    Inspired by the democratic ideals of the American Revolution, African Americans worked vigorously in the decades following America’s birth to gain a similar liberation for themselves, but as new technologies expanded the southern economy. The obvious need for expansion of slavery in the South undermined the efforts of free black northerners and slaves themselves. In the South slaves were focused on obtaining their freedom by practical means such as buying their freedom or just rebelling. The free black focused more on the reasons for the necessity of freedom such as their pride in the revolution, African heritage, and Christian values to help guide them towards advocating a moral need for slavery’s end.…

    To begin, the influence of attitude is one that I think is very strong in this example, and countless other examples of police brutality against African American males. According to our class notes, attitude can be defined as “Relatively stable ideas about whether something is good or bad.” In the Alton Sterling case specifically, I believe that the officer’s attitudes towards Sterling’s race and demeanor may have had a profound affect on why they reacted the way in which they did. Furthermore, if the two white officers had any type of racist attitudes or beliefs regarding African Americans, this may have largely led to them being more quickly to act more violently towards — and eventually kill — Sterling.…
