This document summarizes and discusses systemic racism and racial injustice in the United States. It discusses how the killing of George Floyd sparked renewed protests against racial injustice and police brutality. While some argue that these are isolated issues of "bad apples", the document argues that racism is systemic in institutions like policing due to the country's history of scientific racism and racialization. It discusses how white evangelicals in particular tend to deny systemic racism due to their emphasis on individualism and lack of contact with minorities. The document calls for expanding cultural understanding of racial issues through learning from other groups' experiences of injustice and oppression.
The movement known as Black Lives Matter was started in 2013 in response to the killings of unarmed black men by police. It aims to protest police brutality and racial inequality against black communities. However, some media outlets have portrayed the movement's goals as disrupting peace or falsely painting America. In reality, the movement wants transparent investigations of police killings of black people and reform of the criminal justice system, which disproportionately incarcerates and arrests black and Latino individuals. The Black Lives Matter movement also plans to address issues like failing education systems that negatively impact black youth and mass incarceration of people of color.
This document contains summaries of 5 sources related to the Black Lives Matter movement:
1. A book by Edwards focuses on police shootings that sparked protests and the work of activists to reform the legal system and address racial tensions.
2. A newspaper article by Fletcher argues that claims of Black Lives Matter being "anti-police" are a myth, and that the real issue is police violence against black civilians.
3. An article discusses Tarantino's comments calling police "murderers", noting that while some demonstrations have had anti-police chants, very few Black Lives Matter participants actually advocate killing police.
4. A website discusses how Black Lives Matter has affected politics, with candidates addressing issues

In 2014, we live in a world with a media saturated culture. This is the era of digital news services, of 24-hour news channels, free newspapers, and even media based applications. For the majority of us, the way in which we learn about the world outside our personal perception is through the consumption of news, mainly still through broadcast or print (OFCOM 2007). Various forms of media has fed the public statistics that created a sense of stereotyping for each particular race. For example, the media and those on film, such as politics and leaders of the government, link together race and crime, which conveys a criminal image of the public’s consumption (St. John & Heald-Moore, 1995). Since race and crime are tied together, when one thinks of a crime, hears about a crime, or when crime is being reported, race is usually associated with it. In the American society, a frequent representation of crime is that it is majorly committed by African- Americans. The view of African Americans has been distorted and twisted by the media. Without question, almost everything that is being covered by the media is believed by most of society and it becomes their actual perceptual reality. Broadcast media and other various forms of media has a history for portraying African Americans in a biased manner, as if they were mostly reported involved in crime, drugs, or acts of violence. This has led to many cases of stereotyping, racial profiling, police brutality, prejudice, inhumane acts and has brain washed most of our society into believing that almost every African American is mischievous or a threat to their well-being. African Americans are unjustly, as well as unrealistically depicted on broadcast news and various other types of mass media. These negative connotations affects more than just African- Americans but also every other culture that exists in America.
African Americans have been associated with crime for quite some time. It was not until some in the 1970’s and early 1980s that the popular stereotype of the young black man evolved in the eyes of many from a petty thief or rapist into the notorious , malicious criminal predators, or what Kathery Russel ( 2002) has argued, is the world recognized “ criminalblackman”. Within the last few decades there have been controversial law enforcement practices of racial profiling. Law enforcement officials pursue minorities in an attempt to increase the likely hood of catching illegal activity or the predetermined act of illegal activity, which is part of a consequence from the racial profiling that the media has inflicted upon society. The questionable practices has led to negative effects on blacks. To the African American culture law officials are deemed more criminal or more of a threat than what the media and statistics has condemned blacks to be. The after math, after the many years of harassment, African ...
This document summarizes and analyzes 5 sources related to debates around racial issues, police violence, and social movements like Black Lives Matter. The sources discuss a college president's "All Lives Matter" statement that provoked controversy, Ben Carson's view that mutual respect is more important than race, an examination of the civil rights movement, debates around claims of wars on police or black people, and criticism of Black Lives Matter's goals. The document analyzes the authors, publications, and relevance of each source to provide context.
While the US has made progress on racial justice through events like the Civil War and Obama's presidency, recent incidents show race relations have deteriorated. Police violence against African Americans, such as the killing of George Floyd, reveals systemic discrimination. President Trump has ignored these issues and called for force against protesters. The justice system has also failed to properly punish racial crimes, demonstrating an urgent need for accountability and actions to ensure civil liberties for all Americans.

