Most of the common questions from people to ask is What Kind of (any continent you are from) are you?, people ask this as if someone from other continent are products to be labeled, categorized, or lumped together. It is like if they want to know the surface while neglecting the truth underneath,the struggles and the injustices that comes along with a question that seems so simple to those who are unaffected by the sacrifices of our parents and grandparents. ]]> 2017-12-07 14:14:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/214114906 kasey_lucero_obando https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/214133125 This poem made me think in my own experience, that when you go to a new place that don't speak your own language things can get scary, but when you really need it people will help you. This make a point in society, the idea of community where compassion, food, tradition, and commonality are shared. We are living in a world that is made of us, and just us can make a difference in it, like being kind and making connections with other people that maybe are not from our same culture, but we could get to know new things and expand our diversity and knowledge. ]]> 2017-12-07 14:43:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/214133125 kasey_lucero_obando https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/214145429 This story makes a big point in society showing how bullying can be a big problem on a person, in this case Junior, all the struggles that he had to pass highlighting the effects of racism can have on a growing person. Sometimes not because you have the same skin tone as someone else does not mean that you are friends with that person or you have mutual respect to each, like Alexis shows in this story, Junior did most of his education surrender by Indians and he always was bullied. This story a makes a connection in the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, because as the way people played tricks on Junior, making him feel down, is the same way how Huck and Tom treated Jim just because he was a slave, making tricks on him and abused of his superstitions beliefs. ]]> 2017-12-07 15:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/214145429 kasey_lucero_obando https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/215007190 Morrison,while she was reading the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, had some reactions making a really interesting point, in which each person is different and has different ways they can take the book. For example, when I first start reading the book I knew the controversy that caused the N-word but for me it was like something common read that word (and even sometimes hear it) because from where I came from that word is common, and is not considered a insult. Also the point she makes about how Huck had a "external chaos" whether or not it was the right thing to do, and his inability to interact with racist people shows that he did not know nothing about life and Jim was the key point for him, because with Jim he learned to live with fear and sadness, and also we have to remark that Jim and Huck's relationship doomed to the end. ]]> 2017-12-11 13:59:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/215007190 kasey_lucero_obando https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/215007606 This video connects with the slam poem What kind of Asian are you? talking about stereotypes and how they are the biggest issue, trying to put labels on black people, like if they are trying to make a difference when everyone is equal. One of the most common stereotype to black people is that they are drug dealers, when not all black people is like that is just a group of people, but not all of them. Sometimes white people tries to use the N-word, to make feel pain over a black people, and the youngest generations learn based on what adults say, but that is not what we wanna teach to them. We need to make a difference, we need to change and teach our youngest generation that there is not labeled on people, yes there is bad black people around the wold, but also there is bad white people, as just there is good black people and also good white people. We should give us the opportunity to meet new people of different races and learn from them because not all of them are bad.  ]]> 2017-12-11 14:00:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/215007606 kasey_lucero_obando https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/215394642 The same systems that disadvantage and marginalize African-Americans confer privileges on the white middle class, privileges that are hard for those who benefit to see or acknowledge.According to many people, being white gives you more ways to be always look great for the world, they have more opportunities than black people. According to many people sometimes  "white privileged" is what make black people seem  bad, just because the are color people, white people think that they are the responsible of what happen like robbers, drugs, etc... but let's see it from this point of view, yes when a black family moves to a white neighborhood, they can be harassed or people are not nice to them, but....have someone ever think what happens when the opposite happens, when a white family moves to a black neighborhood and yeah it happens the same, white people can be discriminated by black people and also can be harassed..... White skin privilege is not something that white people necessarily do, create or enjoy on purpose. Unlike the more overt individual and institutional manifestations of racism described above, white skin privilege is a transparent preference for whiteness that saturates our society. ]]> 2017-12-12 13:32:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/215394642 kasey_lucero_obando https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/215402261 In this article of the newspaper written by Harold Doug talks about the Native mascot controversy. Even thought there is people that often their intention is to honor Native Americans (by referring to positive traits, such as fighting spirit and being aggressive, brave, stoic, dedicated, and proud), most of the time people  see these traits as being based upon stereotypes of Native Americans as savages and this issue is discussed in the media only in terms of the offensiveness of certain terms, images, and performances to individuals of Native American heritage, which tends to reduce the problem to one of feelings and personal opinions. This article kinda connects with the slam poem What Kind of Asian are you by like saying all stereotypes, whether positive or negative, are harmful because they promote false or misleading associations between a group and an attribute, fostering a disrespectful relationship. ]]> 2017-12-12 13:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/215402261 kasey_lucero_obando https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/215410567 This journal is more connected with history, and how African-Americans helped to change the world, like in the war time they helped as servants for the military, but not just that their movement to fight for their rights and liberty shaped the American culture. For most of the American history, legal and social discrimination shaped and denied Africans-Americans access to education and literacy. Institutionalized discrimination combined with rich African and slave traditions contributed to the retention and cultivation of a strong oral tradition that survives to this day in the African American experience. In this way, the strong oral tradition that permeated black history continues to enrich the religious, political, and business worlds of the African American experience and continues to transform mainstream American culture and experience. Black people matters and helped to make a change in the world as white people did it. ]]> 2017-12-12 14:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/215410567 kasey_lucero_obando https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/216009516 When I first saw the title of this article, the first question that came to my mind was: are things better now? and while I was reading this article I came to the conclusion that yes! Racism have got a lot better than the older days, we are doing better than chattel slavery, we are doing better than legal segregation. In this day and age you don't have to hide your relationship with someone of the opposite race unless you're ashamed of them. People are more outgoing, courageous and have a higher self-esteem than before (connection with the friendship between Huck and Jim, Huck at first was scared of what society thought about but then he realize that he was doing good). But even though we had getting better, we still have a long way to go, there seems to be a high level of acceptance; however, there still is a great deal for people to learn. ]]> 2017-12-13 23:03:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/216009516 kasey_lucero_obando https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/216013476 Discrimination to white people does exist as the same of black people, but on different views, blacks and whites are two worlds apart. Working class white people are much more likely to feel discriminated against. But the perception of discrimination correlates across races with success and wealth. The poorer you are, the more likely you are to feel discriminated against. African-Americans have the highest perception of discrimination. African-Americans blame individual prejudice over government policy, while white people blame individual prejudice over laws. America isn't divided racially so much as it’s divided culturally between big, powerful coastal cities and the struggling towns of the heartland, we have become a broken multicultural society where most people are convinced that other races have it in for them. ]]> 2017-12-13 23:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kasey_lucero_obando/b3ctlnulwkmv/wish/216013476
