1. Increase federal support towards monitory owned small businesses
2. Increase funding that goes towards medical facilities that serve largely nonwhite populations
3. Expand the Opportunity Zones, a tax deferral for distressed communities
4. Encourage police departments to meet professional standard use of force and to pilot a program for social workers to work with police departments.

America definitely has this issue.

I personally believe that this isn't true because after slavery ended as well as the jim crow laws and other segregation/ discriminatory things, they were able to get a fresh start. For me, I know that my mother came to America as an immigrant and had absolutely nothing. As a minority, I believe that there is nothing holding them back. And because of affirmative action, it was much harder for my mother to actually get a place in a university because of the competitive environment surrounding her.

People that are actually discriminated against and have a worse chance of getting into college (or whatever). I think this question of affirmative action doesn't just apply to college applications.

In a world where they are treated unfairly, I don't think it's unfair to give them a slight boost so that they can have a CHANCE at being at the same level as other people.

Do you not think there is lingering racism and discrimination towards black people from white people? I think you're using your one example of how affirmative action wasn't fair and applying it to multiple scenarios.

The affirmative action in colleges put us against our own race. I think that is not fair and they should put everybody against each other, or if they want to be more fair, everybody in the same income bracket against each other. people with higher income tend to have more educational resources, which is why it is harder for asians to get into college because they have the money and the tiger parenting culture to always focus on the studies. Although my family is more american cultured, I have to be compared to these others purely because of my race. ]]> 2020-11-03 04:53:38 UTC https://padlet.com/shaffnerk/rb0bflso1wf0yzyj/wish/884974719 shibatak1 https://padlet.com/shaffnerk/rb0bflso1wf0yzyj/wish/884974851 There definitely is an issue with systematic, institutional racism and discrimination towards minorities.

The effects of slavery are still seen today, and is especially the cause of why there are discriminations and racists comments towards black. But I agree with you that if one case turns out in doing reparations, other cases should be too. HOWEVER, some of the cases that you’ve list up there are cases where the nation has given money/support for reparations. ]]> 2020-11-03 04:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/shaffnerk/rb0bflso1wf0yzyj/wish/884977431 chene121 https://padlet.com/shaffnerk/rb0bflso1wf0yzyj/wish/884979310 I don't think it's fair to compare slavery to the LGBTQ discrimination. Slavery was not just a form of discrimination, it was way more than that. They were treated like less than animals. They were whipped, humiliated, beaten for fighting for their basic rights, raped, criminalized, worked to death. All the worse things that could be done was done to them. It was also NORMALIZED, and because of that, some people today still have an image in their mind that black people should be below them. ]]> 2020-11-03 04:55:53 UTC https://padlet.com/shaffnerk/rb0bflso1wf0yzyj/wish/884979310 leej101 https://padlet.com/shaffnerk/rb0bflso1wf0yzyj/wish/884980034 I don't think that america needs renewed Equal Rights Act.

It's not a matter of who works harder. Two families can work the same amount, but one family could have an easier chance at getting into college (if we're gonna stick with this example).]]> 2020-11-03 04:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/shaffnerk/rb0bflso1wf0yzyj/wish/884980102 wua211 https://padlet.com/shaffnerk/rb0bflso1wf0yzyj/wish/884980342 if they changed it from race to economic status I would be okay with it.

For instance, there were a lot of different hate groups that would kill and torture LGBT people, which is still happening today in countries like Iraq. I don't think that people have an image in their mind that black people should be below them because they did not have exposure to the normalization of slavery during that time period. everybody that had exposure to that are basically all dead.

I agree with you that it shouldn't be separated by race. But, I think that when there is a general trend toward people of a certain race having lower economical resources than people of another race.

The Equality Act tries to ban discrimination against LGBTQ people in employment, housing, public accommodations, jury service, education, federal programs, and credit. They also want to pass hate crime legislation including LGBTQ. ]]> 2020-11-03 05:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/shaffnerk/rb0bflso1wf0yzyj/wish/885045213 miyazonos https://padlet.com/shaffnerk/rb0bflso1wf0yzyj/wish/885056220 Trump believes that although discrimination is present it is not a huge problem because only a few "bad apples" are the problem. His secretary states that we should not assume an organization is rotten just because an individual is. Although the organization itself may not be rotten, Trump is underestimating the discrimination that occurs in America. There is far more than a "few bad apples". With racist people the organization will become racist as well. America has a racist system that discriminate the minorities. If the minorities feel secure with the system and has a sense of equality, protest would not occur. The US assume that inequality ended with the slavery and civl war. But the trauma still remains and some system still fail to have equality. These include education, health care, and economy. ]]> 2020-11-03 05:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/shaffnerk/rb0bflso1wf0yzyj/wish/885056220 miyazonos https://padlet.com/shaffnerk/rb0bflso1wf0yzyj/wish/885079719 I do not think that the federal government is entirely responsible. But they are responsible for providing every citizen with security. Laws and limitations should be placed in order to provide these security. I think that reparation is not possible. There is no way to repair the damage we caused the slave. I think the only thing people can do is to remember what happened back then (learn from it) and never repeat it again.

However, I think that the equal rights act is ironic since it states everyone has equal rights but the act itself is showing that equality does not exist and therefore an equal right act exists. I think that all the rights given to American citizens should be accessible to everyone including the minorities. A separate act should not be necessary and equality should be normalized. ]]> 2020-11-03 05:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/shaffnerk/rb0bflso1wf0yzyj/wish/885083924 lina11 https://padlet.com/shaffnerk/rb0bflso1wf0yzyj/wish/886123366 I think that racism is an ongoing issue today, we America as a whole have to work together to advocate for this, without violence because it defeats the point.

Like what James mentioned, not everyone is discriminated against.

It can't repair the damage of slavery that actually happened, because all the enslaved people are basically not alive now.