The document discusses key demands and goals of the Black Lives Matter movement. It outlines demands for economic justice including collective Black ownership; divestment from exploitative forces and investment in Black communities; community control over policies and institutions serving Black communities; independent Black political power and self-determination; and reparations for past and ongoing harms against Black people. The movement seeks to reconstruct systems that have historically oppressed and harmed Black communities.
This document discusses AIDS and race relations in New York City during the 1980s. It focuses on how AIDS disproportionately impacted African Americans and other minority groups due to lack of education and medical support. Racial stigma led people to believe AIDS was a "gay disease" and ignore its spread among minorities. Government neglect exacerbated the epidemic in minority and low-income communities. The document examines individual accounts and statistics to argue that racism prevented an effective response to the AIDS crisis.

This document discusses victim typologies in relation to hate crimes. It provides background on hate crime laws and data collection in the US. It summarizes a five-category typology of victimization developed by Sellin and Wolfgang, including primary, secondary, tertiary, mutual, and no victimization. Hate crimes involve primary victimization, targeting individuals for their race, religion, or other attributes. While polls showed improving race relations after Obama's election, data from the Uniform Crime Report shows hate crime rates have actually been decreasing since 1996.

The world is filled with unjust problems that occur on a daily basis. It is honestly hard to
be able to determine which ones are more important, because it wouldn’t be right, all problems
are equally important. Some unjust acts are more common in certain areas than they are in
others. Although there are many problems in our world, the one problem that is imbedded within
our society that has always seemed the most unjust to me: racial profiling. For those who many
not know what racial profiling is, it’s honestly pretty simple, people (usually minorities) are
targets simply based on their race. Something as simple as one's race can be cause for suspicion
on a crime being committed. Racial profiling comes from any and everyone, but the problem
with this comes when people are being racially profiled by people with power, people who we
are expected to have our best interests, those who we believe with protect us. Throughout our
history racial profiling has always existed, there is honestly no shortage, however within the last
decade there has been a huge uproar whenever police officers commit unthinkable acts due to
racial profiling. This is a major problem that has occurred in our past, continues to occur in our
present, and if we do nothing, it will continue to occur in our future community. Many do not see
the problem with this because it is not their category of people being targeted. They do not know
the fear the minorities live with daily, or the many different precautions that minorities have to
take in which they don’t. Now is the time to band together and come up with a solution to this
problem.

What ‘White Privilege’ Really Means
By George Yancy and Naomi Zack November 5, 2014 7:00 pm
The Stone is a forum for contemporary philosophers and other thinkers on issues both
timely and timeless.
This is the first in a series of interviews with philosophers on race that I am
conducting for The Stone. This week’s conversation is with Naomi Zack, a
professor of philosophy at the University of Oregon and the author of “The Ethics
and Mores of Race: Equality After the History of Philosophy.” — George Yancy
George Yancy: What motivates you to work as a philosopher in the
area of race?
Naomi Zack: I am mainly motivated by a great need to work and not to be
bored, and I have a critical bent. I think there is a lot of work to be done concerning
race in the United States, and a lot of ignorance and unfairness that still needs to
be uncovered and corrected. I received my doctorate in philosophy from Columbia
University in 1970 and then became absent from academia until 1990. When I
returned it had become possible to write about real issues and apply analytic skills
to social ills and other practical forms of injustice. My first book, “Race and Mixed
Race” (1991) was an analysis of the incoherence of U.S. black/white racial
categories in their failure to allow for mixed race. In “Philosophy of Science and
Race,” I examined the lack of a scientific foundation for biological notions of
human races, and in “The Ethics and Mores of Race,” I turned to the absence of

G.Y.: How can critical philosophy of race shed unique light on what has
happened, and is still happening, in Ferguson, Mo.?
N.Z.: Critical philosophy of race, like critical race theory in legal studies, seeks
to understand the disadvantages of nonwhite racial groups in society (blacks
especially) by understanding social customs, laws, and legal practices. What’s
happening in Ferguson is the result of several recent historical factors and deeply
entrenched racial attitudes, as well as a breakdown in participatory democracy.
G.Y.: Would you put this in more concrete terms?
N.Z.: Let’s work backwards on this. Middle-class and poor blacks in the

