racism | Although many years have passed since the massive “immigration waves” flew into France, many reforms and laws have been worked out and approved in order to facilitate their integration and many steps have been undertaken to equalize the immigrants with the indigenous French, the reality still does not show the desired ... |
racism | In fact some seats of a certain French civil war have already broken out with the rioting in the French capital and a number of cities all over France. “Bands of youths in cawls start by setting fire to parked cars, break shop windows with baseball bats, wreck public telephones and ransack cinemas, libraries and school... |
racism | In Clichy itself, more than 80% of the inhabitants are Muslim immigrants or their children, mostly from Arab and black Africa. In other affected towns, the Muslim immigrant community accounts for 30% to 60% of the population. But these are not the figures that matter the most. The main problem consists in inequal chanc... |
racism | Moreover, in these suburban towns, built in the 1950s in imitation of the Soviet social housing of the Stalinist era, people live in crammed conditions, sometimes several generations in a tiny apartment, and see “real French life” only on television. As a result, this discrimination and intolerance of the immigrants by... |
racism | In some areas, it is even possible for an immigrant or his descendants to spend a whole life without ever encountering the need to speak French or to let alone familiarize himself with any aspect of the famous French culture. The result is often alienation which in turn gives the radical Islamists an opportunity to pro... |
racism | In fact, in some parts of France, this system is already in place. In these areas, all women are obliged to wear the standardized Islamist “hijab” while most men grow their beards to the length prescribed by the sheiks. The radicals have managed to chase away French shopkeepers selling alcohol and pork products, forced... |
racism | It is now clear that a good portion of France’s Muslims not only refuse to assimilate into “the superior French culture,” but firmly believe that Islam offers the highest forms of life to which all mankind should aspire. In the end the image becomes even darker if one takes into account the constant decreasing birth-ra... |
racism | Hundreds of Muslim ghettos are already de facto following sharia, not thr French law. And in twenty years one person out of four in France will be Muslim and almost certainly poor and angry. What are then the future prospects of the multicultural France? Is is really multiculturalism to be blamed for the disastrous sit... |
racism | Slums and ghettoes in the banlieus, a racism against Arabs and foreigners that dare not speak its name, Muslim youngsters living a thug’s life of radical Islam, violence and drugs, widespread anti-Semitism, high rates of unemployment… Now all of this is actually the outcome of the “once-glorious” France that has been s... |
racism | Some believe that France will quietly become a Muslim country, others are afraid of a civil war in the near future. All in all, for now there is only one thing unquestionable. France finds itself in an irreversible battle for preservation of its national culture and identity which it has been forming for more than fift... |
racism | At worst, in the apocalyptic scenario it will have to face the total extinction of the French culture in its proper homeland. Conclusion Undoubtedly, the current situation of the multiculturalism “a la francaise“ is not in an enviable position. The collision of two irreconcilable civilisations, the one of the East and ... |
racism | Which of these two afforecited societies would eventually prevail and assume the dominant role on the French and most probably the whole European soil will show only the time. However for the multiculturalism it is not impossible that some troublesome times might arrive and could even result in another World War with a... |

racism | 1) Source B is not a reliable source when investigating the extent of discrimination black immigrants faced in trying to find work in 1956. The aim of the interview was to expose the ‘colour bar’ at British Railways, the company would not be willing to let the public know of any discrimination as they had already made ... |
racism | The interviewees are both significant workers for British Railways, so they should be clear on the matter of how the company should treat discrimination. However they both seem to have different reasons on why the men were turned away, they also seem unsure about what they are saying (‘Er, well, erm’) showing they are ... |
racism | 2) Source A may possibly be useful for a historian investigating the difficulties facing black immigrants looking for accommodation in the 1950’s. Miller explains the difficulty of finding somewhere to stay, however he only states how awkward it was to find accommodation when searching on ‘the board’, there is no evide... |
racism | The source was quoted by an immigrant in 1949, so it was first hand and had not been passed on by different people. Source C supports what Miller is claiming with examples of notices, which makes the source more reliable. Source A does not say why it was quoted apart from it was published in a book 49 years later. From... |
