Liberty is an ideal that has reappeared several times throughout history. It began with the declaration of independence and has become more of a principle over time.

# data[].attributes.body
The ideal of equality has been challenged as oppression has driven many unfair and biased laws in the US

# data[].attributes.body
Unity among different races in America

# data[].attributes.body
Unification has emerged to combat racism. Having unified communities allowed for organized ideas. A house divided against itself cannot stand. This would have benefited the ideas of racism, as division can be used to create tension. Unification must be cultivated to sow progress

# data[].attributes.body
The American ideal of equality and opportunity has consistently been challenged over time

# data[].attributes.body
Unification between people of different races and communities has become a ideal recently with the different movements for more equal rights.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea of true opportunity has been challenged because this does not mean choosing the path for African Americans but giving them the tools to be whoever they wanted to be.

# data[].attributes.body
hope, opportunity

Equality has reappeared overtime, and while for a very long time, but other ideals have been prioritized in the U.S. above it. However, today, equality has become an ideal of top priority and importance, as shown with the Black Lives Matter Movement of 2020.

# data[].attributes.body
American Ideals such as democracy have reappeared over time in America. America was founded on the idea of democracy and it has helped shape various other ideals such as equality, freedom etc. To me, democracy is the core value of our nation and truly makes America what we know it as today.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't know how to label this, maybe as hope or determination, as you see many blacks using different ways to be heard and fight discrimination

# data[].attributes.body
The ideal of equality has been challenged overtime, as racism has been a major issue for a long time. People want equality, but some want more powers than others.

# data[].attributes.body
Liberty has been repeated many many times, but only in recent times have people mostly have had the same freedoms. Even today not everyone has equality of liberty.

# data[].attributes.body
The ideal that all people are equal has been challenged a lot recently and in the past.

# data[].attributes.body
The ideal of liberty has been challenged over time, even today with Stamped. In the book Reynolds wrote "thieves of liberty" (racists) something that exists even today.

# data[].attributes.body
Protesting for black Americans that have had to fight and protest for basic rights and necessities

# data[].attributes.body
Equality has been a major ideal prominent in America's history because inequality (equality isn't being accomplished) is not just a social/political issue, but an individual issue with implicit bias or conscious racism.

# data[].attributes.body
Opportunity was supported by the Harlem Renaissance. The idea that people had the opportunity  express themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Opportunity has been such a major ideal because it is something that black Americans have been fighting for, for their entire lives. The lack of opportunity has caused it to become a more talked about and wanted ideal.

# data[].attributes.body
The book briefed on the idea of the fact that the founding fathers, and early leaders were not infallible, and had not come up with every scenario. How would they feel about the ideals and situation this country is in right now? But is their opinion even important?

# data[].attributes.body
Opportunity has been a major ideal for Americans because and this opportunity is something that African American people have been fighting for for many years

# data[].attributes.body
The ideal of opportunity has been supported both by HBCUs and the support of the Buffalo Soldiers. For many years these two representations of providing an opportunity for African Americans went unnoticed, but now numerous efforts. have been made to pay respects to these groups.

# data[].attributes.body
The ideal of Democracy has been supported over time by protest. Protest hasn't always been allowed, but it has almost always been effective in bringing change.

# data[].attributes.body
The War on Drugs has challenged the ideal of equality under the law, as it was used to disproportionately incarcerate Black people.

# data[].attributes.body
the idea that hard work can get you anywhere in America has been challenged due to preconceived notions that people have. minority groups need to work harder in order for people to recognize all that they have done.

# data[].attributes.body
Although opportunity is something that has existed for so long as an ideal, it is challenged as well. White people back then did not want to give black Americans different opportunities.

# data[].attributes.body
Things like the Civil Rights Movement and Black Lives Matter movement show how opportunity and equal rights is still not the same both in recent history and today

# data[].attributes.body
The ideal of equality has been supported overtime by antislavery advocates and activists continuously fighting for equality of Black people despite this ideal being challenged constantly by other people and by the government.

