Throughout the texts, there were mentions of black people who were murdered for unfair reasons and in unjust circumstances. When these people were killed, efforts were taken to ensure that it appeared as though these murders had happened for just reasons. Whether it be by the media, or by individuals, people continuously try to justify the killing of black people, usually by police or hate crime.

Whites had control over the black population in 1619 which was…

My goals are to (1) see If potentially being the only black person in a space has discouraged black students from taking up opportunities. (2) If Black students fear…

Some of the similar reactions may include; people going to the church, and priests, to help them and save them from the terrible plague that is spreading very quickly, and the reason the two religions believe that it is happening.
