They cannot just block out the warnings and ignore them completely when they do show dangers in the world and precautions that save lives from time to time. People change people. They tell stories, commit crimes, or tell lies to make other people afraid of other cultures or subcultures. People watch others surpass them in life and feel injustice. People see how others treat them with a badge and become corrupt with power. People see heroes…

Resistance and collaborations are specific terms devised to classify the respective modes towards colonialism; there are those to openly collaborating with the occupying forces, while others employed several other…

Although the gap between black people and white people has gotten smaller, it still exists in the United States. Slavery and that time period was the initial cause for the divide, but equality has never truly been established. Many white people still think of themselves as superior, even if unconsciously. Americans, black and white, can never actually come together and move on from the past if the present is not fair either. For white people, it is hard to understand the struggle a black person…

The separation of the family unit could result in severe health problem of a family member, which could result death in some cases. In the case slavery, the separation of the family was constantly used throughout slavery as a threat to the enslaved people. In chapter five, Equiano talks how he has been traded many of times and is outright sick of it and wants nothing to do with slavery.

features and even the hair texture. Based on the “Sorting People” activity that I’ve done, I found that I did poorly on the test. I got only 5 out of 20 questions right.

People usually have stereotypes that Whites always…

“In the U.S., blacks, Mexicans, Chinese and Japanese immigrants were targets of discrimination in employment and property ownership.” This may not be happening in the modern era, but over a past history of hundreds of years it was seen as if white people were the race that controlled all the others. No it was not for the reason that they showed superior characteristics, the reason was their skin color. Anyone who wasn’t white was seen as a lower class, and treated in despicable ways that words…

It is not only a physical gift that can be given, but a gift of friendship, acceptance, or other things of this nature can be shared and have a greater impact than physical items. A gift can contradict the receiver’s original perspective of one’s character or personality for better or for worse, and this contradiction can spawn a new view of the gift-giver. Gifts given in Harper Lee 's To Kill a Mockingbird have properties…

Manifest Destiny. White Anglo-Saxons assumed they were called by God to rule the “New World”, but also to rule the Africans they had enslaved. In essence, God chose white people over all other races to be the ruling elites who dominate the world. They are the chosen people, in similar ways to Israel, who were God’s chosen people, determined to rule and colonize the “Promised Land”. Not only would Americans colonize, they would also proselytize and set an example of what pious morality ought…

Detroit, once a symbol of progress in the American economy, has become the failure story of 20th century America. A main factor consisted in racial discrimination towards black people, bringing consequences such as racial division on the society and class inequality. However, racial discrimination did not exclusively brought capitalism towards Black Detroiters lives, but also oligarchy played a role.
