You believe that harmonious coexistence and equal opportunities among all races will lead to a more just and prosperous society.
Racial Unity is a political ideology that emphasizes the importance of unity and cooperation among different racial and ethnic groups. It advocates for the elimination of racial discrimination, prejudice, and inequality, and promotes mutual respect, understanding, and harmony among all races. This ideology is rooted in the belief that all humans, regardless of their racial or ethnic backgrounds, are equal and should be treated as such.
The history of the Racial Unity political ideology can be traced back to the civil rights movements of the mid-20th century, particularly in the United…

How could traveling to a place where you are the racial minority impact your worldview?
@9KKB9YL1yr1Y
If you are part of the majority and have never experienced discrimination based on your race, it could open your eyes to the real part of the world that still discriminates against minorities. Segregation is still a real world problem in some parts of the world that needs to be fixed and taken actions upon to eliminate it.
@9KKDWL61yr1Y
This comparison will show that other parts of the world still have rampant racial discrimination, but are not inherently applicable to the USA. Discrimination varies wildly by location even in the USA, so while this might give you some perspective, it cant be used to say this is what its like for a minority to live in the USA.
@9KK7W7R 1yr1Y
it can make others realize the discrimination placed against the minorities
@9KK8XBZ1yr1Y
It would show how we are more alike than different
it would impact everything world wide seeing that there is more of one race than all the others .
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you believe it's possible to fully understand the experiences of a race different from your own?
@9HCRCPL2yrs2Y
I don't think you could fully understand experiences of a different race from you because you don't have like a full point of view of what it is like. But you can still help people of other race through those struggles and try learning and trying to be a better person and try treating others equally.
No, everyone goes through different things in their lives and it is to much for us to know everything about some ones life.
@9HCRH772yrs2Y
I believe it's possible to understand, but maybe not fully.
@9HCRS9G2yrs2Y
I think not exactly you can, but you can understand from their point of view
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do stereotypes about races differ from the complex reality of individual experiences?
@9KXZLLY1yr1Y
Stereotypes, while some matches a surprising amount of individuals, should not be the defining idea of who each person is. Stereotypes should only serve as an initial baseline assumption, which should be updated upon learning more about the person.
@9KYQ3C21yr1Y
You shouldn’t go into meeting someone with a stereotype in mind. That will only alter the way you perceive them.
@9KXZ3PH1yr1Y
It differs because it takes away from the actual person because the stereotype might be all they think about
@9KXZL8N1yr1Y
There is an undeniable divide between races and just because people say that we are unified does not make it true. There are people in the world that believe that their race is superior and that causes issues.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How does it feel to see someone stand up against racial inequality?
I feel like they are the best type of people, and some of the bravest too. Some people do not really care much about that stuff, but the people who do care about it are very good people.
@9L572PB1yr1Y
I feels good because I believe it is important to notice and right wrongs especially when it comes to inequality.
@9L56W7F1yr1Y
it feels great when people stand up for racial unity
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can sharing a meal with someone from a different race be a step towards unity; if so, how?
@9KLK2B81yr1Y
No. Whether different races come together there will always be someone or a group of people that complain.
@9KNBSFG1yr1Y
sharing meals is very personal and I think having a conversation ad that closeness would give people a chance to get to know one another.
@9KLPM4D 1yr1Y
The response acts as if "a step towards unity" is meant to imply perfect balance and coexistence. Being nice to other people and sharing will not instantly solve anything, but it is a step towards a solution.
@9KLK6361yr1Y
Sure that is a weird idea that eating food with someone of a different race will equal an end to racism? Start with correctly educating at middleschool and high school level of the history of all minorities in the US and world. Not just black history but Latinx history Asian history all minorities and their struggles n hardships and discrimination need to be taught this would be a step in creating compassion and potentially decreasing racism in the younger generations and country as a whole.
@9KLJXG41yr1Y
Yes but it shouldn’t be just because they are a different race.
@9KLK5771yr1Y
Yes. Getting to know more diverse people will help to understand their perspectives.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How might the world change if every person made it their mission to understand and embrace racial differences?
@9L9H2HF1yr1Y
I don't believe there is such thing as racial differences in a way that actually matters, there are relevant race correlated cultural differences between people, but basically nothing directly tied to a persons race
@9L9GVG8 1yr1Y
Society hasn't been more openly racist in a long time. The movie "The Society of Magical Negroes" demonstrates this explicitly. There's a lot of efforts to seed division between races of people, especially from people who claim to care about "equity."
More people would have a deeper understanding of others and become less judgemental and reluctant to accept change. This would improve the world's fairness and socialness.
I think the we'd have an easier time accepting everyone and every culture even if it's something that we don't fully understand or agree with.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What role do you think education plays in fostering a mindset of racial unity?
@9HDYM3C2yrs2Y
It plays a big role in the mindset of racial unity when it comes to children
@9HDYKBP2yrs2Y
black students are more likely to be suspended or expelled, less likely to be placed in gifted programs and subject to lower expectations from their teachers.
