Articles
Scolar Articles:
This article talks about experiences of racial inequalities that children and adolescents face in their everyday life. It also addresses the different social worlds that teens of diverse racial and ethnic groups experience. One part of the article that I read discusses how American teens deal with conflicts with their parents, the pressures they face from other teens, their school experiences, and their religious beliefs. After I finished reading this aricle I realized that these experiences are going to have a significant impact on teens adult lives and also their potential for social mobility. It also made me think that if people directly confronted this topic than we would have a better understanding of inequality in American life.
In this article it focuses on mixed race and inter-ethnic families that explores their understandings of race, nation and culture, and interrrogates. It talks about the influences that television and photographs have on children's ideas about race. Another thing it addresses is how children use their memories and stories to talk about the racial differences in their own families. This article does a good job of portraying the effectiveness of teaching in schools and the parental concerns over social mobility and social acceptability of their children. It states that social scientists today claim that we now live in a "post-race" society, where "race" has been replaced by ethnicity.
This article demonstrates the ways minority groups create and maintain collective identities and action. It also explains the relationships between racism in schools and unemployment. One problem it talked about is the ways social deprivation is different from racial/class status. This article discusses the West Indian involvement and how their academic activities are analysed. Another thing that the article addresses is how teens educational experiences are different from class and gender groups.
News Articles:
This article tells the story of a 15 year old boy named Seth that had a rock hurled at him by a white teenager. Seth, who is a mixed black, white and American Indian, has been called names before but that was the first time he was associated with violence because of his race. He was very shocked and didn't expect something like that would happen to him. After this story came out people were outraged and hurt. I think this story is important because our society needs to take a stand about these kind of things. It made me think that victims of these incidents are not people that are different, they are just like us.
In this article it talks about the history of racism and how it has changed over time. It gives examples of racism such as slavery, which was later accomplished. It also explains the important features of racism. One feature it discussed was peoples attitudes regarding slaves and slavery. It stated that a person’s social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics. One more element that it discussed was racial separatism and how different races should remain segregated and apart from one another.

Running Thesis Statements
#1. Today teenagers are the most racially diverse group of Americans in history. Young people today are also more racially tolerant than any previous generation. More of them are growing up in multicultural households than ever before.
#2. In the 1950's the Brown vs. The Board of Education case ruled that racial segregation of schools was illegal and racial prejudice remains very much a part of life in America for many young people.
#3. At the white schools, the buildings, textbooks, playground equipment, and even the chalk for the blackboards were good quality. At the black schools, the books were likely to be out of date, educational materials were scarce, and the facilities were often in need of repair.

Television Show/Episode
Quotes from the Movie Remember the Titans
“People say that it can't work, black and white. Here, we make it work every day. We still have our disagreements, of course, but before we reach for hate, always, always, we remember the Titans.”
"Tonight we've got Hayfield. Like all the other schools in this conference, they're all white. They don't have to worry about race. We do. let me tell you something: you don't let anyone come between us. Nothing tears us apart. In Greek mythology, the Titans were greater even than the gods. They ruled their universe with absolute power. Well that football field out there, that's our universe. Let's rule it like titans.”
"Now I may be a mean cuss. But I'm the same mean cuss with everybody out there on that football field. The world don't give a damn about how sensitive these kids are, especially the young black kids. You ain't doin' these kids a favor by patronizing them. You crippling them; You crippling them for life.”
Big Ju: What you doin' man

Louie Lastik: Man, I don't have any people. I'm with everybody, Julius.
Petey Jones: Yeah, he's just a light-skinned brother.
Big Ju: Yeah, and I'm a dark-skinned cracker.

Big Ju: Man, I sure am sorry, man. I should have been there with you.
Bertier: What are you talking about? You would've been in that bed right next to me.
Big Ju: You can't be hurt like this. You - you're Superman.
Bertier: I was afraid of you, Julius. I only saw what I was afraid of, and now I know I was only hating my brother.
Big Ju: I'll tell you what, though. Um, when all this is over... me and you are gonna move out to the same neighborhood together. OK? And, um... and we'll get old, and we'll get fat. And there ain't gonna be all this black-white between us.
