It Was the season 7 episode 13 and was written by 26 Black students from a tenth-grade English class at Jefferson High School. Most students at the school were unable to read, write, or comprehend at a high school level, with 44% reading at a third-grade level and very few students reading at a level much…

especially from the experiences of the black maids in Jackson. Some of the black maids were abused but most were treated poorly. For example, Hilly is trying to get a law passed that is definitely racist, “A bill that requires every white home to have a separate bathroom for the colored help” (page 10). Later in Chapter One, when Aibileen is leaving from Miss Leefolt’s house she spots Miss Leefolt looking around, Aibileen suspects she’s looking for a spot for a separate colored bathroom (page…

The selected article is titled “The Way Lena Dunham Talks about Black Men is Peak White Entitlement” and was published in the Black Voices subsection of the Huffington Post. We can tell by a small attached photo that the author is a young, African-American woman (Blay). This is important because she’s black, which to some people would mean she has more of a “right” to speak on this topic, and she’s young so she’s more likely to be knowledgeable about today’s pop culture, which this article…

lottery to symbolize death for the townspeople. In “The Lottery,” Shirley Jackson uses the black box, the stones, and the black-dotted piece of paper to symbolize the fear of the townspeople. In transition, Jackson uses the black box to describe the tradition to the townspeople. The black box had been a tradition to the town for awhile and it will not be changed until something happens to it. “The black box now resting on the stool had been put into use even before old man warner, the oldest…

done because of “learning ability,” students are put with those they learn like which often means that if you grew up in the same area or school system, you are put in one spot while the students that are from another area are put in another spot. For example, when bringing together two schools, one which is predominately black while the other is predominately…

areas and serene diction in others steers the direction of thought. Near the beginning of the speech, he outlines the dark world of segregation through the lense of the black man, and then transitions into a bright society of freedom in which he hopes to one day witness. “I have a dream,” has become a mantra of sorts for the black community and that is all thanks to diction. “I have” has an aura of power and hope attached to it. The “dream” aspect of the slogan also has the same sort of free and…

The Black Death I had just finished burying my husband when I noticed the sharp pain in my armpit followed by an ache in my groin I knew this was how it began. When I got home I went to check on the children. Timothy had dark spots starting to appear from the bleeding under the skin. Mary started coughing violently spraying a mist of blood with every cough, at least she would not be in agony much longer. It began as a painful pus-filled growth in the armpit, groin, or neck area that…

seem large to us but compered to a black hole they are extremely minute. The idea of earth being swallowed by a black hole is terrifying one. One of the things that we fear most about black holes is how little we know about them. We know that they have incredibly strong gravitational force. By the time you got anywhere near it your atoms would have been ground up and used to fuel the black hole. It is this fear of the unknown that is the scariest thing about a black hole. How could we mitigate…

thinks it's all the locksmith’s fault. He grabs the gun and goes to the mexicans house and spots the man from before and he confronts him wielding the gun and before he shoots the little girls jumps in the way. Luckily the gun was loaded with blanks so she was safe but the mexicans daughter was lead to believe her “cloak” saved them. Soon the “good” cop gets off duty and while he is driving he runs into a black hitchhiker which turned out to be ludacris’ partner in crime. The off duty cop allows…

also further explained the objectification of the male body and it’s presence due to the white supremacy in the NFL. These non-white athletes undergo many different obstacles in order to concur a spot in the NFL. Which is why I agree with the author, due to the evident racism in the NFL. Even though black men being drafted to the NFL is a positive deed, they aren’t being…
