Black-Up Mazama: When is it a good time to call you on Friday to chat-chat? Mojo and I are on our way to Beautiful and Hot Valley Green to take easy walk in my type of weather--Burning Hot in the Shade. I have made some improvement in my Joints; from 60% to 70% overall strength, which means I can walk around the house without my cane. My best was 85% to 90%, which is good given my total number of Joints Surgeries were four (one left hip and three right knee). So, I am training to get walk, heat and strength ready for Haiti. Also, I am fasting for seven to ten days to get back to my prime fighting and summer weight. In Easy Training, Brother Ibo
Hi guys! This past weekend we were graced with a much needed fall break. After a few weeks of constant studying, it was nice to have a four day weekend to sit back and relax. After my two tests on Friday I drove seven hours to meet my dad and my girlfriend's dad in Pittsfield Illinois for a few day hunting trip at a lease that my dad has. It was a long drive, but it was worth it when I arrived to a 16oz prime rib at one of my favorite restaurants, the Red Dome. Unfortunately the corn and soybeans had not yet been cut around our farm so we did not see as many deer as usual, but we still had fun and relaxed for a few days.
"so sorry, but i'm sick had to skip class and leave work early today - i'm going to have to skip tonight. how about Saturday?"
We got to JA Biztown a little late so our first break was short and we missed the town meeting but we still
Hello Sandeep, sorry I couldn't make it there yesterday, but I was not feeling well.
In 1797, cotton gin was discovered. Cotton production made the United States expand and started the Market Revolution. As the county continue to expand, economic opportunities grew even further. But even though there were many opportunities in the 19th century, due to race, ethnicity and even class, not all people living in the United States get to enjoy those opportunities. Race and ethnicity affected the economic opportunities of ethnic groups due to certain laws, rules and regulations made by Anglo-Americans.
150-years have passed since the Civil Rights Act and Black Codes were implemented. It becomes easy for the general population and historians to criticize the reactions of the South. Sometimes though, you have to look at it from their point of view, they had just fought and lost a bitter war that threatened their livelihood and social way of life. A life that has been a part of the South for a better part of two centuries. They were now instructed to change their way of life based on new laws passed by Northern legislatures in Washington D.C.
The United States endured an extreme amount of growth in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The rapid, yet massive, expansion inevitably made a global statement. By means of new technology and climbing citizen rates, a path was created for the country to skyrocket. Moreover, immigrants from around the world became intrigued with the opportunity for possibility and wanted to make their mark, while also accustoming themselves to the new culture and society. Therefore, the government created a dramatic impact on the United States through territorial and railroad expansion, immigration acceptance, and the aftermath of the black codes.
I am so sorry that I could not have been on the call this evening. At this moment, I am going though intensive training until 10pm to be an Orientation Leader for this summer. I do hope that you all can understand my predicament.
Some northerners believed that the black codes where a backdoor attempt at reestablishing slavery. I do agree, I agree because they wanted slavery they wanted people to work for them and not have to pay them. The black codes were put into place to restrict what blacks did. When blacks gained rights the black codes basically just took them away. White’s would scare them into working for them and the black codes just helped that. They would either pay them really low wages or put them debt. This is just a few reasons why I believe that the black codes were just a backdoor attempt to get slavery back.
We are on week four, time is going by fast. I Just got home and went strait to my office, I want to get the class started, I am happy about my graded test last week I did well.
It is unfortunate that we will be unable to meet on April 8th. Will you be in the states on April 5th and if so could we possibly meet on April 5th instead of April 8th? If no, April 8th is fine by me, and I will take the NJ transit train from Newark to Princeton.Kind regards,
Blackrock by Nick Enright is a drama piece constructed to challenge dominant social ideology of twentieth century Australian youth. The text presents a very critical attitude towards Australian society in particular the notion of mateship is criticised and exposed in a negative light, as are the justifications, and outcomes of youth independence, and the marginalisation of females. Blackrock, being inspired/based on a the real-life rape and murder of schoolgirl Leigh Leigh (in Stockton, near Newcastle, Australia on 3 November 1989), provides powerful, direct, criticism of dominant Australian (male) youth culture, and highlights how seemingly harmless attitudes and ideologies can lead to the most severe
In 1863 Lincoln passed the ten percent plan which meant ten percent of the Southern population had to take the loyalty oath. (Shultz, 2014). This angered Congress because it was soft towards the Ex-slaves. Congress passed the Wade-Davis Bill, it required fifty percent take the loyalty oath. After Lincoln was assassinated, President Johnson altered The Freedmen’s Bureau which had been created in 1865. President Johnson did not deter the Southern states from developing the Black Codes which caused friction between white and blacks. Creating Radical Republicans was Congress’s answer to the Black Codes. Furthermore, Congress gained control over the president. They attempted to impeach President Johnson, but failed by one vote. They created the
Though the majority of Black Dynamite’s audience misinterpreted this episode’s theme some audience members, more than The Boondocks, are respectful and actually understands the show’s intent to a certain extent. This may be due to the show having a smaller audience than The Boondocks and Black Dynamite not using extremely overt racism. For example, The Boondocks on the “nigga moment” episode uses the “N-word” ten times in the first two minutes of the episode and a total of fifty times throughout the episode (2005). On the contrary, Black Dynamite hardly uses the “N-word” at all in any of its episodes. This is probably why many of the racial comments are made on The Boondocks episodes since it is easier to point out the racial stereotypes than
The film 12 Years a Slave attributes to the black resistance of individual characters throughout the film’s narrative plot. The main representations of black resistance is that of Northup’s tactics to fight for himself and that of the women featured throughout the film. Patsey plays a major role, along with Northup, to change the discourse of slavery, representing the black resistance as a major and prominent theme throughout the film’s course. The notion of black resistance is what the slaves in the film encounter in addition to the narrative continuing and developing their journey. The many instances of black resistance by the slaves proves that these individuals are willing to do whatever they can, whether effective or not, to revive
