When talking to her grandma she sees how being unhappy with herself makes the boys who had thrown eggs at Melba happy and make themselves feel powerful because they know they took something from her.
The Black Lives Matter movement has been floating through social media for many years now. According to the official Black Lives Matter website “Black Lives Matter is a chapter-based national organization working for the validity of Black life. We are working to rebuild the Black liberation movement.” The movement was formed against law enforcement officers murdering African Americans because of fear.

For many years, there has been an unjust treating of the African American race. They have been killed and disrespected by several people, including the police force. Only recently has that been broadcasted in the media. It goes back to the 1960s when ‘televised footage of well-dressed white people heckling black children as they walk to school” (Stephen) to present day that is now being broadcast on various social media platforms. This isn’t being done to show of the actions of these people but more in a way to expose them and the harshness going on in the world.

This issue is gaining widespread awareness from not only black but also white American adults, but attitudes about the movement vary considerably between groups.
A term that is currently up for debate on the meaning is “Black Lives Matter”. The black lives matter movement started as a result of recent black deaths caused by police officers. Examples include, Ferguson Missouri and Baton Rouge. Every time a new black man or woman tragically loses their life at the hands of law enforcement the nation goes into full out protest mode. In an effort to put an end to black men dying this way, the black community started the Black Lives Matter movement. The way that this term was originally meant to be used was in a positive way. The black community wanted their voices to be heard; they wanted the nation to know that they were just as important as everyone else and should be protected equally by the police.
Society recently has been making its job to revert racism and to clarify what being racist is. The Black Lives Matter Movement, founded in 2012 by three women of color is now a household name in less privileged ethnic enclaves. The reason why is because this group focuses on having marginalized groups within the Black community front lining the protests for achieving their justice. However, the Ku Klux Klan founded in 1866 has ideals that completely shift the other direction. They shift towards hate crimes and even domestic terrorism. They are in favor of having white wealthy Christian men in power. Privilege also plays a role within these racialized groups. This essay will explore how race and racialization explicitly shows how these two organizations

Why the movement started was because of a white police officer shot a black man Michael Brown just 18 years old. They say it was because they thought he was pulling out a weapon. But, was it really because of a weapon or racial injustice. If it was just of racism and personal thoughts the man should not be a police officer if he puts other people in danger. Also, this is not the first time racism has taken place, not just now it was back in 1400´s. Racism takes place today when you walk down the street and you hear racism, or there is racism on social media. Why did blacks and whites
Discrimination, segregation,racism, oppression,and injustice in the court of law are things my generation’s ancestors went through and today most of us to be truthful.

One of the most controversial issues our society takes stances on today is technology. Most people tend to perceive technology as a disease that has infiltrated our society and is taking over our lives, if not taking them as a whole, like the Black Plague. The reason this happens is because these people also neglect to look at how technology has ameliorated our society, especially in the sense of community. The term community is objective; however its definition, like our society, has evolved over time.
