Consequently, blaming a person or a group for a tragic situation or…

    The article made many points in regards of violence against African Americans, which include that the violence is about their race, poverty and increasing violence statistics in the United states.

    During the 1900s, many African American people emerged in the public eye such as Martin Luther King, Jr and Malcolm X, who continued to fight for the equality of black people. In 2008, when Senator Barack Obama was the first black male to be elected to be the president of the United States, some people credit this time in history as the day racism died. They believe if Americans can elect a black person to run our country, racism against black people must be something of the past (Brunners, 2015). Almost immediately after becoming the president-elect, he started receiving threats and hate mail, purely because of the color of his skin (Neiwert, 2016).…

    Smith put emphasis on primary sources which he believed to have displayed vehement biases, such as the anti-Semitic newspaper and journal articles written about the murder. Moreover, A Butcher’s Tale maintained a balancing act between crime investigation and historical analysis through Smith’s inclusion of police interviews and a general history of Christian-Jewish conflict, respectively. The sources that were chosen reflected Smith’s opinion that a proper investigation was crippled by assumptions and incompetence.
