Summary and questions of the Danish article: "Danmark har overhalet U.S.A i racisme."

It's about a guy called Jacob Holdt who is a danish photographer. He has made several fotoshows. His primary focus is prejudice and racism. Jacob made a ghetto show and right after he met Anne Bech. He traveled to USA and got threatened by two afro-americans who had a gun and they stole all his money. He wanted to meet the members of the Ku-Klux clan.  He wanted a wider view on the term "racism". What were their opinion, and why do they hate black people so much? That was one of the questions he wanted to get an answer on. 

If you want to make a difference in the clan look at their past and history. What made them join these different type of clans? And why? Don't just yell at them, try to walk in their shoes and you'll see a different side of the history.  He finish his report off with an example he experienced himself. It was a small girl who said to her mom: "Look mom, a dane is approaching!" 

- Who become members of groups like the KKK according to Jacob Holdt? Do you agree?

According to Jacob Holdt it's people who hungers for love,atention and care.

We agree with Jacob Holdt and think those people need something to spent their time on, something to wake up to. The clan is like a home for them, and the members are like their family. 

- Why does Jacob Holdt become a member of the KKK?

He meets a student and then she wants him to talk about racism, so he meets the leader of the ku klux clan. Jeff Barry is the leader of the ku klux clan.

- Comment on the headline of the article

We think that Denmark versus America is a tough call. In our opinion we still think America is worse than us when it comes to racism. You often see gangs and groups only consisting of black people. It's very typical that groups in America are split up, the black group and the white group. We think it's a lot worse in America. They black people usually get harder punishments than white people. And they are a lot easier suied for doing illegal things. We don't think that is the case in America. So we think that America is worse than Denmark. 

- Do you see racism as a big problem in the Danish society?  

I don't really see racism as a big problem in Denmark, because I don't see it very often. I think i have seen it a few times, but thats all. When i saw it, it was at a football game, where one said "make sure the nigger doesn't get the ball."

After you, my dear Alphones

Describe Boyd’s family:

his mother is home taking care of the children. His father is working in a factory. His sister works instead of his mother, she wants to be a teacher.

What does Mrs. Wilson assume about Boyd and his family?

She thinks that his family is poor and that his father has a lausy job.

Why does Mrs. Wilson offer Boyd clothing? And what does Mrs. Wilson do when Boyd rejects her offer?

because she thinks his family is poor and when he reject her offer she gets mad because she thinks that it will help him is his family get more clothes.

Find examples (there is more than one) in the text where Mrs. Wilson is prejudiced towards Boyd:

“Now eat as much as you want to, Boyd,” she said. “I want to see you get filled up.”

“Well don’t let johnny stop you. He always fusses about eating, so you just see that you get a good lunch. There’s plentuy of food here for you to have all you want.”

Mrs. Wilson tells Boyd, "I'm just disappointed in you." Evaluate the cause of Mrs. Wilson's disappointment.

she gets disappoint at him because she had offered clothes to him and then he rejects it. She just wants to help him, but he dont want help from her, because his family dosen’t need it. 

Do you find Mrs. Wilson a racist? 

I don’t think she is a racist. Its just because he is black that it seems like she has a lot of prejudice for him.
