Can you feel the Prejudice?

I often feel prejudice against me. I am a white woman who dates men of African American ethnicity and when ever i meet their parents often the mother wont like me. not for my mannerisms, or my appearance but simply because i am white. i have been told multiple times that i was not welcome to date their son because, “you white women come in here and take all the good black men and leave the bums for us black women.” I can’t help who i am attracted to or that her son is attracted to me.

Do you have a culture?

As a white 4th generation immigrant I dont really know much about my culture. In my family we dont practice anything from our background so i wouldn’t be one to have a piece of ethnic background to call my own.

The South African principal’s assumption that a student who does not conform to the middle-class norms of dress and speech is unlikely to succeed- or even survive- express and reinforce prejudice about a group’s inferiority by rendering relatively benign cultural practices as deviant, abnormal and dangerous.

This is horrible that this student feels this from his principal but, in reality this is how the world is going to view them, it’s sad but it’s true.

this is a spoof commercial of what white people try to do to attract black people to their airlines. it’s funny but very racist.

According to the board’s argument, since students who spoke languages other than English can receive additional funding and special programs to address their lack or English fluency, African American students wo speak AAVE should also be eligible.

-Everyday Antiracism, John Baugh (2008)

This claim is ridiculous we should be teaching these students to speak proper english in the english classes provided.

Why do you talk funny?

My first week at Rainier Beach High School i was talking in our group discussion and every time i would open my mouth someone would tell me that i talk funny because i was speaking proper english.

If we want to teach students about contemporary life, we must talk about race.
