2. What impact might they have on whites?
3. On African Americans?
Newt Gingrich and the Art of Racial Politics:
1. I think that in this case, the Community means the entire US, and people of color. This had a very big impact on the community in which it took place because he was racially profiling the Black community, by saying that they don't have a good work ethic and need to want and beg for better jobs. This upset a lot of people and Gingrich explained himself saying that he was talking about ALL Americans not just Blacks.
2. This particular argument may not have any effect on white people if other people don't generalize a race just as Gingrich had done. If nobody assumes that this is anybodies way of thinking except for Newt Gingrich then nobody will have to worry.
3. The impact on African Americans and Blacks is very apparent because it is directly calling out an entire race. Gingrich said that "black Americans should demand jobs, not food stamps" and even though in his next statement that "poor kids are lacking a strong work ethic" doesn't mention a certain race he can't escape the fact that he did say "black Americans" and therefore generalizing that the whole race is on food stamps or not demanding a good enough job. This offended a lot of people although he did try and explain himself.
Kentucky Church Bans Interracial Couples:
1. The community in which this church is, is effected because if there are any other interracial couples, they now know that they can't get married at that specific church. Even if no other people in interracial couples have a desire to get married there, it can also stir up feelings of people not involved because they may feel a prejudice put on to them or their race- or they could just be really upset that their town and/or their place of worship still holds on to some racist thoughts.
2. The effect on white people in this situation is a more apparent one because it directly involves a white girl who can't marry a black man. This restricts the race from doing what they please, freely.
3. Same with African Americans but they could bring up the fact of racism and old prejudices that prevented this exact thing in the past.