racism | Source C could be useful to a historian. The signs reading, ‘no coloureds etc’, support the idea of the ‘colour bar’. We can ensure it is reliable because it is a photograph and does not look in anyway set up. It does not reveal why it was taken. This source also supports the fact that only 15 out of 1000 white people ... |
racism | Source D would not be useful to a historian investigating the difficulties in getting accommodation in the 1950’s. It does not say anything about there being any sort of problem with the immigrants finding housing, only about the high rent being charged once they had found a place. The source was written by Robert Pear... |
racism | 3) I do not agree with the statement, ‘in the period 1949-1959 Black immigrants faced only discrimination and prejudice from whites.’ This is because there is evidence (including from sources) that show not all white people were racist at that time. Although source B is stating that black immigrants are not always welc... |
racism | Source F supports my idea; it is saying that ‘it was acts of kindness by individual white people that kept many black people from going when life in Britain seemed particularly bleak.’ This account reveals that there were white people that wanted to help black immigrants settle in Britain and not go out of their way to... |
racism | So overall, when we have looked at all the sources provided and used other statements quoted we can see that, ‘In the period 1949-1959 Black immigrants faced only discrimination and prejudice form whites’, is not entirely true. I did not think sources A, C and G were useful towards the question first asked; they did no... |
racism | At the first sight, and as far as the subject is concerned, the poem “Mort aux Chats” by Peter Porter is a prejudiced total enumeration of insults and accusations of cats, as generalization and no provision of any valid evidence are to be found. The narrator can clearly be distinguished from the poet, since the narrato... |
racism | There is a lot of evidence of the poet wanting to display how propaganda works and what effects it has, as well as to illustrate the ridiculousness of the prejudiced, stereotyped behaviour and way of thinking of National Socialists, especially of those who were discriminating against and persecuting Jews in power in Ge... |
racism | ”, “They don’t deserve a capital C”, “When I dream of God I see a Massacre of Cats”). However, this intellectual link is made use of to pursue another idea, namely that prejudice, even the everyday-life one, will lead to intolerance of minorities, racism, xenophobia and eventually genocide (“Death to all cats!”, “There... |
racism | In my view, the first-person narrator can be interpreted ambiguously. On the one hand, he seems to be significantly obsessed with the doctrine of National Socialism, since he uses “facts” German anti-Semites used to quote to justify their behaviour and attitude, however odd, incorrect, unreasonable or grotesque they we... |
racism | In addition, German National Socialists dreamt of “The Rule of (them) [..[ (that) should last a thousand years!”. The act of killing cats, or, as in this case, Jews, is also of religious significance to the narrator, moreover, it is almost a sacred calling to him (“When I dream of God, I see a Massacre of Cats”). Anti-... |
racism | He then goes on enumerating for what reasons he thinks cats must be eradicated. For this reason, he must have formed his opinion about cats beforehand, now wanting to convince the recipient, to bias him and his opinion. Hence, he uses methods that have been used for the purpose of propaganda, which is a specific type o... |
racism | Another example that supports the impression of propaganda is the anapher of the word “cats” in four of five successive lines, that is like pointing one’s finger at them, showing that they are guilty, insulting them not only with words but also with the help of repetition, that keeps the focus and the attention of the ... |
racism | On the other hand, it can be argued that this allusion to National Socialism and discrimination against the Jews serves a higher purpose, namely to practise social criticism and suggest that bias and prejudice will inevitably lead to racism and genocide, reinforced by bringing to mind all the cruelties associated with ... |
racism | The poem consists of one 36-lined stanza showing free verse, which creates a prosaic feel throughout the poem. The irregularity of free verse adds to the oddness, satire and absurdness of the narrator’s statements, such as “I blame my headache and my plants dying on to cats.”. Predominantly, the phrases finish with str... |
racism | The tone in the poem changes from the beginning to the end. At first the narrator uses short, clear sentences and sounds rational as well as not emotionally engaged (“Cats spread infections”). As the poem goes on, the narrator uses longer sentences (“Perhaps they are all right in their own country but their traditions ... |