The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

Systemic Racialism and the Continuing
Struggle for Social Justice in the United States
Steven J. Ybarrola
As the world now knows, on May 25, 2020, George
Floyd, an African American, died in Minneapolis while
being constrained by three police officers as a fourth
stood by watching and keeping the growing crowd of
onlookers and concerned citizens away. The senior
officer on the scene, who is white, had his knee on
Floyd’s neck while the other two held his back and legs.
Although, based on videos taken at the time, onlookers
were concerned about Floyd’s safety as he kept telling
the police that he couldn’t breathe, and calling for the
policeman to get off his neck, the officer remained in
that position for over 8 minutes, well after Floyd had
stopped moving. This is, as we’ve come to see, not an
isolated incident, but unfortunately a too common
occurrence in the United States, brought to public
attention in recent years primarily through cellphone
videos.
In an article I published in this journal in January
2019, I discussed teaching a course in 2015, “Ethnicity,
Race, and the Church,” in which I had to stop beginning
class sessions with a “What’s in the News” section due
to the fact that there were so many examples of mainly
unarmed black men being killed by police, and in some
cases vigilantes, that it took up too much class time. It
is disheartening that five years later we are still
witnessing so many of these incidences. A Washington

I use the term racialism instead of racism, following common scholarly usage, to connote the wider societal impact of the meanings
given to race. It also conveys the idea that our understanding of race and racial attitudes change over time, though, as we see in
American society today, they don’t necessarily diminish in their potency or effect.
Post study of fatal shootings by police during a five-year
period beginning in 2015 found that African Americans
were disproportionately killed by police. “They account
for under 13% of the U. S. population, but are killed by
police at more than twice the rate of white Americans”.1
Likewise, Department of Justice investigations of the
police departments in Ferguson, Missouri (where
Michael Brown, an unarmed African American
teenager, had been killed by a police officer in 2014)
and Chicago found that they had routinely violated the
constitutional and civil rights of African Americans and
Latinos/as.2
The outrage over the murder of George Floyd,
which has come to symbolize the continued abuse and
denigration of African Americans and other minority
populations in the United States, has led to a renewed
movement for social justice largely under the umbrella
of Black Lives Matter, with estimates of the number of
protesters since the death of Floyd ranging between 15
and 26 million, which would make it the largest such
movement in U.S. history. 3
A key argument in this
recent movement, as with those in the past, has been
the systemic nature of racialism/racism in the United
States. Anthropologists, as well as other social scientists,
have long studied the issues of race and racialism,4
and
2. On Knowing Humanity Journal 4(2), July 2020
Ybarrola, News & Opinions 66
have pointed out its systemic nature, particularly,
though not exclusively, in the United States.
The development of the social imaginary (Taylor
2003) of race in the United States began well before the
founding of the country, but it became more deeply
embedded in the 19th
century with the rise of “scientific
racialism,” which purported to have scientifically
confirmed that racial categories were, in fact, real,
distinct, and that key intrinsic differences existed among
the “races” (Lieberman and Scupin 2012; Meneses
2006). These differences were seen to be so important
that some of the leading scientists of the day argued,
based largely on the study of skulls (phrenology/
craniology), that there had actually been separate
“geneses” (polygeny) for the different races (see
Stocking 1991, and Gould 1996). Anthropology moved
away from such a clearly delineated model of “race,”
especially after the development of genetics which
revealed that humans are incredibly genetically
homogeneous, regardless of how we may appear
physically. Instead, anthropologists and other social
scientists came to understand race to be a sociocultural
construct, one where those in the dominant group (in
this case, white) were able to determine which physical
attributes would be used to categorize people into what
were argued to be clearly demarcated groups. However,
though the social sciences have moved beyond the
categorical concept of “race” due to the scientific
evidence, it still informs how most US-Americans
understand race, and more importantly, how our
institutions continue to perpetuate a racialized society.
One example of the systemic nature of racialism is
the one cited above—policing. An argument that has
been made in recent weeks in the wake of the killing of
George Floyd and others at the hands of law
enforcement is that we shouldn’t impugn all police
officers because of a few “bad apples.” However, the
philosophers Todd May and George Yancey argue that
this is a fundamental misunderstanding of the real
problem. They state,
We think that making this distinction [between
policing and a few “bad apples”] is a mistake. It is a
mistake not because it underestimates the number of
police officers who are racist and violent, but because
the problem of racist policing is not one of individual

