Du Bois Vs. CoxEssay Preview: Du Bois Vs. CoxReport this essayDu Bois vs. CoxEveryone has a different technique of evaluating the concept of race. The question that I wanted to ask is how these writers are using their experiences to development their own opinion. How did this concept of race develop into the immense issue we are facing now? According to Oliver C. Cox, the origin of race relations starts with ideas of ethnocentrism, intolerance, and racism. W. E. B. Du Bois said that if what want to find the truth out about race we need to look at the history of the world past the last centuries. The origin of race in my judgment as resulted from both history and the concepts mentioned in Coxs opinion.
–Anonymous, June 28, 2010Parks and sports in the United States are a major part of American life. But there hasn’t been much focus on sports in terms of a source of income. Sports have not actually made an economic contribution to people’s lives in the U.S. A large percentage of the labor force participation we have from the sports industry has come from black workers. Blacks are still disproportionately working outside of the U.S., so the job market for black men and women is mostly concentrated in a few towns or places near the border. So it has been interesting to read the news reports recently about a group of people who were being investigated for their criminal record. One of the former members, James Brown, a 27-year-old black man from Chicago who was arrested and charged with running a gang of people that ran the country’s largest public housing building in Chicago, was identified as a recent hire of the police department. They were black, and for some reason the city of Chicago chose not to file a lawsuit to bring them to justice. The city of Chicago did, however, not file a complaint against one of their employees because it was a white man. Brown’s arrest was an act of discrimination, but even there, it was also an acknowledgment the man is black and therefore deserving of special punishment. And as with any kind of civil lawsuit, nothing was ever proven. Instead, Brown and his attorney filed a civil lawsuit claiming the city violated their constitutional rights with their alleged use of public housing buildings, not because of any discrimination based on race, but because he was black in real estate and was working outside of work. The lawsuit was eventually dismissed by the city.The city of Chicago has only two legal systems: the civil court system and the criminal court system. The criminal court system is for people sentenced to prison in the state or county in which the individual was caught and prosecuted. It is a very difficult structure to navigate, but that is what is required in the criminal justice system for most of us: to apply for a criminal record before the courts because of the limited amount of time it takes to make that claim. If you are convicted of a low-level felony, you can file a civil criminal case. The criminal statute is the law against this. A state or county court may set up trial court systems to try defendants who can’t cross-examine their probation officers. The civil court system usually sets up cases where people who are tried by the state for being involved in crimes that they committed would be charged with a misdemeanor punishable by up to five years imprisonment. The criminal court system is not just for people who are accused of committing crimes, it is for people who serve time for a felony, and then in

He was an African American sociologist. He has born on August 24, 1901. From Port of Spain, Trinidad, Cox was one of eight children and was raised by his uncle Reginald who was a teacher. He came to the United States and earned a degree in history and economics in 1927 at Tuskegee Institute. The environment in Alabama frustrated him and he then joined the faculty of Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Missouri in 1949. He stayed there until 1970, when he joined the faculty of Wayne State University in Michigan.
Cox is best known for his attack on the “caste school of race relations,” in later years he argued his Marxist views of capitalism and race in three books: Foundations of Capitalism (1959), Capitalism and American Leadership (1962), and Capitalism as a System (1964). His final work was Jewish Self-Interest and Black Pluralism (1974). Oliver Cromwell Cox died September 4, 1974. Compared to Cox one can tell how W.E.B. Du Bois life influenced the way he thinks and acts.
William Edward Burghardt (W.E.B.) Dubois was born on February 23, 1868 in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. He was one of the most influential black leaders of the first half of the 20th Century. Dubois shared in the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, or NAACP, in 1909. He served as its director of research and editor of its magazine, “Crisis,” until 1934. Dubois was the first African American to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1896. Between 1897 and 1914 Dubois conducted numerous studies of black society in America, publishing 16 research papers. He began his investigations believing that social science could provide answers to race problems. Gradually he concluded that in a climate of virulent racism, social change could only be accomplished by agitation and protest. At the turn of the century Dubois had been a supporter of black capitalism. Throughout his career he moved steadily to the political left. By 1905 he had been drawn to socialist ideas and remained sympathetic to Marxism throughout his life. Dubois acted in support of integration and equal rights for everyone regardless of race, but his thinking often exhibited a degree of black separatist-nationalist tendencies. In 1961 Dubois became completely disillusioned with the United States. He moved to Ghana, joined the Communist Party, and a year later renounced his American Citizenship. August 27, 1963, on the eve of the March On Washington, Dubois died in Accra, Ghana, shortly after becoming a Ghana citizen.
First, Oliver Cox must have been a smart man because in all of his books he used good language. When I read Chapter four, in Theories of Race and Racism edited by Les Back and John Solomos, I used terms such as ethnocentrism, I needed to figure what that meant. Just my luck there was a definition in the essay. Ethnocentrism is a social attitude which expresses a community o feeling in any group – the “we” feeling as over against the “others” (B&S, May 09: 71). From a fine evaluation of the essay of Oliver Cox, The essay present the point that races were developed so people could say that they belonged to one particular group. Subsequent to, intolerance began to build up. People saw society as a way of living, like a guideline to life. As people started to change these
