Otherness

Cheyanne Easter Processor Temple English 066 1 October 2012 separateness E reallywhere you go you catch yourself either stereotyping or being stereotyped just by the simple she lives in a big digest she essential be rich or hes Asian he must be good at math. Stereotyping is usually a negative enclothe on all human beings but it somehow weasels its way into social acceptance. Now, more than ever and somehow we end up accepting it with no concern.Allport (1954) possibility was that thinking ill of others without warrant that people make their mind u without any personal experience. This pre judgment is worldwide it happens everywhere including every race white, black, Hispanic to what sexual activity female or male. We are all human we all do it. One group we tend to target the most, our middle aged black men, we pracive them to be a gang member or drug dealers by their own appearance. But would it be wrong to say that hip hop may take away an effect on the way people look at Afr ican American men in our alliance.While watching an outcome of the Tyra Banks show rerun an episode to the highest degree stereotypes happened to be on where Tyra did an experiment where she put a group of people from all backgrounds showed them a picture of different cultured individuals and asked what and how you felt almost them just by their appearance. The first picture appeared of a middle aged tall black man wearing baggy jeans, boots and an oversized jacket. People imitation right off that bat that he must not be educated, he must be on welfare trying to support his kids and bobble momma was some white females exact words.These comments were even coming from the same race that he must be strapped with guns and running the route as a gang banger one African American women stated. It was sickening for people to make all these assumptions just based on their possibleness of stereotypes by a certain individual. He was later brought out face to face with these people to f ind out that hes a very successful antrapranoer and has already earned 4 degrees. He says it the same reaction he gets from individual all the time, its hard on me and that everything Im hearing today I have to carry the weight of every African American male out there.He explains that those type of stereotypes are the ones he has to live up to on a daily bases. You could relate this mans experience with a young African American boy that was polish off because this man thought he was being suspicious. Trayvon Martin a 17 year old teenage that was shot for the simple fact that he was a black male wearing a hoodie walking through a gated neighborhood. Federals say this could indeed be a hate crime. What went through George Zimmermans foreland to shoot this innocent boy was it the first time Zimmermans done such type of prejudgment on black males, no.At the very least, a location of 46 emergency calls made by Zimmerman over the past six years documents his attentiveness about keeping his neighborhood safe and orderly. The calls include complaints about unruly people at the pool, potholes, dumped trash, and kids playing in the street. In recent months as the neighborhood saw an uptick in crime, including burglaries and a shooting, Zimmermans calls had focused on particularised suspects, the majority of them young black males.Zimmerman assumptions about these people made them his target. Some people say that this doesnt exist in current day society but this right here is a prime example. To provideingly kill a young black kid due to the fact that he walked into this hearthstone or for the simple fact that he was cutting in-between houses, walking very leisurely for the rainy weather and looking at all the house gave Zimmerman the right to shot this innocent kid that caused death by his own prejudgment it devastates me to the bare bone.This problem will never stop. People tend to suffice their head with what they want to believe. Is it wrong to say that maybe hip hop had a little influence on the killing of Trayvon Martin, editor in caput of GlobalGrind. com, a site about the hip-hop side of pop culture said Even if I have a black hoodie, a straddle of jeans and white sneakers on, in fact that is what I wore yesterday, I still never will look suspicious.No matter how much the hoodie covers my face or how baggie my jeans are, I will never look out of place to you, he wrote. I will never look suspicious to you, because of one thing and one thing but,the strain of my skin. Thus, clothing lines and particular clothing items popular within the hip hop culture are Stereotyped and ignoring simplistic understandings of hip hop culture malarky people to assume the role of a ordinary African American that lives day to day in our society , as drug dealers, gang bangers or want to be rappers.Do hip hop rappers influence people to assume that black men arent safe to be around if they portray the determine of rapper, is it all about getting mon ey, smoking and having a gun. Its sad to say these stereotypes can just come from material clothing you not only see it in hip hop fashion but in the holocaust people could see right through you that you were a Jew, during this semester weve been reading a book called Maus were it takes you into the life of one Jewish man valdeck spingleman that survived the worst externmation of 11 million people.
