    Oppressed Black Women Summary

    Terri, as a black male I felt so uncomfortable in my gut reading how black men have oppressed black females. Some of the reading was so difficult emotionally to read I felt a little sick to my stomach. The reading describing what happened on slave ships to children angered me to point of wanting to ask God why was this necessary. I began to wish I could go back in time and "wipe out" every slave owner and crew prior to picking up the first slave.…

    African-American Girl Observation

    On Monday, October 10th at 12:00 pm, I observed a one year old African- American girl. Upon entering the house I proceeded with my observation on D while she was running around the house naked, fighting her mother because she wanted to dress herself. When she was finally dressed, she made her way to the living room, I introduced myself to her and she waved back to me. I noticed that whenever D’s sister gets home from school, she would complete her homework, then grab a book while she sit on the sofa and begins to read. D climbed the sofa and sat right next to her while she read a book call “Green Eggs and Ham” by Dr. Seuss.…

    Junot Diaz's How To Date A White Girl

    Mixed signals. We get them everyday and from everyone, it is probably the most annoying issue that occurs in relationships. Why must people speak in this indecipherable code? Walking around expecting everyone to be able to understand the meaning of what they are communicating or even worse, what they are not communicating. I believe Junot Diaz, makes a good point of this in his short story "How to Date a Brown Girl (Black Girl, White Girl, or Halfie)". The main character has a precise way of treating every girl dependent upon what her race is. However, I question why, aside from the simplistic answers, such as maybe he's a misogynist or a racist boy. Diaz writes this particular story the way that he does, by placing the reader directly in the shoes of the protagonist, doing so gives insight into the possible conflict this…

    Ambiguity In Little White Lie

    Rebecca’s mother was a Genealogist and dug around in her ancestry. In her search, she had difficulty tracking their ancestry because of the concept of passing. However, despite the difficulty, it became known that Rebeca does in fact contain Native American blood. This presentation of new news sort of changed her perspective about herself; she felt boundaries for the Native American side of her. Her thoughts were: “am I allowed to do this because I look and act and was born into a different way.”(Campbell) Despite her uncertainty and the fact that it was unknown most of her life she understood the concept of why her family, or anyone, would want to pass for white, “For me, it makes so much sense,” Rebecca explained. She had made it clear that if you were a race other than white, at the time of her ancestors, you would obviously want the same life for yourself as most white folks had, just because they were born into it. Her family desired a better life for themselves, therefore, they began passing for white and in result connected Rebecca Campbell to a side of her she never…

    Issa Rae has always been an awkward girl; she’s always worn the wrong pants, kissed the wrong boy, and felt the wrong way, or simply been the wrong girl. The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl is a dazzling collection of essay about growing up learning to love the things in your life that makes it unique, even when those things also make it mighty awkward.

    What Its Like to Be a Black Girl

    Everyone has an opinion of whether something is right or wrong. While one might think that something is wrong the other might think that it’s right. Lenn E. Goodman argued that certain things like slavery, polygamy, incest and rape are just plain wrong. “What I want to do here is single out a few areas where I think human deserts are irrefragable-not because these deserts are never questioned or breached in practice, but because they never should be (Goodman, 2010).”…

    She calls upon the of a number of maids who works for her friends; Aibileen, Minny and Pascagoula in order to make her book a real like interpretation of the struggles they face on a daily bases. Jackson has a community that seems to be very racist and oblivious and close minded towards change and fait treatment towards citizens that reside there. The community seemingly split in two divided over an adequate racial line that has been passed down from generations to generations. Stern guidelines and regulations are put in place in order to separate the blacks and white. The writer gives us a glimpse of the Mississippian world back in the day and how maids were treated and the amount of racism and hatred that occurred in Jackson Mississippi. White Mississippians had been brought up and through social conditioning they had a mentality that prevented them to change their views and allow blacks to live the same luxury they had. Whites had more freedom blacks had, they allowed their communities to grow and flourish whereas blacks’ community became congested and overcrowded due to the restrictions preventing their community to grow “Jackson is just one white neighbourhood after the next” and “the coloured part of town be one big…