# data[].attributes.body
The ideal of equality has been both supported and challenged in American History, more so in the last century. Challenged with Jim Crow Laws, and Separate but equal, yet in truth, there wasn't equality. But equality has been supported by the various movements, efforts to reach equality with the result of improving equality.

# data[].attributes.body
There are so many of America's past leaders who were racist, and so many works of art or literature that were racist. I just have to question what do we see today that is fooling us and has racist intents?

# data[].attributes.body
The way I see it, opportunity is an American ideal that has been supported over time in America. Although this opportunity has not been equal for Americans of different race and skin color, there have been opportunity for them. For example, although African Americans have not been treated equally or given as much opportunity, things such as HBCU'S and the 25th Infantry have given African Americans a sense of community, belongingness and opportunity itself during some of America's most racist eras.

# data[].attributes.body
Although it has existed before with the American Ideal, I believe opportunity is an ideal that has emerged, especially with creating equal opportunity. One major step for opportunity was Black Colleges, places that not only created a safe haven for people but gave everyone the chance at an education.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea of voice and representation for all people has emerged because in the past, representation only applied to White males but today, a wide variety of races and genders are represented in government.

# data[].attributes.body
I think all of them have been challenged with the false belief that they are truly achieved. For example Separate but Equal, many people thought equality was achieved in a way happy for everyone (only most white people who wanted segregation), but the perfect, true, intended equality was never achieved.

# data[].attributes.body
Americans have become known as some of the most expressive people, who demand their rights to be fulfilled. Whether it's some debating their right to own guns by the second amendment, or people rallying for true equality.

# data[].attributes.body
The ideal of truth has been challenged by biased media and fake news. Earlier in history, this "fake news" came in the form of racist texts and films that furthered a racist narrative

# data[].attributes.body
We see many words containing the word "black" reappearing in our every day language. These words, though not inherently racist are creating a negative connotation with the word black and Reynold's suggests using the words less could make a difference in how people view African Americans as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
It was said that racism is spread all throughout social media, but I want to know why the media isn't censoring racism well enough?

# data[].attributes.body
Lack of black representation/poc representation in media. the representation has grown over time but it's not equal at all.

# data[].attributes.body
How can the media both sometimes spotlight racism and also hide it?

# data[].attributes.body
How can we hold ourselves responsible for doing small racist things like using words like "blackmail" and "blacklist" and change our thinking?

# data[].attributes.body
The Ideal of Equality has been challenged again and again in american history. Slavery first, challenged our ideal, then jim crow laws along, women's rights, and then closer to the modern day LGBTQ rights.

# data[].attributes.body
I think unity has emerged differently than expected. Unity has emerged throughout America separately, not unity of America as a whole. Different groups of people have unified for mutual benefit and beliefs, and this unity has been the center of conflict of many movements and efforts for any change. The violence towards African American groups of people unified them but occurred because of the power of their unity.

# data[].attributes.body
Can social media portray some people as anti-racist when they post, even when they may not be in real life?

# data[].attributes.body
The ability to change and reform is supported. We will often see people unsatisfied with how things are or how they are being treated. This was seen through protest and fighting for equality.

# data[].attributes.body
What makes something racist? Is anything inherently racist or is it something that we create?

# data[].attributes.body
When words such as "blackmail" and "blackout" were first created, were there racist intentions to create negative connotations with black.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel as if an example of a newer American Ideal that has emerged over time is the "American Dream". After reading the book "The Great Gatsby", I realized that the later 1900's in America had revolved around obtaining the American Dream. This dream was achieving happiness and success through working hard. The real question is: how attainable was this American dream for individuals of all skin colors? Although the American dream has dramatically changed over time, it's an ideal that has played a pivotal role in American life.

# data[].attributes.body
If the book is opposed to labels why is it labeling people by racist, assimilationist, and anti-racist? Can't people be in between?

