evident in the novel, but also in today's society. For one, violence broke out in August during the weekend of a white nationalist rally (“Unite The Right” rally) in Charlottesville, Virginia. Even though the rally was canceled, so many people were brought together that the tensions quickly got out of hand. The news article Charlottesville Rally Violence: How We…
Conflict Assignment For my conflict assignment, I have decided to dive into the issue of racism, specifically drawing attention to the political statement made by Beyonce during her 2016 Superbowl performance. During the halftime show where Beyonce was a featured act, she took the opportunity to make a Black Lives Matter statement that was woven into her performance amidst the costuming, song choice, formations and other aspects. Racism is the name that has been assigned to the long and slow…

like complete savages. For instance, you have people out here killing each othering over, racism, boredom, jealous, money, and much more. There is a mental issue within their selves. Just lasted week, one person and 19 people were injured in Charlottesville, because of a meeting that took place with the white supremacy and their supports according to CNN new. It is not just about a black or white dilemma because black and white have killing in their race every single day. Another incident, when…
the son of Elizabeth and David Poe, though, they died when he was only two years old. Poe then became the adopted son of John and Frances Allan in Virginia.

and how it affects us people in the world we live in today. I was curious to find out more about race after reading this article, which led me to do some research on race. In fact, the most liked tweet of Twitter's history was Obama's after the Charlottesville violence in August of 2017. “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion … People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love … For love comes…
idea that it is difficult to adjust to change. Discrimination will tear down college graduates’ ability to succeed because of the riots, bans and law enforcements that have been increasing these pasts few years.

As a student, we expect to feel safe and have a support system in the community we live in. These…
equivalencies forever. Pretending that both sides of an issue are equal when they are not is not “balanced” journalism, it is a fairy tale – and, unlike most fairy tales, a disingenuous one.” We had another potent example of false equivalency in Charlottesville when President Trump blamed “many sides” for the violence on the streets. We have witnessed a sitting US President, a pathological liar, misogynist and racist both as candidate and President violate very single facet of respect and…
I think the discussion was good and brought a lot of important parts of this event to light. I believe we did not talk about the real reason this happened. We all understood who the KKK and Nazi’s are. We also understand that they marched to spew hatred and express their beliefs about the statue. However, no one spoke about the connection between the March itself and Donald Trump. I am not saying that Donald Trump orchestrated the march, but I am saying Trumps Presidency has incited this hatred…
nationalist. Most recently a rise of white nationalist and/or supremacists have been seen on a broad spectrum of medias. Their objective to enforce segregation between themselves and colored people. Infamously, the events that happened at Charlottesville, Virginia caused an uproar heard around the United States. It began as tiki touched protesting illuminating the night; eerily similar to KKK marchers, at the University of Virginia, to it creeping into the next day. That Saturday, hundreds…
