Black Intellectals Research Paper

Over the last two years in the United States the African-American people have been fighting a war within our own backyards. The Washington Post reports that since January 2015, the police have shot and killed over 175 young black men ranging from ages 18-29; 24 of them were unarmed. On the flip side 172 young white men were killed, only 18 being unarmed. With these statistics there are similarities in the numbers but, blacks were killed at rates disproportional to their percentage of U.S population (1.Washington Post). Of all unarmed people shot and killed by police in 2015. With 40% being black men make up just 6% of the nation’s populations. In the wake of the killings of Mike Brown, Sandra Bland, Alton Sterling, and many more the world has been made more publicly aware of injustices black people have to handle when dealing with law enforcement. Crime in the black community is nothing new in the black community or should I say black on black crime. There is a bad stereotype that has been put on black people since slavery times that I believe has help fueled the violence between the police and my people.

The White house is a symbol of the American democracy. The main attractions here include information and artifacts about the first families, home furnishings and social events. Visitors to the executive mansion must reserve a ticket in advance. In spite of security checks, visitors are allowed to carry cell-phones and

Caramel, mocha, chocolate, dark chocolate, butterscotch, brownie, honey. Terms of endearment for the Black race can sound so inviting and sensually stimulating; why then, was I not welcomed with a loving embrace into my own community? An understated problem within the Black community today is that of internalized racism. Should a Black person stray from the status quo and main stream perception of American citizens from African descent as having violent-tendencies and being intemperate, then we are marginalized, and what is worse, we marginalize one another. I have first-hand experience with such marginalization from my peers. I have spent the preponderance of my academic career in a predominantly white community, which has greatly swayed my

Known around the nation as the Negro Wall Street, the community of Greenwood was the wealthiest black community at that time. African Americans moved to the Greenwood area of Tulsa to take advantage of the opportunities that were available to them.

I do agree that hispanics and African American struggles are sort of similar. Some hispanics had to sneak across the border to get in our country for freedom. African Americans had to escape from the south to the north to get freedom in slavery days. Still today the police target blacks and Hispanics, so they put them in the same boat. They talk about the poverty of Blacks and Hispanics, and crime are in both neighborhoods. African Americans and Hispanic somehow find himself in some kind of rivalry. I do not know if this is because they both are struggling, and do not want to see one do better than the other one. I believe Hispanics and blacks need to get together , and stand against the stereotyping of their neighborhoods. They need to let

“No, I don’t want a Black History Month, Black History is American History. How do we expect to get rid of racism and stop talking about it. If I stop calling you white man and I’m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man”. This is one of Morgan Freeman’s statements in his interview with 60 Seconds about his views on race and Black History Month. Which is also sparked the Black History Month debate and/or controversy over 10 years ago.

The NAACP was founded in 1909 by Moorfield Storey, Mary White Ovington and W. E. B. Du Bois. The purpose of this organization is to provide equal opportunities and rights to those who have experienced discrimination for their race. This organization was formed after a riot in 1908 called the Race Riot in Springfield, Ohio. After this riot the need for an organization such as this was in high demand. For the first few years of this organization the NAACP used most of their resources to eliminate segregation between the whites and the

The Black Panther Party The Black Panther Party took a radical turn in history. Their main goal was to redeem the nation through violent means. The Panthers were also entwined in the Black Power and antiwar movement. Many white Americans were taking over both movements and consequently alienating black Americans. Within the Black Panther Party, the leaders had differing philosophies: Martin Luther King's approach to change was centered on non-violence and Malcom X believed that violence was a necessary means.

Sufferings of Blacks Richard Wright depicts the United States through many of his hardships that he went through in his youthful years in the early 20th century and how he has overcome them. In Wright’s Black Boy, Richard associates his hunger and oppression with the United States. He associates these things with the United States through his childhood history of starvation, abuse, and cruelty from the family and society around him that made his family become unsupportive and uncaring towards him. The aspects that he associates these things with the United States are racism and ignorance to his kind of people. Wright is trying to bring awareness to the American society of the kind of difficulties that he had and many others like him and

Starvation within the White Walls, 1 “(The hunger for love, belonging, and hope is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread)(Mother Teresa)”. Richard Wright, a young black boy fighting racial prejudice within the South, longs for love, hope, and freedom. The bars of the South’s unjust culture imprisons Richard’s weakening body; for hunger, a physical and mental void, overcomes his remaining essence. Hunger consumes Richard’s embodiment, as his former ravenous self depletes into a shell of the past. Within the classic novel Black Boy, hunger comes to symbolize the absence of love, innocence, and hope within young Richard’s life.

At some point in our lives, we have to make a choice, whether to stand up for what we believe in or to let society define our lives for us. Imagine yourself being an African American in the 1950’s. You have just finished a long shift at work and you are completely exhausted. Your bus pulls up and you get on with a couple of other people who pay the same amount as you; however, the section where you can sit is in the back of the bus because of the color of your skin. You decide to sit near the middle right at the beginning of your section and the bus continues going from stop to stop. After one of the stops the bus driver notices that the section for whites is now full, so he orders you and the other colored people in your row to move to

Through the late 1960’s to early 1990’s the expansion on folklore expanded, not only through myths and legends but through experiences and encounters. The first ever sighting of an UFO was around 1440 BCE in ancient egypt. There have been more sightings around the world but the spark of UFO started around the early 1960’s and through the late 1990’s. With the spark of UFO sightings also came another folklore; the Men in Black or known has MIB. The Men in Black were a group of organized highly intelligent people who appeared to those who have gather too much information about UFO’s. However they also try to convince those to stop there research and never talk about it again. If they fail to comply majority of the stories that have been told they’ve either gone missing or ended up dead in a unnaturally way. Not only were the stories seemed strange but also their appearances, the MIB traditionally come in a group of three, no facial hair, no hair,with a black suit, and black sunglasses. Hence the name Men in Black. MIB existed long before their association with UFOs in folklore, often appearing as an archetype of the devil or agents of the devil. They could be
