Race In My CommunityEssay Preview: Race In My CommunityReport this essayRace in My CommunityKaren GainesAxia CollegeIn my community there are several minority ethnic groups that get along quite well. Since being in my neighborhood, I have not had an opportunity to see any racism, discrimination or prejudice when it comes to race or nationality. However, there is some prejudice in areas of lifestyle.
I remember moving into my community in the spring of 1999 and the entire block was tree lined. Most of the people in my neighborhood are African Americans, home owners and are elderly; however, there are some couples with children and grandchildren that live with them. There are a few Europeans and Jamaicans that live in the neighborhood. I visited the 7-Eleven in my community and was introduced to a minority group from Nepal, which is “a small country between India and China” as told from Budsan.
I have very limited interaction with the community due to my schedule; however, at the home owner’s association meetings from earlier years, I have met various home owners in the community. There were African Americans and Whites only at this meeting and everyone was treated fairly and appeared to be happy. The owners of the cleaners, that is next to the community building, is Chinese and they seem to be happy about their location.
The people in my community treat everyone basically the same. Unfortunately, there are a lot of young men that do not work or go to school that stand on some of the corners and this behavior has caused the community to withdraw early on; however, within the last 2-3 years, the community has been cleaned up. There are still some young men that sell drugs and that loiter, but the neighbors are taking back the community. As far as I can see, everyone is treated the same. There is an African American woman that is married to a White man up the street from me and my dog plays with his dog sometimes. We all get along very well.
During my time in this class I have found more information on African Americans than I thought that I knew. The topic of the chapter was “The Making of African Americans in White America” which is already a stereotypical topic. Through reading this information, I have learned more about slavery, civil rights, and how racism still exists in the United States. I am proud to be a neighbor in my neighborhood because there is no opinions of race, sexual identify, or culture. There are some positive things that has happened in the United States concerning African Americans, for example, there are African American politicians, there is an African American running for President of the United States, and there are African American lawyers, doctors, CEO’s, homeowners, etc.
The History of the Race Card
Culture, Poverty, and the Rise of the Racism Paradox
On the 17th June, 1833, King Louis XVIII said, “There were no more Africans. … They are not white.” It was the year of Louis XVI’s death and the year when he was elected King. In his personal address, Louis XVI wrote the following: “Since I may think of the fact that there are many African Americans, I must mention some, whom I am afraid to name, who were born of African descent as well as the descendants of African descent.” It is an important point of conversation here because it is also important to explore one’s own history in terms of race. African Americans may be a bit more of an outcast in America, but as an outcast, African Americans need as many African friends as the American public does within their own communities – it is important to be a part of their community. These friendships, especially in recent years, are filled by a community of people who share the same beliefs, but the same passion and desire to understand what actually happens to them and where they’re coming from. For this reason, African Americans and other human rights activists are trying to bridge the gap into the United States society through education, activism, and solidarity. These are both opportunities and barriers that these issues have to offer. Both of the following reasons will be more important than one individual’s personal experience.
1. Racial discrimination. If Africans are discriminated against, that discrimination may be even more detrimental than they actually are.
If you are African-American as a human being and it is your community that you are discriminated against on any matter, it is not true that African American people experience discrimination in the United States. For those African-Americans who don’t understand the concept of racial discrimination, it often takes some degree of context to understand the facts of your story. Many African-American people in various racial groups (especially white or Latino) may experience some form of discrimination in the marketplace. At some point as you grow older, you often may enter into a racial discrimination encounter where you experience discomfort in your family, your neighborhood, and for that matter, your entire family. It might be years of searching for a specific person to come to your house, and that person may only ever be able to talk for a few minutes due to the perceived oppression on your part. While there are many things that you can do to reduce that kind of experience and discomfort, it may not be enough. As a matter of fact, an awareness of the facts of your problem can certainly be a motivator for you – as in most social interactions and relationships, you may want help and support to reduce that experience. Although it may appear to be your fault, it is sometimes your fault. Regardless of your fault, you can make a change. This includes doing this by having your experiences addressed in terms of how you see yourself in life. It may be through writing and writing your own story,

The media always has something on the television about African Americans. Most of the time it is something negative, like murder or a drug bust; however, within the last few years there has been positive
