White people

a few black boys when with white girls. when the whites people found out about it, the girl would always say, the black boy make her do it.if the black boy wanted to live another day, he had to leave town that night and never came back again. sometimes the boy’s family suffer for his action. it was and still is a small town, everyone knew everybody black and white, but we didn 't go to school together. 3. It was a good place to live and grow up. I am so glad I was raised there, after I…

mockingbirds. A character in the story who is a “mockingbird’” is Tom Robinson. I think Tom Robinson’s case is like killing a mockingbird. I believe this because “Mockingbirds don 't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don 't eat up people 's gardens, don 't nest in corncribs, they don 't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That 's why it 's a sin to kill a mockingbird” (Lee Harper, 93) like Miss Maudie says. This same quote by Miss Maudie’s would be proved in Tom…

police brutality against black lives, and the increasing racial slurs against people from different ethnicities, racism is live and flourishing like never before. I found it very alarming how in today’s society, the public policy for people of different socioeconomic status and or of a minority group is significantly different. The Smedley and Smedley article makes it very obvious that contrary what the American people believe that the health care system is improving everyone, it is still a…

and produced by Jerome Robbins, constructs racialized identities for its Puerto Rican characters. Their constructed, stereotypical identities are not accurate or realistic. However, the film has been very popular, among the mainstream audience – the white Americans – and among the Puerto Rican spectators. I believe that the so-critiqued racist elements against Puerto Ricans in the film is lightened up the mood by the virtuosity – the beautiful music and the iconic, beloved, tragic, superimposed…

The Racist Americans The world as we know it right now is made up of many different races and different kinds of people. Each race has its own backstory, some have their own religion, practices, civilizations, and many other unique things. Humankind has managed to invent, survive, and prosper to this point that we are at right now. The one thing that has stuck around throughout the centuries is racism. In the eyes of someone who doesn’t experience racism, I can say that it has dulled since the…

The first piece is known as, “Uncle Sam's Thanksgiving Dinner” and it was created by Thomas Nast. It was painted around 1869, and published November 20th, 1869 in Harper's Weekly. It shows an array of people sitting around a large table, in a Thanksgiving setting. There are different pictures hanging on the wall and various items on the table, such as a turkey and large centerpiece. The picture was created four years after the Civil War came to a halt and depicts America regrouping and becoming…

creates an editorial posted in the Colored News section showing his disdain for the values of many of the white society of Maycomb. Mr. Underwood wanted the people of Maycomb to feel guilty for bassing on an innocent crippled man for something he obviously didn’t do. He goes all out comparing Tom’s death to the “slaughter of songbirds”, creating a vitriolic tone as he obliquely criticize the white people of Maycomb for being so cruel and hatred (pg. 323). Tom Robinson was an innocent man…

With white privilege comes a certain power. Wielding white privilege in your fist gives you the ability to argue that historically black colleges are racist, to argue that you suffer as much as the next person of color does, to scream and rally “All Lives Matter,” all the while denying you have this sort of power. Many white people do not know of its power, they do not know of its strength. However, they possess and use this strength in ways which they do not even realize. Without the…

similarities and contrasts. The movie is about two indian boys named Victor and Thomas who go on an adventure to retrieve Victor's’ father's’ ashes. In the novel Junior, the main character struggles to find his place in society, he ends up going to a white kids school instead of the indian reservation school. Another thing to notice is that Victor and Thomas were around the age of 18 maybe 19 years old, Junior on the other hand was about 14 or 15 years old so a bit of an age difference. Both the…

Throughout the years society has been stoic in the matters of racial conflict, whether it is the slavery during the Civil War, or the fear black men being shot by white officers today: there has always been a divide in the races. A man known famously as Dr.Seuss created many political cartoons to depict many of these social conflicts that are now more than ever relevant. These pieces of artwork are more relevant due to the recent conflicts in places around the world working with race, and…
