https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1 The goal of our padlet board here is to share stories about race and racism around the world. Racism is a pandemic. It can be found in every culture. Why? Let's share social media posts, news articles, and videos from around the world so we can then look for the patterns. Then, we can disrupt them! **Please be sure to also post the link you add to our Canvas Assignment, Exercise #3.** en-us 2023-01-13 01:54:39 UTC 2023-05-04 02:29:36 UTC hello@padlet.com tdcarter2 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2443040663 This article highlights how race and racism continue to colonize our own bodies, casting some physical features as ideal and beautiful and others as harmful and ugly. It is saddening to learn about the harmful products and procedures people will try to lighten their skin tone. ]]> 2023-01-13 01:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2443040663 esaffer https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2472872378 https://www.independent.com/2023/02/01/two-anti-semitic-incidents-centered-near-ucsb-campus-leave-community-shocked/
Antisemitism is not a thought of the past and has been consistently rising within the past couple of years. These two acts that took place at UCSB are just a few of too many that have taken place in the last months in Santa Barbara. There were the flyers at SBCC passed out, there were people shouting up and down state street about killing "pedos, racists, and homophobes {Jews}". There is a long and painful history of Jews being the scapegoat, can we avoid another travesty?]]> 2023-02-08 04:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2472872378 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2478347481 This article was especially interesting to me because it happened just as I was researching this topic.

We had people come in screaming at us and threatening our staff. We took the matters to social media where they were able to gather members of the community to help the business, the artist came and restored the mural and the community really rallied together to get get more representation put up around Santa Barbara.

There is a section of the article that has bulletpoint after bulletpoint of harrowing stories. It is disgusting how people will racistly scapegoat Asian Americans for COVID-19 and the lockdown because it was first found in Wuhan, China. Despite the fact that the argument of "anyone with Asian ancestry is responsible for the pandemic" makes absolutely no sense, some people believe it to a disturbing degree. In San Francisco, where I am from, people had to put together protection teams to walk elderly Asian Americans to the places they needed to go because there have been an extreme amount of physical assaults towards that population.]]> 2023-02-17 22:03:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2486811322 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2486831666 This article was deeply interesting to me because of the emotions it evoked. It gets very personal and into depth with not just the initial actions of being a victim of police violence, but the trauma and PTSD surrounding the after effects. It talks about the activism that occurred after the shooting as well. I think that the emotions shared of the shooting spark empathy, which is a big catalyst for change. ]]> 2023-02-17 22:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2486831666 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2489123169 This is a video I saw on instagram of a hate crime that occurred in 2022. A man assaults an Asian American family who was minding their own business and trying to get home. He blocks their car, yells at them, and physically hits and choke multiple members of the family. It is a perfect example of how extremely racist people can be. In my opinion, it is a really good thing that some of these victims were able to get their phones out and record, because one way to stop people from doing this is to spread the word and make it aware to the world what is happening.]]> 2023-02-21 03:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2489123169 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2489273709 Most Americans may assume that racism in Africa against black people isn't really a problem. We assume that as the ethnic majority, they don't have it as bad as places like America, where they are minorities. But, as a country in Arab dominated North Africa, Black Tunisians only make up 10-15% of the population, most being descendants of slaves. Tunisia differs from it's neighboring countries because they have laws in place to prevent discrimination on the basis of race, but that doesn't prevent more casual forms of racism and verbal abuse. The racism and self-hate runs so deep that black Tunisians consider themselves a more superior group of people compared to their black sub-Saharan counterparts. ]]> 2023-02-21 06:08:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2489273709 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2490319731 I saw this on Instagram the other day. This post is talking about how republicans voted against the CROWN act in the senate. the CROWN act is an effort to ban all race-based discrimination of different hairstyle and textures in work and educational environment. This is one of many examples of how racism is still affecting our society. There are people in this country voting against other peoples right to fair educational and employment opportunities simply because of hair texture or hair style. this is a race issue because the excuses of someones hair (POC) "not being professional" or "being distracting" is directly correlated with someone "not looking white enough" to have a job, which is blatantly racist. ]]> 2023-02-21 21:53:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2490319731 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2491924690 Three years ago, the death of 18-year-old Fernando Báez Sosa shook the country of Argentina to its core. A group of rugby players had beat him to death at a nightclub while calling him racial slurs.

