I don't think it is a matter of people saying "I don't want to help", I think, in fact, that many people really do want to help. I think that people are so consumed with what's going on in the here and now in their own lives that donating money or time, or observing a few minutes of silence gets put on the bottom of the lists of things to do for the day. This donation of time or money or silence or whatever then eventually gets delayed so much that it is no longer relevant. We live in this culture that is so consumed with our own lives, and I think many of us often push these horrific tragedies aside after a few days because it does not directly effect us. As sad as it makes me feel to write this, I think it is very true.

I will admit that when I think of prisons, I think of men and women, who have done horrible deeds to society. When I hear about a killing, I normally have no sympathy or compassion for the killer because they just took someone's life for their own fulfillment or personal quest. I have no sympathy for those who have no compassion for others. Then, I read this letter and read that most of these prisoners are regular people. The man who wrote this letter made some very profound statements, and it made me reevaluate my thinking of those in our prisons. It is hard for me to get over the fact that this man took someone else's life, but I do feel a sense of compassion for him. I have no idea who this man is, but it seems like he has grown tremendously from where he was.

I used to get mad about illegal immigrants coming to the United States and "taking" jobs from Americans who needed and wanted them. The more I started to think about it though, most immigrants are not "taking" jobs from Americans. In fact, many of the jobs that immigrants take, are jobs that many Americans refuse to do. There is this idea of pride in America where many homeless people and people who have been laid off refuse to take some of these jobs that immigrants will happily take. Many illegal immigrants take these jobs because they want to build a better life for their families. I know a very smart man who was laid off, and has remained jobless for years because nothing is up to his standards. If that were me, I would take almost any job to support my family. Maybe working at McDonalds or picking fruit from a pear field in California is not the most glorified of jobs, but they are jobs that will help an individual to support himself and/or his family. Many immigrants come with nothing, but a goal to make a better life. If they are working hard to provide better lives, then really what is the issue. It is kind of like what Sam said in the beginning of the semester. Many Americans just happened to be lucky enough (or unlucky enough depending on your views) to be born here in the United States, so why does that give us the right to decide who can and cannot come into this country? Just because we were born here, we get to make these decisions? If were getting technical, almost all of us are children of immigrants because there was no one on this land before the English took over other than the Native Americans. Many of us know people in prior generations who immigrated here. Those who do have the money to immigrate legally in the first place are probably living well beyond the standard of living in their original country. They may not be the ones who need the change the most. The problem is though, if we start to relax our rules on immigration, where do you draw the line of cheating the system? Moving to a new country with different rules and customs and different ways of living is huge so to just relax border patrol to allow anyone into the country is not going to work. There needs to be some type of system in place to still be selective about living in US. The problem is, so if we allow illegal immigrants to stay and come to the US with no problem, how do we address other hot button issues?

