Asad's+reflection+racism

In American history, racism has always been a prevalent theme. Ever since Americans first set foot on this soil, racial discrimination has always been implemented. First, we pushed the Indians westward as their population kept diminishing until they were nearly wiped out. In today's society, I personally believe that we are trying to be raised in a much more accepting environment as we are being taught not to discriminate and to accept each individual for who they are as a person, not who they are on the outside. The reason I picked the images and videos were because all of them had a common theme, and that was unity. They all tie in with the fact that we should not judge people based on skin color or other variable. The quotes are implemented in the wall in order to convey the message of the difference between colored and white, and just how horrible racism is. I picked the youtube videos because the first video is a short video talking about the stereotypes many people have about blacks, even when they come in the elevator dressed like businessmen. The Tupac video is on this wall to convey the message that our skin color should not make us more or less human. It talks about what actually happens to African-Americans as racial discrimination sets in. We have made great progress, yet there is still so much more that needs to be solved.