A few days later, my aunt sent me multiple articles and headlines discussing how they are apparently rewriting James Bond novels to remove the racist vocabulary, and I think this is a very easy and smart step that can be taken to help combat future readers views and comprehension of the novels going forth.]]> 2023-02-27 05:22:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2495843784 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2497356608 At approximately 5:39 p.m. on Monday, February 20, an Asian woman was assaulted by two young males at the MBTA's Davis Square Station. The two young racists also shouted a number of racial slurs. In my opinion, these extreme racists are cowardly and hateful because they always like to bully innocent people who are weaker than themselves!]]> 2023-02-28 03:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2497356608 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2498378232 In Florida, schools are starting to ban more and more books and literature from schools. Not only does this include important books which grasp the experience of POC, LGBTQ+ peoples, and others who have experienced discrimination, but it also is taking away history books and literature which teaches schools about slavery, feminism, and the history of America. The banning of books is teaching children to ignore the extreme racism that happens on a daily basis and the history of America and how America was built on a racist and sexist system. ]]> 2023-02-28 17:58:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2498378232 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2498507246 Articles like this have become all too common lately. California man Jaime Tran shot (with intent to murder) two people walking out of a synagogue who he assumed to be Jewish. He admitted he did this due to the fact that he thought they were Jewish. These crimes happen because of a lack of understanding towards another culture or individual. Social media can make this worse by enabling the Jaime Trans of the world to see the negatives they agree with, but it can also spread massive awareness that can lead to change. ]]> 2023-02-28 19:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2498507246 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2498744849 Articles about black males getting murdered by police officers has been something that we have constantly been seeing in the USA in specific.

This includes topics of race and racism, slavery in American history, and as well as LGBTQ+ issues too. 713 books have already been banned in Texas, and 17 states have already proposed bills and taken other measures to restrict education on these topics. Being educated about history is critical to combating racism and other forms of discrimination. By hiding books about these topics because they're deemed too "divisive" can lead to the erasure of many voices and parts of history that still have an impact on our current society. So it's important that students and future generations have access to knowledge about the past and are able to have open discussions about these issues and the effects they have today without censorship.]]> 2023-03-01 02:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2498885754 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2498915090 This is a news article written about the well known actor, Marc Wahlburg, who allegedly is guilt of multiple hate crimes against people who are not white. He supposedly harassed ,verbally and physically, people who come from asian and black decent.

It is impacted by the outcome of some people's opportunity of escaping homelessness. In this article specifically we see that in the LA the largest group of homelessness came from Latinos and Blacks. It can be seen as a problem in that there are growth opportunities in that community but these groups of people are never given the chance over the white population of homeless people. ]]> 2023-03-01 04:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2498980008 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2499001661 This video surfaced on tiktok when a drunk girl came back from a night out and began getting physical with the front desk attendant who was african american. She then proceeded to continuously chant racial slurs which was all captured on video. She was no longer allowed to attend the university; she was a senior months away from graduating.

The mother pulled both of her kids from the daycare since, and the website of the daycare issued an apology for the "confusion" and that the staff will be trained to avoid issues categorized as such, in the future. The mother added she she presumed there would be more time before these sorts of things (racism) would have to be endured by her children. 
That is exactly the sad part, that children have to experience racist things or microaggressions at such a young age in which they have no way to really comprehend or understand what it means. 
Additionally, I hate that when certain establishments, companies, corperations etc are under fire for something one of their workers and such have done, its deflected when you use terms like "confusion" when conveying an apology. Truth be told it isn't an apology in which there is a lack of accountability. ]]> 2023-03-01 07:04:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2499088054 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2499091760 A few months ago a video came out about a Senior at the University of Kentucky yelling racial slurs at a fellow African American student. Along with yelling the slurs she also physically attacked the other student. The video quickly gained speed all through the media blowing up on platforms such as Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram. Sophia Rosing was under the influence at the time but that is no excuse for her actions. Rosing withdrew from UK and is no longer allowed to attend. The article states that she "has been charged with alcohol intoxication in a public place, fourth-degree assault without visible injury, second-degree disorderly conduct, and third-degree assault on a police officer...".