We have a tendency in the United States to group people together based on their looks, religion, etc. The majority of Muslims are not like Osama Bin Laden, nor do they believe the same way he does, yet we just assume. For example, even in the airports, I still see extra background checks on Middle Eastern men and women just because they are dressed a certain way, so they are automatically assumed "suspicious." We have to remember that everyone is different and not one view or person represents an entire group of people. Fri, 16 Apr 2010 20:26:08 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/the-tyranny-of-radical-muslims__trashed/#IDComment68423035 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/christian-invaders-the-turnaround__trashed/#IDComment68421733 Today's lecture was one of the few lectures that I have found truly and incredibly eye opening. Never in a million years would I have thought I would be able to see where the Arab Muslims are coming from, but after today's lecture I do. After the Jihad video, I got goosebumps. Just seeing all the death and destruction made me so angry. And then I saw the videos of the "Christian Invaders" trying to convert the Arab Muslims to Christianity, and I saw prominent political leaders saying that these people need to be gone, and that this war is from G-d, and then as an American, I was embarrassed. If we are fighting this war as a "crusade" or as a mission from G-d, are we not trying to do some of the same things as these radicalists are? I am not saying I agree by any means with what the radicalists are doing because I think it is unhumane, but I'm saying that I could see the viewpoint of the Arab Muslim. It made me angry when one missionary even said something to the effect of "well they might die now, but they will have a better after life." The line that got me was when Sam kept saying "Well we (as Americans) know that these are just a few knuckleheads, but you (Arab Muslims) don't know that" just as we (as Americans) don't necessarily know the good going on in these places. I just found today's lecture to be extremely eye opening. Fri, 16 Apr 2010 20:14:56 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/christian-invaders-the-turnaround__trashed/#IDComment68421733 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/women__trashed/#IDComment68419655 I thought the play that Laurie put together was really eye opening. Although I agree with what this student says, "that we are all beautiful", I think as a society we do not act like that. As a woman, I think I am judged on appearance more than men. We have been taught, and socialized as a society that women have to look presentable. I think that women are judged much more quickly on their appearance, and it is to an extent acceptable in our society for men to voice how they feel about the appearance of a woman. Although we are all taught that we are beautiful the way we are, and beauty comes from within and all the other cliche sayings many women have been taught since they were children, society believes otherwise. Just watching an hour of tv, or flipping thorough a magazine, or surfing the internet one gets a very different picture of what "beauty" is. These forms of media are buried under advertisements selling ways to make women look better, lose weight, change their hair color, their eye color (color contacts), their skin color, their clothes and so on and so forth. As a woman, I find it hard to have that self confidence when everywhere I look, someone or something is telling me that I need to be skinnier or prettier, or I need to change my hair color, or makeup because the latest fad says my style isn't pretty. I know the student in this blog said that there are both "voluptuous and thin celebrities", but look at the celebrities who are gracing the covers of magazines; they are the Barbie shaped models who are interviewed about how they stay in shape and their cosmetic routines. As a society, we obsessed with our appearances. In the beginning of the semester, we even talked about women who are bleaching their skin to be "whiter." In addition, you turn on the tv and all you see are women with big boobs, tiny wastes, perfect hair, perfect teeth, perfect clothes. Although most of us our not celebrities, this is what our society advertises for women; this idea of being perfect, and the reality is that no one is perfect. I think Laurie's play is interesting because it shows the constant struggle women go through with their bodies. Although I can only speak for women, the majority of us always see that one thing we would love to change every time we look in the mirror. Personally, I think the prettiest thing a woman can have is her self confidence, but in today's society, that is not necessarily good enough. For a lot of women, being beautiful is keeping up with the latest fads.

I still have many of the same opinions that I had before, but some of Sam's points have just made me reevaluate the reasons that I do believe something. I think the most eye opening lecture for me, was yesterday's lecture and video. I knew there was modern day slavery, but to me that video made much more of an impact on me than the book because I could actually visualize it. I think that Sam's lectures just make me think more rather than change my opinion because he doesn't sugar coat things; he tells it like it is. Fri, 9 Apr 2010 18:27:59 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/i-really-want-to-know-also__trashed/#IDComment66849454 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/this-is-totally-off-the-hook__trashed/#IDComment66847997 As Sam said we were going to say, these games are 'sick and disgusting'. I am completely disgusted that someone was not only thinking about rape in general, but had the audacity to think that this would make a good video game. This CNN clip literally makes me sick to my stomach. Even the details of the game are unbearable. How does someone sit around and think "Oh let's make a video game in which a male seeks revenge by raping a woman, touching her breasts and butt, and lifting up her skirt in a subway! yeah that's a great idea! Let's do it!" Whoever is thinking this in the first place needs to seriously reevaluate themselves. It brings us back to this idea that women are nothing more than objects. This video game is saying "yeah women have no thoughts or feelings or ideas". The worse part is that not only did the creator think this was a good idea, but also other people had to have too or else the game would not be in stores right now. Multiple people had to accept this idea. I'm not sure exactly how video games are created, but I'm pretty sure it takes multiple steps and no one said anything. The sad part is that there are hundreds of other games right on the shelves next to this game. To a certain extent, I don't think that things should be censored. I think that parents should be responsible for deciding what their children do and do not watch, and that an individual should be able to choose whether or not to watch something in particular. These games, however, are ridiculous. I know I keep saying this but it just boggles my mind how people think this stuff is okay. I'm glad that this game has been taken off the shelves, but there are so many more like it. In one of my classes we are talking about the effects of media on individuals, especially children, and studies have found that when individuals play violent video games, they are more likely to become desensitized to violence, and are more likely to act out in the same ways in which they have just seen. This means that for many of those playing these games, they are probably thinking that this stuff is ok and may even be more inclined to do it in real life. Even if these games are taken off the shelves, the fact that they are readily available on the internet makes it more scary. It is also concerning, that the Japanese government does not even seem to care. The CNN clip states that the Japanese government have the right to censor things so why is this not being censored? Why are the Japanese government just letting this go?

