The State Board of Education Essays - Social Constructionism

Just because we are white does it mean we are superior which gives us the right to black label people, for wrong doing. I do not think anyone has the right to label anyone for anything even if it is of a wrong doing so why do white people. Why does our community look for a black label as an answer for a crime? Why do we label our indigenous people? Is it fair to judge somebody because of his or her colour or race? Just because they are different from us, does it give us an excuse to inflict our troubles and our problems on them. What has caused our racist attitude towards Aboriginals in our society? Can it go as far back as our first settlement experiences with the natives? Racism was eventually brought about because of the extreme differences in society which remain a major negative factor when trying to mix with our indigenous people. The societies didn?t mix well together because of the differences in attitudes towards each other?s cultures. That?s one of the reasons why the start of racism eventually broke out between the societies.