The two friends did not know what to do but try to ignore and deescalate the interaction.

Other students of color were called racist names by classmates, including one student who was called a slave. Though the president of the school's PTA called it "unacceptable", it was stated that these were not isolated incidents, which demonstrates that children young enough to be in elementary school are repeatedly displaying racist tendencies. This shocking and inexcusable behavior draws attention to the fact that despite anti-racist and inclusive environments being purported as standard in schools, very young children are somehow still being taught that it is acceptable to be racist.]]> 2023-03-01 22:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2500255187 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2500431255
I came across a post/podcast interview today on instagram related to race, prison and black feminism with Richie Reseda of Question Culture. The image above is of the post on instagram. The YouTube link to the interview can be found here:
• https://youtu.be/qRnbYk5grNw 

Richie Reseda, a prison abolitionist and previously incarcerated black male talks about racism and growing up as a black man in Los Angeles and the carceral system. He started Question Culture which does feminist work with men in prisons. It is a great interview and offers a lot of insight into a lot of what we have been exploring in class so far on how racism still permeates our society to this day. 

Enjoy!

This article talks about pushing boundaries within the health care system with the goal of overcoming centuries of racial discrimination in the field.

New laws have been passed by Florida legislature and signed into law Ron DeSantis have been used to remove books from school libraries across the state. Many of these books deal with topics such as race and important historical figures such as Rosa Parks. Currently, many books are "under review" but students are worried that they might start banning material such as history textbooks. According to one parent "The books they’ve pulled make their political agenda so clear". DeSantis has also rejected the AP African American studies course causing the College Board to rewrite the curriculum to exclude concepts such as Black Lives Matter and many Black writers and scholars. ]]> 2023-03-03 03:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2502066679 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2502084558 I read this article about how new data from "The Education Trust" presents that there is a big gap in school fundings between different school districts in the US.

This is unfortunately very common when it comes to some sports and supporters. When everything goes well, the English supporters in this case, easily praise the players but when things go worse, they like to find something to blame the setback on.

