  • The KKK—1890’s, 1970’s, and Today

    1621 Words  | 4 Pages

    A few years ago, my mother told me something thought provoking: we had once lived on the same block as the leader of the local Ku Klux Klan chapter. That had been in Charlotte, North Carolina, around 1994. The Ku Klux Klan, according to Blaine Varney in Lynching in the 1890’s, used to “…set out on nightly ‘terror rides’ to harass ‘uppity Negroes’….” They are far more infamous, however, for their “lynching”—nightly “terror rides” that included murder—of African Americans. Varney tells us lynching levels reached their pinnacle in 1892, with 161 recorded murders that year. In modern times, most Americans would agree that the Klan, along with any form of white supremacy, has no place in society—and pointing out its survival is a good way to imply that we, as a people, are still not perfect.

The members wrapped themselves and their horses in a sheet and rode through small towns leaving the impression that they were the ghosts of confederate dead. At the time, of course, this was a small harmless group of angered men, but it would quickly rise to be a popularized and effective klan. To popularize their organization, klan members held rallies and parades to show their power and intimidate opposers throughout the summer of 1867.

    The United States is a racialized society, with racism deeply embedded into its history. The most renowned display of racism in the United States is the enslavement of Africans by white people. This is one of the many instances that highlights the government’s implementation of institutional racism, which has been experienced by people of many different races. In this documentary, American citizenship, the Federal Housing Administration, and real estate appear to be the focal portrayals of institutional racism.

The South was in great need of the slave trade to prosper economically, its people were bored and angry, and they felt that it could never return to its glory. And the six officers thought to do something about it. It was a lighthearted start: Klan members would ride through time on horseback and would play pranks on their friends and neighbors. The public viewed them as a fun source of entertainment in the depressed post-war environment. Although it gave the people distraction from reality, the pranks and playfulness did not last long. Klan members soon grew tired of the mindless pranks and took a dark turn.

  • Racism In Nazi Germany

    Both Australia and Nazi Germany used scientific racism to justify their racial policies. Scientific racism is defined as a term used historically to justify the separation of races into superior and inferior categories as justified by pseudo-scientific evidence and the use of eugenics, the science of improving a gene pool by selectively choosing who may breed. The intent of Germany’s genocide against the Jewish population was to destroy all physical evidence of the Jewish race, as well as to demolish the right for the Jews to be considered, and to consider themselves, human. The approach of Imperial Australia during the early 18th to late 19th century was first the destruction of Aboriginal society by following a process of calculated neglect
