Hi, my name is Veronnica or Ronnie. I go by she/her, I grew up in Apple valley California and now I live in Dtla. I study fashion design
pt.2
i don’t have a memory that connects me to my heritage but i would say my aunts make me feel most connected . I love both sides of my heritage. I think big thing for me to over come was my bias against cops. My brother was killed by one when I was 12 and I hate a really deep hate for a long time. I feel like I have but never really took notice cause it what never as bad as what some of my family has experienced.
pt.3
Critical Race Theory (CRT) is an analytical framework that examines how race and racism intersect with other forms of social stratification and systemic power dynamics. It originated in the field of legal studies and explores how laws and institutions contribute to racial inequalities. CRT asserts that racism is not just an individual prejudice but a systemic issue embedded in societal structures.
Many critics argue that CRT is often misunderstood or misrepresented. It is sometimes portrayed as an extreme or divisive ideology, leading to confusion and debate about its actual principles and goals.
CRT has become a contentious issue in political and educational debates, particularly in discussions about curriculum in schools. Critics argue that CRT promotes division and focuses too much on race, while supporters contend that it provides a necessary framework for addressing and understanding systemic inequalities.

What do you find most surprising, shocking, or disturbing, and why?
Something I found surprising was that “slavery” and “In-slaved” were two different terms and had completely different meanings, I personally thought they were the same thing. When he explained the two and why they were different, it made sense.
What had the greatest impact on you? Be specific and explain your answers.
I think this entire topic has always had a huge impact on me personally. I like being able to learn about my culture and what truly happened to people who were apart of slavery and who were in-slaved. This entire topic is horrific and devastating. The fact America went through an entire Civil War just because of slavery. Certain states had made written documents to say they were leaving the Union to keep slavery. They did not win, thankfully, and went back to the states to free Black People which was a major shift in history.
Is there a solution to overcome the issue you explored?
We still need to figure out why there are certain people in this world who are racist and want to this day to keep slavery around. It’s so inhumane… people are insane. If we could fully end slavery that would be the best thing ever, but sadly there are just people in this world who are truly evil
Reflection question: (from the video interview with Professor Andre’ Barnwell)
Where did we come from to where we are now with these horrible murders to black people and systemic racism?
I feel like certain places in this world are still racist and continue to murder innocent black people because people are just truly evil. We are an entire world that is still learning equality, peace, love, and unity. Especially when the Black Lives Matter movement started, people were in rage about it, but why? I always sit back and think what is so wrong about fighting for equality for black people? Absolutely nothing, sadly some people think differently. This world is so scary and confusing with how people think and believe. We think things are better and have evolved but realistically times have changed but murders towards innocent black people and systemic racism are still happening every single day.
What was your biggest take-away from the interview?
I found it inspiring and interesting to hear Professor Barnwell speak about the History of American Slavery. I had him last trimester for the first time and he is a wonderful professor, so to hear his story and everything he knows about the History of American Slavery was cool to learn

The “Oero” Barbie. It’s argued it’s not racist but I’ve heard that Oreo is a term people say when a black person acts white. Which just seems derogatory .They released a statement white and black version of this doll and only ended up recalling the black one. Pt.2Advertisers may use bias to appeal to certain demographics or reinforce existing attitudes. For example, an ad might cater to gender or racial biases to resonate with specific groups, sometimes perpetuating stereotypes. Ads often rely on stereotypes to quickly communicate messages. While this can make an ad more relatable or memorable, it can also reinforce negative or simplistic views about certain groups. Advertisers make assumptions about their target audience’s values, behaviors, and preferences. These assumptions shape the ad’s content, messaging, and imagery to align with perceived consumer needs or desires. The perspective from which an ad is created influences its tone, message, and appeal. For instance, an ad might reflect the perspective of a particular cultural or social group, which can impact how different audiences interpret and respond to the ad.
pt.3i think it’s important to always asked questions and to try and see both sides. Unless u can clearly look at both options youll be biased.
pt.4i feel like I’m constantly dealing with the biased with men, I prejudge all of them based on their gender. I’m getting better at not though.

the film Get out is absolutely at its core a racial commentary. I honestly dont see how it could interpreted any other way. they literally had an auction for the main character, it is not a satire on “racial lecturing”. in jordan peele’s own words, black people are constantly being told that they see racism where there isn’t any. he thought that fit very nicely into the mold of character in a horror movie constantly being told that their perception of reality is false (when it really isn’t).the entire transplant element of the story is a commentary on America’s fetishization/cultural appropriation of black people.

What had the greatest impact on you and why from the content we covered (or began to cover) in class? The Jim Crow Laws were disgusting, sad, horrible, hateful laws that thankfully will never return. I am sad that these laws were even a thing to begin with; segregation was such an awful time to live in. The fact African American and Black people were not allowed to use the same things as white people is just heartbreaking.
1) Based on what we have seen so far, what do you find most surprising, shocking, or disturbing, and why? What had the greatest impact on you? Be specific and explain your answers. Is there a solution to overcome the issue you explored? I feel like Ray Torre’s entire life story was such an insane story really. Everything he went through at such a young age was very intense. From getting kicked out of his parents’ house at such a young age, to dealing with drugs, gang violence, getting caught, and being locked up to finally completely changing his life around is truly an inspiring story. Going from California to realizing the home he lived in was “Hot” around the streets so he moved to Las Vegas; to the city where you really can get into a lot of trouble, and he did. Going from all that lifestyle to now being a celebrity chauffeur is truly a second chance at life. I feel his story could be turned into a movie.
2) Watch 1 homework video from the homework course slides section. Write a reaction/reflection to what you saw. Feel free to add articles or video links to expand your exploration. If you do, please cite it. A Hate Crime is a criminal offense against a person or property that’s motivated by bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity; but hate itself is not a crime…
Hate Crimes have gotten so bad, especially with the newest generations and technology. Social media is one of the biggest platforms that people use to spread Hate Crimes towards people and places. Back then we didn’t have as much social media as we do today. It has gotten to the point where people will end up committing suicide, which is heartbreaking. Hate Crimes have become so “normal” almost when it comes to social media, especially when people are trying to “cancel” someone because of something they did. Yes, it is a good idea for that person to be off the internet BUT you should never spread horrendous messages, threats, and Hate Crimes to people just because of something they said or have done… (depending on the situation).
