Official discusses racism in society
By TANYA WILLIAMS
Reporter of THE BATTALION
Institutionalized racism has
trapped minorities throughout^
American culture and society, said
Dallas County Commissioner
John Wiley Price Tuesday to a pro
gram hosted by Alpha Phi Alpha
Fraternity.
Fraternity memfe-er Roderick
Diggs opened the late evening
program by defining institutional
ized racism as the infiltration of
racism into various parts of life
which results in the robbing of a
person's rights by an unfair sys
tem.
"In the streets, where racial ten
sions result in thousands of deaths
each year, racism has come to
dwell; in the workplace where
racial biases serve to keep others
from advancing up the corporate
ladder, racism has come to dwell,"
Diggs said. "Perhaps, even sad
dest of all, racism has diffused
into our learning institutions
where, along with the vast
amount of book knowledge we ac
quire, we are systematically
robbed of our pride, our heritage,
and are taught that this is the way
of the world." •
Mayphous Collins, another fra
ternity member, added to Diggs'
definition by giving an example of
the various trappings America has
placed on African-Americans and
other minorities.
"America has systematically en
trapped minorities, in particular
African-American people, in a
never-ending cycle of institution
alized racism," Collins said.
"Racism and discrimination in
housing, education, employment,
and income keeps us (African-
Americans) as second class citi
zens in the United States. Ameri
ca has set up a system which mi
norities cannot escape."
Price gave his own definition of
institutionalized racism.
"Institutionalized racism is not
racism in its simplest form," he
said. "It's not pure prejudice or
the individual single act of dis
crimination. Racism allows, or
rather shall I say, requires its vic
tims to blame themselves for the
misfortunes. "Institutionalized
racism demands that the victim be
fixed to fit the institution and not
the other way around."
Price went on to point out that
the reason many black children
are illiterate is always pointed to
the laziness of the child and par
ent, but never to the fact that
