Relationship Between Racism and Privilege

To understand the relationship between racism and privilege it would be beneficial to look at the definition of both. Racism is defined as “prejudice, discrimination or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior” (Racism, n.d.). Privilege is defined as “a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people” (Privilege, n.d.). So, what is the relationship between the two? Race determines—while it is sad to say—what privileges you will be given. Racism evolves from those groups of individuals who believe themselves to come from a privileged group of people. Privilege corresponds to some form of oppression, in this case racism (Monahan, 2014). Privilege offers an understanding for oppression (Monahan, 2014).

The Case of Mary

Mary’s family backed racism and made it very clear that they thought their race was superior to the races of color. This idea made them think they were privileged and that if somehow someone in their family went against what they believed in—in this case, Mary—then it had to be the other race’s fault because they are “untrustworthy and bad”. Mary’s father’s idea that they were superior to others had Mary think that she could do no wrong—privilege—hence the reason she believed that the only reason she slept with a married man was because she was “brainwashed”. Mary exuded the attitude of privilege when she thought that the African American guy she was having the affair with was to blame rather than herself because of his race.

Impact of Racism and Privilege on Social Work Practice

Privilege keeps certain individuals in an oppressed position. Racism is a form of oppression. Social workers have an obligation to challenge social injustices such as oppression and racism (NASW, 2008). Social workers would encounter cases where they have clients that exhibit signs of racism and because of the NASW Code of Ethics they would have to address it. This can cause conflict when working with clients and make it challenging to work to with them.

Empowerment Perspective

The current challenge that Mary needs to overcome is finding her voice in her family. Mary took on the role as the “crazy sister” because she thought that was the only way to maintain a relationship with them. Using the empowerment perspective would allow a social worker to help Mary recognize her strengths so she can overcome the challenges she faces with her family. Mary knows her feelings about race are not right and that is a start in helping her. Empowerment perspective will help a social worker help Mary take control of her own circumstances and achieve her own goals (Rankin, 2006). In Mary’s family she is a bit powerless and it would be up to the social worker to help her reduce that powerlessness through an empowerment process (Rankin, 2006). To help Mary I would use skills such as empowerment through emphasizing strengths, reflective responding, and educating to get Mary to open up and make the necessary decisions to confront her family.

POST 2: Jeanie Truesdale Post

The relationship between racism and privilege is there were economic gains granted to white European Americans (Adams, Blumenfeld, Castaneda, Hackman, Peters, & Zuniga, 2013). Policies and possessive investments have created a wide gap between whites and oppressed racial communities (Adams, et al., 2013). Medical care also is considered when whites are more likely to receive the care than minorities (Adams, et al., 2013). White privilege is when all the ideas are considered of the white group and not afforded to other groups (National Association of Social Workers (NASW), 2007).

In the case of Mary, the first social worker was seen by Mary as being judgmental, because of the way Mary’s family believed in interracial relationships (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014). Working with individuals when the concepts of racism and privilege may relate to their treatment can be handled properly by the social worker. Mary felt the social worker was going against her racial beliefs, which may be a result of Mary insinuating that the social worker did not follow her values of normalcy (NASW, 2007). Mary felt by being attracted to the African American man, that she was different and going against the family values (Plummer, et al., 2014).

The impact of racism and privilege on social work practice is that when there has been success in ending oppression, racism, and poverty, it then changes the white privilege support (NASW, 2007). The idea of social work is to work towards ending injustices (NASW, 2007). Addressing any dominance within a social work practice and working with each other, regardless of race, will help end industrial racism over time (NASW, 2007).

Recommendations for how I as a social worker might use an empowerment perspective when responding to Mary would be to let Mary know that being involved with someone outside of her own race or beliefs does not make her different from the rest of her family (Plummer, et all, 2014). Mary felt judged by her previous social worker, so I would make sure Mary was comfortable speaking with me (Plummer, et al., 2014). While Mary may not have been able to continue her relationship with the African American man, because he was married, I would encourage Mary to not let others judge her and for her to make her own choices (Plummer et al., 2014).

Discussion-Board-We-are-hearing-of-the-possibility-of-going-to-war-with-North-Korea

We are hearing of the possibility of going to war with North Korea.

What do you think is the way to go?

President Trump seems to be advocating this action. What say you?

*Please write 130 words at least about the above one as ur opinion

* Also, Please write two comments about my classmates. Each of them at least 50 words

The First comment is to Jemel Kate Adaya


The U.S. has always had tension and a hostile relationship with North Korea since the Korean War in the 1950s. President Donald Trump and many Americans feel that while we are taking an aggressive stance, they feel that this is the only possible path due to failure of all diplomatic overtures and UN sanctions to this point. Since the Korean War, United States has maintained a strong military force in South Korea. North Korea has abused and used up the good will of the world such as testing nuclear weapons or other weapons that are capable of striking U.S. targets thousands of miles away. It’s status as a nuclear power, threatening the destruction of many cities world wide, threatens everyone’s safety not because they could destroy all of America but because the lose of one city is too horrible to risk and they must be stopped at all costs. They have reached a point of “critical mass” in which they are too dangerous to us to allow their ICBMs.

The second comment is to Jared Arthur

his time last year I was stationed in Camp Hovey in South Korea and went through several alerts after the North launched a test missile. At the time, North Korea was more of a nuisance than a threat. Since then they have developed longer ranging missiles that could reach US territories. I’m all for going to war if North Korea strikes first but until then the US should use every resource to de-escalate tensions with North Korea. Between the North Korean leader Kim Jung Un, and President Trump, they share seven years of political power and both have the power to start a war. Trump has stated that he would bring “Fire and fury” to NK if they should attack. I see this as more of a military tactic than a threat because Kim Jung Un has been threatening to destroy the US and its allies for years and now that his threats are being answered, he is in a sense stalemated. I am unsure of what the President plans to do but he is definitely not following in previous Presidents’ footsteps. The last thing the US needs is to fight two simultaneous wars just because of a yelling match between two leaders.

CASE-ANALYSIS-Whistleblower-

This case describes an ethical dilemma faced by Amma Adobea. Amma works for APM, a micro-finance and small-business-finance organization. (Micro-finance organizations provide very small loans to people who want to start or expand small businesses. The amounts of these loans are often too small to interest banks, so an alternative source of credit is needed.

Amma attends an annual meeting of APM, where top managers got large “”gifts” (a new car at her level of management), and even lower-level employees received incentives. Amma is concerned about these “incentives” because the organization’s profits have been declining in recent years, while the amount of money spent on executive rewards has gone up and up. The current CEO seems to be spending significant sums of money on activities that are not directly connected to the financial health of the organization.

Discussion Questions:

1. What action do you think Amma is about to take? What options might she be considering?
Amma’s discomfort with the behavior of top management leads me to believe she is going to the press, or to some regulatory agency, to “blow the whistle” on the unethical behavior by top management at APM. She may be planning to resign first, however; resigning before she is fired by top management will give her greater credibility. It is unlikely that she will do nothing at all, given her level of distress and concern for the organization and its stakeholders.
If she chooses to go to the press, she will be burning her bridges at APM and will likely lose her job. Depending on how influential top management at APM is across the alternative finance industry, she might be blackballed by the entire industry and not be able to find another job. She will need to have copies of documentation showing the excess spending, and taking that information out of the firm might lead to violations of laws that govern operations of such organizations. This is the highest-risk option that she can take.
