    In Teaching Trayvon, Noble argues about the positive and negative, but mostly negative effects that the mass media’s coverage of Trayvon Martin’s murder garnered. More specifically, Noble provides examples for how the lack of empathy influenced the proliferation of certain narratives in the media in cases of police brutality. One of the biggest examples of this was the “meme-ification” of Trayvon’s death that was not only incredibly crass, but also reflective of past commodification of Black trauma like minstrel shows. Also, Noble argues that this meme-ification being allowed under the guise of free speech and intellectual property is indicative of the strength this dominant narrative can take hold when political, economic, and social, institutions…

    The death of the young African American Michael Brown, in the city of Ferguson, Missouri, sparked the national debate of whether or not his death was the act of prejudice at the hand of a Caucasian police officer. The media rushed to Ferguson and sided with the renegade protestors in order to cover the violent riots following his death. Although the riots lasted for months, journalist Noah Rothman wrote “Taking Sides in Ferguson” approximately two months after Michael Brown’s death. Rothman makes the strong case that the media’s direct role in Ferguson increased the violence of the rioters. However, he weakens his argument, because he bases his argument on the debatable assumptions that the media chose sides wrongly, were reporting rumor as fact, and that their commentary directly increased the violence;…

I want to know and understand the systemic oppression people of color face, but I am afraid, and embarrassed, that I know so little in the first place. The only background I have for this course is that I live in America and I read The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander. She argues mass incarceration is the new Jim Crow. Alexander’s book was so shocking to me that I just wanted to know more, like what the social implication are of this type of oppression.…

    In recent news Robert Dear attacked a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado. After entering the Planned Parenthood facility with a gun and opening fire, Dear claimed to be a “baby warrior” as he took the lives of three people while wounding nine (Liss-Schultz). While this is situational irony in itself, society, whether pro-life or pro-choice, banded together to bring justice to Robert Dear. The media shockingly chose to cover this topic in a manner that takes a stance against Dear even though abortion, which Planned Parenthood provides, is a hypersensitive subject. This most apparent controversial topic in today’s society brings a battle between pro-choice and pro-life advocates, yet brings them together.…

    The first section of the book, which is composed of the first chapter, is an explanation of why the Birmingham Campaign- referred to as “the negro revolution” by King, presumably because the word “negro” carried a different connotation than it does now.

In 1965 African Americans could not vote for who they wanted in the White House or who they wanted as their governor. When African Americans started to do marches, and get their word out about how they felt. The town's police were to be sent out, and if the marchers would not leave, then they would be attacked by the police with their nightsticks. Even though southern whites did not like the idea of giving African Americans the right to vote; the government gave african americans the right to vote, because it will lead to a more happy country, it will give African Americans more freedom, and it will give more fair responses on who should be the governor or the president.…