# data[].attributes.body
Unity has emerged as an american ideal. Before and during the civil war, the US was shattered into states. People identified themselves from their states. Today, people tend to identify themselves as american and not from a state.

# data[].attributes.body
Who created these different terms using the prefix black was such a "bad thing"?

# data[].attributes.body
What do people want specifically or want to change when it comes to the American Ideals? How would they want to achieve those changes? Would similar people (race, ethnicity) have similar answers?

# data[].attributes.body
The ideal of government being meant to serve the people against many politicians, such as Lincoln, having the wrong prioritizes and being segregationists or assimilationists rather than antiracists

# data[].attributes.body
The idolization of the Founding Fathers is challenged as throughout the book we see how some of these people were not the perfect idols that history has made them out to be

# data[].attributes.body
The overall idea of certain historical figures living in the time of racism has changed extremely overtime. I think if these individuals were taught about at an older age because as kids, we are unable to comprehend the complexity of their time and how their actions are affected by many outside forces. Now, I am learning about a completely different version of Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson than in elementary school.

# data[].attributes.body
How do we distinguish between antiracist and assimilationists in history when the lines are more fuzzy?

# data[].attributes.body
What does it mean to be an anti-racist in the modern day?

# data[].attributes.body
I realized that someone that we see as an assimilationist today may have been seen as an antiracists during their own time period (ex. Abraham Lincoln)

# data[].attributes.body
I saw a lot of people say unity is something that emerged, and I didn't exactly realize that. Through the oppression of the African American culture, I'm not saying it's good, but it brought people together to defend each other. This was seen by these groups made such as the Black Panther Party.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that overtime, the ideal of change has been put above the ideal of comfort. In the past, White people were not comfortable living among the people that they once enslaved, so there was an extreme lack of equality. However, today, our country realizes more that we need to have tough conversations and there sometimes needs to be a lack of peace in order for change to occur.

# data[].attributes.body
People do need to address this issue but at the same time we need to pin point the issue rather than blaming the nation as a whole. Or pinpoint a certain action rather than say their overall existence was harmful to our nation. (ex. Jefferson)

# data[].attributes.body
When I learned about Abe Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson just a few years ago, why didn't I learn anything about their controversial ways and stances of slavery that I did in the book? Does this say anything about American education and how it approaches American history?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that a new American Ideal is knowing the history of America. This is new, because we had to go through historic events to be able to learn about it. It is now something that is so important, in order to understand where racism came from, and how we can fix many issues that have been embedded into American.

# data[].attributes.body
When it comes to how I thought of myself, my values, my actions when it comes to racism, the conversation of implicit bias changed how I saw myself. I make a conscious effort to not be racist (intentionally or not), but with implicit bias, subconsciously, I may act with racist actions unintentionally. My past experiences, beliefs, and even my perception of society can affect my implicit bias, my subconsciousness, and my mostly antiracist ( I think so) image of myself.

# data[].attributes.body
What can change the thoughts of a person that was brought up and raised to have racist ideals? What can open a person's mind up and allow them to see someone else's perspective?

# data[].attributes.body
An ideal of equity rather than just equality has emerged. Some people think that antiracist ideas elevate black people above white people, but black people have been unequal to white people for so long, and there needs to be programs that give black people have the same opportunity of success, and a larger focus on equality for black people in #BlackLivesMatter allows for equity for black people, not just equality.

# data[].attributes.body
I realized that it's good to have arguments about race today, even if some issues seem resolved.

# data[].attributes.body
I think equality and liberty have been challenged more in terms of the social aspect of racism. In the 20th century, those ideals were challenged more publicly and were more known than arguably the other ideals, when it comes to racism. Then again, there have been racist policies that are just clearly violating those ideals, Anti Drug Abuse Act.

# data[].attributes.body
Opportunity and Equality because African - Americans were finally able to get the same amount of education as white people and although there is still racism, there isn't slavery or segregation.

