As a recent article significantly relevant today, it demonstrates how deeply  systematic racism is ingrained in the U.S., which reinforces individual racism by precipitating falsities or prejudices of black people with their high mortality rate of the virus. Although Jim Crow Laws and other types of legal racial segregations terminated after the Civil Rights Movement, the news illuminates how those historical events left dire traces to its African American descendents.

In fact, police brutality and abuse of power is a persisting sequence which continued from the slave patrols of South Carolina in the 1700s. Clearly, systemic racism didn't completely abolish after the Civil Rights Movement, as it is still deeply embedded in the roots of American society as shown in the Overt and Covert Racism infographic in task 1, and authorizing power to certain individuals was exploited in a manner to further strengthen those discriminatory actions. ]]> 2020-06-01 15:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/nohy/4f06971dahten7c6/wish/605028237 nohy https://padlet.com/nohy/4f06971dahten7c6/wish/605084306 Beginning from July of 2019, teachers are no longer able to suspend a student for "willfully defying" them as many people argue that it is unfairly applied to African American students. While there are different perspectives upon this decision, it is true that suspension rates of African American students in California is higher than the rates which they attend schools, meaning they may be unjustly suspended for a minor action. The fact that racial issues prevail even in school grounds shows how, as shown in the structural racism vs individual racism infographic, the United States, though makes effort to eradicate racism, still suffers from the institutionalized racism in the previous centuries. ]]> 2020-06-01 15:52:28 UTC https://padlet.com/nohy/4f06971dahten7c6/wish/605084306
