Many characters from the novel who are African American are devastated with the cultural and already imposed notions of white perfection to the limit that they hate themselves for not being up to society`s standards. The best character that Morrison utilized to depict these outcomes is Pecola Breedlove, a passive, eleven-year old, black girl whose lack of parental…

I believe the term “End of white America” means the ending of white’s believing and acting their more superior than other races. I believe the term white America comes from the way whites are being able to do things and get away with things without being enforced as in the same way as in minorities.

The speech” I have a dream” by Martin Luther king, was delivered in August 28 1963 at Lincoln Memorial Washington D.C, is one of the most powerful speech in American history.

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 ringing a cowbell in bear country (Staples 404-407). Staples is a great example of how society can change our view on certain races and stain their reputation with the…