We label everyone regardless of whether the title is official or not, so I think that we still all be labeled the same way. Second, while I could see where this student is going, I think that the welfare system is necessary for many. Although there are some who take advantage of the system, many people try their bests to keep jobs and provide for their self and their families. Even though getting rid of welfare may force those who take advantage of the system to work harder to find jobs or a means of living, I think we would be hurting a lot of people too who need this help to survive.

Although I do not feel like a win/lose heading is necessarily appropriate for this topc, I don't think we can win. I thought it was really interesting when Sam brought up the LL Bean catologue ads and said something to the effect that these are "fake black people". I don't understand why they are "fake". Is it because they're not dressed as how we stereotypically think of black people? Are they fake for going on vacation? I think this is why we can't "win" though because although I did not find Sam's jokes about the family in the pictures funny, many people did. I don't think we're ever all on a close enough page in order to seriously fix views on race. Fri, 2 Apr 2010 14:47:09 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/how-can-we-ever-win__trashed/#IDComment65560438 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/nothing-about-the-census-is-easy__trashed/#IDComment65375901 I remember at the beginning of the semester when Sam in trying to make a point stated that the term "negro" was still on the Census. I was a little offended when I learned about that because in our society we try to be so politically correct, and I have been taught from a very young age that the term "negro" is certainly not politically correct. Then I remember Sam saying that tons and tons of research and time goes into determining how people view their race, and that if "negro" is not on the Census, many older blacks will write it in. After watching this video I thought it was interesting to see how two black people said that the term on the census was completely unnecessary and offensive while the other guy said he completely understood although that would not be the first term that he chose. I started to think about the comment that the guy made saying that this term is part of history. People may get angry with me for saying this, but maybe some people are ok with this term because for some African Americans, this term is part of their ancestry and history which contributed to who they are today. This term was used during slavery, and although I don't agree with it, many people do choose the term today. It is obviously more than just a few people who choose it because otherwise it would not be on the Census. I think the other interesting thing too is that it seems to be that other races are more offended by the term than black people. I think that white people especially, as we have talked about in class, have always been taught not to see color and have been taught not to use these derogatory terms. Often times though, you do hear people of color calling each other these terms. It's interesting, but I think that white people and people of other races may actually be more offended when these terms are used because we have always been taught not to use them. When terms like these are used on the Census, it throws people for a loop because it goes against what we have been taught. The government is sending out official forms using these words that many of us have been taught never to repeat. I think the other interesting thing about this video was when one woman was saying she's from Puerto Rico, but her family is Cuban, but she's also American. The government is trying to establish different ethnicities and races, but yet it groups people of general similarities together. It doesn't take into account all of our differences. This relates to one of last week's posts when someone asked if people realize the different groups of Asians. The government does not take the time to figure out how we are all completely different, so although someone may check Asian, one group of Asians may be completely and utterly different from a different group of Asians. In the end though, not everyone is going to be happy with the terms used on the Census. If we look back to the notes from earlier in the semester that showed the pie charts of what people preferred to be called in terms of race, although there was a general consensus, not everyone agreed on the same term for what the prefer to be called. I think the government does the best they can to try to include everyone in the Census with how they see themselves.

I think that in our society people just tend to group others together. It's interesting because when we talk about white people in regards to different countries people differentiate themselves, at least in the US. When we talk about Asian people, among other groups, unfortunately, I don't think we tend to differentiate. As a society, I don't think we are educated enough on the different groups to make the distinction. Even though people who are often grouped together are so different, I think that we tend to see them as one group. I don't think people really think about how we really are all different.

