The Oppressed

The Critical Race Feminism and the Critical Race Theory (CRT) can be used with the self-identity and politics of black women’s hair texture, but the Critical Race Feminism would be even more fitting to use within black women and black hair. In addition, the Critical Race Feminism theory is a feminist perspective of the Critical Race Theory. The basic concept of Critical Race Feminism brings out the gendered aspects of injustice, which can be related to the need of respecting and the…

White Privilege White privilege is the idea that whites have a particular advantage in society over the minority groups in terms of social, political or economic situations. White privilege advantages whites in many ways. The most important way I feel that white privilege advantages whites in that they may never have to worry about getting in trouble with the law enforcement officers over unnecessary things. For example, with the Sandra Bland case, the officer that arrested her was put on…

living conditions (Amstutz 23). It was not until 1999, that the global community regarded the KLA-Serb conflict as deserving of international attention. The United Nations attempted to intervene in the civil conflict on behalf of the beleaguered and oppressed Kosovar people, but China and Russia staunchly opposed using force against Serbia—to do so would be to disregard the political sovereignty of Serbia’s government. The action, or rather inaction, of China and Russia was immoral in that, they…

we learned both math and English at a slow pace, but learning math at a slower pace than what I was used to ruined my enjoyment because math was effortless to me and the only problem I had was struggling in English. This proves that education is oppressed because I had to learn both subjects the same way as all the other students did in that…

unequal opportunities within different social groups. Being a white person in America you are automatically distinguished as “normal,” privileged, and the dominant group. For example, as an African American woman, I am targeted and perceived as oppressed because I identify as black and a woman. The privileges that are given to the white dominant group are not the same privileges given to minorities. Contrary to belief, even if you have…

four hundred spread throughout fourteen countries (Stangel). But more than these impressive numbers, Apple has evolved into a household brand with a religious following. Karl Marx describes religion in a utilitarian sense, as, “…The sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people” (Marx). Without a doubt, Apple has evolved into an opium for the masses through their ability to educate the public about personal…

Reclaiming Critical Analysis: The Social Harms of “Bitch” “Sexism is the water we swim in, and we are the fish who cannot see it.” Sherryl Kleinman asserts in The Social Harms of Bitch: a piece where she analyzes how some women have recently attempted to “reclaim” the term “bitch” in popular culture and questions whether it is possible to endow a sexist term with a positive connotation. Women can say “bitches” in reference to her friends, say “sexy bitch” in a positive connotation, but despite…

” Of course, I ask what she meant. “Well, she said, I noticed they didn’t have a stove or a microwave. How will they cook the turkey?” For me, this exemplifies providing a ministry for our “feel good” responsibility and not to the needs of those oppressed. In Philippians, Paul reminds us to imitate Christ, “Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others.”…

from their parent country and becoming their own country, there were many reasons why they wanted to do so. In Thomas Paine's book Rights of Man he does a great job summing these reasons up when he wrote that in the new America “The poor are not oppressed, the rich are not privileged ... their taxes are few, because their government is just; and as there is nothing to render them wretched, there is nothing to engender riots and tumults.” He writes this hoping that America will live according to…
