As stated earlier, the meaning of the word “race” is merely the categorization of different populations, on earth, among humans. If the “Negro” was really one of the lowest races, that would be considered a different specie, he or she wouldn’t be able to reproduce any offspring with someone of white race or a different race. Even though, Dr. Hunt somewhat agrees “that the offspring of all the mixtures of the so-called races of man are
When in reality, they are both wrong. Everyone deserves to be equal in the American, it’s our right, and if you don’t like it then become a hermit so you will not have to deal with it. The Black Panthers want Africans to take over the white race, as if to make war with them. The Skinheads hate anyone who is not white; believe the saying “if you’re not white you’re not right”. I believe the old school Black Panthers had a bigger impact on U.S. society more than anything.
Political ideas associated with racial superiority and inferiority were first ‘scientifically’ justified after Charles Darwin’s seminal text The Origin of Species in which he stated that a ‘struggle’ existed between individuals within a species. Darwin saw his theories as a reason for man to be humble and he stated that man was directly related to animals, however others had different interpretations. The philosopher Herbert Spencer argued and coined the phrase ‘survival of the fittest’, he believed no society should interfere with the competitive laws of nature, which ultimately became a pseudo – scientific basis for the European powers to expand their empires. Spencer popularised the idea of ‘social Darwinism’, which was the major ‘scientific’ method employed by the European powers in the late 19th Century. Although there was no justification for asserting that one race was intellectually superior to another, the imperialists assumed that special aptitudes were inherent in the mental make-up of the white European.
The historic figure I choose is Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela has one of those personalities who has changed the course of history through their courage, dedication, and bravery. South Africa, a country mainly inhabited by its natives was being ruled by a tiny minority of Caucasians. If there was a rule of law or a rule that ensures the human rights of all people without any discrimination on the basis of race, it would have not been acceptable. But Africa's government was the worst example of racialism and violation of the human rights.
But Andrew Jackson thought that voting rights should be given to all white males. Also Jefferson thought only educated political elite could run for office but Jackson thought that any white male could run for office. Another thing that the Jeffersonian and Jacksonian Democracy disagreed on was on economic problems. For example, Jefferson thought the Yeomen farmers were the “chosen
In our world, mankind has classified the people living on this planet by the colour of their skin. The categories that came out of that are known as races. Those who believe the race is a real biological entity argue that we still believe in it. Those who view race, not as a biological entity but as a social construction, argue that race is a figment of racist imaginations. Science, they claim, has disproved the reality of race, and only prejudice gives it validity.
Q: Prologue: What is Yali’s question? Restate the question in Professor Diamond’s words or your own words. A: Yali’s question was simply, “Why is it you white people developed so much cargo, but we black people had little cargo of our own?” While many people gave answers to his concern, the answer he was looking for was the geological difference between white and New Guinean people, causing germs to react differently to the black people. Q: Chapter 3: How does Pizarro’s capture of Atahualpa explain why Europeans colonized the New World instead of Native Americans colonizing Europe? A: Pizarro had to capture Atahualpa instead of Native Americans Colonizing Europe because his groups had more advanced technology to overcome Atahualpa’s
The question is not how to allow blacks to become part of the the educated class. The objective is to allow blacks to live NORMAL lives in a white society. To make them a respected part of society will take much longer, and is far more difficult. They can only become ordinary citizens when they are no longer hated by the whites. W.E.B DuBois was hated by the majority of the white population as he was viewed as a trouble maker.
Charles Darwin and Francis Galton are the major psychologists that defend this theory. B.F Skinner and John Watson strongly oppose their theories and say that it is the exact opposite. Charles Darwin uses his theory of natural selection, which proposed that heritable characteristics that provide a survival or reproductive advantage are more likely to be passed on to subsequent generations and thus come to be selected over time, to prove that genetics control how a person behaves. Furthermore, Francis Galton, a relative of Darwin, stated that the class that you were born into was a genetic predisposition, and that you would not be able to rise from this standard. For example, if a lower class man and woman have a child then their child would not be able to rise form the lower class.
“’Jem, I ain’t ever heard of a nigger snowman,’ I said.” (Scout, pg. 72) It shows that Negroes aren’t important in society, but when you take a closer look at it, there would be no civilisation in Maycomb without the hard work of Negroes. “’He won’t be black long,’ He grunted” (Jem, pg.72) White men will simply be treated better and with more royalty, even if they had done the same sin as a black man has done; For instance in Tom Robinson’s case with Bob Ewell’s daughter Mayella. Everyone knows that the white man Bob, will win. A black man never has a chance up against a white man.
