Segregationists are people who don't like you because you are different from them.

Assimilationists are people who don't actually like you, they only like your looks, or because you look like them.

Antiracists are people who actually like you, not just because you look like them. You can look like anything and they will like you for you.

People are showing that there are different groups that can disagree with each other. And this also shows how society is formed throughout the world and the present.

Claim:
Race is a belief that we have, mostly profiting off of people of color. Race is important because for all people it can define how they are treated, and everyone is treated differently depending on their race.

Support:
There are many movements right now regarding race, and they are making big impacts on the entire world. This shows how important and significant it is.

Question:
When we will people get over race? When will we realize that it's just a concept?

The Europeans believed that they were "buying a family", and that by buying them, they were helping them because they believed that Africans were cursed. This new form of slavery was different because instead of enslaving just anyone they were just enslaving Africans.

# data[].attributes.body
Europeans believed they were helping Africans by enslaving them. They believed that they were helping them by forcing them out of their savage ways and by forcing them to convert to Christianity. Enslaving Africans was much better than their other form of slavery which was enslaving their own people. They believed that they were superior to Africans because their skin was paler and they had many theories about why the Africans's dark skin made them inferior.

There are many examples of this like in the economy we can see that people that are white get paid more then other people. It's also more likely for a white person to get a job then someone else. There's just more opportunities for white people then others, and that happens because of how this is woven into America.

History isn't just a bunch of dates and times of events that happened in the past, because those series of events have led to and shaped the time we're in and the future. Learning about racism forces us to think about how racism is affecting us around us every day.

# data[].attributes.body
History is much more than a collection of dates and facts because it tells the story of how we came to be here and now. They are not significant only to the past, they are also significant to the present and the future. Learning about racism and the source of racist ideas helps us to identify how racism is influencing actions and events even now.

Historically, Europeans enslaved middle eastern and northern African people, and so people explained that these Africans and middle eastern people might not even be human, and they were just stuff that you could use.

Because we can learn about human behavior and hopefully we can learn from our mistakes, but this doesn't seem to be working fast enough and we have a long way to go to reach the demands of the public at the moment.

You can look back at the history of racism to see how the world of today has changed and if the world of today is more racist or less racist.
-----------------------------------
History isn't just used for knowing facts and stuff. Like I said, it can be used to compare the world of today and the past.

History is very biased. When you read a history book, you are reading history from what they think and remember from what happened. This can definitely be biased, because racism and other forms of bias can cloud people's memory and judgment. When you learn the source of racist ideas, it can help to see past bias, because you know what the person may have been thinking if they were racist, so you might be able to go past that and see the truth.

The concept of race served Prince Henry because he was the one getting the money from the captured Muslims. "In the United States, for example, the term race generally refers to a group of people who have in common some visible physical traits, such as skin colour, hair texture, facial features, and eye formation." -Britannica
In 1415 Prince Henry convinced King John of Portugal to capture the main Muslim trading center/depot because Prince Henry was jealous that the Muslims had the riches.
I wonder what would happen if the same scene were to happen here in San Francisco today. I also wonder if anybody is coming to save the Muslims or what the Muslims are working for while being captured. Or... are they in a jail cell. Some other possibilities I'm thinking of is if they are held for ransom to get more money to add on to the already stolen money.

We can learn from the past because history repeats itself, and it will continue to do that. If we can understand our mistakes, we can change the same things that are happening now, and use the past as a guide. It's important to see what has happened in the past to truly go forward.

Segregationists are people that believe one group of people (in this case, race) is superior to the other.

Assimilationists are people who "like" you because you are like them. They don't like you for who you are, they like you because you're like them.

Antiracists are people who believe that every person on Earth is equal, they truly like people for who they are, no matter the color of their skin.

People demonstrate their imperfections by being multiple of these in a short amount of time, even at the same time, and sometimes people don't fit any of these descriptions.

Segregationists: In the past, segregationists have had the power to back their ideology. Today, Segregationists do not have as much power and most of society is pushing back.

Assimilationists: Throughout history, people have favored others similar to them. One could argue that the same is true today.

Antiracists: In the past, these people have been pushed around. Now, they are gaining larger societal roles.

Segregationists can be just downright haters and overall negative to people that don't look like them. This happens all over the world, now, in years ahead and the past. We can see that people like James Earl Ray just downright hate people who are different.

Antiracists are people who are against racism and we can see people like this in the BLM movement to stop racism.

Assimilationist are people who like you but do it just because they don't want to be judged or disliked. It's hard to see people like this because you can't tell them between antiracists.

Claim.  Make an explanation or interpretation on race / the history of race. What is race? Why is race important? Who did/does the concept of race serve?

Support.  Things/facts you learned about in the reading OR have background knowledge of that support your claim.

Question.  What’s left hanging? What isn’t explained? What are you wondering? What new ideas does your claim raise?

Reynolds has given Gomes Eanes de Zurara the title “World’s First Racist.” In doing so, Reynolds spotlights the power of the written word and how it can be used as a force for evil.

How is history much more than simply a recording of dates and facts that are significant
only to the past? How might learning about the source of racist ideas help you to know the present and yourself?

Discuss each of the three positions: assimilationist, segregationist, antiracist. In what ways do
people, past and present, demonstrate their imperfections by embodying ideas from one or
more of these positions?

Reynolds write about how early Americans laid the groundwork for slavery and racism to be "justified for a long, long time." In what ways is racism woven into the fabric of American institutions? Where do you see evidence of this today?

How did racist ideas seek to justify the new form of slavery? How was this new form of slavery different from prior forms (hint: *who* had Europeans historically enslaved?)
