Race is a group of people who are distinguished from other groups on the basic of certain BIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS. It is one of the most important and determinant aspects in someone’s life. Even though I do not agree and accept this fact. Society has made it a major issue basing a person by the color of their skin, their culture, religious beliefs, and gender. Each one of these aspects determines what someone is capable of doing in society’s development. The color of a person’s skin has been for ages and centuries the most determinant aspect for someone. In early Americas black people were not considered people but animals. The white settlers used to have hateful attitudes against blacks. This could unfortunately lead to violent and evil actions. There were a lot of contributing factors that lead to this problem, but we cannot deny the fact that: social structural factors contributed in important part in “institutional racism” through four important areas-the media, education the economy and government Mass media: The portrayal of minorities in the media has tended to perpetuate various negative stereotypes: movie, TV program, radio (before 1960s) portrayed black American a lazy, inferior, stupid and dishonest. Nowadays, such things do not be made clearly but sometimes, it still implies and has a bad affect on people thinking.
