Is there any art from the 1930s pertaining to racism?

For the most part racism with regards to laws, policies and practices of society have laws specifically designed to combat racism. This is certainly true in the United States. Racism polarizes society and inhibits the contributions of minority groups as they do not have the same access to art, media, government, and other areas of society. For the most part the items just described have been addressed and racism in my opinion is not a major stumbling block in Western nations such as the USA. The fact that over the past two Presidential administrations the USA has had Afro-American Secretaries of State, an Afro-American President, an Afro-American Attorney General says allot. We can recall that former US President Bush had Colin Powell as Secretary of State, Condelisa Rice as Secretary of State, are situations that are not found in even progressive Western nations.

The speaker seems to say that they will not give up hope that peace, acceptance, tolerance, love, and all things to bring humankind together can be achieved. They will not simply take on the view that men and women are forever destined to be racist toward one another and that war is an inevitable part of our lives.

The bright daybreak represent us making it to a new day with light; we are able to start anew.

Is a racist joke discrimination?
Not in and of themselves. They are racist. Look up the difference between racism and discrimination.
Discrimination is unequal treatment. Racist jokes can be used in a discriminatory manner, if they create a hostile environment. If someone feels harassed because of jokes told at their workplace targeting their race (particularly when members of at least one other race are not targeted), and such behavior is allowed or even institutionalized, they could sue for discrimination. Some comedians seem to get by with this because they are equal opportunity offenders - the offend every group equally. They don't discriminate; they are just bigots.

One of the metaphors he used was that of a bad check:
"It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note in so far as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so we have come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice."
What did Kansas have to do with segregation?
Kind of a vague question, but since the category is regarding the civil war I'll go that direction.
Bloody Kansas or the Border War, was a series of violent events, involving anti-slavery Free-Staters and pro-slavery "Border Ruffian" elements, that took place in the Kansas Territory and the western frontier towns of the U.S. state of Missouri roughly between 1854 and 1858. At the heart of the conflict was the question of whether Kansas would enter the Union as a free state or slave state. As such, Bleeding Kansas was a proxy war between Northerners and Southerners over the issue of slavery in the United States. The term "Bleeding Kansas" was coined by Horace Greeley of the New York Tribune; the events it encompasses directly presaged the American Civil War.
The United States had long struggled to balance the interests of slaveholders and abolitionists. The events later known as Bleeding Kansas were set into motion by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which nullified the Missouri Compromise and instead implemented the concept of popular sovereignty. An ostensibly democratic idea, popular sovereignty stated that the inhabitants of each territory or state should decide whether it would be a free or slave state; however, this resulted in immigration en masse to Kansas by activists from both sides. At one point, Kansas had two separate governments, each with its own constitution, although only one was federally recognized. On January 29, 1861, Kansas was admitted to the Union as a free state, less than three months before the Battle of Fort Sumter which began the Civil War.

She is a white woman who had Emmett Till killed just for whistling at her.
African Americans have an impossible history to deal with. In the beginning, in order to enslave other humans, the more powerful white landowners had to convince themselves that they were a superior race and for that reason they had the right to make the less developed, less powerful people work for them. An interesting factor in this process is that they made it against the law to educate slaves! They knew that education led to power. Slaves could not form normal family units- their children were sold and any white man could rape a slave without any recourse. The slavers held fast to this notion of their superiority so desperately that it soon became "fact" in their minds. It became an organic part of the mindset of many people who believe they are superior to this day.
Is it racist for black people to call white people the C-word?
The truth is it's an opinion; not a fact. It depends on the person. Some white people don't mind being called the C-word by a black person. And some white people are insulted when a black person calls them the C-word. Once a black man asked me: "What's c*****r?" and I was offended. I didn't dare tell him because I was afraid he might get mad and it might turn into a fight. Underneath it all I wanted to give him s***.
Is there a connection between racism and Vietnam War?
Yes. European wars had strong elements of chivalry; Asian wars showed little mercy. Example: The most vicious fighting in WW2's ETO (European Theater of Operations) was on the Russian front; between Germany and the Soviet Union (Russia). Germany, in WW2, considered Russians to be Asians (Non-Aryans) and tried to exterminate them; Russians (Soviets) replied in kind, especially when they entered Berlin in 1945.
He was no different than most whites who dislike blacks, Jews, Asians, and latinos. However he knew how to hide his racism well while sticking with his own. He did not mistreat blacks or dare speak out against him. No intelligent artist would ever do that as it would hurt record sales. He did have a soft spot for Sammy Davis Jr. and Duke Ellington and all reknown black artists. Aside from that, yes, he demonstrated that he preferred to stick with his own kind
It makes ignorance, stereotypes, and misinformation just as readily available with true information and educational pieces of work, so some believe that by being on the Internet, it must hold true, even if only to certain a degree.
However, racism, ignorance, and negative stereotypes do not hold true in reality because individuals of any racenormally show the world otherwise, and show why it is terrible to generalize just because of what's spread around the net.
