Labeling

Before I start, I would like for everyone that is not Black to leave the room right now. Since no one is moving, I suppose you believe that this label applies to you. After applying to Valley View University, in Accra, Ghana, and having my application rejected twice because of stating my ethnicity incorrectly, I found that the United States’ employs labeling more than any other country in the world. Labeling is the attempt to place a title on a certain ethnic group. It is allowed by answering questions of ethnicity on any standard form or application. Labeling has cause an identity crisis for the so-called “Black people” of America and has opened doors for different types of discrimination. First, let us examine our identities.

Let us suppose that the United States was given back to the Natives and everyone was told to go to their most dominant nationality. This is what would


In closing, the harmful affects of labeling can be avoided by removing the ethnicity questions off all forms and applications. No one is one hundred percent anything when it comes to ethnicity. Requiring someone to answer such a question is completely unjust. As far as labeling, keep in mind that you do not have to be told what you are to know who you are.

If we state out ethnicities within our own country, how should we recognize each other? We should recognize each other by location. For example, in place of ethnicity on an application, instead of marking Black or African American, I would put Tennesseeian or Tennessee, USA.

So if you are not to be labeled Black or African American, what are you to be recognized as? You should be recognized as an American. My final point, being acknowledged by where you are from rather than dividing ethnic groups, could take away some discrimination.
