The White Devil

My watch read 3:15 a.m as I walked into a room full of tired parents and anxious students! As I looked around I wasn’t sure what surprised me more, the fact that I was on time or that I didn’t have the largest suitcase! Krista and I dragged our luggage around the gym looking for our red Grosse Ile bags filled with shirts and sweatshirts. After a good five minutes, we found our bags and joined Mara and Elle in the center of the gym. We got so caught up in conversation, that we barely even…

Grove theatre company that was founded by William Alexander Brown just because of jealousy and the feeling of supremacy. Mr. Brown who was an African American could not fight back, and Mr. Price who was caucasian had an upper hand because he being white was protected by the system (the government). In the speech, Mr. Wilson talked about the work of…

place is called Narnia where it is “always winter but never Christmas.” In Narnia the only way that it will become spring again is if two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve sit on the throne. Yet there is one thing stopping this from happening, the White Witch. She tries to kill the children because they could end her rule over Narnia. Finally, a lion named Aslan comes in and directs the children on the way to go. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe is a brilliant…

them in despair. He begins to visualize the "white" souls of the black people and the "black" souls of the whites who exploit them, exposing that the heart of darkness lies within his own kind. Although Marlow is a product of the 19th century European colonialism, he begins to perceive the wasteful decadence of the colonial oppressors at the expense of an innocent indigenous population. “I’ve seen the devil of violence, and the devil of greed, and the devil of hot desire; but, by all the stars!…

Curtain The poem “The White Man’s Burden” can mean an array of things. From one side, “The White Man’s Burden” was a warning to those who sought the power of the world by controlling land and the people who live there. It also served as encouragement for white men to further imperialism. This can be seen in the line “cold, edged with dear- brought wisdom.” He is providing the knowledge that a white man needs to be successful. Kipling is clearly laying out the harsh realities to white men whose…

It was no different once black people entered the picture as slaves. Malcolm X writes about how the Devil white man is first introduced to millions of Africa’s black people by way of torture, enslavement and kidnapping their people. In this way, Malcolm first believes that the white man is inherently evil because he is the Devil himself. Malcolm talks about how black people’s bodies were considered goods, just like the cotton, tobacco and gold traded in early America…

used the social Darwinist theories as an excuse for the white Australians to apply Darwinist theories like 'survival of the fittest' and 'white superiority' and the overall ill-treatment of the Aborigines. They believed that because of their primitive lifestyle and culture they should be segregated so it was easier to hunt them down and change the mindset sets of the half caste children. Despite, the social Darwinist theories that the white…

Desdemona, his literal blackness became metaphorical (Little 322). As soon as Emilia found out that Othello murdered Desdemona, she had to bring race into the conversation; she made a racist comment by calling him a “blacker devil.” He ends up becoming a whoremonger, a beast, and a devil (Little 322). The racial and non-racial comments that most of the characters made towards him must have been true or became…

As a white male I am oblivious to the fact that I have privilege in this country as a poor white male I don’t tend to see much in the ways of advantage, but I do have them and I tend to see things in a different light because I never have them come up in conversation. I live a simple life and I try to treat everyone the same regardless of their color or gender. I do agree with all of the 6 reasons and know them to be true because some of them I am guilty of and I know a lot of people that are…

Why Positive Thinking Did Not Work for Me Many people believe positive thinking will lead a person to a perfect life; however, it is not completely true as it has its pros and cons. The reason why is because people request for things that they really want without really putting much effort into it and expect everything to fall into place. Today, society has gotten to the point where they make demands to God, and keep waiting to attain the stuff they asked or prayed for. For example, last year…