racism | Throughout the whole poem, the relationship between “cats”, and “dogs” is used as an extended metaphor, combined with a personification in some parts (“Why should they insist on their own language and religion”). Although frequently “cats” seem to represent Jews, as in “They don’t deserve a capital C”, for instance, mo... |
racism | To sum up, Porter’s concern here is to convey that prejudice and intolerance is the source of racism and may eventually lead to genocide. Therefore, thoughts have to be examined and not everything believed straightaway without having any proof of it. Furthermore, the danger of prejudice is displayed in the poem , as we... |
racism | Today in America there are many who assume that racism does not exist as it did in the forties, fifties, and sixties. Racism today is not as dangerous as it once was, but that does not mean that it does not hurt people just as much. There are many who think we have solved our racial problems and that African Americans ... |
racism | Malcolm X once said, “If you’re born in America with a black skin, you’re born in a prison.” From reading Lenita McClain’s “The Middle Class Black’s Burden” and Shelby Steele’s “On Being Black and Middle Class” the reader concludes that middle class blacks are judged unfairly by whites and other blacks through an exami... |
racism | Racism today exists in many different forms. There are many people who, all their lives, were brought up to believe that black people are of a lesser standard. It is no wonder that many people think African Americans perform inadequately even though these African Americans produce a high quality satisfaction. The peopl... |
racism | Lenita McClain states, “I am burdened daily with showing whites that blacks are people.” Shelby Steele asks, “After all, since when had white Americans taken note of anything but color when it came it blacks?” Our nation, which is supposed to preserve equal rights to everyone, is weakened when certain Americans feel th... |
racism | Some might argue that blacks and whites are equal, but it is obvious through these essays that this is not so. If being stereotyped by some white people is not enough, many middle class blacks are ridiculed by many lower class blacks. It seems that some financially unstable African Americans consider middle and upper c... |
racism | A person should not judged because of skin color or financial standing. A person should be judged on the content of his or her inner morals and character. Victimization has caused much sorrow in the lives of many African Americans. Many blacks are made to feel that there is no place of serenity. Many whites make them f... |
racism | Many blacks today still fight for their rights, one of which is the right not to be victimized. Much to often blacks are judged unfairly by whites and other blacks. Sadly enough, many middle class blacks are forced to walk that fine line between wanting to succeed and being ridiculed for not remembering their heritage.... |
racism | What Boone and Yoast weren’t aware of was the School Board had not expected Boone make it out of the two week training camp at the start of the season. After defying those odds and uniting the squad at camp, the School Board angrily put Boone’s job on the line, saying if he lost one game he would be fired. From the ver... |
racism | At points, it was clear that Boone questioned if Yoast was part of the threat, if he was working for or against him. This was evidenced in Boone asking Doc, his Line Coach, if he thought Yoast was intentionally throwing the first game when the opposition scored on its opening possession. |
racism | This is an example of how in leadership, especially in regards to leading through adaptive change, there are not necessarily right or wrong answers-some answers are better than others, but choices have negative repercussions. This is why leadership doesn’t feel good. This is why real leadership often involves doing wha... |
racism | If real leadership was easy, organizations and communities would not resist it. Real leadership often involves reexamining your “habits, values, and attitudes” (H & L, pg. 27) and calls for “hard transitions, adjustments, and loss in people’s lives.” (ibid, pg 48) Both Yoast and Boone answered the call, and respond to ... |
racism | By relinquishing some of his formal authority by accepting the assistant coaching job, coach Yoast put himself in a better position to lead. He was a role model for the white players who would eventually have to learn to swallow their pride by accepting lesser roles on the team. Coach Boone and Coach Yoast each had ver... |
racism | This was especially evident at camp before the Gettysburg run. When Boone had woken the football players up at 3:30 in the morning, Yoast comments in front of the players that they aren’t at boot camp. Boone gives a quick glare, turns around and starts running. Coach Boone was raising the anxiety level to the point whe... |
racism | The leadership of the coaches, serves as a model of leadership to the students. Gerry Bertier, a white All-American, and the team captain, gives the verbal okay for the white players to start playing that night by calling out one of his white teammates who had intentionally missed a block. By Bertier calling out his wh... |
