
"Race was never just a matter of how you look. It's about how people assign meaning to how you look." This line was raw and it made so much sense. It was saying that race is who society thinks you are, simply based of how you look. This goes back to the idea that race allows for stereotypes to thrive, because if society is the determining factor of who you are because of how you look then they will also create characteristics to go along with it.

# data[].attributes.body
"We accept the notion that all men are created equal, but then perhaps some of those people who are enslaved are not quite men."
Whites tried to make loop holes to try and erase African Americans out of society. Since whites and black were visibly different, it made it easier for whites to dehumanize and degrade them.

# data[].attributes.body
I remember that porr white people would be identified with rich white people which would give them power.

# data[].attributes.body
"Race was never just a matter of how you look. It's about how people assign meaning to how you look.

We have the idea that it's somewhere written in stone that there are these fundamental differences between human beings." It talks about how race isn't real its something that people make up.

# data[].attributes.body
¨..And in effect, he [Thomas Jefferson] has to do so. He has said in the Declaration of Independence that we are all created equal.¨ this line was important to me because it shows how he contradicts himself by saying that all men are equal but then turns around and allows racism to spread and hit a peak of his owned slaves.

# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning of the video the man said, ""Race was never just a matter of how you look. It's about how people assign meaning to how you look." It shows how people don't only see your color when they look at you, they see the past, the present, and the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I wasn't here yesterday but I seen the line talking about African-Americans and slavery go hand and hand. That sentence didn't sit well with me and I don't agree with it at all.

# data[].attributes.body
"Race was never just a matter of how you look. It's about how people assign meaning to how you look." It's saying how race is how everyone sees you.

# data[].attributes.body
Then you where determined by your wealth and status in life race was not something to be looked at because black people where the bottom so they where not thought as people.

# data[].attributes.body
in the video it was like black people were more likely distinguished as christians and heathen and that made me feel disconcerted because there is always a sterotype when being this race.

# data[].attributes.body
"Race was never just a matter of how you look. It's about how people assign meaning to how you look." This golden line is proof that race is just a social concept. The reason why this is important to me because in today's society you are still classified as Rich or poor, White or Black, and so many more.

# data[].attributes.body
"There's a racial divide emerging that people begin to see as natural. And that's part of where the idea of race comes from is just in the tendency for people to see existing power relationships as having some sort of natural quality to them." this meant something to me because its basically say how people think racial divide its ok to happen that its natural to see and its not and that really ties into race it's self as a whole.

"The ordinary white people are not going to be complicit in the system unless they get something out of it. My belief is that payoff was in a certain status, prestige, recognition, ego enhancement that ordinary white people could derive from racism. And so there was a kind of bargain struck."
This quote reflects upon how white people take racism to their advantage.

# data[].attributes.body
"race was never just a matter of how you look.its about how people assign meaning to how you look"this golden lie means a lot to me because

# data[].attributes.body
"We don't realize that race is an idea that evolves over time, that it has a history, that it is constructed by a society to further certain political and economic goals." I think its something little to keep in mind when trying to understand it.

# data[].attributes.body
"In 1619, when the first Africans arrived in Virginia, religion and wealth, not physical appearance, defined status. Blackness and whiteness were not yet clear categories of identity." This line brings us to sort of a prequel to how race became and conquered. It shows how race wasn't always a factor into how society viewed citizens but how wealth determined the way society seen people. Also religion played an important part as to how people were viewed by others and society.

# data[].attributes.body
my golden line is "if thats what the scientsit will ask , that is what the scientist will figure out". That is my golden line because as Thomas was saying that black people were inferior there was no actual science behind it. Meaning they were just trying to actually justify their racism abd change it into a matter of science.

"all created equal. Well, if in fact we're all created equal and if in fact we're entitled to our liberty, then how can he possibly own 175 slaves and going up to about 225 slaves at the peak of his slave-holding?" This is my golden line because I believe when the declaration of independence was written they did not even consider black people men. And the mine set back then still effects American to this day.

