Black Marvel Appointment Analysis

During the book, Black like Me, John Howard Griffin turned himself into a black man to experience the true discrimination of the south. His experiment is six weeks long. During these six weeks he experienced many different kinds of people in the south and how the treated black people. After he had finished his six week experiment he stopped taking the medication that turned his skin darker, which then turned him back into a white man. After all, some people dispute the fact that he actually experienced true treatment of a black man. I disagree with that that statement, because although he was only a black man for six weeks he still experienced the hardship that the black man faces every day of his life.

In “The Black Panther Platform: What We Want, What We Believe,” Huey Newton and Bobby Seale use intersectionality and contradiction to criticize several structural obstacles that facilitated unfair treatment of black people. Some of these injustices included inequalities in basic necessities like housing and education, the economic exploitation of black people in a capitalist society, and military, judicial, and police targeting of black people. Hegemonic ideologies had been dictating the lives of black people for centuries, and the Black Panther Party was a revolutionary socialist party founded in 1966 during the Civil Rights Movement that sought to promote the counter-hegemonic movement in favor of civil liberties. The ideologies that the

In 2010, the University of North Carolina (the “University”) launched an investigation into the department of African and Afro-American (AFAM) studies, in which several athletes were given special treatment in “paper classes” (Hartlyn and Andrews 1). In July of 2011, a student athlete, Michael McAdoo, filed a lawsuit against the University and the NCAA due to his ineligibility to play football. In the complaint, the student attached a paper for his Swahili 403 course in which evidence of plagiarism was found (“Evidence of Academic”). In addition, some players had been receiving grades in classes that did not exist in the AFAM department (Lyall). This fraudulent activity attracted media attention to the University and Karen Gil, the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, launched an investigation to analyze the previous academic years ranging from 2007 to 2011 (“Evidence of Academic”). The findings from the review committee included unauthorized grade changes, forged faculty signatures on grade rolls and limited to no class time (the “Crisis”).

The mission driven organization that we will profile is 100 Black Men of America incorporated. The overall concept of the 100 began in New York in 1963 when a group of concerned African American men began to meet to explore ways of improving conditions in their community. The group eventually adopted the name, "100 Black Men, Inc." as a sign of solidarity. The organization’s founders envisioned an organization that would implement programs designed to improve the quality of life for African Americans and other minorities. They also wished to ensure the future of their communities by aiming an intense number of resources toward youth development. Mission-driven organizations are designed to drive social change. The history of these organizations

"Five police officers died and seven were injured," because of the protest of Black Lives Matter. The United States is becoming a divided country because of racial issues. This country has been dealing with racism ever since 1776; when America became a country.

This chapter is about how Sudhir began to study the poor African Americans near the University of Chicago campus. Although the students at the University of Chicago campus were warned to stay away from certain areas around the campus, Sudhir began to venture into these neighborhoods. Hearing about and seeing the poor African American neighborhoods led him to begin his research. He was lead to the Lake Park projects in an effort to interview young black men (Venkatesh 2008:9). This is where he met J.T. a member of a local gang. Using the interview questions he had prepared for his interviews did not get him any useful information. As Sudhir was being turned away, J.T. offered that “With people

Amber Stockton’s topic # 1 Demonizing of law enforcement would be opposed by the Black Lives Matters Movement, supporters of the movement and knowledgeable African Americans too because the thesis statement asks a question that is argumentative and debatable. The opposition would know that the writer is not informed on the topic and has made a claim based off of what she believes the Slogan means rather than doing research to provide a logical reason for taking her stance. It is acceptable for the writer to take this type of stance, however the reason for taking it needs to be stated and supported with evidence. However, the thesis does state her opinion or claim and provides the audience with her stance on the topic. I would not refute the opposition because my position is with the opposition.

The first photo shown is of protester Leisha Evans being detained by law enforcement officers in Baton Rouge July 09, 2016. Those who were around in the 1960's and 1970's the image immediately harkens back to the photos of the killings at Kent State in 1970 and the protests in Tiananmen square in China.

The speech I attended was a panel of women who had all previously been to prison. This panel was particularly interesting because these women were the inspiration for the television series Orange is the New Black. The Netflix original series is based on Piper Kerman’s book of the same name. The book was based on her experience in the women’s prison Danbury, which is located in Connecticut. Piper wrote about her personal story and the stories of many of the women she interacted with. Several of these very women came to Suffolk University to give a talk on their own personal experience in the prison system and their thoughts on the television series.

My short paper I will be writing on the following documents the Black Panthers and the people and the police in Oakland. The Black Panther party founded in 1966 in Oakland. The Black Panthers were always armed with great words of Malcolm X, laws and weapons. The black panthers were a huge part of American history. They fed the hungry, also protected the weak, from racist police officers and was a huge focus on black political and social activism. In the mid-1960s, the black partners started neighborhood control. In these neighborhood controls they were able to provide education and police services. The black panthers were huge on supporting guns, which they believed guns are used for self-defense but also to retaliate against people who had different views about the poor.

Author, John Howard Griffin, in his 50th anniversary edition book, written in the form of a journal “Black Like Me” (2011), states that he manipulated his natural coloring in order to research the lives of American Negros. Griffin who was a theology student, and musicologist, photographer and novelist decided to see for himself what it was like to be a black man. My first thought was he had a severe case of being shell-shocked. However, he would soon experience the culture, and hatred of an American Negro.

The end of World War II and the start of the Algerian War of Independence defined France during the mid 1900s. Many black intellectuals, including poet Léopold Sédar Senghor and writer William Gardner Smith grappled with the war, colonialism and racism that permeated French culture, whether overtly or subtly. Despite the similar imagery within their prose, the authors showcase two distinct points of view. Both authors describe ugly, inhuman visages, but in Senghor’s work, these twisted faces are merely masks, as removable as the humanly-constructed horror of the era, whereas Smith sees the twistedness as fully ingrained in the human countenance.