@9HDYTZ72yrs2Y
Knowing more about how everyone is equal will help being not racist
@9HDYLJMWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
education should play a big role in educating students about racial inequalities and movements.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you describe the feeling of belonging in a diverse group?
@9JKRHXC1yr1Y
Some can for sure at times feel. left out, especially in this country nowadays.
@9JKTD4G 1yr1Y
The feeling of belonging in a diverse group might be of acceptance, and appreciation from other people in the group.
@9JKT2541yr1Y
I feel that Racial Unity is extremely important, for without unity among regular, everyday people, a society crumples from within.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In your vision of an ideal community, what role does racial diversity play?
@9JKRZSZ1yr1Y
It is important, but let it occur naturally. Even if it isn't fun, forcing people to get along never works, and you can't rush the process.
@9JLFLBS1yr1Y
Regardless of race, and the diversity we face with one another each day, the common curtsey is to treat one another with respect. Even when facing difficulties such as different personality, and overall, not getting along, racial diversity doesn't have to be a bad thing. I do agree it's important, but i have a different take on it. If those of different backgrounds and ethnicity wish to shine light upon their culture with each other, they can. If they wish not to, they don't have to. There is no need to get foul with each other.
@9JKRVF81yr1Y
that racial unity may have always been in tension with the differences of social level, class
@9JKRNHLLibertarian1yr1Y
It doesn't play any role we shouldn't care what race someone is or how many of a certain race are in a area
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you feel when you see people of different races working together towards a common goal?
@9HFQBCN2yrs2Y
I feel it's good that people from different backgrounds are working together and that they have something in common which would help them meet new people.
@9HFQBGM2yrs2Y
I think that its a step to a better America with less racism.
@9HFPZHV2yrs2Y
i feel happy that people all getting along and working together.
@9HFR4TJ2yrs2Y
People of different races should always come together since we are all human, we only have different skin colors because of environment
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can technology play a role in bridging racial divides, and if so, how?
Yes, there's a lot of misinformation and people dont really feel like there's consequences when they say something behind a screen
@9HJ878J2yrs2Y
they should help each other make the world a better place.
@9HJ7ZHFLibertarian2yrs2Y
sure it can due to haters being online and covered by a screen
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In what ways do you think racial biases affect your own perceptions and actions?
@9H4PD552yrs2Y
We form assumptions or draw conclusions based on our beliefs, emotions and our expectation.
@9H4PCNN 2yrs2Y
I think it affects all of us because now we have to be more careful on how we say things because if not then we could get sued.
@9H4P8GP2yrs2Y
refers to the phenomenon by which own-race faces are better recognized than faces of another race
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How should history be taught to improve understanding and respect between races?
@9J49YD71yr1Y
Teach true history. Do not hide anything do not white wash history. We can not learn from past failures if we do not know about them
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What do you think is the role of family in shaping attitudes toward racial unity?
@9J49S3V1yr1Y
Families should install this in their children whilst also respecting their own culture and race.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What dreams do you have for the future of your community in regards to racial unity?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you witnessed an act of racial unity that left a strong impression on you, and can you share that experience?
@claireemilycookSocialist 2yrs2Y
The BLM protests showed me that all races in the US are capable of coming together to stand for human rights. It profoundly changed me as a person.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would your daily life change if everyone embraced racial unity?
@9H6YJ9W2yrs2Y
Well I was raised to treat everyone the way you want to be treated. Therefore I don’t care where you are from as long as your not a threat to society or any one else . If so we hang you do as to not have this going on .
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can art and music provide a common language for racial unity; if so, can you share an example?
@9LHMJ671yr1Y
Of course art and music can help eliminate racial barriers. An example I can think of off the top of my head is hip-hop and rap being stereotypically "black" music, but then we have eminem -- a white man -- one of the most famous rappers of all.
@9LHMB3FRepublican1yr1Y
Yes for example Georgia O’Keeffe showed that women can create art and no matter who you are her art could tell a story that relates to everyone.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you could create a school project that promotes racial unity, what would it be?
@9KYHLMC1yr1Y
To have people come from different backgrounds and have them demonstrate how there are similarities in everyone's life
have a day where all race holidays are in one at school and they can bring something and tell about their race.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can you recall a moment when a cultural exchange with someone different significantly impacted your outlook?
@9JKSCXX1yr1Y
In middle school, learning about other religions, besides just Christianity, helped me become more aware and kind to people of other religions. Learning about other people's way of life helped me get a more positive look on life in general.
@9JKSC5L1yr1Y
I was detained at an airport at LAX to be interviewed for my ESTA, alone as a minor as my brother had to be with my American brother. It was wrong and unfair for me as a child to endure government processing in the absence of a parent.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How can youth lead the way in demonstrating that racial harmony is achievable?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What can we gain by understanding the struggles and triumphs of other races?
@9KY2J3G1yr1Y
I think it's terrible judgment to continue to promote anachronistic racial paradigms.
A person that should be chosen from the government.
