    Ta-Nehisi Coates’ experiences have resulted in a perception which lumps people into one group, discredits the work of others, and judges events from a subjective point of view. This is a flawed way of evaluating events that one comes across on a daily basis. It will lead to misunderstandings caused by the influence of one’s biases, and it may inflate and dramatize actions which had no ill-will behind them. It may lead to the oppressor to justify his actions stating that he is oppressed. It kills the individuality of a person, and makes assumptions regarding an individual based upon the actions committed by a few of the many people in the vast group which that individual may be associated with.…

    In Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me, the reader walks through the life of Coates in a descriptive recollection of his life as a young black man growing up in an oppressive, unfair world. The book being a letter to his 15 year old son, Coates warns his son of the inequality and prejudicious violence that he can expect to face. Coates focuses heavily on personal experiences that forced him to realize the major flaws in the structure of our society. In reading, I found that I felt almost embarrassingly unaware of the severity of the racial tension that existed and still exists today. While people can be convinced to think that Americas crusade on racism has been largely successful, Coates works to strip away the preconceived notions…
