An American Tragedy “Soul Food is death food, it will kill you”. This bold statement was uttered by civil rights advocate, Dick Gregory in the PBS film, Soul Food Junkies”. Today’s African-Americans are marching, in step, to a slow death. Taken from their homeland and inducted into slavery, in Africa about 80 per cent of the diet was organic and consisted mainly of fruits and vegetables with little meat, mostly roasted. The African-American diet which was healthy and nutritious has been…

The underlying theory of Cultural Marxism is the ability to analyze any form of communication to reconstruct the views or actions toward the oppressive versus the oppressed individuals. The main focus group in this theory is the oppressed victims that do not receive the same treatment as the white man. The Sandins live in a society where the government allows one day out of the year for all crimes to be legal. This lowers the unemployment rate, and the amount of crimes such as murder.…

One of the movements that the DFWC members campaigned in was for city playgrounds. Club members persisted, and succeeded, in their efforts for gaining support and funds for these playgrounds. To raise funds to build the park they personally went door to door requesting donations. Writing numerous letters along with many speeches, they managed to receive fourteen thousand signatures on a petition presented to the board of education. In doing this, they finally won over the school board who in…

UNJUST PAIN MANAGEMENT For the African-American Community As nurse, we seek to aide all of those who seek our help. However, not everyone is treated justly when it comes to pain management and pain control. An example of this disparity would be the case Dominique Oliver, an African American male, received a compound fracture to his lower leg while attempting to steal a soccer ball from a player on the opposing team while playing sports in high school. He was rushed to the local ER where his…

After taking the Implicit Association Test offered online through Harvard University in collaboration with a few other institutions, I can say that I am somewhat shocked by my results. I took the IAT for automatic preferences of those of European or African decent, essentially my preference of race. In the brief description of the test, it said that the majority of people prefer white over blacks. I thought of myself as being part of the exception group; the very few people who do not fit…

When it comes to early college sports African Americans had a hard time on the field. They faced the threat that even if they were the best player on the team they could be benched against segregated schools. The African American athlete faced many problems in their fight for equality including being benched against a segregated school, threats from other team’s player, and colleges “From 1938 to 1941, the UCLA football team served as an important exception to the ‘gentlemen’s agreement’----the…

The main point of the film is to display the era of the 1930s and how racism, prejudice and injustice reigned in the United States, the real America. I believe the purpose of this particular film was to display and promote the comparison of killing a mocking bird to executing an innocent individual. In the film the comparison is to an African American male, Tom Robinson. A main character named Atticus Finch declares in a conversation, "I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I…

The poem I selected is “The Raven” written by popular American writer, Edgar Allan Poe. I chose this poem because of the pass experiences that I had with Edgar Allan Poe’s literary pieces. I remember in 7th grade when I had a teacher named Mrs. Scalici. She introduced the whole class to a short story called “The Tell Tale Heart”, which is one of Poe’s most famous pieces. The poem was very good, I liked how the poem was gory, detailed, and interesting. It went perfectly for the season, which was…
