Technological Racism
Charles, Camille Zubrinsky. "The Dynamics of Racial Residential Segregation." Annual Review
of Sociology 29 (2003): 167-207. Print. This article focuses on why races have become
segregated, the mechanism that has caused it. The argument is that past discrimination
caused African American families to get lower paying jobs, so they were force to move
into poorer neighborhoods. This has caused a ghetto effect. This covers racism, and
economic classing. The author is a professor of Sociology at Pennsylvania University,
and the director of Africana studies. The source does not appear biased, as she shared
both sides of the story. Her goal is to bring understanding to what has caused the
phenomenon, which many people have not even thought about. This source was helpful
to me in helping me to understand why minorities may be segregated online as well. I
work this into my conclusion on what can fix the problem of segregation, and this gives
the answer of reverse segregation, and ending racism to reverse the segregation online,
and the problems that come from it.
Cooper, Mary H. The Growing Danger of Hate Groups. I Vol. Washington, D.C., United States:
CQ Press, 1989. Print. CQ Researcher Online. This article expresses the increasing
danger of groups like the KKK in the United States. The argument is that groups are
becoming more organized; white supremacy groups are forming as one group by the
uniting factor of religion. They believe that their hate is justified by religion. Mary H.
Cooper received her B.A. in English from the Catholic University of America and
recently completed an M.A. in writing from the Johns Hopkins University. She is a
assistant editor at Change, a Washington D.C.-based magazine about higher education.
She is objective in her approach and has the goal of helping us to understand why so
many hate crimes are being committed in the growing world. This information was
helpful in helping me to tie in what can happen due to the internet prejudice. People can
share their views on social media sites, and then hate groups can grow rapidly. I will use
this to express what can happen if we keep living in the dark and not seeing identifying to
the public what we are doing by holding prejudice, and by not exposing ourselves to
understand and help others.

Costello, Mary. "Blacks in the News Media." Editorial Research Reports 1972. Vol. II.
Washington: CQ Press, 1972. 621-44. CQ Researcher. Web. 15 Oct. 2012. This report
argues that more African American people should be in the media, which would
introduce more of the white population to what it is like to be an African American living
in the US. This is written for the editorial research reports, which sports a lot helpful
research for helping us understand what is happening in the US. The author is well
known for many editorial reports, including a book about presidential impeachment, and
is held in very high regard. The source does not appear to be biased, and the goal of the
source is to teach people about the differences between white and black people in media
positions. This source was helpful because it talks about the racial differences in the
world and how many white individuals’ associate people of darker skin color to ghettos.
This helps shape my argument that people like to be with like people, and shy away from
MySpace because they view it as more of a social media ghetto.
Daniels, Jessie. "Cyber Racism: White Supremacy Online and the New Attack on Civil
Rights." Visual Studies 26.1 (2011): 79-. Print. This book argues that there are many
online websites that are cloaked, deliberately hiding themselves but sharing their
propaganda in a hidden way on their websites. This covers the way that visual design can
be used to disguise hidden political propaganda, and how we need to have a better
knowledge on internet literacy to recognize the signs. The author has an MA and PhD in
Sociology from the University of Texas at Austin. The author is unbiased and has the
goal of teaching people about the schemes of the white supremacy movement and how
they are trying to propagate through use of the internet. This was helpful in helping form
my argument that prejudice is more visible online, even away from social media. We can
see it even in some sites if we open our eyes to certain visual cues that are being used.
Kendall, Lori. "Meaning and Identity in “Cyberspace”: The Performance of Gender, Class, and
Race Online." Symbolic Interaction 21.2 (1998): 129-53. Web. The main argument in this
article is that people’s identity is more fluid online since there is no face to face meeting.
The topic covered include gender, race, and socioeconomic class. Lori Kendall is an
associate professor at the I school at Illinois with a Ph.D. in Sociology. The source if
unbiased and is sharing her finding through the research she has conducted using a blog
platform called mud. The reason this source was helpful is that she explains the reason
why peoples true identity seems to come out when using online use. This shapes my
argument by giving reasoning why people might tend to show their prejudices online by
choosing one social media platform instead of the other. I will use this in my essay to
explain the reasoning why people show prejudice or bias online and not in real life.
Pulido, Laura. "Rethinking Environmental Racism: White Privilege and Urban Development in
Southern California." Annals of the Association of American Geographers 90.1 (2000):
12-40. Web. This article talks about rethinking the parameters of what racism is in an
environmental stand point. This is done by looking at how racism is defined in literature,
and then the author addresses how this relates to environmental racism. Laura Pulido

