The incident that recently
happened in Ferguson, Missouri stirred up much controversy in the world. I was
on Facebook about a week after the incident occurred one of my Facebook friend
posted his opinion of the incident asking for input. I was used to continuously
hearing about the Ferguson shooting, many people expressing their disgrace in
regard to this incident. This particular status caught my attention because he
stated “we blacks protest it is called rioting but when the whites protest it
is called positive protesting” I am on the fence with the black and white
racism, I believe it is embroidered. The reason that statues caught my attention
is due to a broadcast on CNN reiterating the same theory. I felt that my
personal feeling towards the matter were hurtful to my peers. Then it seems as
though this type of incident is reoccurring in the United States with zero
regard to any change for the future. My emotions were constantly up and down.
Recently another shooting occurred in Missouri same scenario I became the bitter
citizen feeling black and white racism is still in effect with no validity to
an African American life. Black is a color, white is a color. Caucasian is an ethnicity
African American is an ethnicity
Deondara, very true about the way media and everybody views the current issues. I live in Dallas and now I am reading a lot about the man who died due to the Ebola virus. How his family feels that because he was not American, not insured, he was not treated as well as a white person with insurance would have been treated. Also the name given to the virus is based on a river in Africa but the disease is being used for racial profiling!! Children of African origin are facing strange responses in school although the virus does not choose one race over another. When such a deadly virus is taking so many lives, it is sad to see how we humans are unable to unite and make this a thing about race!!! Very sad! Thanks for sharing about the media!