I think it is interesting how she compared her period to the sunrise or the seasons because those are both such natural things. She made a good point that even though many women are in pain every 28, 29, 30, however many days, we try to hide it and pretend it isn't there. Most women don't openly complain about the bloating, the cramps, or whatever other fun side effects come with a woman's period, but rather we just hide it and pretend like nothing is wrong. Fri, 26 Mar 2010 01:47:53 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/in-her-own-words__trashed/#IDComment64128157 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/whats-the-big-deal-with-periods__trashed/#IDComment64126796 When Sam started talking about his wife's "bleeding" I got very uncomfortable. My friends and I sat there giggling looking at each other thinking "Is he really talking about this right now? What is going on?" My friends and I also laughed at the fact that so many people got up to leave when Sam made this comment. I sat there thinking, "If my husband ever told this stuff to a 600 person lecture class about me, I would kill him!" After class ended though, I started to think about what had happened and the comments that had been made, and then I thought "Well, why did that comment make me so uncomfortable? Why were the majority of people laughing because they were uncomfortable?" I mean, people were obviously not laughing because the topic was funny...there's nothing really funny about blood. The more I thought about it, the more I realized what a taboo the topic of menstruation is. It's just one of those things that many people refuse to talk about. I even feel awkward writing this blog, but why should I? Menstruating, periods, bleeding, whatever you want to call it is a natural thing and women should not feel ashamed or embarrassed about it. It is actually a good thing because it means that women are able to have children in the future. Although it is not a topic I think about often, for the first time I really thought, "Why should women be embarrassed?" I mean men talk about things all the time that make women uncomfortable, but that doesn't stop them. The comment Sam made today about it being "a man's world" really stuck with me. I've heard that phrase a million times, but for some reason today it made me think. Most women I know openly talk about their periods with their female friends, but as soon a male comes around, many women just stop because men get grossed out. What makes us just stop talking because a man walks by; men probably would not stop their conversation for a women. After all, having a period is natural so why did so many people feel the need to walk out? It's not like we don't all know that women menstruate, so it makes me wonder why we all got so uncomfortable during that comment. The comment about it being art is kind of going overboard, at least to me, but don't we all bleed? It's not just women. People don't get uncomfortable if a man falls and starts to bleed. From a young age, I feel like we have been taught not to talk about it. For example, in sex ed class we never talked about it, or if we did the boys and girls were split up. Maybe its just uncomfortable because men cannot really relate to women in this respect, but whatever it is I find it interesting how taboo the topic is. Fri, 26 Mar 2010 01:34:21 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/whats-the-big-deal-with-periods__trashed/#IDComment64126796 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/what-happens-to-multiracial-people__trashed/#IDComment63018105 I think this is a really great question. This is not something that I have really thought about before listening to this post. As a society we often categorize people, and we often categorize people in the most general categories. White, black, Asian, Hispanic, women, men. I don't think we really think about the people who identify with more than one group. In fact, many people do often identify with multiple groups but in general we make them pick one. I could see how your friend has issues identifying with a group since we are often asked to respond to questions as if we are sitting on opposite sides of a fence. Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:57:43 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/what-happens-to-multiracial-people__trashed/#IDComment63018105 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/does-this-rudeness-thing-cut-both-ways__trashed/#IDComment63016768 I think the question that this student asks is a really good question. I have noticed the same thing too in class. In some cases, the class reacts negatively to rude comments posted by "white" people, but may laugh when rude comments are made by "people of color". I use quotation marks because even though we think that specifically white people or people of color are answering the questions we really don't know who is answering what question. This also ties in with this whole idea of political correctness we talked about this week. People feel ok to text rude comments because they know that the answer will not be associated with them. An individual would most likely never say that comment out loud, however, because then everyone would know who made that comment and how that individual feels. This may in turn characterize an individual as racist. I do think the responses though pose a double standard. Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:46:17 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/does-this-rudeness-thing-cut-both-ways__trashed/#IDComment63016768 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/women-and-sports__trashed/#IDComment63013926 I think it is awesome that Natalie Randolph is getting to coach the football team. We say that men and women are equal, but that is certainly not the case. For example, if we were all equal, it would not be so shocking that at the beginning of the presidential campaign a woman would be running for president. If we were looking at the presidential candidates as equals, then we would look to Hilary Clinton as just another candidate running, rather than a woman running for president. So in that respect, it is not surprising, but rather exciting that a woman is going to coach what is traditionally thought of as a male dominated sport. I think she is definitely going to meet a lot of hardships though. Football tends to be a male dominated sport, and many guys who I know who play football have to be the macho man. Therefore, I feel that the team may undermine Randolph to some extent simply because she is not a guy. On the other hand though, there has to be more to her than just this sweet and innocent persona she portrays. As Sam and a few other people said when she puts the pads on she probably gets a lot more aggressive. She's played football, she knows the sport, she understands it, so she has to get that fight in her when that clock starts. It is refreshing to see a confident, smart, intelligent, woman of color in a leadership position. I think that it is also really cool to see her as so laid back in the interview. It seems that to her, this position is just another job that she will work hard at and not a monumental experience. Although she may be down playing the situation, I think in her head she has to have been thinking at some point that she does have something to prove. Even though people may not be saying it, men and women are not equal, so men and maybe even some women are probably rooting for her to fail. It surprises me when people actually criticize a woman in this position to make a difference because it really shows how far we still have to go to all be on the same level. I think that the position she has secured is an amazing accomplishment! This is an amazing story though because often times, it just takes one person to break into the mix leading the way for others. Natalie's break into the often male dominated sports world may lead the way for other women coaches. Who knows, maybe one day there could be a woman who is an NFL coach. I think it is a big deal because hiring a black woman to coach a football team is one step closer towards equality and lessening gender differences.

