Racism

Essay

Racism and colonialism are two different historic aspects that dominate human nature. Colonialism according to the American history occurred as an invasion and, depression to the citizens.  The colonizers were able to attain their goals by turning in to racism thus, rationalizing repression. In early America racism was considered as the basic allotment of humanity whereby, it encompassed of the cultural as well as physical traits. Through racism, the foundation of colonization was formed thus leading to enslavement of innocent Americans. Racism and colonialism share a common bond which is the American Exceptional (Gotkowitz, 2011).

America colonialism generated the exceptional because, before individuals considered themselves as unified.  There is a connection in history where one occurrence is a cause to the other therefore; various moral characters have passed from generations to generations. In recent days the society have treated racism as a built in as well as, natural product of racism. The historical relation between the two shows that, individual differences have been generated by disrespect toward other individuals. Assumptions have been made that, race and colonialism are the representation on individual’s physical differences .Racism appears as the major exception in America whereby; it difference was the cause of behavior and integrity. Though colonialism was major American problem, racism still is a reproductive ethnic stereotype (Gotkowitz, 2011).

The American Exceptional on race and colonization has a strong bond because, they generates a characteristic of everyday life for the black individuals in the nation. According to History 1301 on American history colonialism lead to un-ease interaction between different people, racial oppression and slavery. Life was made harder especially on the exceptions where, they could not accept slavery as a fact. Historic records suggest that slavery is the major system of race and colonial relation (Gotkowitz, 2011).

Article

In the recent days, racism has been turned into a criminal act whereby the victims are incarcerated in the State prison across the country. The article suggests that the criminal justice system has failed that, no crime is accomplished without the acknowledgement of cultural or ethical discrepancy. Michel Foucault's article aims at exposing disparity in the criminal justice system which appears to be so hidden. The criminal justice system has been creating a hierarchy, targeting on the black skinned individuals. Racism and other connected distinctiveness can be a powerful source of cohesion, but with the strong criminal justice in the nation the power is limited (Pemberton, 2015).

The American exceptional are discriminated according to their race in that, individuals in prison are prisoner in the state level rather than the federal level. The article does not favor the criminal justice since, racists in the nation is it only concern. The police are the people entrusted by the government on everyone’s protection thus; African-American finds it deferent through the harassment and abuse they face. Michel Foucault's suggests that it has become a habit, of believing that law offenders are blacks. When we think of racism, the thought of slavery comes first whereby it is the criminal justice that is irresponsible. The criminal and justice department is filled with internment and racism, whereby the Americans are unaware of it. The societies are also spoiled with the race discrimination habit whereby, the first image of a criminal is of the black. The only thing that keeps the racist strong in this land is their knowledge on how the law works. Many individuals especially the blacks were horrified by the brutality of racism and, were so eager to stop it (Pemberton, 2015).
