Watch the video "Frontiers of Racism" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H0W97tLFHY&feature=pyv&ad=7602614251&kw=blacks. After watching the clip, explain how the new movement in our country against immigration is tied to historical racism. What myths have been spread, and what facts have been hidden? What is the true reason nativists oppose immigration?
Feel free to disagree with the perspective shown in the video, as long as your response relates to it.

I'm going to start this week's blog by saying racism is a very ingorant aspect of our society today. Racism is going to be apart of the human society forever. Racism comes from the heart.Law makers can pass all the laws in the land to make racism to make racism apeal not to be part of our society and by these laws you can't discrimnated against someone because of that person race. You can pass all the law until you blue in the face but you CAN'T change the way a person feels and what in their heart.Until those people have a change of heart and accept people regardless of the person skin color racism is going stick around until then.
ReplyDeleteSome of the myths that was said in the was The Battle of the Alamo that last thriteen day that help made texas a state.But the video explain that mexico was a country that slavery was against the law, so the battle of the alamos was the battle that was a battle to keep slavery and white supremacy alive.Also some of the other myths that was that immgrants was jobs away from african americans , the real reason why black unemployment is high in american is base on three factors : lack of education,job discrimination and attack on unionaztion. Some of the was hidden is that organaztion like the White Citizen Concil was committed to segration among black people, but the real truth is that they just was racist and they was not willing to change.
the true reason nativists oppose immigration because people by adding people to country it adding to the number of proplems we already have in the this country already(USA).
I agree with this video because this states all the fact from the myths to the facts. I feel like life is too short for racism and other problem that is affecting our society. Me personally I love everybody weather you black, white, purple or pink I don't justice a person by their race of the sterotypes that go along with that race , I justice people by their charcter and who their are as a person.
So this is my input on this week blog.

in the clips show you how the occosian people treat african american and latino american . that they couldnt vote . also slavery was not allowed in texas . so the white people had a war in texas was mexico to take texas from the mexicans people . and spearate them from texas. also it show you how immigration took jobs from african americans. so slavery was over and the white people couldnt tell slaves anything . because they was not their property anymore. the white people made a group called the ccc organzine . so made the school for white people only . african american and lation american came together to march for their freedom . and for equal rights . they didnt want immigration in america. so they took couldnt take people jobs . and the jobs didnt african american or lation american because the color of their skin . or they couldnt vote at all because they need a birth ceritate . to show them who they was.
