Searching for Whitopia, to me literally means white-utopia. There are many contributors showing that Forsyth is a primarily a white county. Some of them being quotes and others being facts. Also, there is many problems with having segregated communities, if we were okay with this we would be a lost cause of a country. Benjamin never experiences racial bigotry during his time in Forsyth County. Yet the book gives us some obvious examples that Forsyth is primarily white, this bringing segregated…

Slavery on the African Americans during the 1500s to the late 19th century was a very cruel time. The conditions that African Americans had to endure was very arduous. Most whites felt superior towards the people that they labeled as slaves. African Americans were stripped of their dignity, pride and were often put through embarrassing situations. African Americans whom were labeled as slaves felt like they had no hope and that all they were good for was to work in the fields. In 1863, the…

thoughts racing through my head. First, I was frustrated. I wished I could have been in the room with those men so I could speak my own opinion. At times, I felt that I wanted to stand up for the white man, who claimed to be color neutral. While other times, I was in ashamed to be grouped with him as a White American. Second, this film opened my eyes to the realization of racism and oppression. I had never heard racism and oppression be expressed in such a raw emotional way. I took this…

narratives. Danielle L. McGuire, author of “At the Dark End of the Street”, exposes coercive, interracial sex during the Civil Rights Era. Presently, everyday another woman came shared their experience of being sexually assaulted against one of many white, male celebrities.

The…

discriminated and segregated however that didn 't stop them for fighting for what they believed in and racial injustice. In the African American community a lot of black activist created groups that helped them defended their community and the supremacy of white people. One example of an activist in the Black community was W. E. B. Du Bois he was a founder of the Niagara movement and the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People (NAACP), both parties was created to fight…

society focused on relationships, reciprocal obligations and related rightful expectations just as it was in Ancient Kemet (Gyckye 1987, 155; Assman 2002, 133-34). The process of deconstructing the damages done by institutional norms founded by White supremacy will not happen over night. Therefore, it is important to be able to work carefully with one another and attempt to restore the African essence that has been silenced and destroyed within incarcerated and formally incarcerated…

I discovered I was white. “Not all white people are white supremacists, but all white people benefit from white supremacy”. She tried prying our eyes open to see that not all white people are chauvinistic but because you are white, prejudice or not, benefit from the racially structured fundamentals that is America. Yes, even 16 year old naive me. How though? I’ve even muttered a racially intended slur in my life! Professor Lee would soon go on to explain “whiteness” is a standard where…

those responsible for their situation. “The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggle” (Karl Marx). Assata’s case is not different she and other black people wanted their situation to change so they refused to submit to white authority in any way they could. Nobody is born with the spirit of rebellion, that spirit is gained through the indignation they feel in their situation. Assata’s environment is what created the rebellious the world knows as Assata Shakur…

characterize the black peoples or more precisely, the Negro-African world”. Leopold Seder Senghor, the well-known black intellectual in Senegal, arguing against those accusations of negritude as racialism and self-negation because of its simple reversal of white/black dichotomy, defines negritude as “the sum of the cultural values of the black world” or “a certain active presence in the world, or better, in the universe”. Senghor's anthology Anthologie de la nouvelle poésie nègre et malgache de…