racism | It was the player buy-in that eventually led the Titans to greatness. Two games into the season, when the team had gone 2-0 two of the ‘role players’ on the team called a team meeting. In doing so, they were exercising informal authority. Lewis Lastik, a white offensive lineman, and Darryl Stanton, a black defensive li... |
racism | Their were two key intra-racial exchanges that took place that served as the true catalysts for the adaptive work that was to be reflected in the whole of the community. At training camp, Bertier called to his white teammates to start playing as a team, a big step to getting a football team to win games. He had essenti... |
racism | When Assistant Coach Tyrell calls Yoast to choose sides, black or white, Yoast responds to Tyrell stating that, “you gotta do what you gotta do.” Coach Yoast told his friend and assistant coach for 10 years that he won’t tolerate racism. Tyrell, unable to change his ways, walked out of the restaurant. How deep seeded w... |
racism | Bertier had to make the same difficult decision with his best friend Ray Budds. Budds had intentionally missed a block in a game resulting in an injury for a black teammate. Bertier saw what happened, went to Coach Boone, the formal authority, and asked that Budds be kicked off the team. Boone, steadfast in his rules t... |
racism | There were several other intra-racial events that occurred throughout the film. They were however, exclusively white on white instances. This is no coincidence. The adaptive work that needed to take place needed to happen within the white community. Whites needed to start making whites accountable for their actions. It... |
racism | Naturally this raises the risk factor for those leading. Whites serve as the informal authority to other whites in this battle, calling their brothers to go against the formal authority, in one case it was Yoast calling out a referee who was throwing the game. In this instance, Yoast threatened to go to the press to ta... |
racism | The community does not have to support a winner. Assistant Coach Tyrell walked out on an undefeated team. Ray Budds allowed teammates to be injured. It could have been just as easy for the community to turn its back on the Titans as it was for Tyrell and Budds. However, the answer is quite clear. Player buy-in. The coa... |
racism | As Bertier and other formal and informal authorities on the team broke down and worked through their racially motivated personal barriers, and their belief in integration shifted, the practice of integration grew to be functional, and became a positive shift for the communtiy. It was the mindset of the characters that ... |
racism | When watching the film closely, you notice that after the third game, and the caners Tyrell and Budds are removed from the team, the wins come easier and the crowd becomes more integrated. There are no clear white and black sections anymore, instead unified crowds cheering on the Titans. Wins alone weren’t enough. The ... |
racism | In the montage of footage during their mid-season winning streak a quote on locker room mirror flashes briefly on the screen which reads: “reflection is the better part of a champion.” Adaptive change can call authority figures to be role models and in some part victims of positive adaptive change. It is in this contex... |
racism | Remember the Titans offered many opportunities to examine various leadership styles. It was also an opportunity to take a look at the different ways authorities interact with one another, as well as other leaders. The movie is a reminder that adaptive work is a slow and tedious process. Every step forward in the proces... |
racism | I now see that I alone can do little to help this process. Adaptive change is the result of partnerships and collaboration between leaders and followers. Each plays an integral role in the process. The eventual success of the T.C. Williams High School Football Team was the product of the hard work and dedication of the... |
racism | The story of the Last Mohicans is about war stories, adventure, frontier romance, pioneer life and racism. The novel is a historical fiction that takes place during the third year of the Indian and French war in 1755-1763. Indians play a very significant role in Indian and French since some of them became the French al... |
racism | Cooper emphasizes the tensions between nature and culture, between nature and man and between the Whites and Native Indians. To clearly understand how Cooper portrayed the Indians, it’s important to know some of the characters that significantly revealed the real nature of Indians and how they are treated in the story.... |
racism | In the beginning of the story, Indians were portrayed as natives who have vast familiarity with the terrain. The Indians expertise in the wilderness is portrayed by the character of Magua, an Indian of the Huron tribe who has a sharp understanding of white’s prejudices against the coloured descent. Uncan is another Ind... |
racism | Chingachgook, Unca’s father also portrays the usual character of a native Indian because of his crafty and cunning intelligence who inhabits the forest for the longest time. Chingachgook in Chapter three interpreted that the reason of racial inequality is because of white’s interpretation of their “red skin” as the abs... |