I don't understand why Hollister, or any store should be allowed to discriminate against an individual who is complying with what the company wanted her to do. They told her to wear blue, black or white and that's what she did. In addition, her headscarf isn't hurting anyone. It isn't like her scarf is a gang symbol or something, its simply part of her religion. It is unacceptable that places like Hollister are able to discriminate against people who don't look like their cookie cutter white model when these people are willing to work hard to complete their job requirements.

This student poses a very interesting question. It makes me realize that even though I always think we have such a far way to go, we really have come a long long way. I think that slave owners would be "appalled" as a previous student stated. We do have a lot of talented blacks, Asians, Native Americans, Hispanics and other people of color who are making an incredible difference in our world. People of all races and colors are changing this world and succeeding. We should have a sense of accomplishment as to how far we have come in our society. Mon, 8 Mar 2010 21:14:12 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/02/a-long-long-way-indeed__trashed/#IDComment60518759 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/02/why-is-this-racist-really__trashed/#IDComment59899403 The idea of an "all white basketball team" is an issue that goes far beyond a sports game. It entangles so many issues we are arguing over in our society today. While I do not agree with Moose's reasoning behind the team which is that other "professional teams carry guns and attack fans" I do not think that he is blatantly racist. Although I do not agree with the idea of putting together an "all white basketball team" the concept makes one think. I feel that in a way, just as there is a double standard for males and females, there is a double standard for race. We don't even need to look at world examples, we see it here at Penn State. First, we claim that we are a diverse campus, but when I look around I don't really see that. When there is diversity, we tend to stay with people within our same racial group. You can sit in the HUB and look around, and the majority of the time, the blacks are with the blacks, whites are with the whites, Asians with Asians and so forth. So in a way, we already divide ourselves into racial groups because unfortunately that is what society has taught us. Ok so let's look more specifically at activities set up to only include one race like Moose's basketball team. One example, is that every year in the Homecoming parade we have a Mr. and Miss Black Penn State. We talk about equality, but yet we constantly do things to distinguish ourselves from others. When people see the Mr. and Miss Black Penn State come down in that car, they cheer, but what if there was a Mr. and Miss White Penn State? People would be outraged, including myself. In addition, we have many greek life organizations, that are all black, but if we had strictly white sororities( I know there are many of these unofficially) then there would be public outcry. There are also other clubs and organizations that are strictly for people of color. My point is that although race is not about winning and losing, no one can really come out on top. If a person of color came out and said he wanted to start a basketball team only consisting of people of color, he would probably be cheered, but a white individual is considered racist. In a way, whites can't "win" because they're damned if they do, damned if they don't. So I guess after venting all this, I do think that Moose is being discriminatory, just like events or sports only asking for all black, brown, yellow, blue or red people is discriminating against every other group. I know that where we come from is extremely important, but this discrimination track works both ways, and it's unfortunate that in 2010 we all still try so hard to distinguish ourselves from one another rather than trying to get along.
