The Black People Song Video Analysis

There were so many different nationalities that made of the school is was like a miniature melting pot, and this allowed me to see things about not only my culture but others as well that I have never seen before. For instance too often, "racism" is seen as a social phenomenon that happens to black people, but it happens through black people as well. That is, the negative affiliations hurled upon black people and black culture that paint how we perceive EACH other. Blacks & whites receive the same anecdotes & images that perpetuate common stereotypes of black criminality & flippancy while systematically synonymizing white culture with American values. Its to be expected for there to be an observable impact on black intragroup perceptions. Nevertheless,

Let 's start from the beginning, I was a high school freshman who had been around the same people my whole life. Some might call it out of the norm for someone of my skin color. Although it was a public school in the suburbs of Houston it was infamous of being the “white school.” The school had just opened and there were only sophomores

analysis and inspiration. Something that jumps out during this video that needs analyzing is the racial stereotypes. In the unit two reading, it talks about a problem within hip-hop music videos. The videos supposedly put out bad messages and “perpetuate” stereotypes upon themselves. Fans of hip-hop say that “hip-hop music is a reflection of the realities of life in much of black America” (Caliendo 35). Although this music video has characteristics of stereotypes, they don’t seem offensive. Big Sean, Kanye West, and John

We couldn’t build a treehouse or ride a four-wheeler in Clinton. We eventually sold the two-story, mahogany-red house in Clinton and moved to a place called Pisgah, Mississippi. We rented a two-story, blue house that had about two acres of land for six months while my parents searched and searched online for their dream house. It was beside a giant soybean field, a mechanic, and the sweet, old lady next door. The house was pretty old and worn out. It was the beginning of 2015 and the second semester of school was about to start. I’m very nerdy so all the other nerds at the school welcomed me there. There were a lot of white people there and very few African-Americans. Everybody had a thick, country accent and wore camouflage there. Even the Spanish teacher was a redneck like everybody else. I didn’t feel comfortable at first, but after a while it sort of changed

From Kindergarten up to my sophomore year of High School I attended a private school. My elementary school and high school were slightly diverse. The majority of the student body was Caucasian and the rest were made up of several other races. My school environment was very structured and controlled. I had some great teachers and one or two bad teachers. Around fifth grade I started to notice the way teachers perceived me and the challenges I would deal with due to the color of my skin. There were

This video showed the viewpoints from people of mixed race. It focused on those that are Latino and Black. It can sometimes be a struggle to be Latino and Black. Some feel like they have to choose which race to identify with. They should be able to embrace both races and not be judged. The divide is really caused because of lack of understanding. If more people get to know one another then they will see that different races can identify and gain a connection.

I started school at a place named little rock elementary. I remember My first day of school like it was yesterday. I've never met a black man until this day; his name was Thomas, the only black boy at the school. I decided that I would be friends with him since nobody else would talk to him and looked at him as if he was an extraterrestrial. I felt as if I the same as him for the reason being that I did not have many friends myself; his color didn't matter much to me on that during the start of school. This is what I did not know my father was a KKK clan leader, I never knew what the KKK was because my father never explained it to me, I did not have friends so the other kids at school never explained it to me, but I would hear

The first video it talked about how the Jim Crow Laws happen and it was shocking for me because Jim Crow used to be a character for comedy based on a black person, it was basically entertainment for the Whites only. Jim Crow was basically a form of racial discrimination. One person that hated the law was our well known president Abraham Lincoln he wanted to put a stop to slavery because he wanted the

In school we look normal to all people like nothing was happening i was gland that my sister and I were in the same high school but different floors. My school was mixed, Hispanics from Honduras, Mexico, Puerto Ricans, but mostly Dominicans, African Americans, etc. My teachers were A few African Americans, one Spanish, and mostly White Caucasians. All my teachers were so lovely except for one, he was African American and he was a history teacher. It was my freshman year and I couldn’t express myself properly in English, he asks me to read a page of a book, and I didn’t have the abilities to pronounce properly most of the words. The teacher lost his patience and shouted me “what I was doing in a school where no one speak Spanish” I responded

The Black Power Mixtape follows momentous events between 1965 and 1975. It is directed by two Swedish directors, and their nationality is very important for the layout of the film. The film takes place during the Civil Rights Movement, and included leaders such as Stokely Carmichael, Angela Davis, Malcolm X, and Medgar Evers. This was also during the time of the Vietnam War, whom Sweden saw a useless war. The heads of this country were the Nixon Administration, and Lyndon Johnson’s administration.

During grade school I went to school in a predominantly black neighborhood. Although I was not to much out of place being half African American there was always a noticeable difference between me and them. My skin was lighter, I listened to different music,

Kids make fun of other kids for the smallest of things that differ from them, such as making fun of a little boy/girl who loves a certain thing like a different cartoon from them or like mythical creatures or even kids who do not or do eat school lunches or bring something from home as well as dumb things like backpacks, clothes, even their favorite color and lastly who they like. These are the small things, growing up I never ever seen an African American until I moved to another town and then the year after that one boy moved their joining our football team. This was very different for me and

Coming from a diverse community to a predominantly all white community has been a slow transition. I’ve experienced situations where sometimes I question my identity and who I really am. I’ve experience microaggressions within my work environment and my internship at the Boys and Girls club in Mckinleyville. Kids are extraordinary, but are a mirror image of their parents or adult figures present in the household. You can see by the way kids talk to peers or adult figures, treat one another, that there’s an unfair thinking being embedded in their cognitive development. This will affect them in how they go about their day, who they chose to interact with, what they allow to happen and the type of

The school atmosphere was different I was hanging with Caucasian girls and the African American children did not understand what I was doing being so close to children opposite of my own culture. At that point, I was unsure of what their problem was but realized they were sheltered from other cultures and raised differently. This caused several fights as a child because other children would call me a “little white girl” and I had no idea of what that meant and was offended. I was raised around majority boys in the neighborhood, until I started playing softball, some would consider me as a tomboy. So

Growing up in the south is usually a pretty peaceful event; it’s quiet and there’s never too much going on. As a child, I attended a small private school in Tennessee. My three best friends, Hannah, Zane and Chandler also went to the same school with me, and we were all in the same sunday school class. I spent my entire childhood with these three friends, and many of my fondest memories come from this period. When I was entering the sixth grade, my dad had to move to Virginia for his job, so my mom and I came with him. My parents bought a house in Chesapeake, and I began going to a public school for the first time. I expected a big difference, and I was worried that I was going to hate it there (picture the scene from Mean Girls where all the teenagers are acting
