Some songs carry us into a certain mood, some to a general region of our past lives, and some to a very particular moment and situation in time,” states Stephen Corey in A Voice for the Lonely. I cannot think of a time in my life where music hasn’t been there because I use music in times of trouble and in times of joy. It is in the background of every memory I have.…

    Black By Baldwin

    • 987 Words

    This week as I was reading I noticed on several occasions that Baldwin’s use of the word “black,” was to insult, denigrate, or negatively describe them. Baldwin uses the word “black” when describing negative characteristics of a character, and in dialogue when the characters are insulting each other. The use of the word black with such a negative connotation comes from multiple characters; my first quote is a description of Ruth, described by John, the second is said by Aunt Florence, and Roy states the third. If this had occurred once or twice throughout the reading by John alone, it might not have been so significant, but the use of “black” and “nigger” in the context of an insult or dehumanizing manner was used multiple times from multiple…

Another concept relating to the self-serving…
