Most people have fears of monsters and ghouls. As an African-American the horror is alot more realistic in many cases.No reports have shown anyone being killed by a monster or a ghoul.However,countless black men and women have lost their lives to police officers.A traffic stop shouldn’t be a dangerous event,but to often it has.Their lives have been lost due to racism in our country.Now of course, it isn’t anything like the African-Americans faced in the 1800 and 1900s but it’s still relevant.It…

deciding factor as to who gets a harsher punishment. Programs that help rehabilitate should be available to everyone regardless of gender or the color of their skin. The defining factor as to who should get help should be their crime and whether a professional therapist thinks that they will be able to become a functional member of society. The judge and jury are not supposed to discriminate or have bias but it is not possible to be…

Generally, when a member from the opposite gender participates in a “gender-specific sport”, it is considered deviant or unusual, such as is the case for female football players, female wrestlers, male cheerleaders, and male ballet performers. In the latter two cases, Meredith Worthen and Danielle Dirks explain in the text “Gender and Deviance” that these male athletes “destigmatize” their involvement in what are considered feminine sports by engaging in what are defined by Worthen and Dirks as…

The first being just a picture of Lexi Thompson, a professional golfer because of the incident when she miss marked her ball and it was called in by a viewer and reviewed. The second one surprised me a first because it was about the WNBA draft because I have never seen an article about it, but it was…

shooting unarmed black people is an oversimplification. The flag represents hard work, dedication, blood, sweat, tears and the struggle our ancestors had to suffer through in order to have all the freedoms we enjoy every single day. It’s a reminder to the military families who have lost loved ones that we still remember and recognize their sacrifice. The only reason the United States even has the freedom to protest is because of the brave…

where only 7% said the team should change its name. While support for the name change has increased, but it is still a minority. However, in a recent poll by the Center for Indigenous Peoples Studies at California State University, 67% of Native Americans believed that the “team name was a racial or racist word and symbol.” In the same poll, 32.8% of Caucasians agreed that the team name was racist.

“Delusions of Grandeur,” he analyzes the reason as to why young African Americans tend to take the path of an athlete, over something more realistic. His purpose in writing this is to show the negative effects that can be carried along with the child, if they wrongly believe they will only find success if it is on the field. The intended audience for his essay were adults, the common public, educators, also young African Americans so they can understand that success doesn’t only come with being…

rampant racial discrimination and segregation going on during that era highlights the struggles of African Americans. Troy's past as a baseball player and Cory's recruitment for football shows the limitations faced by black athletes during that era. Also, Troy's questioning of his boss for the differential treatment of whites and blacks. The fence serves as a representation of the barriers faced by black people during that era. The fence also symbolizes psychological imprisonment. It can be…

For the past few months, the sports media has been embroiled in a fight over “stick to sports.” The phrase comes from a common online rebuke directed at sportswriters and pundits and players and coaches and anyone in the world of sports, really, who takes a political stance on anything that doesn’t occur on a field or a court or in a locker room or front office.
