Racisms Prevalence as Seen Through Modern Technology Cade Kruse

Concepts that will be explored ● Primary Source: Malcolm X. ○ The concepts/concerns of Malcolm can still be seen today ● #Take. AKnee. Protests ● “The Entanglement and Opportunities of Science In Public Issues”

Malcolm X ● “Martin Luther King Jr. ’s Civil Rights struggle ‘duped’ African American people into thinking that they broke the chains of racism in this country” ○ There is a façade of equality and equity when in reality there is still the same structural racism embedded into society.

What is Equality? ● Malcolm’s definition of equality- “We don’t want to be equal with the white man. He is not the yardstick to be measured. We had equality before the white man came into existence. Equality means the potential to develop all of our dormant potential”.

Muhammad Ali ●“Every intelligent person wants his child to look like him” ●“I want to be with my own” ●"Why are all the angels white? Why ain't there no black angels? "

The #Take. AKnee Protests ● “Studying Colin Kaepernick shows how his experiences mirrored those of his predecessors. By examining social media, students can draw contemporary parallels to historical events and narratives”.

The #Take. AKnee Protests continued ● “In this current political climate, where Black Lives and everything associated with the Black Lives Matters movement are being so blatantly delegitimized, it is paramount that not only African American History be taught in higher education, but there also constant, improved pedagogical teaching practices to ensure the fields long term sustainability”.

“Black equality is viewed as militant”

Have Times Changed? ● Food for thought: ○ Has racism been reduced/eliminated? ○ Or is it just expressed in a less extroverted manner because of what has now been deemed socially (un)acceptable?

Article: “The Entanglement and Opportunities of Science in Public Issues” ● “The United States. . . maintains and funds world-class research, but does not yet fully incorporate scientific discussion in the public consideration of social problems”.

Structural Lens. George Lakoff ●“Framing”-“ Frames are mental structures that shape the way we see the world” ●“all words are defined relative to conceptual frames…when you hear a word, its frame is activated in your brain”

Article: “The Entanglement and Opportunities of Science in Public Issues” ● Technological boom has caused social complacency (my opinion). ● Certain areas of society are advancing at unprecedented rates. Others are completely stagnant.
