Education Bobby


 * Race is such a loaded term.
 * Almost everyone makes assumptions based on each race’s intelligence based on their respective cultures and overall academic performance.
 * Asians and Indians are perceived to be as smart as or smarter than Whites in scientific and mathematics fields as well as equals in philosophy.
 * Blacks and Latinos based on their poor average academic scores and whites interpretations of their cultures reflecting laziness and stupidity.
 * Whites stereo types don’t suffer as much due to the predominance in the west.
 * Whites have been given the “jack of all trades” role….you can have your “Paris Hilton and your Steven hawkings.
 * Race wont suffer from one extreme or the other.
 * Others may find this different…Randy Moss is more of a predominant representation than James Baldwin in the African American race.
 * Obviously physical distinctions can be more correctly enumerated in athletic performance
 * Mental process are far harder to grade than almost always cultural stereo types and false assumptions are applied.
 * Standardized test scores used to judge the overall race.

Education Bobby


 * When it comes to education, are some groups valued more than others?
 * a number of theories have emerged to explain why some groups soar in school and why some flounder.
 * certainly students do poorly because of cultural, social, linguistic backgrounds.
 * values, languages and behavior learned at home don't always mesh with those of the school system or the school itself.
 * this is know as the deficit theory.
 * before the nineteen sixties the deficit theory held that genetic and IQ deficiencies of certain groups were the root cause of academic achievements.
 * today deficit theory proponents steer clear of such claims.
 * the expectaion theory.
 * some children do poorly because their teachers do not expect much of the kids form certain racial or ethnic groups.
 * as a result the teacher teaches the students differently, the students academic performance suffers, and the entire cycle becomes a self- fullfilling prophecy.
 * This was made popular by Rosenthal and Jacobson.
 * holds that the students academic performance can be improved if teachers behavior is modified.
 * Cultural difference theory, better cross cultural understanding.
 * asserts that academic problems can be overcome if educators study and mediate the cultural gap seperating school and home.
 * creating effcetive classrooms for all children takes a deliberate and thoughful process.
 * Plessy v. Ferguson
 * the supreme court decision segreation became legally sanctioned part of the American way of life.
 * a landmark case.
 * the seperate but equal docterine.
 * Black Americans, A struggle for a chance to learn.
 * they have been held lost of a free and public education since slave days.
 * the first law prohibiting education if slaves was passed in south carolina in 1740.
 * many states following passed similar and even stronger compulsory-ignorance laws.
 * Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka
 * may 1954, the supreme court, "in the feild of public education the doctrine of seperate but equal has no place.

 * “Assumptions about race and ethnicity are so deeply embedded in our culture that we can hardly help noticing skin color.”
 * Greenwald's Implicit Association Test is a test that uses words to detect unconscious bias
 * Greenwald and colleagues modified the Implicit Association Test (https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit) to search for unconscious biases among Democratic voters. When asked who they planned to cast ballots for, a sample of voters reported strong support for Obama, who held a 42 percent-to-34 percent lead over Hillary Clinton with John Edwards coming in at 12. But when the same people took the Implicit Association Test, (unconscious bias) Clinton was "the runaway winner," favored by 48 percent of them, and Obama was dead last, with 25 percent. Edwards was favored by 27 percent.-According to the same test, black people had bias against Obama -This was thought to be because African Americans come from the same culture we do nowadays

The Media Brandy Stone


 * Media has stereotyped young African Americans as gangsters or drug dealers
 * This has shot down their chances for successful employment in the future
 * Negative aspects of black communities have been focused on- drug use, criminal activity and welfare abuse
 * News worthy stories having to deal with race are only televised or written if they have something to do with the white public
 * Researched has shown that most serious crimes (rape, robbery, assault and homicide) are committed by only 8% of African American youth
 * Most officers harass African American youth because of the stereotypes presented in the media
 * Between 1967-1990 the perecent of black families with an income of at least $50,000 more that doubled
 * The median income for African American families in which both parents work, went form $28,700 in 1967 to $40,038 in 1990. (40% increase)
 * White familes with both parents working had only a 17% increase during the same time from $40,040 to $47,247
 * Drop out rates have dropped from the 1970’s for both black and whites
 * African American rates fell from 24% to just 13% (’72-’91)
 * Although, staying in school has not improved their chances of being employed
 * The unemployment rate for black youths is more than twice that of the white youths
 * “The dysfunctional aspect of this bias emerges when the realistic concerns of African-Americans are dismissed as irrelevant or threatening to the majority population.”

