characteristics as a way to form a connection with her audience. Child wants her audience to see that both these women could be just like them (white) because they are light skinned and the only thing that makes them different is the name of their race- African-American. Due to the fact that Rosalie and Xarifa are people of color, it gives the townspeople the leverage, especially the white women, to treat both of them like the scum beneath the earth. Those around them are envious of the beauty…

The use of the phrases “all lives matter” to pay no heed to “black lives matter” are beyond ignorant to the real problem. When the president says God bless America, Should he not say God bless all the other countries as well. When the first slave ships were transporting slave ships in the sixteenth century, black lives did not matter. The true meaning of black lives matter does not suggest that all lives are not precious, but it does reaffirming that we are still alive and breathing, and we…

John Steinbeck, when he went in search of America, essentially wanted to discover the country that he hadn’t truly seen or heard in a long time. America, beyond big cities like New York and San Francisco, was essentially a mystery to him. He went on the trip hoping to discover America and discover what was, to him, the mystery of America. He came out of the trip discovering that America is not really the “great” country it is often made out to be. He discovered a lot about America and its…

It seems there has been a lot of inaction to undo what was done in the past and make it easier for all races to flourish equally in this city within Missouri. It is important that society and the government see that there is direct links of racism and other inequalities that are found throughout their society. “As the federal court observed more than 30 years…

their word against blacks. Being a female if I report a white man for abuse or any harm of any sort the chances of the justice taking attention of penalizing the man are higher than if a black man reported a white man. Yes Kasa’vea and I are the same race but when it comes to the justice system I am at more of an advantage. Based on identity development Kasa’vea and I are a part of minority. I am apart of stage 4 because I see racism and forms of oppression but I turn it into a positive thing by…

enough throughout my 19 years of living that I’ve formulated a strong idea as to what my cultural identity is and how it affects me as a person, friend, and future educator. To start off, the biggest factor that influenced my cultural identity is race. My ethnic background is what I was born with and have been associated with my entire life from the moment I was born. Although, living life as a minority (half black/half mexican) meant that I missed out on the racial privilege that was…

Second sight refers to African Americans ability, or need to see themselves not only as they are, but also as the rest of white America sees them. With this type of experience, a person becomes used to the idea that they are what white America portrays them as.

Let’s think about the Black Lives Matter movement, some people would say it is a movement that promotes violence within the black community and it discriminates against the rest of the “races” because it only states “black” lives. So in hindsight they make the black lives matter movement out to be a problematic social group that is selfish and full of resistance. However, this is not the case. If I stand up for my rights or even…

many historians believe that race has not always been a construct of society (Allen 70). That racial awareness was introduced when the Europeans found the Indians and thought they were inferior because of their language, skin, and technology (70).

Another idea that was…
