Black people Unit 2
Rosa Parks: was
one of the first black ladies who refused to obey the unwritten law ->

Unit2/ Nr. 4/ LC:
The sociologist Ann Peters is talking about
prejudices. There are different types- so called stereo- types: groups of
professions, of the age, of races, of sexes, of political things, of marginal.
The sad thing is that the victims often are powerless. The white people often
grow up with this prejudices, they learn these from society and they are not
aware of them. In our society black stands for negative and white for positive
things. Some examples: the black market, the black sheep of the family, to
blackmail, blackouts but to white- wash somebody, white lies. This is an
interest phenomenon. You never connect positives things with the color black.
Prejudices against races have shaped the darkest
chapters of human history -> Jews, black people,
Jews: Tiberius was a Roman Emperor. In the time of Tiberius
Palestine was a Roman Province -> capital
was Jerusalem (city of peace)-
Jews had never accepted Roman supremacy
- 70 a. d. Tiberius destroyed Jerusalem and its temple - Jews went away ->
they scattered all over the world -> movement called DIASPORA -> wherever
they went they formed minorities - they only wanted to survive- the persecution
of the Jews reached the climax in the 20th century in the
HOLOCAUST.
