In the past people who were light skin was thought of being '' prettier '' and people with darker skin were '' dirty '' and wasn't right. So in history people believe whites should get the best resources because there were known to be better then people with dark skin. Nowadays we still have this problem but not so bad anymore because school has educated many people and we start to empower the diversity.]]> 2021-02-25 20:15:17 UTC https://padlet.com/marjorieromero2/asjnbpzcg85f26vt/wish/1243098888 sn373767 https://padlet.com/marjorieromero2/asjnbpzcg85f26vt/wish/1243100257  Carter G.

White fragility is when a white person gets defensive/or angry when the topic of race/white privilege/or racial oppression is brought up. This is the reason why people want BHM to be "cancelled" or for there to be a white history month. When BHM is brought up, many white people get upset because it unconsciously reminds them of their ugly past. ]]> 2021-02-25 20:16:43 UTC https://padlet.com/marjorieromero2/asjnbpzcg85f26vt/wish/1243104559 https://padlet.com/marjorieromero2/asjnbpzcg85f26vt/wish/1243105076 Some people don't want to acknowlegde the opression and discrimination that black people faced in the past they don't want to hear about how black people struggled for their rights and most of the time its people that would try to cancel Black History month ]]> 2021-02-25 20:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/marjorieromero2/asjnbpzcg85f26vt/wish/1243105076 https://padlet.com/marjorieromero2/asjnbpzcg85f26vt/wish/1243106271 We were enslaved because we had more power and they didn't like that so they tried to take it away.]]> 2021-02-25 20:17:09 UTC https://padlet.com/marjorieromero2/asjnbpzcg85f26vt/wish/1243106271 marjorieromero2 https://padlet.com/marjorieromero2/asjnbpzcg85f26vt/wish/1243111668 For me in the Filipino community, colorism still exists because of the colonial mentality that if you worked outside and got darker it meant you're a peasant and don't have an indoor job, like royalty back in the early days.  Also, thanks to colonialism, people connected being fair-skinned (light complexion) meant higher status i.e. closer to whiteness.  White supremacy due to colonial mentality/colonialism.]]> 2021-02-25 20:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/marjorieromero2/asjnbpzcg85f26vt/wish/1243111668 https://padlet.com/marjorieromero2/asjnbpzcg85f26vt/wish/1243112709 Angela Davis, Fred Hampton, Malcolm X etc.]]> 2021-02-25 20:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/marjorieromero2/asjnbpzcg85f26vt/wish/1243112709 https://padlet.com/marjorieromero2/asjnbpzcg85f26vt/wish/1243118461 Some people think black history should be down played because when we learn about who we are we have more power and they don't like that and they want us to "stop worrying about the past" even tho we are still treated poorly.]]> 2021-02-25 20:20:06 UTC https://padlet.com/marjorieromero2/asjnbpzcg85f26vt/wish/1243118461 sn395788 https://padlet.com/marjorieromero2/asjnbpzcg85f26vt/wish/1243120307 I think the reason why people associate skin color with status is because of what there ancestors believe and who had power and who they feel should have power for example slavery one race had power and the other didn't and some people believe it should still be that way.
