In the late 1960s, Nathan McCall was a smart young African-American living in an all black neighborhood called Manor Cavalier, located in Portsmouth, Virginia. McCall was one of the five young children being raised by his mother and stepfather. First of all, he had two older brothers named Dwight, and then there was Billy, followed by McCall himself, a younger brother Bryan Keith and eventually a stepbrother named Junnie. In a family there is always that person that loves to absorb knowledge; that person was Nathan the one that enjoyed school and books. However, being surrounded by bad influences, living in a bad neighborhood and not to mention living in a time of racism affected his motivation to succeed in the future. The purpose of this essay is that it will demonstrate that someone being labeled as something they are not will affect that person’s future life. Using the labeling theory, the paper will explain that being insulted, humiliated and treated less than a person can lead a youngster to become an aggressive and careless child. Therefore, strategies that will help these youngsters to overcome these racial abuses and false libeling’s are by giving equal opportunities and treatments to anyone, no mater of their past mistakes when they simply want to adjust back to society.

Taylor suffered serious emotional distress, part of which was fear for his and Mya’s life which led them to fleeing their home state of Massachusetts as a result of Murray’s continuous intimidations during four months. The issue in this case is whether Taylor has a claim against Murray for the intentional or reckless infliction of emotional distress. Under Massachusetts law, the court will likely conclude that Taylor has a claim against Murray for his conduct toward Taylor because (1) Murray intentionally inflicted emotional distress to Taylor; (2) Murray’s conduct was extreme and outrageous; (3) Murray’s conduct directly caused Taylor’s emotional distress; and (4) Taylor’s emotional distress was severe. See Agis v. Howard Johnson Co., 371 Mass. 140, 144-45 (Mass. 1976); Quinn v. Walsh, 49 Mass. App. Ct. 696, 706-07 (Mass. App. Ct. 2000); Cady v. Marcella, 49 Mass. App. Ct. 334, 340-41, (Mass.

My grandad, Cecil J. Riley Sr. was born on Sept. 6, 1921 in Auburn, Alabama (Cecil J. Riley Sr., 2004). Grandad served in the U.S. Army during WW2, it is unknown where exactly he was stationed (Cecil J. Riley Sr., 2004). In his later years, he moved to Oneida, New York where he owned and operated his own dry cleaning business, Riley 's Esquire Dry Cleaning (Cecil J. Riley Sr., 2004). Having business in several locations: Canastota, Oneida, Syracuse, Utica and Morrisville, New York, my grandad was a successful businessman (Cecil J. Riley Sr., 2004). Given his social location this was a remarkable achievement. Unfortunately not everyone saw this as a remarkable achievement, and during the 70s many people in the local areas tried to protest against Grandad’s business. Grandad was Irish and Seminole Indian, however, on most documents that I’ve seen he was categorized as Negro. This is due to the fact that until 1960 the census wouldn’t allow people could select their own race (Elafros, A.). Prior to that, an individual’s race was determined by census takers (Elafros, A). If my grandad’s race was perceived to be African American, I can only imagine what other kinds of discrimination he faced. Regardless of his Irish roots, Grandad fell on the subordinate side of the traditional color line. People only saw his skin color and sadly enough that was their excuse as to why they were protesting against his business. In the book, The Black Experience in America, Norman Coombs paints a