america-2019/.
actors. It is a mistake because the role of the police
in society must be understood, not individually but
structurally.5
One of the police officers involved in the killing of
George Floyd self-identified as African American (like
president Obama, his mother is white and his father is
African, in this case, Nigerian). He entered the police
force in Minneapolis with a desire to bring about
change in how the police dealt with African Americans
and other minorities, but became an agent of the
ongoing oppression of black people. Ironically, he
became a symbol of such oppression, and helped spark
a movement for the change he was ostensibly seeking.6
But systemic racialism affects all of our institutions
in the United States. As the Christian sociologists
Michael Emerson and Christian Smith argue in their
book Divided by Faith,
racial practices that reproduce racial division in the
contemporary United States “(1) are increasingly
covert, (2) are embedded in normal operations of
institutions, (3) avoid direct racial terminology, and
(4) are invisible to most Whites.” It understands that
racism is not mere individual, overt prejudice or the
free-floating irrational driver of race problems, but
the collective misuse of power that results in
diminished life opportunities for some racial groups
(2000, 9, quoting Bonilla-Silva and Lewis, 1997).7
The problem is that since, as Emerson and Smith
argue, most white people don’t “see” racialism in the
United States as a systemic problem, they can easily
place blame for any offense on the victim of the offense.
I recall being with family in California at a barbecue
with some of their friends (all of us white) when the
acquittal of George Zimmerman in the killing of
Trayvon Martin was announced. As we discussed the
verdict, all of those there, with the exception of my
brother, my wife, and me, were making the argument
that the killing had nothing to do with race—it was just
self-defense against a “thug.” Now, it could be argued
that Zimmerman felt his life was threatened once
Martin was on top of him, but he would never have
gotten into that position had he not been following
Martin around the neighborhood (where Martin had
3. On Knowing Humanity Journal 4(2), July 2020
Ybarrola, News & Opinions 67
family) because he was “suspicious,” and had he not
disobeyed the 911 operator when he was told to stop
following Martin. This is eerily reminiscent of the
recent killing of Ahmaud Arbery as he jogged through
a predominantly white neighborhood in South Georgia.
The systemic nature of race in the U.S. is such that
blacks and other minorities can easily be seen as “out
of place” in all sorts of social settings (e.g., department
stores, neighborhoods, car dealerships, apartment
rental offices, bird watching in a park).
Systemic Racism and White Evangelicals
In their research among white evangelicals,
Emerson and Smith found that their “cultural tool kit”
did not provide a framework for understanding
systemic issues related to race. Instead, there was a
strong emphasis on “accountable freewill indivi-
dualism” (“individuals exist independent of structures
and institutions”), “relationalism (attaching central
importance to interpersonal relationships), and
antistructuralism (inability to perceive or unwillingness
to accept social structural influences)” (2000, 76). They
go on to state that “Although much in Christian
scripture and tradition points to the influence of social
structures on individuals, the stress on individualism
has been so complete for such a long time in white
American evangelical culture that such tools are nearly
unavailable” (78-79).
One thing that did make a difference, however, was
the degree to which white evangelicals had contact with
people from minority populations. Those who had little
contact with such populations denied that race was a
problem in the U.S., or blamed minorities for the racial
problems that do exist, whereas those who were more
immersed in non-white society regarded race problems
as real, prevalent, and even scary. Towards the end of
their chapter dealing with white evangelicals’
perceptions of the “race problem,” they state,
white evangelicals’ cultural tools and racial isolation
curtail their ability to fully assess why people of
different races do not get along, the lack of equal
opportunity, and the extent to which race matters in
America. Although honest and well-intentioned,
their perspective is a powerful means to reproduce
contemporary racialization. Because reality is socially
constructed, a highly effective way to ensure the
perpetuation of a racialized system is simply to deny
its existence (2000, 89, 90).
As I argued in my OKHJ article, because we are
brought up in a particular family and community at a
particular time and place, we tend to see the world,
including the social world, through the meanings that
our culture gives to it. And since we are naturally
ethnocentric, we believe the world is as we see it, or at
least it ought to be. Therefore, it takes great intention
on our part to move beyond our own cultural and social
situatedness to try to understand how other people, who
come from different families and communities, see and
experience the world (Ybarrola 2019). In order to do
this, we need to take an incarnational approach:
humbling ourselves, taking the attitude of a learner, and
seeking how we can serve others rather than expecting
them to serve us (see Rynkiewich 2011, 41, 42). In this
way we can expand our “cultural tool kit” and join those
who are crying out for social justice!
I was struck by a news story recently that showed an
African American girl wearing a tee shirt that read “All
Lives Cannot Matter Until Black Lives Matter.” True
enough, but we are living in a time when members of
our government are claiming that “Black Lives Matter”
is “a symbol of hate” and that protesters are all “radical
left fascists.” Let us be, as Andrew Walls says that
Christians throughout church history have been, those
who are “out of step” with our society when it comes to
continuing the oppressive systems that keep so many
Americans marginalized and impoverished (Walls
1996). Let us follow the mandate given to us by God
through the prophet Micah—to act justly and to love
mercy and to walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8).
