African Grey Parrot

Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois had opinions regarding the race and role of African Americans that differed in many ways such as: ways of achieving education and how equality should be attained. They both had two very diverse proposals when it came to African Americans improving their education and overall situation. Regarding their unlike proposals, they both shared the common goal of helping the African American community. Washington and Du Bois had very different upbringings, which…

Barack Obama and John F. Kennedy were both candidates and presidents at incredibly pivotal time periods in history. As such they faced a wide range of rhetorical obstacles during their candidacy and time as presidents. A rhetorical obstacle is some outside force that can limit a rhetors’ main purpose or goal. A shared obstacle faced by both candidates was that of identity. Identity becomes an obstacle when a rhetors’ audience does not share “common goals/background, beliefs, values, etc.” (1)…

police apprehended him later that day, but yet when he got arrested the officers offered to buy him food because he was hungry. Really? He just killed nine innocent people for no reason and you buy him food because he is hungry? Knowing if he was an African- American they would not even offered him any food because he was hungry, they most likely would have let him starve. Another example is when the cops got a call about a white man who has a gun and is armed and dangerous, I repeat, ARMED AND…

Police brutality, especially against African-Americans, has an extensive history in America. It’s a recurring problem and its effects on society are often brushed off by those it does not affect. Police brutality continues to have a major impact on our society and through a series of events, leads to several outcomes.

Blacks have been stereotyped to be criminals since the slavery era. The stereotypes of blacks being criminals led to justifying keeping black slaves and other types of discrimination (Kennedy, 1998, pg 13). After slavery, blacks were believed to have a tendency to commit horrendous crimes. This led to the justification for their lynchings and policies to control blacks (Kennedy, 1998, pg 13). Politicians and the media have also supported the stereotype of blacks and their involvement in crime…

beaten, and attacked, for this reason they maintained a low profile. The police, town residents, and the Ku Klux Klan worked hard to keep the African Americans in the low society. They were oppressed from improving their lives. In addition, when the three civil rights employees went missing (2 Jews and one African American) during a campaigning of registering African Americans to vote.

different geographical region. Hughes is able to demonstrate cultural positioning by connecting black communities and experiences to four different regions, the Middle East, North and Central Africa and the Americas, thus describing aspects of the African…

Throughout history it is not only the words and actions of others that spark political movement, but the visual representation of the world around us, both real and perceived. Artists have been causing political uproar since the dawn of time, either in agreement or protest of the political times. Art reflects the politics of the times. In the 1980’s, one particular display created by college student, Scott Tyler (who more frequently goes by Dredd Scott), created political uproar across the…

innately spiritual. It is most evident in the susceptibility of Tanganyika and the South African coast to the two-pronged acculturation of missionary medicine. I believe the readings make an argument that directly moves the discussion of medicine from the physical realm to the metaphysical realm while leaving the complex implications of these relations to our own judgments. This unique relationship found in many African cultures is what Europeans exploited entering South Africa and Tanganyika…