Ph.D. is a Professor of American Studies and Ethnicity at University of South Carolina
and researches race and political activism. This source is objective, and has the goal of
helping people understand how we live our lives very race oriented, in a huge way, just
deciding where we live. The information was helpful and will be used to set parameters
for what racism is today, and how we can change the parameters of what literature says
about racism as it has changed over time.
Salvatore, Jessica, and J. Nicole Shelton. "Cognitive Costs of Exposure to Racial
Prejudice." Psychological Science 18.9 (2007): 810-5. Web. This study argues that racial
exposure can affect cognitive functioning in everyday life. It covers ambiguous and
blatant cues to prejudice. Jessica Salvatore received a Ph.D. in Psychology from
Princeton University in 2007. Nicole Shelton received her Ph.D. in Psychology at
University of Virginia and now teaches Psychology at Princeton University. This source
is unbiased with a goal of exposing to people what effects racial discrimination have on
people in their everyday life. The research helped me to explain why discrimination is a
bad thing. It will help shape my argument by creating a background on how prejudices
affect the people that it is intended toward.
Subrahmanyam, Kaveri, and Patricia Greenfield. "Online Communication and Adolescent
Relationships." The Future of Children 18.1, Children and Electronic Media (2008): 11946. Web. This publication argues that there are both positive and negative effects of
technology of the coming generations. Young adults mainly use the internet to keep in
touch and learn more about people they meet in public, but can also be preyed upon, or
can come across racism online. Dr. Kaveri Subrahmanyam is one of the head professors
of psychology at California State University The point is just to give the reader
information on both the positive and negative effects of technology on adolescents. The
article covers adolescent relationships through email, instant messaging, social media,
and text messaging. This was published by Princeton university which is very reputable.
This article was helpful in explaining the positive effects of social media, instead of just
focusing on the prejudices of adolescents that is shown by their choice of social media
platform.
S. Craig Watkins. "The Young and the Digital." Science 9 Nov. 2001: 1283-84. Science Online.
Web. 24 Dec. 2009.Greene, Stuart and April Lidinsky, eds. From Inquiry to Academic
Writing. Boston: Bedford/St. Martin’s, 2008. Print. This Article explains that we have not
come as far as a society as we may believe. Prejudices are still in place, though possibly
less, but we still prefer to be around like people, and tend to make stigmas with MySpace
since mostly African American or Hispanic people use it. This covers the use of blogs
and social media platforms. The author is a professor of radio-TV-film at University of
Texas, and is one of the leading researchers in how adolescents use social media
platforms. The source is unbiased with a goal of making things known to people so that
we can change the way we think. This source was helpful in making me see the problem
that we face within a cyber world, how what we really think can be shown just simply in

which social media platforms we do and do not use. This helps me shape my argument by
showing how we can see prejudice just by seeing if someone only has a Facebook. This
source will be used as the backbone to my argumentative essay.
Kuran, Timur, and Edward J. McCaffery. "Sex Differences in the Acceptability of
Discrimination." Political Research Quarterly 61.2 (2008): 228-38. Web. This article
explains that men are more tolerant of discrimination. The author conducted a phone
survey to find the difference between men and women as far as their tolerance to being
exposed to prejudice. Timur Kuran is a Professor of Economics and Political Science and
Gorter Family Professor in Islamic Studies at Duke University. The author is unbiased
with simply the goal of finding whether men or women are more tolerant to bias. This
study was helpful in explaining which gender is most likely to overstate the and
understate their bias. I will tie this into my argumentative essay by talking about who is
most likely to view something as prejudice, as women are more likely to notice than men
are.
