Race track

Introduction. Writing this paper will be my therapy and I am thankful for the opportunity that has been granted to me for the reflection.

For example, the brutality of police against Black…

with Lula as if everything was alright. The conductor mumbles songs and dances with Lula, demonstrating yet again another stereotype of Blacks dancing and singing to music. This shows that African American men are at war with themselves and their own race because it was as if the entire train ride was a set up for the conductor and Lula, the “white woman”, to continue the oppression for black males trying to become a successful part of society.

Racial inequality has been a reality in the United States for its entire history and presently continues to be a force that creates division among Americans. Many Americans believed that racism ended with the Civil Rights era in the 1960s, during which figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X led the movement for equality. However, it was not until 2014, with the death of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old black man at the hands of a white police officer, in Ferguson, Missouri, that racism…
