Racism in the Workplace Racism in the Workplace The purpose of this essay is to make people in America and African Americans in general aware that the problem of racism in the workplace must be solved immediately. My main target audience would be catered to African Americans because they are the ones dealing with this situation and also I would like to target the administrators because they will have to fix the situation. The problem is that despite laws being put in place for racial discrimination inside the workplace, African Americans still have serious problems from individuals and their policies. This is a trend that has decreased but has also increased over time. What I mean by that is!
I understand where Freeman is coming from, but he doesn’t seem to fully grasp or understand the meaning of Black History Month. It means more than sharing stories and history about famous important black Americans. It means more than the rights they well deserved, or the freedoms they overcame. It’s the important picture behind all of it. I think it’s the celebration of change, the month that sets hope for other issues that strike our country daily.

Rothstein offers a very comprehensive review of a myriad of factors influenced by socioeconomic class and their potential effects on the achievement of students. He addresses genetics (Rothstein, 17), childrearing techniques (19), nutrition (44), alcohol and tobacco use (42), and a variety of health-related physical aspects (37-42). In the article More than just race: being black and poor in the inner city by William J. Wilson, the author analyzes the fragmentation of African-American families and the underlying causes of this breakdown. Wilson begins with discussing the 1965 report by Daniel Patrick Moynihan. He illustrates the rise of the “black perspective” and its effects on the serious social scientific study of urban poverty (Wilson, 99).
The personal experiences that I have endured throughout high school, college and personal experiences have led me to argue the fact as an African American man that racism still exist to this present time period. Therefore if racism is bought up in a conversation and someone tries to argue that racism is non-existent, the three topics I have discussed are some of the many claims that racism still exist today.

By: Garvin H. Shannon While his opinion and theory behind the social ills of blacks are well supported, Shannon has failed to mention that the human race itself, is shaped by its past. In truth, we all "have the power to shape our own destiny" as Shannon mentions, but the fact remains, Blacks must first comprehend their purpose in order to understand what is predestined for them. In his opening statements, giving our oppressors divine characteristics is said of those blacks that use slavery as the reasoning behind their lack of responsibility; however, I cannot depart from the impression that Shannon feels slavery hasn't had little or any effect on the moral fiber of blacks.
Martin Luther King Jr’s main perspective during the fight on racism was equality. At the time in which he fought the crisis of racial inequality a main concern was to address that "white America must assume the guilt for the black man's inferior status" (King, 9) as stated in the reading Racism and the White Backlash. Also Dr. Martin Luther King from my understanding believes reparation in this nation at that time was not the top priority. He could not stress enough about how essential racial equality was for the nation to become solve mainstream crisis during the peak of
Mr. Jason Jefferson English 11 13 January 2013 Light Skin vs. Dark Skin While researching texts on the struggle between Light Skin vs. Dark Skin, I found a few authors who published texts about the stratification and the racial identity of Blacks, particularly educational journals, and a book. These authors usually placed the Black literature they were studying into an historical context by discussing the important events of the year in which the literature was published. My goal in this paper is to bring these sources into the Light Skin vs.
