Please reply to this two classmates in 150-250 words per classmates boss.
1/Racism has been a difficulty in the US for a lot of, a few years. From folks of shade getting used as slaves, to not having the ability to vote, to not even having the ability to eat in the identical place as white folks, folks of shade have been oppressed in alternative ways for a very long time. Extra lately, pores and skin shade has appeared to not have an effect on these sorts of issues as a lot any extra. Does this imply that we must always fake not to see the colour of individuals’s pores and skin as a result of now everyone seems to be given the identical alternatives? No, as a result of that’s not true. Coloration-blind racism is the ideology that everybody has the identical alternatives, regardless of pores and skin shade. This concept is generally utilized by white individuals who don’t, and have by no means handled oppression due to race. They’ve a tough time seeing that issues usually are not utterly equal and that individuals of shade wrestle day by day in issues they do not have to assume twice about. For instance, somebody not of shade could say to somebody of shade “don’t fret, I do not see you, no less than not that ‘dangerous’ coloured half”. This in itself is a racist assertion as a result of it implies the concept the colour of their pores and skin truly IS dangerous, and whoever stated it’s selecting to keep away from the truth that they’re racist or keep away from speaking about racism itself. Issues like this occur day by day and fixing them just isn’t straightforward as a result of no many individuals are open to altering their concepts. Creating consciousness about color-blind racism is an efficient begin to fixing racism as a complete.
2/ Folks love excuses. Coloration-blind racism is certainly one of them. Plenty of occasions, folks make excuses with out which means hurt behind it, for generally the reality is a nasty factor to see. A time period that comes to thoughts is, “Hear no evil, see no evil, communicate no evil.” So as to both reject actuality or else excuse racist habits, the general public makes use of color-blindness as a method to cowl up the truth that racism continues to be actual or else not be labeled as a racist for making a backhanded remark. I discover that lots of color-blind racism comes from stereotypes, that are oversimplifications of an individual’s character based mostly off of exteriors. I am fairly positive that we have all completed this at some second in our lives. It should not be excused, nevertheless it additionally should not be a distinction of an individual’s character. The unhappy factor is that we have a tendency to overanalyze color-blind racism in order to not take care of these macroaggressions which have particular methods to be resolved, akin to police brutality. We have been avoiding the difficulty in order to philosophize about ourselves and thus not get something completed. I do not know, possibly I am solely uninterested in listening to lots of words and never seeing sufficient optimistic actions.
