Black Elk Speaks

they both shared the common goal of helping the African American community. Washington and Du Bois had very different upbringings, which nature their decisions from the slightest, to the highest. Body Washington and Dubois’s ideas for achieving black equality are different in a number of ways. One way that their ideas differ is through ways of achieving education. Washington designed, developed, and guided the Tuskegee Institute which became a foundation…

Yes the nation knows that the black-on-black crime is bad, but there is also white-on-white. Most murders are between our own races. Black Lives Matter focuses on the crime problem too. But it does not show that black people are more violent or dangerous than any other race. Most of it is because blacks are prone to be poorer, a lot more likely to go to a non-affluent school in a bad area, and is more attracted by police ("11 Major Misconceptions about the Black Lives Matter Movement."). Being…

For instance, the Black Lives Matter is a movement that began as a hashtag on a social media platform, and though the positive response it has received from various individuals, has grown into an international, activist movement. However, the movement has received much backlash from people who believe the movement to be pointless and that police brutality in American is not real. Centuries of portraying Black Americans in a negative, stereotypical fashion as either…

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…

Politics have played a significant role when determining how White America views the black race as a whole. Over the years people have characterized and associated blacks as the criminals and predators of society. They relate blacks to drugs, violence, and crimes. As a result, they enslave and incarcerate blacks. They use their Machiavellian justice system and laws created by them to eliminate or impoverish the black race in the white society. In this paper, I will elaborate on how America went…

bandages. The book I found was based on a popular Japanese children’s TV show, Yo-kai Watch. I was aslo able to find a large amount of Asian-American baby dolls that a six year old, Asian-American, could play with, but not nearly as many as white, black, and Hispanic baby dolls. While looking through the toy section, I had to use my own judgment to determine if a baby doll was of Asian-American descent. One doll, that I did find, was based off…

Negro Speaks of Rivers” by Langston Hughes compares the history and the soul of black communities to four great rivers around the world. The poem takes the reader on a historical journey through different places and times. It links black history with the birth of civilization and the creation of the world: “I’ve known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins.” Hughes conception of the black experience and rich ancient existence in “The Negro Speaks of…

The Greenhouse Effect Most people recognize global warming, but fail to recognize what is really behind it. In addition, most people would also recognize the concept of the greenhouse effect, or at least some variation of it. The fact is that the greenhouse effect is what leads to global warming, but how does that happen? Let’s start with some historical analysis of the topic. The greenhouse effect (or at least a rough version) was originally thought of and recognized by Jean Baptiste Joseph…

cluster of genes similar in all black people or all white people (American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1998). Generally speaking, if race were real in the biological sense, then racial classifications for individuals would remain constant. Yet today, a person categorized as white in Brazil, may be classed as black in America or coloured in Africa. There are no set boundaries to define race biologically (Maillard, 2016). Du Bois stated the idea of ‘white’ or ‘black’ simply cannot be used as…

blood type, and finger print. One interesting I found from this activity, which was basically a refresher for me, was that not a lot of African-Americans have the blood type AB. The five major races included in this activity were: African-Americans or Blacks, Whites, American Indians, Hispanics, and Asian Americans. Throughout the review, it demonstrated what groups of people are more genetically and physically inclined to have each specific trait. For the actual activity, we had to group…