The Media Eric Groff


 * "Media have divided the working class and stereotyped young African-American males as gangsters or drug dealers."
 * "As a result of such treatment, the media have crushed youths' prospects for future employment and advancement."
 * "The media have focused on the negative aspects of the black community (e.g. engaging in drug use, criminal activity, welfare abuse) while maintaining the cycle of poverty that the elite wants."
 * "There are no universally accepted and recorded codes or rules, which apply to journalists in news selection and production."
 * "The media have devoted too much time and space to "enumerating the wounded" and too little time to describing the background problems of African-Americans."
 * "What is not a crisis is not usually reported and what is not or cannot be made visual is often not televised."
 * "The news media respond quickly and with keen interest to the conflicts and controversies of racial stories."
 * "For the most part, they disregard the problems that seep beneath the surface until they erupt in the hot steam that is the "live" news story."
 * "The media have not studied important events in the African-American community today."
 * "the condition of blacks itself is not a matter of high interest to the white majority"
 * "Their interest in black America is focused upon situations in which their imagined fear becomes a real problem."

9th and 12th grade Multimedia Presentation Research Extravaganza The purpose for the interviews: -To ask real people about their views about the issue of racial stereotyping in the areas of politics, education, the workplace, the media and sports. -To see the views that some people may have on why people are racially stereotyped. -To find out if the people have been racially stereotyped and what was the situation. -To see if they feel that racially stereotyping others is necessary or unnecessary in today’s society. -To see if others view that if we were more accepting towards others would stop negative and incorrect inferences towards different people groups. -To find honest answers to the way that people racially stereotype others and why. (we are not out to judge people, just to find honest and true answers for the presentation) -To help express our views on racial stereotyping to the class. Our view: -Each and every person is different in every way. People shouldn’t be afraid to be different than how society views them, being in such negative ways. Be accepting of towards others and, as to who they are." Forms for the interviews: -Interview one person on racial stereotyping in education. -One for politics -One for the media -One for the work place. -One for sports. Questions for the interviews (for all four of the participants): - What do you know about racial stereotypes? - How do you think you would be racially stereotyped? - Why do you think people racially stereotype others? - Do you feel that racial stereotypes have a positive or negative affect on the person or people group being stereotyped? - Do you feel that, as a society, we would be able to function without racial stereotypes or are they going to be around forever? - (if they say yes to the first part…how do you think we could rid of negative racial stereotypes? - Have you ever been stereotyped because of your race or ethnic background? - What had happened? Why do you think you were? - Be extra honest, you won’t be judged by my group, or me, but have you ever racially stereotyped someone? - Do you feel that if people would try to be much more accepting and try to be much more understanding as to why people are the way that they are, we wouldn’t make such negative inferences toward people would stop or at least be less prevalent? Questions for education participant: - Do you feel that teachers and administrators treat all students equally? - If yes…des this have a positive or negative affect to the student? If no…why do you think this is? - Do you think that teachers racially stereotype students? - Do you feel that if they do, that this may effect their education? - Having to do with being accepted into academies or schools, that race or ethnic backgrounds have anything to do with the acceptances rate? - How would you stereotype a (insert ethnic background) student? - Do you think that the reason that students are stereotyped is their fault, or society’s? Questions for politics participant: - Do you think that politicians are stereotyped because of race or ethnic background? - Is race or ethnic background an important choice in voting for a political leader? - Witnessing history of the first African American president of our country, do you think this means that America’s prejudice towards black people has gone way down or just swept under the rug? - Do you feel that everyone who voted for Barrack Obama has hope for good change or is this hope more prevalent in black Americans? - For the subject of legislation, do you think that many laws aimed at preventing violence are because of black people? Questions for the workplace participant: - In general, do you feel that racial discrimination is prevalent in the workplace? - Do you think that employers, when looking to hire, take race or ethnic background into consideration? - Why do you think that is? - Think about this scenario, two men went to the same university, majored in business management with the same GPA of 3.8 and at the top 10 percentile of their graduating class. They both apply for the same position at the same company. Both of the men have the same work experience. One man is of Hispanic background and the other is of European decent, so he’s white. Who do you think would have the better chance at getting the position? - Why do you think that? - Do you think that this is a problem in our job system? Questions for media participant: - Do you think that in the media, racial stereotyping is an issue? - Does this affect the people group positively or negatively? - Have you ever seen an example of blatant racial stereotyping on TV or any other media form? - How do you think that the media racial stereotypes (insert ethnic background)? - Do you think that this affect other peoples views of the people group s a whole? - Is this a problem? Questions for sports participants: - Do you think that racial stereotyping is prevalent in sports? - How would you describe the typical American Athlete with five words? - Do you thing that more generalization or more stereotypes are made when judging athletes ? - Would you be surprised if I said that 77% if NBA players are black? - Or that 65% of NFL players are black? Or that a quarter if the MLB is made up of Latinos? - Do you feel that these athletes are held to a higher standard? - What sports would you classify as white sports, black sports or other races sports? - Do you think that sports team’s mascots stereotype different races?
