What is racism? After reading Chapter 5, you should have a better understanding of how race is culturally constructed and thus how notions of race can vary from culture to culture. You should also have a new understanding of the difference between individual racism and institutional racism. Both forms of racism have had a profound influence on the development of modern American culture, but individual racism often receives more attention in the media.
Research ONE the examples of racial violence, including the deaths of Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, and Alton Sterling, and consider how institutional racism may have played a role in the deaths of these men.Using the discussion board in HuskyCT:
A. Consider the incidents surrounding how these men died, and discuss what role institutional racism may have played in their death. This a sensitive topic, so be sure to choose your words carefully!
B. You should also incorporate more current examples of racial violence in recent weeks: George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and others, as well as anything else that resonates with you. Include any sources that you use in your post.