# data[].attributes.body
The golden line that I chose was ¨He has said in the Declaration of Independence that we are all created equal. Well, if in fact we're all created equal and if in fact we're entitled to our liberty, then how can he possibly own 175 slaves and going up to about 225 slaves at the peak of his slave-holding?¨ I chose this as my golden line because this always confused me when I learned about the Declaration of Independence. How can you claim that all men are created equal but you have slaves an you treat them as less than a person. They did not even treat slaves as humans.

# data[].attributes.body
"Race was never just a matter of how you look. It's about how people assign meaning to how you look."
I chose this because it shows how race in itself really doesn't matter in the long run but rather people's perception of your race

# data[].attributes.body
“Race was never just a matter of how you look. It’s about how people assign meaning to how you look.” Race is more than just how you look at someone.

# data[].attributes.body
"Race was never just a matter of how you look. It's about how people assign meaning to how you look." This

# data[].attributes.body
"We have the idea that it's somewhere written in stone that there are these fundamental differences between human beings." People are still treated completely differently because of their race.

"All men are created equal. All men are created equal. It's the lofty and revolutionary ideal at America's core. Yet, it was written at a time when some inhabitants were held in bondage and others were being dispossessed of their lands" These are my golden line because of who strong the author started by striking at Thomas Jefferson with with his own words.

# data[].attributes.body
My golden line would be "Race was never just a matter of how you look.Its about how people assign meaning to how you look...".Race is how society wants to see us, how they want the world to see us.Race is something the white Americans made up.

# data[].attributes.body
"Slavery became identified with Africans. Blackness and slavery went together. They gave the white American the idea that Africans were a different kind of people." This was my golden line because it's always been shocking and beyond my comprehension how based on something as simple as the color of your skin could make you inferior or less than someone else. People with darker skin not even being seen as different kind of people when all of us are born on the same earth in the same way. It's always been idiotic to me to think you are better because of the color you are.

# data[].attributes.body
“Race was never just an matter on how you look. It’s about how people assign meaning to how you look.” That line gave me a real meaning to race because race is typically made up so to systematic racism or prejudice. We all are one race ,that is the human race!! But before race was determined they determined us by wealth and religion, and since blacks had neither , at the time they were considered nothing and less than human with nothing but free labor.

Created over four centuries, race has become a powerful and enduring narrative. Moments in America's past reveal how this idea took hold and became the lens through which we view our world.
i find this the golden line cause i just look at so many people who use race so much and i just sit there letting them think that race is a real thing

# data[].attributes.body
"Created over four centuries, race has become a powerful and enduring narrative". This stood out to me because we live in a diverse but racially divided world so this is true.

# data[].attributes.body
"The problem that they had to figure out is how can we promote liberty, freedom, democracy on the one hand and a system of slavery and exploitation of peoples who are nonwhite on the other?"

This line tells me that Jefferson was saying how all men were created equal but he still wanted/allowed slavery to happen to those of color because his pride couldn't let him get over the fact that he was wrong

# data[].attributes.body
"Many of the European-descended poor whites began to identify themselves if not directly with the rich whites, certainly with being white. And here you get the emergence of this idea of a white race as a way to distinguish themselves from those dark-skinned people who they associate with perpetual slavery.", This is one of the only things that stood out to me in the video, honestly. It's so simply put, and it reveals the true nature of racism in such an eloquent manner.

# data[].attributes.body
"There's a racial divide emerging that people begin to see as natural. And that's part of where the idea of race comes from is just in the tendency for people to see existing power relationships as having some sort of natural quality to them."
This was the 'golden line' to me because there's such heavy content in the discussion of race. Is it truly just the color of your skin, or are there more differences between us biologically? What are the differences between people socially and economically and how did these differences come to be? These cultural differences, they divide some of us and bring some of us together. How does race affect our relationships positively and negatively?

# data[].attributes.body
"Well, if in fact we're all created equal and if in fact we're entitled to our liberty, then how can he possibly own 175 slaves and going up to about 225 slaves at the peak of his slave-holding?" This is my golden line because how could he say that we are all equal but have slaves and treat blacks differently.

