Dear White People is a show about black students’ attempt to address and solve racial issues at their predominately white, ivy league institution. Each episode is told from the perspective of the main characters. The point of the film is to communicate a narrative that is not seen enough.

The Southern portion of the United States ranging from the East Coast to Texas is commonly referred to as the South. Two different versions of this area exist. One is the true South that anyone who drives through states like Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi will see. The other South is a popularized depiction of this region. Hollywood has played a part in constructing this version of the South by creating countless movies that have depicted a stereotyped South fixated on the Antebellum Era. The 2002 movie “Sweet Home Alabama” poetries Southerners that are trying to preserve the way of life that existed before the Civil War.

"Brownies" is a story by ZZ Packer, who is a contemporary African American writer. The story appears in her short story collection Drinking Coffee Elsewhere, which was published in 2003.

Morgan states that her community has came to a point in their history where black on black love is in serious danger. Even when it has survived physical dangers such as slavery, lynching, segregation, poverty and racism. It is now in danger because black men are made to believe that the enemy is their own people. White power structure made them believe that their sisters are not worthy of love and respect they should be getting. She claims that black women are hurt when they hear their brothers calling them “bitches and hoes”. However, the real crime isn’t the name calling but its the failure for their brothers to love them and t to commit to being their brothers in the way that they commit themselves to being their sisters. She says that one thing they have to realize is that if a man doesn’t truly love himself then they are incapable of loving them in the healthy way that they need to be loved. She concludes that if black men who only see what they should be referring to as sister as bitches and hoes then it tells them that they refer to themselves as

The piece chosen was created by Kara Walker(1969-). The intensely large sculpture created at seventy-five feet long, thirty-five feet tall with the width is unknown sculpture is known as “A Subtlety, or the Marvelous Sugar Baby” This piece was created at closed down Domino Sugar factory. In addition to the usage of space, Walker also used a sugary paste donated by Domino Sugar to create the exterior layer of the sculpture. This piece was created similar to a replica of The Sphinx. While the shape and form of the “Marvelous Sugar Baby” is similar to The Sphinx, resting on its appendages, the sculptures are quite different. Unlike the Sphinx, Walker’s piece was created with the features of an African woman wearing a headband with the over dramatized and example of an over sexualized African woman’s body. She had choose to create this piece at this location because the building was less than standard. The structure was falling apart, molasses running down the walls. It was a horrid, yet an ideal place for the project in her eyes. The way the entire Domino structure was built provided for a cage of sorts, made of the beams holding up the place, surrounding the “Marvelous Sugar Baby”. She created this piece with the intention of speaking out against the difficulties people nowadays have when discussing the several hardships in the past that were brought upon these women: Slave trading for high quality items or services and sexualization of African women.

The play presents complex notions about family bonds, based upon their shared cultural experiences and the way in which they reinforce their cultural Australian identity and help members of the family endure the physical hardship and social isolation. Jack Davis’ social realist drama, ‘No Sugar’ explores how the varying levels of family unity, rebellion and cultural identity depicted in different characters influences their survival. In this play, the term ‘survival’ operates on two continuums. It is conveyed as the physical sense of life and death through the play’s protagonist, Jimmy Munday, as well as the pursuit of happiness. This pursuit is predominantly reflected in the parallel yet contrasted lives of Mary and Billy Kimberley as well as Gran’s deteriorating health after losing family members. Although Davis articulates the endurance of the Indigenous Australians, he incorporates figures of white authority who seek to demolish the Indigenous race and culture. Set in the time frame of 1929 to 1934, ‘No Sugar’ presents a critique of the conventional colonial British views of that era; and their effect on the preservation of Indigenous spirit and culture.

One’s colour, religion and families origin should not interfere with the happiness between the couple.

If you are Mexican then people think you cannot speak English. Furthermore, it is commonly thought, by racist, that African American want to marry whites to improve their race.
