WHITE SOCIALIZATION
The objective of white Southern parent’s instruction of their children was to have the new Jim Crow South replicate the same social order as slavery. This meant emphasizing the power of white skin and the importance of keeping whiteness separate from blackness (DuRocher, 14). White parents instilled a fear of ‘the slave becoming the master,’ as the power of whites came directly from African American’s lack of power. Thus, it was important for white parents to regulate social spaces as their children got older in order to avoid interactions between them and African Americans. White children were barred by their parents from eating with blacks, as such interactions represented a disruption of social order. Such sharing of

Lessons from Home: The Education of a White Child in the Jim Crow South,” Mary Dilg writes about her own experience as a young white girl growing up in an isolated, rural area of the Jim Crow South. Dilg describes the ways in which areas of the South worked to isolate themselves from conflicting views, thus maintaining racist ideologies and keeping segregation strong. She notes the manners and concepts that white children were taught at school in relation to race, and argues that such rules served to silence white children, keeping them from questioning the system or fully understanding the other side. Dilg admits that if she had not later moved north and pursued a better, less twisted education, these ideologies would still hold her. She emphasizes the power of schooling, and how teaching can be used and abused. It was very difficult for white Southerners to unlearn what they had been taught about racial boundaries and stereotypes, as Southern schools forcefully instilled racist beliefs. Thus, Dilg acknowledges that combatting the white supremacist ideals she learned as a child must be a conscious choice to this day, as such rules and beliefs cannot simply be erased. Unfortunately, many white Southerners did not move out of their isolated, racist arenas, or even think to question in the first place, leaving the South a racially charged landmine set to blow at any risk of power

- Historical Methodologyanalytical essayFrom the beginning of the book, Woodward argues that prior to Jim Crow, segregation in the Southern states was not as strong as many assume. To support this claim he cites Slavery in the Cities, where author Richard C. Wade provides evidence for segregation while at the same time states that, “‘In every city in Dixie…blacks and whites lived side by side, sharing the same premises if not equal facilities and living constantly in each other’s presence.’”[1] In the rural areas during slavery, African Americans and whites also had a large amount of social interaction, because, as Woodward explains, “control was best maintained by a large degree of physical contact and association.”[2]

My dad opened the door to my classroom, and there was a hush of silence. Everyone's eyes were fixed on my father and me. He told the teacher why I was late, gave me a kiss goodbye and left for work. As I sat down at my seat, all of my so-called friends called me names and teased me. The students teased me not because I was late, but because my father was black. They were too young to understand. All of this time, they thought that I was white, because I had fare skin like them, therefore I had to be white. Growing up having a white mother and a black father was tough. To some people, being black and white is a contradiction in itself. People thought that I had to be one or the other, but not both. I thought that I was fine the way I was. But like myself, Shelby Steele was stuck in between two opposite forces of his double bind. He was black and middle class, both having significant roles in his life. "Race, he insisted, blurred class distinctions among blacks. If you were black, you were just black and that was that" (Steele 211).

Mary Mebane points out, white people “could sit anywhere they choose, even in the colored section. Only the black passengers had to obey segregation laws.” When Mebane was young, she saw a conflict on the bus. The driver asked a black person who sat in the ‘no-man’s-land’ to move back to colored section to give the seat for the white person who was standing on the bus because the bus was full. Segregation on the bus represented how white people unequally treat black people. When black people refused this driver to move, the driver try to send them to police. Black people were living in the shadow of racism and segregation at that time. However, that situation still affects school system and community now. Mebane asserts, “It was a world without option.” Black people have lower economic and social status because they are restricted to a small box because of segregation. “In Six Decades After Brown Ruling, in US Schools Still Segregated”, Dexter Mullins claims that in some schools like Valley West Elementary School in Houston, about 90% of people are not white people. These kinds of schools do not have enough funds to support adequate school resource to these students, and these students have lower opportunities to contact with cultural diversity.