racism | In order to understand better how Cooper perceive and how he presented Indians, it is important to learn the character and disposition of the novel’s frontier hero named Hawkeye. He lives in the forest and share close bonds with some of the Indians especially with Uncas and Chingachgook. Though he was the main protagon... |
racism | One of the quotations that support his racism is during his conversation in Chapter three with Magua. “I am not a prejudiced man, nor one who vaunts himself on his natural privileges, though the worst enemy I have on earth, and he is an Iroquois, daren’t deny that I am genuine white” (Cooper, 1804). In this sentence, h... |
racism | Cooper is likely to convey that any white, even the noblest and most sensitive man will be proud to be white in front of whatever race whether it’s white’s opponent. Another evident that supports Hawkeye racism is when he perceived Magua initially as a bad man without meeting the Indian yet. He based his judgment based... |
racism | Though Cooper dislikes Hawkeye’s racisms, he made plots that justify that racism. The character of Major Duncan Heyward can be analyzed as well as to how Cooper presented the Indians in a way that will overlook the treatment about racism. A noble and conventional white man Heyward fell in love with Alice, half sister o... |
racism | It is impossible according to Munro that Heyward fell in love with Alice instead of Cora since Alice is portrayed as vulnerable and weak and Cora as a noble and strong woman. It is because Cora is partly “negro”? In any way the colour corresponds to their fate. The concept of the interracial love and friendship are app... |
racism | However the interracial love of Uncas and Cora ends in tragedy and the forced interracial relationship of Magua and Cora are portrayed as unnatural (“The Last of the Mohicans”). Though it can be interpreted that Cora’s affection for both Indians is inherited since her mother was Indian, Cooper still presented the reali... |
racism | Uncas pushes the limits of interracial romantic relationship and faced the unique challenges. Cooper suggests in the series of events that interracial relationship is difficult and perhaps doomed. The complication of interracial romance of Uncas and Cora is natural and passionate that can be happier mix culture in the ... |
racism | The white feared interracial marriage and interracial sexual contact. The persistent and violent advances of Magua to Cora and his dangerous combat to Uncas Hawkeye show an exaggerated fulfilment for white men’s fears. Though latter in the story, Cooper puts a complication on Magua’s intentions since Magua unconsciousl... |
racism | The adventure story full of battles, captures and rescues showcases Indians’ expertise in the wilderness which is used in their own advantage. Their crafty intelligence in the woods shows their attachment and loyalty to their own civilization. Magua personifies the typical fierce and dangerous Indian but Uncas and his ... |
racism | The scene in the village of the Hurons again manifested Indian’s expertise in the Wilderness. In the story with Magua and Uncas opposition, there became divided loyalties between the Indians which ended something sad and tragic. Both have different motivations. Magua is motivated by revenge against the white’s prejudic... |
racism | However, Cooper presented bad (Magua) and good (Uncas) Indians that will justify white’s notion about Indians through Magua’s character and the protagonists’ belief in individuality not race through Uncas’s character. In the latter part of the story with Magua’s confrontation with the Delawares when the white invaders ... |
racism | Finally with Magua’s death the narrative action in the wilderness ends. In the story, Cooper manifested the changing idea of family and culture. Uncas and Hawkeye for example, adapted easily to the makeshift family structure. Uncas and Hawkeye even though they came from two opposing race manage to form a family and com... |
racism | The title itself “Last of the Mohicans” symbolizes the death of the native Indian Culture in the encroaching approach of European civilization. The death of Uncas particularly laments the end of the Mohicans civilization. The title itself determines the ultimate tragedy of the novel’s plot. The novel was fruitful contr... |
racism | The story of Cooper is non fiction but the characters were created in the novel especially the Indian tribes has historical context. Though the land itself where the setting took place is as dangerous as the Indian tribes but Cooper also highlighted and justified the good sides of the natives. The setting is in the woo... |
racism | When the whites came, Cooper through the characters he created contributes to the depiction on how Indians are treated outside the Frontier. The novel also showcases the weakness of the Europeans in their lack of understanding in the dangerous forest. At the very beginning, whites were expressive that they need Indians... |
racism | James Baldwin the African-American novelist and social critic, was born in Harlem, (1924-1987). Baldwin grew up a poor, unhappy, man after his mother’s marriage in 1927. His stepfather, a domineering fundamentalist minister from New Orleans, seemed to hate his stepson. He read prodigiously, and became a junior minister... |
