Race
Most of these feelings towards another of a different skin color are deeply rooted in our minds from previous generations. Many, many years ago, African-Americans were used as slaves. The slave owners treated them badly. The owner’s own children then grew up with the same ideals and passed them on to the new generation. Through the years, people have spoke out about these ill-conceived ideas making the ominous threat of racism more discreet than ever before. While in a search online, I discovered a numbered list of Klu Klux Klan, Aryan, Skinhead, and many other white supremacist groups. I was shocked when I saw how many this one list had. It listed over 800 different groups. I know that number is not nearly accurate because there are many smaller groups that have not yet made themselves known publicly. Even people that do not belong in these racially biased groups perform some acts
One perfect example of true racial profiling and discrimination is this next story. Danny Glover, a famous African-American actor, was in New York City. It was late at night and he was trying to hail a cab. None of the cabs would stop and pick him up because of the fact that he was an African-American male. Stereotypical views like those of the cabby’s are not rare. When a black person does not wear baggy jeans or say slang phrases such as, "Yo homie, sup", people would often describe that particular person as being too "white". Similarly, if a white person plays basketball or listens to rap music, we might think of him or her as being too "black". All because of the stereotypical views implanted by the media and our ancestors in our brains. Movies, music, and yes, even Looney Tunes™, all put these ideas in our heads. Movies with the constant violence committed by minorities
