Many believe that outer values are the most important aspect, which is justifiable considering that the outer values are the first thing we notice.

Following the story of Cecil Gaines, a black man who went from a slave to a butler in the White House, Lee Daniels’ The Butler was a very exceptional film that depicted the hard truth of racism from the mid 1900’s to the early 2000’s. When Cecil went in for the interview at the White House he was told, “You hear nothing, you see nothing, you only serve.” I felt this was a really interesting position to put a black man in at the time. He was probably told for his whole life to just ignore whats…

In the book The Grill by Adolfo Pardo torture is used as a means of obtaining information from Chilean citizens, when it is both unjustified and gratuitous. Throughout the book we are able to recognize the pain and torment the victims of the torture went through, as we read the first hand account of a woman detained by the Chilean army, during the Pinochet dictatorship. She speaks of the men who detained her, and the torture and humiliation she forcefully had to endure. Sadly this was not…

Mulatto Brazil is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world. Many Brazilians view their nation as a “racial democracy” where there is little unconcealed racism. Black and white relationships started as early as in 1550 in Brazil, when the first Africans were brought as slaves. This was the time when many Portuguese men started marrying black women. Some of the mulatto ethnicity was enslaved. As slaves the individuals worked in the sugar and coffee plantations, alongside enslaved…
