changes from white to black as you look from left to right. And the color of the men’s cloth also changes from black to white if you look from left to right. This picture is presented in a completely black background which is outlined by a white frame. Nikolai Buglaj tries to reveal a hidden truth in this art work. As well as, compel the viewer to see the world in a new light. Value is an element of design that is used in the picture. It can be seen in the transition of black and white from…
select this speech. First and foremost, I selected this speech because the speech is considered as a turning point in the civil right movement for racial justice, however; the speech was directed to the whole nation in all states and not for black people only, which strength the speech providing it with publicity. In addition, the speech was delivered…
hated how he felt “indistinguishable from the muggers who occasionally seeped into the area from the surrounding ghetto.” Society molded a dangerous view of all black men in most women’s minds and although danger is a possibility, making perfectly safe people feel “surprised, embarrassed, dismayed…[and] like an accomplice in tyranny” makes black men feel like they are not safe. Staples even compared walking around white people and whistling Vivaldi’s four seasons, to relax them, to being a hiker…
the gap between black people and white people has gotten smaller, it still exists in the United States. Slavery and that time period was the initial cause for the divide, but equality has never truly been established. Many white people still think of themselves as superior, even if unconsciously. Americans, black and white, can never actually come together and move on from the past if the present is not fair either. For white people, it is hard to understand the struggle a black person goes…
The article ends with a quote he pulls from a different author, which he states, “`black history deserves to be treated with scholarly rigour and care as much as white history does” (Wrenn, 19).

The stereotypes cause people to ignored differences and varieties among individuals. People always tend to make stereotypes as a cognitive shortcut to…
to another race or religion. In this case, the “superior” race would be whites and the “inferior” race would be any race other than white (Hispanic, african american, asian, etc.) It is stated in a website about race and racism that, “In the U.S., blacks, Mexicans, Chinese and Japanese immigrants were targets of discrimination in employment and property ownership.” This may not be happening in the modern era, but over a past history of hundreds of years it was seen as if white people were the…

country’s history. Blackmon makes the case in his 400 page historical commentary that ten years after the emancipation of slaves, African American’s few freedoms were again taken away by way of peonage. Jim Crow laws were implemented to not only subjugate blacks, but also to further Manifest Destiny. He follows the Cottenham family generation by generation, first outlining their great-grandfather Green who was torn from his African motherland and placed into antebellum slavery. After Abraham…
once a symbol of progress in the American economy, has become the failure story of 20th century America.

However, racial discrimination did not exclusively brought capitalism towards Black Detroiters lives, but also oligarchy played a role. In the 1940s, Detroit’s economy boomed, becoming the 4th largest industrial job market in the country,…