This residual racism remained a constant barrier to racial progress and Asch argued within his work it still has a lasting effect. African Americans had a difficult time achieving political power even through the 1970’s because of the lack of education. In Sunflower County schools, the school board, administration, and a large majority of the teachers were white. Many white children were pulled out of public schools for a better education and more opportunity at private institutions. Since a majority of the students left, it was difficult for white people to want to fund a school that taught a majority of African American students. Economically, African Americans were probably worse off after the Civil Rights Movement because sharecropping had ended and the individuals still remained vulnerable to economic pressure. The Civil Rights Movement provided a way for African Americans to feel empowered to stand up against white supremacy. However, the movement was not successful in achieving full freedom it had fought long and hard to gain. Asch’s book allows readers to understand why racial resentment as well as clear economic, social, and political barriers still exist in the south today. African Americans, along

During slavery freed slaves and those held captive, organized to educate themselves. After emancipation the value of education became even more important to ex-slaves, as it was their emblem of freedom and a means to full participation in American Society (Newby & Tyack, 1971). During this time many schools for African Americans were both founded and maintained by African Americans. African Americans continued to provide education throughout their own communities well into the 1930’s (Green, McIntosh, Cook-Morales, & Robinson-Zanartu, 2005). The atmosphere of these schools resembled a family. The teachers along with principals extended the role of parenting and shaped student learning and discipline (Siddle-Walker, cited in Morris, 1999). African American Schools were embedded within the community and were viewed as good.

Woodward put it best when he stated, “The policies of proscription, segregation, and disfranchisement that are often described as the immutable ‘folkways’ of the South, impervious alike to legislative reform and armed intervention, are of a more recent origin.” (65) He wanted to show how the roots of the system were not integrated with slavery. Jim Crow laws and slavery were both horrible institutions, but they existed as two seperate entities. Woodward does not claim the South to be picturesque, because the Jim Crow laws were not established in the region. The South established Jim Crow laws and made them worse than found in the North. Woodward’s goal was not to protect the South’s legacy, but to give a clearer picture of the facts regarding the Jim Crow laws.

Blacks attended separate schools from whites, were barred from pools and parks where whites swam and played, from cafes and hotels where whites ate and slept. On sidewalks, they were expected to step aside for whites. It took a brave person to challenge this system, when those that did suffered a white storm of rancour.

The unofficial leader of this band of students was Ernest Green.

1227 wordsRead More - Racism in Relation to Educationanalytical essayThere have been significant strides to deconstruct the explicit forms of racism such as segregation within education through historical instances such as Brown v. Board of Education, integration attempts post Jim Crow era, and a variety of others but there is a hesitation to talk about the roots of origination for this issue. Why is it easier to continue the negligence of race rather than address it, maybe even solve for inequality in privilege? Ideally, our education system constitutes a free space to nurture thought. What is racism? Where does it come from? How does it affect us and where all is it present? It would be interesting to note the diversity of responses one would get if such questions were asked– what forms are visible to some of us versus others? Race should be an integral part of discussion within education. A possible starting point is participating in a thought experiment of the outcomes of abolishing slavery in the modern state through the abolishment of prisons. By tracing historical issues of the past within education and comparing it to present conditions of the institutional negligence of race, the pragmatic solution of increased dialogue emerges. Such a solution will attempt to create empathetic free-thinkers to reform the structural violence that occurs outside of the education system within the state due to racism.

2031 wordsRead More - Vann Woodward's The Strange Career of Jim Crowanalytical essayThe original edition of The Strange Career of Jim Crow had as its thesis that segregation and Jim Crow Laws were a relative late comer in race relations in the South only dating to the late 1880s and early 1890s. Also part of that thesis is that race relations in the South were not static, that a great deal of change has occurred in the dynamics of race relations. Woodward presents a clear argument that segregation in the South did not really start forming until the 1890s. One of the key components of his argument is the close contact of the races during slavery and the Reconstruction period. During slavery the two races while not living harmoniously with each other did have constant contact with each other in the South. This c...
