Back in Black

If we think of Slavery we think of it as an event in our history that degrading blacks, and only blacks. We, at least I don’t think of it as effecting whites, but if we look at the two authors Baldwin and Coats we see slavery and racism can be viewed on a whole different level. Blocking out stereotypes Coates and Baldwin give us an inside look on what it was actually like like to own or to be a slave. Baldwin, talks about the effects of slavery on a micro level, and talks about how it affects

Imagine being in the shoes of an Innocent black man being accused of rape back in Alabama in the 1930’s, think of how difficult and hard times were back then especially in that situation. Throughout the 1900’s people were looked at judged and divided between two ethnicities and skin colors which were black and whites. Throughout the course of the Novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee we meet a black character by the name of Tom Robinson who was denied justice and equal rights due to common

restaurant, and then the manager of the restaurant, who is that much higher on the spectrum than the man cleaning the restroom. It is a very similar set up between then and now, only now is just the man cleaning the restroom is getting paid. This all ties back to the system not only America, but the world lives and have always lived in. One can just hope that people finally see the signs and realize that this system is not good. It is a selfish system because no feelings are involved. This system is molded

believe that high concentration of low-income Black people living together will consume the cities’ economy, crime rate would increase, and the property value would lose its value. While stereotype about Black spread rapidly among white within communities, the fear and panic spread and the exodus starts.

death just because he was black and got accused of a crime he didn't commit. That same man was gunned down by a guard. But America has come a long way since the times back then, but it still has its racial problems. First, children are known to taunt one another because they are young and their brains are not fully developed. Back in the 1930s the only way that children could form their opinions on things is through what their parents tell them. Because this book was set back in the 1930s, most of the

reality that Black people are abused, underrepresented and economically excluded from the society in America due to the history of chattel slavery, speaks volumes. American slavery began in 1619 and all the way through the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865 African people were brutally tortured, forcefully placed in contention, sold, and raped.

would be dangerous to give that power to a teacher of middle school or high school level students. He feels the book would ruin any chance of a student/ teacher bond between a black student and his/her teacher. The book is racist and promotes a belief that black people are dishonest, dumb, and viewed less than human. The black student carries a burden no white student could ever understand. It is harmful to their self-esteem and violates their constitutional rights. The book uses the word “nigger”

In “Black Skin, White Masks”, Fanon states, “A black man behaves differently with a white man than he does with another black man” (Fanon, 1952). I agree that this is true not only for black men, but for women as well. Many people do this all of the time. Some people might do this without even realizing what they are doing.

could bring the supplies in. The man in black used this opportunity to quickly open the door of the rig and closed it as if there was a baby on the other side. The man then slowly tiptoed with his feet slowly sinking into the sand as he silently worked his way to the post office next door to the shop.
