Roger eyed the glasses in Jack’s bloody hand, as the three boys darted along the shore. They were slowly exhausted by the depth of the pale sand that moulded cruelly around their feet. Roger felt like a British officer, charging heroically along the pebbly sand with the stolen plans of the German opposition. The blood in his mouth was bittersweet, however. He once again felt Ralph’s bony fist pounding into his cheek. He experienced the pain in slow motion. Roger swung wildly at a body that…

The Civil Rights Movement and the French Revolution were both big parts in today’s history. The Civil Rights Movement was a mass movement for African americans to have just as much equality and freedom as whites(Patterson, James T. “Civil Rights Movement- Major events and Legacies.”). Like the Civil Rights, the French Revolution basically fought for the same concept of freedom, it fought for equal government, and that every person’s thoughts had a say. Both controversies were basically fighting…

In addition, she provides historical accounts of lynchings, state executions, and medical neglect, and segregation between blacks and whites. As a result of these events, the chapter concludes with black suicide. In chapter 3, “The End of Days,” demonstrates how black death presents itself through African American literature such as visual art. Also it examines how children do not escape…

black and white issue. While this is true in many cases, there is more nuance to the issue. White supremacy, the belief that the white race is above all others, is the root cause behind many racial problems. It contributes to colorism in black communities, in which lighter skinned black people are prized above darker skinned ones. It also led to the sentiment of anti-blackness among other communities of color: it is clear that the darker a person’s skin is, the further they are from the white…

Ernesto Pujol’s journal discusses his art exhibition called Whiteness, where it revolves around the culture of whiteness and the thought process of being a white subject. The exhibition opened at the Foire Internationale d'art moderne et Contemporain in Paris in September 1999, and at Linda Kirkland Gallery in New York in October. It features an interesting assortment of objects joined together like Nazi porcelain dishes and bronzed, enameled, American baby boys' boots on a faux Victorian shelf,…

Washington was a very segregated city, and even though her father worked for the Navy Department, he had a long history of battling with racism in institutions. Same as the majority of coloured dancers, she found out that ballet was a very closed white world and she never thought to be able to become a professional ballerina. The black writer Dixon Gottschild describes the feeling of racism in a very graphic way: “I feel decentered. NOT in a good way. I am in the corner. I am still cornered by…

collection, and as I look at this picture, I see two men in agony. Suffering or even stuck in life they do not want. The color palette used: blue, white and brownish-yellowish may signify the mood of the painting, but also, explicitly, defines the two men as the focal area of the painting. The brownish-yellowish rocks I believe also signifies a hard life, but the white clouds in the blue sky, defines even though the two men are suffering or in agony, their suffering…

relations of representation in regards to survival of black people”(English .29). This would include the history of resistance that gets erased through a white-supremacist narrative. This form of history justifies slavery by imposing the economic progress the West has gained from slavery, as well as the passiveness within society that…

emotional appeal. As analysts, it is imperative that we delve into the specifics to understand the true meaning of the advertisement. When glancing at this advertisement, it is blatant that this merchandise is being marketed to a notably, wealthy white women. Earlier it was mentioned that Parker was the main focus of the advertisement. The reason is simply because Suzy Parker is elegant and would perfectly represent the classic brand of…

implemented more than a century ago. Unless the film requires casting POC, the first person Hollywood seems to cast is 99% of the time white. In the last decade thousands of films have chosen not to cast actors of colour. Some films that did this include Aloha, Exodus: Gods and Kings, Prince of Persia, and Argo (Nahaar). A film that received tremendous backlash for casting white actors as the heroes and a South Asian actor as the villain is the film The Last Airbender, directed by M Night…
