As I look into the picture it shows three or so savage looking aboriginals hiding within the bushes holding spears in their hand about to attack some innocent white men.

Racist Towards The White People
542 wordsRacism is a very big issue. I think most people say things without realising they are being racist. This doesn t excuse their behaviour but most people don t think before they say things.

Hate For Black People
856 words"Open Your Mind" I am very concerned with the hate and bigotry going on in our world today. Over time, people have become more open-minded and less racist, but there is still much further to go for humanity.

It is understandable then, how people can become so closed-minded and racist. This should not be an excuse, however, for people to act the way they do. It is time the wo...

White People
681 wordsWhite Privilege After reading chapter Nine and the McIntosh piece, I completely agree with Peggy McIntosh's argument especially, when she said whites think of their lives as morally neutral and ideal.

It is this kind of thinking that allowed for colonialism, imperialism and all the other ism's that has made life hell for blac...