# data[].attributes.body
The fight for equality has reappeared throughout US history. Equality is one of the core ideals of the US, and when certain groups are not treated with equality, they have protested for this right.

# data[].attributes.body
An American ideal that has reappeared over time is fighting for equality. there have been many different big issues of injustice in U.S. history, for example slavery, womens rights, and racism that has existed for all of it. During each of these instances, people have pushed for equality.

# data[].attributes.body
The ideal of equal opportunity for all has emerged because Americans have begun to notice that black Americans are disadvantaged in our country.

# data[].attributes.body
The ideal of equality has been an ideal that has existed before the founding of the United States because of the events of history and events like the Civil war, and the Civil rights movement. I think that it is one of the most important ideals of America because of its reappearance in history.

# data[].attributes.body
The American Ideal of equality has reappeared over time. In the past, enslaved individuals fought for the right to be free, and to gain equal rights. Today, African- Americans are still fighting for equality with current issues including Black lives being taken in police brutality.

The ideal of equality importance has changed for the greater and reappeared over time

I realized that there isn't just one correct answer to eliminating racism and we must all work together to make America a place where everyone has the same opportunities.

# data[].attributes.body
Equality has been challenged over time. the definition of what equality is has changed over the course of U.S. history. The constitution says equality for all. What qualified as "all" changed over time, during different situations of inequality.

# data[].attributes.body
Opportunity has been reappearing throughout a lot of American History. Since the civil war, there have been many attempts to create opportunities for minorities especially African Americans

# data[].attributes.body
Racism, whether it be explicit in the past such as slavery, or implicit in today's world such as systemic oppression or words like "blackmail" that provide negative connotations to words with Black in them.

Equality has been challenged over time through the idea of everyone actually being included in this, for example slavery did not represent equality.

The idea of equality and equal opportunity for everyone (even when this has been proven to not be true for everyone)

Opportunity is an ideal that has been supported over time. Although some people still have a smaller opportunity to prosper due to the ripple effects of discriminatory legislation, US citizens still have the opportunity to succeed economically.

# data[].attributes.body
The opportunity of equality and the ability to have a voice heard without consequence is an ideal that has been supported throughout history because of how instrumental it was in allowing the Civil Rights movement succeeded.

# data[].attributes.body
Equality has been challenged throughout history because of the idea that it is embedded within the American culture, a shift that is needed in order to reach a sense of full equality

Is a completely anti racist America possible? Do laws have to be put in place to insure antiracism or can people be trusted not to be racist?

# data[].attributes.body
The American Ideal of Opportunity has been supported over time. African- Americans desired the opportunity to have an education since they didn't receive one when they were enslaved. Today, there are HBCUs that provide African- Americans the opportunity to have an education.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the ideals that have reappeared was privilege, many time whites didn't even want black to compare, but by throwing them under the bus. Equality followed by being the opposing view, and then became one of the main ideals.

# data[].attributes.body
A quest to achieve and complete the American ideal and dream of "All men are created equal", where all people of all genders races and creeds receive equal treatment, opportunity, and criticism.

# data[].attributes.body
I realized that it is okay to talk about racism and slavery, no matter how unpleasent it is.

# data[].attributes.body
Is recognizing someone as a specific race technically racist? Should we focus on everyone as a whole or categorizing in a sense? When will we reach a point of equality and what will that look like?

# data[].attributes.body
The rights of the people, everyone in the country supported that in their own way. I say that because the ideals for one person might opposed another person's ideals.

# data[].attributes.body
Equality is something that has been challenged throughout history. Racist legislation such as slavery and redlining have challenged equality.

# data[].attributes.body
Many ideals, such as liberty and opportunity have been supported over time, but only for white males. These ideals have not been supported for Black Americans and we must work towards having all of are ideals apply to all people.

Knowing America's history, which is very important to make sure that history is not repeated

Equality, and how equality is reached, has been an ideal that has been challenged throughout history and is the most important to the fabric of the united states to ensure that the freedom that is guaranteed to each citizen is available.