# data[].attributes.body
"There's a racial divide emerging that people begin to see as natural. And that's part of where the idea of race comes from is just in the tendency for people to see existing power relationships as having some sort of natural quality to them." Race was never really a thing until people wanted to use it to create some type of power system to separate people by skin color to make an illusion that one group of people were higher than the other because of the color of their skin.

"All men are created equal. All men are created equal. It's the lofty and revolutionary ideal at America's core. Yet, it was written at a time when some inhabitants were held in bondage and others were being dispossessed of their lands." This line stood out to me because when they say "all men are created equal" are for all men except black men. they were seen/ treated lesser than the average person

# data[].attributes.body
All men are created equal. All men are created equal. It's the lofty and revolutionary ideal at America's core. Yet, it was written at a time when some inhabitants were held in bondage and others were being dispossessed of their lands.

My golden line would be, "And for the first time, the word white rather than Christian or Englishman began appearing in colonial statutes". That line stood out to me because i find it crazy how i consider myself a christian now, but back then it was technically a race.

# data[].attributes.body
My golden line is "All men are created equal." Stood out to me because that's very untrue. White people are the only people that have equal rights and they show that all the time. Black people will mostly likely never reach equal rights.

# data[].attributes.body
My golden line is "All men are created equal. All men are created equal. It's the lofty and revolutionary ideal at America's core." This stood out to me considering that it is not true. I do not believe any people are above anyone else or anything like that, but everyone is not made the same.  In the eyes of people during times of slavery and decades following black people were considered 3/5 of a person.

# data[].attributes.body
my golden line would be "all men are created equal" That stood out because that is not very true white men would be treated better then black man majority of the time.

# data[].attributes.body
My golden line is “Race was never just a matter of how you look. It's about how people assign meaning to how you look.” This is because it’s the truth. It is so much more then race.

"Many of the European-descended poor whites began to identify themselves if not directly with the rich whites, certainly with being white. And here you get the emergence of this idea of a white race as a way to distinguish themselves from those dark-skinned people who they associate with perpetual slavery." This shows how poor whites found a way to be okay with slavery, even if they didn't get anything out of it. This quote also shows the cruelty from white people and how they are so selfish that they don't feel any guilt of African Americans being enslaved.

# data[].attributes.body
"All men are created equal" that my golden line because when we saw that we thought it meant equality for everyone but in reality it was only for rich white men. We've been lied to again and again throughout history. When will it stop?

# data[].attributes.body
"All men are created equal. All men are created equal. It's the lofty and revolutionary ideal at America's core. Yet, it was written at a time when some inhabitants were held in bondage and others were being dispossessed of their lands. How did American society justify unequal treatment based on skin color and national origins? How did it reconcile that contradiction? America created a story–a story of race." What this means to me is that we were all created to be the same but america has turned from that and chose who should and should'nt be equal.

I was offered a

new perspective by the historian.

¨It is possible to make the argument that Thomas Jefferson is the first person to truly articulate a theory of race in the United States.¨ This is my golden line because race was made by a slave owner and I value race a lot so I have to turn it around so that its different today then what is was when he made it.

# data[].attributes.body
My golden line would be "Race was never just a matter of how you look.Its about how people assign meaning to how you look...". It stood out because

My golden line was "Race was never simply an issue of what you look like. It's about how individuals allocate importance to what you Look".I like picked this as a golden line since it mentions how race is about how others relegate.

of how you looked, my gold line.

It's how people mean what you

My golden line is "Created over four centuries, race has become a powerful and enduring narrative. Moments in America's past reveal how this idea took hold and became the lens through which we view our world." In today's society race is one of the keys to setting out how we see and treat one another.

"Blackness and slavery went together. They gave the white American the idea that Africans were a different kind of people." This was my golden line because it's shocking and beyond my comprehension how just based on something as simple as the color of your skin could make you inferior or less than someone else. How something such as your skin color can be put together as if they go hand in hand with slavery.

Race is something that evolves over the years and it really isn't about how it look but we live in a diverse racially divided world which is why it is crazy because it shouldn't be like that.
