Ever since the high school girls from Gainesville High School, Florida posted a really racist 14 minute video on Youtube, viewers of the video have been mad, and responded negatively. With over a million views on the video, death threats have been made against the girls as they casually bashed African-Americans for the public to see. Things that they were saying confused everyone watching as they spoke harshly about African-Americans for the public to see and implemented stereotypes. Now they cannot be forgotten. Everyone who has watched the video will always remember their faces and all the hatred that they spewed out. Disciplinary action was taken by the school’s principle and the girls have been said to be hiding. Although they took down …show more content…

This Youtube video emphasizes on how active people are on coming together on one subject-racism and as a community convicting these girls. One of the girls in the Youtube video was apologizing for being part of the racist rant video and just breaks down tries to explain that because it was posted on the Internet, anyone could view it and that was the worst part is she doesn't know how many people were affected by her comments. My goal is to stress on how privacy is impossible on Youtube and that you cannot have control over what you have already posted. Sites like Youtube are generally made for the public eye to view. When one posts a video on Youtube, they have to understand that although everyone has freedom of speech, having control on what has already been said and posted becomes very difficult. This video will effect both girls in their future job hunting and other aspects of their lives. In addition I will explore the connection that Youtube hashes with one’s privacy and how it is permanent on the …show more content…

The killings of Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, and a plethora of other Black Americans have shown that the manifestation of hate and fear towards individuals of color is still deeply rooted in the American culture. Furthermore, the systematic maltreatment of groups of people in America has extended far beyond just the black community; it has become painfully clear that members of the LGBTQ, Latinx, and Islamic communities are facing a similar level of

While watching the documentary it made me so upset to see numerous innocent black people get arrested because they were said to be a “criminal.” In reality, the DNA tests showed they were innocent, but because of the image that was portrayed to many all over the world of colored people, they were seen as guilty whether they really committed the crime or not. I believe this issue still occurs today. Even though it may not be as bad as it once was, it still occurs, and it is not okay. Due to the image, everyone still believes in, many colored people are seen as “bad” “scary” and “criminals.”

Time and time again, the same problems arise from the overfunding of police and the underfunding in communities of color. An example of this issue can be seen with the difference in Garden Heights compared to Starr’s school Williamson Prep, and how people from Garden Heights think that Starr believes she’s too good to be seen with them, while Starr has to be careful about her use of her dialect around people at Williamson Prep because she doesn’t want to be seen as “the Angry Black Girl” or even the “Weak Black Girl” (page 115). To summarize what we’ve discussed so far, The Hate U Give truly does a wonderful job of opening your eyes to the horrors of police brutality that many people of color face even

After I watched the documentary of The Central Park Five who tells the story of the five black and Latino teenagers from Harlem who were wrongly accused of raping a white woman in New York City's Central Park in 1989 I was left devastated and what I was watching was unbelievable, it shows me young Black and Hispanic boys were always in danger and were negatively seeing by the police. Racial injustice doesn’t just started, police brutality against blacks always existed. It was drastic to see how they were pressing these young boys that were only 14 and 16 years old. The way they were forcing them to lie about something they didn't do was terrified. Being only 14 and 16 years old their brains was weak, they were frustrated and scared and had

“The media as an institution drew heavily on racially charged images and ideas because those ideas and images helped sell products. For many years, we believed, not only was the institution plagued by racism, but racism became institutionalized within the industry” (Behnken & Smithers, 117). Media and news sources are exaggerated and televised to get viewers, which makes them money. The stories and stereotypes the media puts out for the world to see is for their personal gain. Media corporations do not think about African American lives and the reputations they destroy.

Today in class, we discussed a topic that is deeply engraved in American history yet widely avoided by many: race. More specifically, terms like “racist,” “All Lives Matter,” and “white privilege,” which may make some people uncomfortable but more than ever, need to be confronted and examined.
