- 183: African Americans In The Post
- ... the country felt that slavery possessed a moral urgency . As the years passed and the whites began to reconcile, their economic goals rose to the forefront of their policy, while racism spread throughout the country and deepened in the South. Even with all of the good intentions and ideals expressed in the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, blacks watched as their ... had managed to reassert their status as masters to the Southern Blacks through scare tactics and economic policies . The Supreme Court between 1873 and 1898 expressed the weakness to resisting racism in all areas of the nation through its successive decisions. The Court prompted discrimination by implying that if blacks wanted legal protection, they would need to seek it from their state, not national, government. This legislation affected black citizen s across the country, but was especially damning to the Southern blacks. The amount of racism thriving in the Southern states made any chances of the State support of Black rights virtually nil. The Supreme Court supported the Southerners push for black social subordination, when ...

- 185: The Death Penalty: Justifiable
- ... nothing worse can happen to them, except mabey a few days of solitude. Nothing is stopping them from attempting more crimes in jail! Another point I must bring up, is racism in the decision about who should die. I will agree that there is some, but it is a simple problem with a simple solution. Diversify our jurys. In most cases, a group of people chosen randomly will be appointed to decide that fate of an accused murderer. If there is racism and sexism, then even out the number of minorities and sexes in the jury. But anyway, if we need to bag the death penalty because of racism and such, then we sure can't have prisons! Don't tell me there isn't either of those when the jail term is decided, because the truth is, ...
- 186: Tiger Woods
- By: Erica E-mail: SwtNSsy98@aol.com Biography of Tiger Woods "Let your clubs speak for you." Tiger Woods was too young to notice the racism around him. He didn't understand that in this world, people were judged by the color of their skin. He couldn't speak out about it; he couldn't voice ... golf as one of the youngest. He not only wanted to be the best black golfer; he wanted to be the b est golfer. The only way Tiger dealt with racism was to let his clubs do all the talking for him. The book starts off with Earl Woods, Tiger's father, during the Vietnam War. A sniper almost took out ... the story too much because it is about someone's life. If I could have changed a part of the book, I would probably have added what Tiger feels about racism now that he is older, instead of just reading "Let your clubs speak for you" time and time again throughout the book. It would have been interesting to read ...

- ... status and authority, the elite devised a plan or policy that would separate these two races and ensure something like this from taking place again. This policy was clear, intentional racism toward the blacks. it is said that in order for this rebellion to be prevented and to achieve the ultimate social order in the Chesapeake area depended on this factor ... reason was almost impossible. The next step to give whites a feeling of control was the issue of slavery where black people were mastered by whites for the most part.

As said racism was nothing more than a device of control of whites over blacks that killed all bonds between these two races and in so doing prevented any type of powerful ...

- 190: Black Like Me
- Black Like Me This story was an excellent idea by John Griffin to expose the true racism in the South. I wonder what motivated him to change his color also. I also want to know his views on racism. I wonder if George Levitan is still alive, the man who was the editor of Sepia. I also wonder if he had the first black magazine in the world. How ... begins to refer to them as "we" and "us." This gives me the impression that the black people were clinging on to each other strongly. Also I am sure that racism united the black race, but at a cost.
