Good morning Vivian, 5/8/18, 6:13 AM (ET)
Still not talking to me.
We are just going to live out the rest of our lives and wither up and die without enjoying each others company proving what? Nothing!
Throughout my life I've watched people of color make one humongous error in judgment after the other without ever facing the truth that there is a reason why White/Caucasian and Asian people are the technological and progressive leaders in the world.
Kanye West after meeting with president Trump stated with pride he doesn't read books, in his attempt to align himself with Trump, because in the news it's reported Trump doesn't read books. Some Blacks are so easy to fool just because they have come into more money than the average person they actually believe they are geniuses. If

Dubai with all it's wealth is not wealthy because of their technological knowledge and inventions causing their advancements wealth wise, but only because other races of people from outside their country came in discovered their oil, established oil drilling and oil refineries that later the leaders of Dubai nationalized and took over the oil operation from the outsiders keeping the preponderance of the profits from the sale of oil for themselves and their people. If it wasn't for the oil they would be just another group of poor none white people.
People of color can't get pass their biases, excuses and a host of peccadilloes toward each other which prevent them from ever benefiting from each others knowledge and working together making those advances in all endeavors like whites and Asians.
What a waste of life and wellness it's only after becoming sick and/or feeble that some realized the enjoyment and achievements in life missed by not thinking for themselves, employing logic and common sense instead of allowing false pride to dictate the decisions he/she make in
It is interesting to note that, if a white person is lacking whiteness, the society will not point out the flaws of the person. However, if a person of color lacks whiteness, they are automatically put in an imaginary enclosed box, where we (Americans) judge or punish them for not being like us. It could all be because of fear, so our automatic reaction could be to fight back, distance ourselves and start using discriminatory practices against them. As long as Americans hold onto these biases and create this imaginary box for people of color, we are allowing millions of people to be in danger in our name.
It is evident that no matter how hard we try to avoid it race plays a major role in today’s society. Your race and/or nationality and skin color plays a lot in how you are seen and perceived by the world. The first thing you see when you look at a person is their skin color, which just
Imagine your son going out to the real world he has a kid and a wife then there's a knock on the door and you look thru the peephole and the cops and their heads are down and you're confused you open the door and they tell you “Ma’am your son has died”,and you say how they say he has been gunned down by an officer and you know your son was unarmed and you're confused because your son has nevered been doing something bad.This and every day thing you see to african american some are innocent and unarmed and they get shot by police because they say they were fighting back or they were about to pull out a gun and this happens everywhere and police brutality happens every state and everywhere and it mostly happens to african american and other races.
Society has structured us to believe that people of color do not prosper in life. I know it happens to many people when you are walking down the street you cannot help to feel intimidated by the colored man that walked passed you. It is because we are so adjusted to knowing they are the first to be convicted for assaults. Tim Wise (2012) states, “Yet despite all this we continue to believe, at least most of us, that people of color are taking advantage of “welfare” and that this is what explains everything from their own economic condition to the nation’s current budgetary woes” (p.47). Our tendency to believe that people of color or Hispanics live off welfare has not changed. I think this has a great deal to do with our sensing of people of color. We blame them for living off welfare and assume that the majority of them do since they are the ones that struggle in succeeding. This is due to the limitations that are placed on them when trying to better themselves. We have seen numerous people of color become professionals. Our President is a very intelligent black male that has made it this far despite the difficulties that people of color faced in our country.
I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.
In his documentary Tim Wise explains; how it is easy for whites to assume that they are not racist, that they are "post-racial." White Like Me also shows how these "colorblind" racial attitudes should not be the end goal or embraced. Instead, we as a society need to be “color conscious.” The goal of the video is to help individuals understand that racism is an issue faced by our whole society, not just by people of color, he also makes point that while many whites remain oblivious to racism, others have courageously challenged it.
I still remember when I met you. That prideful charisma you always carried. How can someone remain so confident being a Mexican immigrant during Trump's election? I often asked myself before I knew your story, before I knew what you had been through.
First, those leaders who demonstrate a colorblind perspective do so in varied ways. The variation is characterized by a version of what Bonilla-Silva refers to as minimization. According to Bonilla-Silva, the issue of minimization is that while “whites and blacks believe discrimination is still a problem, they dispute its salience as a factor explaining blacks’ collective standing” (p. 91). Among these leaders, minimization occurs in two types of school settings – either school settings with small populations of students of color or diverse high-poverty settings. In these settings, race is constructed as a non-issue or as insignificant in comparison to poverty and therefore ignored.
With the recent upheaval in Ferguson, Missouri, racial tensions have taken a center stage role in the daily lives of many Americans. Color-blindness remains the gut response to inequality, but this ignores the fact that heritage makes us inevitably different. Thus, the question, why does society continue to assimilate other races into a color-blind whiteness instead of recognizing and affirming difference?
It is known in American history that the colored people have not been accepted in society. I too have not been accepted in a group because of my skin color, that is one example of why true racial and social equality will never be achieved in America. As suggested in “To Kill A Mockingbird” racial inequality has been around for centuries and to this day the white community has not fully seen the error of their ways. The american society has been that way and the American society will never change without a strong leader.
Color-blindness remains the gut response to inequality among races, but this ignores the fact that heritage makes us inevitably different. Thus, the question, why does society continue to assimilate other races into a color-blind whiteness instead of recognizing and affirming difference?
Most of all, the recognition that society is still very much divided in color in all spheres of life. And this is the reality in which a lot of people encounters complex issues
As W.E.B Dubois once predicted that “the color line would one day become the foremost problem of the 20th century. The term color blind coined by Dubois was used to reference the racial segregation that existed during the slavery era. We learned earlier in a previous chapter about the in-group and out-group effect in society. People who usually tend to see others as indifferent from themselves results mostly in prejudices. Prejudices in our society refers to a negative attitude toward an entire category of people, often an ethnic or racial group. I personally don’t hold any prejudices against subordinate racial or ethnic group, however I believe that the reason why people prejudge frequently has to do with our ethnocentrism.
I have to admit that we are very blessed with so many beautiful and breathe taking cities in the world. Dubai is just one of the many countries which has advanced from their humble beginnings and today are multi million tourist. Dubai is another city which has moved from having not as much as other countries once did such as money and a stable economy, to one of the richest cities in the world. In 1966 oil was discovered in Dubai and was a catalyst for Dubai’s economic growth. From a country that had come from not having a stable economy and not a lot of money, it has become like I said earlier, one of the richest cities in the
The UAE is one of the riches nations in the world as measure by per capita GNP. The economy is primarily based on the oil