racism | In the essay, James Baldwin questions the use of fiction to advocate social change. He published his irst novel in 1953, which became the largely autobiographical “Go Tell It To The Mountain. ” The book set in Harlem, recalled the difficulties of his struggles with his Stepfather and recalled the difficulties in his ad... |
racism | A long journey to the South resulted in highly rhetorical essays, collected in “Nobody Knows My Name” written in 1961 and “The fire Next Time” written in 1963, both led to Baldwin recognized as a major American Essayist as well as the leading critic of racism. Between these two books came “Another Country” in 1962, is ... |
racism | In 1964, his controversial drama “Blues for Mister Charlie” about the most horrible crimes of the Civil rights movement, ran for 150 performances on Broadway. Baldwin brought to American the discussion about race, especially in his earlier novels and essays an understanding of the turmoil’s psychological nuances and it... |

racism | The reader can see the narrator is disappointed with his younger brother Sonny at first on the count of his interest becoming a musician. He thought it only a phrase that Sonny is going through, and hopes it shall pass. The older brother patronizes Sonny with an insincere interest in music until it angers Sonny into te... |
racism | The part in the novel where the narrator went to Sonny’s territory which was the club, is the way the narrator accepts Sonny’s drug addiction on his own terms. This acceptance comes in full circle when he listens and watches Sonny express himself through his piano. The older brother (Narrator) was, at first disappointe... |
racism | Jazz blues music can also be viewed in Sonny’s Blues as a catalyst for change. The narrator starts to begin to understand not only Sonny’s music, but also his relationship with his brother. The reader can explore the theme of brotherhood in “Sonny’s Blues” and suggests that the story implies that we are “Our brothers k... |
racism | Especially in the part were he wants to be shaved, his reference to the barbaric side of the people is made very clear. My old, old dream of bliss vanished into thin air! [… ] I said, with withering irony, that it was sufficient to be skinned – I declined to be scalped. (Twain, 114/115) This description of the people i... |
racism | Especially American people should notice this reference, because this scalping used to happen in Indian tribes. This reference to the barbaric side of the European world is in a way a justification for the lack of culture in America and stresses the sense of power and superiority of America. In the second, Eastern part... |

racism | Railton even links Twain’s attitude to racial preconceptions.

Turkey was in many ways the opposite of the American culture and belonged more ... |

racism | The play “Master Harold”… and the Boys”, by Athol Fugard, illustrates life in South Africa under the apartheid rule. The play is written in the South African context and the issue of apartheid is central in the play. The play is an informative and autobiographical one-act play about the relationship between Hally, Will... |
racism | Racial prejudice was very common and constantly relevant during apartheid rule. The consequences were enormous for the Black society, who were basically kept in prison on native land. The Whites determined their lives, educated and passed down laws for Blacks. Thus the relationship between the two controversial racial ... |
racism | Both Sam and Willie are servants working for Harold’s family. The typical relationship between a Black and a White during apartheid rule was very distant. The Whites were the dominant people, acting as masters while the Blacks were seen as naturally inferior and thus were oppressed. The relationship between Hally and S... |
racism | This was obviously not very common during apartheid rule, with most Blacks finding themselves in the same position as Willie. Like most Blacks Sam is uneducated. However, he is interested in learning and gains his personal education from Hally’s textbooks which he brings home after school. Their friendly relationship c... |
racism | This illustrates their friendship, because Hally accepts Sam’s choice of Alexander Fleming as a man of magnitude. First of all, most Blacks at that time would probably never know who Alexander Fleming was and his significance in contribution to medical advancements and secondly at all it was through Hally that Sam gain... |
racism | They have been living as friends despite the gap that exists between them as people of two races. Natural human qualities manifest in their relationship. Though Hally has been culturally and psychologically conditioned and trained to think of himself as superior to the black characters, the time he spends in their comp... |
racism | After the second temper flair up in the play, the tempo settles again, where Hally, Willie, and Sam discuss the dance and Sam gives his metaphor on dancing. Sam’s engaging and subtle analysis of the dance contest for which Willie practices as a symbol of a harmonious world where no one “bumps” into anyone else, not onl... |
