The American Spectator

The main focus is music, white artists will continue to emerge and prosper off of black culture. Sad truth but that’s life. Slim Jesus is another example. He’s the white Chief Keef, but since he’s white, many people like it. And then there are the spectators who don’t like it because he’s a poser but that’s only the black community. Some white people aren’t even aware of their privilege and many don’t take advantage of it. In the future, I see protests based on colorism in music, because people…

Colored Allowed”. These are some of the things that exemplified unequal rights in America during the civil rights movement in the 1960’s. In the year of 1963, Martin Luther King delivered his famous “I Have A Dream” speech to hundred of thousands spectators during these difficult times for dark colored skin individuals in America. Many people would consider Mr. King’s “I Have A Dream”, speech as one of the greatest one to this day. It included a perfect combination of Ethos, logos and Pathos…

prominent place in contemporary American society. Mainstream American sport such as Baseball, Basketball, and Football are some of the most widely viewed events.

On the one hand, sport and physical culture are partially constructed by and used to construct the political and economic backdrop of America. The neoliberal society is reproduced through sport and physical culture. American sport emphasizes…

Robinson trial, Scout knows that prejudice exist but listening to Bob Ewell during the trial is astounding owing to the fact that, he loathe all blacks, especially Tom Robinson. Inside the courtroom, Scout see segregation in place when the African American spectators are forced to wait until all of the white people enter the courtroom before they can enter. Blacks must sit in the balcony, while whites sit in the main area on the ground floor. Scout had learned that what Atticus had said about…

humanity during the Civil Rights Movement, African Americans, and other non-black activists who helped them, noticed a few things that would aid in their fight. Non-violent demonstrations were the most effective way to protest; litigation, when it would happen, was slowly but surely aiding them, rather than oppressing them as it had with Jim Crow laws; media attention brought support to the movement, and economic boycotts would show that the African American dollar was worth something to…

American University professors David and Myra Sadker work together to expose gender bias in the education system. In the excerpt “Hidden Lessons,” from their book Failing at Fairness: How Our Schools Cheat Girls (1994), the Sadkers shed light on social injustices within the education system. They use examples from controlled simulations to show their audience how gender bias happens right before their eyes. Their argument says that there is gender bias in schools, but many teachers, parents,…

People came from all over the area came to see it, on foot, by wagon, by horse. Entire families came and picnic on the courthouse lawn, and when Jem, Scout, Dill tried to get seats, they end upstairs in the balcony with the African-Americans of the community, sitting with Reverend Sykes. This shows about a great deal how Atticus has lifted his children they did not think twice before sitting with the black’s community, but it is probably siting pretty to say that most of the whites sitting…

What specific events do you believe lead to the strife and continual divide between Great Britain and the Colonies, between the years immediately following the Seven Years War and the start of the American Revolution? Use support from the primary and secondary…

Show Boat Show Boat was first presented on stage in the year 1927, and it had a lot of characteristics that if presented to the contemporary audience, may be provocative or offensive (Ferber & Hirsch, 2012). The timing of the presentation was at a time marked by high levels of racial discrimination. Some of the words and dialects used in the performance may seem offensive to some social groups in the modern society. The setting of the show was at a time when there were widespread socio-economic…

problem choosing to ignore them. This statement is not true for Atticus Finch, whose moral compass leads him to always do the right thing. To Kill a Mockingbird focuses on the impact of morals on society and on an innocent man’s life. When an African American, Tom Robinson, is wrongly accused of raping Caucasian Mayella Ewell, Atticus Finch is assigned to defend him. Institutionalized racial bias is still common in the South in the 1930s, and Atticus knows that Robinson will not be acquitted,…
