Racism is not about looks-its about discrimination

The journal-gazette runs an article about the incident at DePauw from the Associated Press. The article, Image discrimination: ‘The new racism’ discusses DePauw sorority evicting certain women from their sorority was simply about looks and had nothing to do with race. Even with the fact that one of the women was an African-American. This is a subtle way of making race irrelevant. The article suggest that folks are discriminated against based on their appearance and racial discrimination has ended!

But Rachel Pappas, a DePauw junior who was among several other members who left in protest, finds that hard to believe – and calls discrimination based on image “the new racism.”

“When you look at all these things and see that all of them have been eliminated, you wonder what it could be other than the image issue,” Pappas says.

Racial discrimination is placed in the background by society. Issues of racial discrimination are not discussed because it culturally acceptable in different circle. So silence protects the outing of these traditional practices that still exist today.

Indiana Law Blog posted about the law of Interracial dating. Interracial dating was forbidden in certain states including Indiana during the late 1960's. Now what does that mean? That means an African-American and a raced white were not permitted to date each other. This was the law. This law was enforced at home and in the social setting for young folks, school, churches. That means children were taught you can not date. I did not say anything about marriage. You could not like each other based on your race. This was the law of the land until 1965. This law was to maintain the southern way of life, Abraham lincoln's free, separate but not equal.

Loving

highlight the fact that laws were used to control how raced whites and African-Americans were limited in how they interacted with one another. Those who did decide to break the law would go to jail or have to flee those states that forbid miscegenation to prevent going to jail. To love and marriage in such union was criminal. Indiana Law blog used the article to highlight what is going on in the gay community. Not the same, same sex unions discrimination include African-Americans. The same sex battle is based on redefining who can marriage. That marriage is defined as a union between a man and woman.

In the court case Loving was between a man and woman. If man and woman could marriage, how could the law denied these two from marrying? It was race. From Loving,

There is patently no legitimate overriding purpose independent of invidious racial discrimination which justifies this classification. The fact that Virginia prohibits only interracial marriages involving white persons demonstrates that the racial classifications must stand on their own justification, as measures designed to maintain White Supremacy.

But African-Americans are to be stupid enough to go to the back of the line and fight for same sex marriage, while so many are telling them, shut up about racial discrimination.

Now we know all about Lincoln freeing the slaves. We know all about blacks getting the right to sit at counters. But families a little over 40 years ago was telling their children they could not date outside their race. Yes African Americans could go to school with raced whites, but you better not think about liking one another. From Loving,

Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix."

The subtleties of racial discrimination. On the blog, one blogger explained that the children from marrying outside of the race would be problematic. No, it is continuation of the old law that is held in the hearts of many raced whites when it comes to African-Americans.

This one of the reason why many raced whites chose not to live among African-Americans. Many raced whites tolerate African-Americans but they do not wish to integrate totally with African-Americans. Many races whites can go to lunch with African-Americans but they will not cross into the homes of each other. Many raced white has friends who are African-Americans who serve as window dressing friends. Someone who they can take to event requiring a diversity discourse.


It is truly acceptable to discriminate against African-American. Yes, it is against the law. But look at the majority of those who are enforcing the laws.

Racial animosity is notable, as on Where the hell am I post, for those who are not trying to tell African-Americans they need to go to the back of the line. This post weighs in on a writer who feels free to express in a magazine why he hates blacks. Disagree is one thing, hate. Who hates? You probably won't be able to find the actual article on AsianWeek, but it's posted out there. Because you can easily find hate for African-Americans throughout the blogosphere.

Racial discriminate is so indoctrinated in the America culture that is has a special protection. that special protection seal has been penetrated by gender bias and is not is trying to be penetrated by same sex advocate. But nothing is like racial discrimination.
