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

Dalton is afraid that Americans are blinded from reality because they are given false hope of achieving the American Dream. Despite Brooks and Daltons polar approaches in viewing the American Dream, the idea within both arguments can be similar. Brooks’ view of time differs from Dalton’s in which Brooks’ view of the American Dream is from the vantage point of the future, while Dalton is concerned with the issues in America today. Dalton believes that it is impossible to eventually reach the American Dream because of issues like racism and social class. He thinks that it is impossible to progress with the ideas of racism and social class, and that we can’t move forward until these issues are neutralized.
While Bartholet and Noble focus on the idea that race shouldn’t be a deciding factor, Twila Perry takes a different position by claiming that it should be one of the main factors in adoption. In her article “Take race out of the equation” (2014), Elizabeth Bartholet expresses that race should not be a factor to take into account. Bartholet explains that “Racial matching failed to meet the narrow affirmative action exception to that tradition [of not discriminating according to race]: It hurt rather than helped black children, by locking them
The integration seems to be stifled in the cradle because of the oppositions, not only among the students but also the residents, and the long history of racial discrimination in the south of United States. The process of integration does not work smoothly among the young and impulsive boys in Titans until the midnight run to Gettysburg, which is a turning point laying the foundation of the unity of Titans. At first, boys do not get along well with each other. They refuse to sit together at dinning times. They do not want to communicate with each other.

The struggle for equality in sports has been and still is an issue in sports, however, racism and sexism was seen far more often in 1920’s sports, than seen in today’s twenty-first century sports. Studying history of sports in the U.S. has shown that sexism and racism have made a lot of advances toward equality in the course of the last ninety years. Historically, race has played an enormous role in American sports. The Jim Crow Laws, effective 1876 to 1965, helped in the steps toward equality in American sports. These laws were designed to create a “separate but equal” environment for African Americans and whites to coexist peacefully, but in reality the laws actually led to treatments and accommodations for Negros that were usually inferior to those of white Americans.
Today, these quotas have long since been banned, but some argue that special considerations toward minorities are still apparent and disrupt their rights for equal opportunity. On the one hand, they argue that qualifications should be based on merit rather than race or gender, and that it implements reverse discrimination. One the other hand, those who support the concept of Affirmative Action insist that equal opportunity is reached by helping those races faced with disadvantages and that it compensates for discrimination in the past. My own view is that special consideration should not be given to minorities because it is contradictory in their intent to create equal opportunity, therefore increasing racial tensions instead of promoting it. By protecting and giving preference to minorities, Affirmative Action unwarily discriminates against the majority, therefore contradicting its own intent for equal opportunity.
The Effects of Race in our Education k-12 English 1A 5/18/2011 “Education: It’s Unavoidable Favoritism” The Effects of Race and Class in Education Grades K-12 It would be a lie if you were to hear that education has spread itself evenly between California’s differentiating race and class. Throughout history we have seen valiant attempts to create equality in the learning facility such as Affirmative Action and the Equal Protection clause. In the United States, our Constitution guarantees that no person or group will be denied such protection under the law as is enjoyed by similar persons or groups. These individuals must be treated without prejudice and with the same treatment that their peers receive. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States prohibits states from denying any person "the equal protection of the laws."
A spokesman for the university sports council Jim McCarthy noted that the content of Title IX is “dangerous for the existence of the sports”. “However, no learner should be denied the opportunity to play a sport based on his or her gender”. James Madison university track athlete Mark Rinker noted after losing his team due to Title IX that this is not going to stop male sports at James Madison University. He proposed that something had to be done in order to avert a similar crisis from hitting other Universities as well. This action failed to put into considerations the interests and abilities of students, killing careers of many young male students who were talented in athletics (Heller,