Recently, I saw a bunch of people posting highly anti-Semitic posters on their snapchat story with captions of disgust. Naturally, I was shocked by the hateful messages of the posters so I decided to look into it further. In doing so, I discovered these posters were placed all around UCSB campus and spread throughout Isla Vista a couple days after National Holocaust Remembrance Day. The article I attached describes the incident that occurred and reminds the public that antisemitism and racism are not things of the past. As disgusting as it is, this incident was somewhat of a wake up call for me because I now realize that although life at home may seem perfect, there is racism and hate all in all parts of the world and that includes right here. ]]> 2023-03-03 19:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503037557 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503121375 While at a Film and Television class with 50 students, a NYU student was spotted writing racial slurs in their notebook. Two classmates who witnessed this, notified their professor who asked the student why they were writing racial slurs in their notebook. After being confronted, the student pointed to a Black student sitting near. The student did not give their name to the professor and asked to be withdrawn form the class and left. The student is no longer enrolled at NYU. This happened in late January 2023 in one of the most diverse cities in the world. ]]> 2023-03-03 21:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503121375 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503130432 The UN article discusses how, while hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fled their country as refugees amidst a war with Russia, those not fitting the description of a "typical white Ukranian" were often discriminated against and not allowed entry as refugees. Many of these people discriminated against were third country nationals who originated in Africa. Because of their skin color or nationality they were denied entry into other countries because they "aren't Ukrainian" despite the fact that they were living in the country as legal residents. ]]> 2023-03-03 21:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503130432 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503197619 This article talks about how racism has had a negative effect on the access to healthcare and how people of color are treated in hospitals compared to white people. It also talks about how racism when projected on to a certain individual can make that person experience health problems such as lack of sleep, psychiatric disorders, heart disease, and much more.  Overall this article helps cover how even if we do not see it, racism is still present today in our lives, and we have to start noticing it. ]]> 2023-03-03 23:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503197619 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503214463 More parents of indigenous and black children are reporting that their children are experiencing racism in their daily lives. Indigenous and black children have been experiencing racism at a higher rate since 2016. While indigenous children have experienced racism at a rate of 10.8% in 2016 to a rate of 15.7% in 2020. In addition, black children have had changing rates of racism as well, as the study shows that black children have experienced more racism since 2016 (9.69%) to 2020 (15.7%). It is astounding and terrifying to see that despite the amount of knowledge we as humans have today, still display racist and prejudiced tendencies. Overall, it is unacceptable behavior that must be fixed no matter what.]]> 2023-03-04 00:49:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503214463 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503236621 I choose my post to be about George Floyd. I choose this because I feel like racism is an enormous problem in today's society, and always has been, but this particular case got the entire world's attention. As horrible as it was to hear, see and learn about, it is something that everyone needs to grow from. These things should not be happening in the world anymore, and despite this case having the whole world's eye, and it causing so much grief and sadness, people are still out their committing these awful hate crimes, that no body deserves to go through. ]]> 2023-03-04 01:54:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503236621 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503281145 This article covers information about the rumored "Day of Hate". Police departments in lager cities major cities have been warned of a “Day of Hate” against the Jewish community. White nationalist groups and Neo nazi's on social media are told to have been encouraging followers to engage in vandalism and spread antisemitic propaganda. It's heartbreaking to see how prevalent racism is in our society today. I think social media can be both beneficial and negative to helping stop racism and I think this article demonstrates that well. As we are able to read about this potential hate crime we are kind of given a wake up call to how racism is something our society hasn't grown from. However the article states that this was also organized via social media by antisemitic groups and they were able to spread more negative propaganda because of it. ]]> 2023-03-04 04:07:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503281145 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503286347 Antisemitism is a complicated and insidious hatred that is pervasive in many countries and cultures. As for as modern education goes on antisemitism, the most we learn about is the holocaust and that is not the case for all. The lack of education surrounding this form of bigotry is a major component in its pervasiveness. Antisemitism can be found in most corners of the internet but it happens in person much more often than gets recognition. We tend to think of antisemitism as a thing of the past, but despite efforts, rates of antisemitism are not low. Antisemitic hate crimes made up 63% percent of religious based hate crimes despite jews being 3% of Californias population in 2020(CA DOJ 2020). This number is only rising year by year. The news tends not to cover these individual events, so we don't hear about them often. But they are happening. Shootings, vandalism, hateful rhetoric, and other forms of discrimination are happening across the country and even within our own city. ]]> 2023-03-04 04:25:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503286347 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503286814 This article covers multiple instances of racism amongst high school football teams across the country. One nauseating example took place at a Northern California High school an hour north of Sacramento. The Amador varsity football were active in a group-chat called "Kill the Blacks". After the school was informed of the group chat, the remainder of the football season was cancelled and the Football coach and athletic director were put on leave. It's sad to see that stuff like this happens so frequently. This example felt personal to my because I was born and raised in California. It's terrible to hear and read of racist actions, especially in my home state.]]> 2023-03-04 04:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503286814 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503321542 Anti-Asian racism initially spiked in San Francisco in 2020 and news about this issue was quite widespread. I always found it super strange that this was happening since I always believed Asian-American culture was very appreciated and widespread within the Bay Area, but, nonetheless hate crimes continued to occur. Something that surprised me within this article is that the number of reported cases of racism increased by 500% in 2021 compared to 2020 and there have been 11,500 reported incidents since 2020 which I think is insane.]]> 2023-03-04 06:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503321542 https://padlet.com/tdcarter2/b8fuy8bd0nd3cj1/wish/2503324873 This article talks about the lasting affects of racial discrimination in the housing market.

It was discovered that black children had more exposure to adversity than white children. The brain regions impacted were related to emotional issues like PTSD, depression, and anxiety. While its not to say black and white children brains are different, the study just shows how the brain is impacted when exposed to more adversity.

The What Really Makes Us Safe? Project is a multimedia project created by Melanie Brazzell in collaboration with many others committed to a vision of safety that includes everyone. Understanding that police, prisons, and border regimes spread insecurity rather than safety, the goal of the project is to explore community-based alternatives to punishment, particularly for addressing gender-based violence. The U.S.-based aspect of the project involved interviews with transformative justice activists in North America as part of academic research. The German-based component brought this knowledge back to the Berlin communities where Melanie was working in the form of a university seminar, public events, workshops, an art exhibition, and a toolkit.
