Case: Racially charged comments for the sake of humor
Teens today use humor to mask a myriad of racial issues. It is not uncommon to hear a student say "Thanks, Obama" to something that has nothing to do with our President or for an African American students to claim "racism!" with a big smile on their face over something that clearly had nothing to do with race. Many teens love the Key and Peele comedy shorts that plays off of this type of humor as well. As teachers, how should we address this or use it? Is their humor healthy or counterproductive?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I once read a study that was based off of journal entries completed voluntarily by college students. Their assignment was to keep a journal with them and write about anything that happened in their daily life that had to do with race. Journals were kept by Caucasian students and students of color. The journals shared insights to ethnically inappropriate names, interactions with people on the sidewalk, and how their friends interacted with their roommates who were of another race. Several of the journal entries contained student experiences with a friend telling a racist joke, everyone laughing, but no one actually being offended. Students began to realize that until they actually became offended and stood up to their friends in these situations that racism would never cease. Even though this study was done by a collegiate group of students, I think it would still be appropriate for high school students in order to help them realize that their actions are inappropriate. |

| Comments: I never really thought about having the students keep a journal about their daily life that had to with race. I also believe recent events and knowing what the government has to do with races issue. I really enjoy reading your solution this is a great idea. |

| Comments: I see this as a well-thought out, comprehensive response to a tough issue. There isn't going to be one thing that solves class differences in this country, but starting by having students be introspective and exposing them to people outside of their comfort zone is a good start. |
