Video Analysis: Lale Kin
I must start off by saying that the video was very interesting and eye opening. I have spent a number of years looking at movies and television shows that designed to depict the history and imgae of African-Americans after slavery however, this video allowed me to see a more intimate vision of this time periods. Lalee Kin is an African-American woman living in Tallachatcie, Mississippi as what to seems as a lower class citizen. However, at the beginning of the video she had received a grant from the government to purchase a trailer. Therefore, in comparison to her other citizen in her town she might be doing really well. In correlation to Lalee getting a new trailer she displayed a few moments of praise and showing honor to God. Indicting

    More Than Bows and Arrows

    Overall, I found this film very surprising. I never realized how many Native American achievements that have been overlooked in today’s society. Native Americans have done so much to affect the formation of today’s country that it is astonishing. They have made so many contributions that I had never realized prior to this film. I thought that some of the most important contributions were irrigation techniques and medical procedures. Religion also played a vital role in shaping America today. Native Americans literally were involved in the development of nearly all aspects of America including sports and food. This film is an important one because it shines light on the long forgotten Native Americans. They made contributions in architecture, fishing, schools, industry materials, and government to name a few. I enjoyed the film because it is a celebration of Native Americans cultural contributions. I never realized how much has been overlooked. The film is also effective in disproving countless stereotypes that depict the typical Native American as some sort of savage warrior who is illiterate and misinformed. This could not be more far from the truth and must be corrected. Most of these stereotypes have been shaped by Hollywood television. It’s important to eliminate these stereotypes of Native Americans. Today, I believe that when most people think of an Indian they think of a crazy half naked man screaming through the forest with bows and arrows. This is contrary to the truth that many Indian societies were incredibly civilized and organized. This occurred in many different ways many of which have been incorporated into American life today. In the end, this film was very effective in shining light upon the issue. I think it’s great that this video has become so widespread and I hope that this trend will continue. That way, more people can understand the issue at hand. I cannot believe that some individuals can be so naïve and that…

    Take Back The Schools Analysis

    The effect that was made in the students facing these problems in their schools was very terrifying, some of them were in a point of being embarrassed of their heritage. They were embarrassed of being Mexican Americans, and this was something that had to be changed. The rise up of the Chicano students to demand their district officials for equal education rights in their school, was a movement that made the Chicano voice strong not only at East LA but all over the country. This is one point everyone should be able to understand, the video gives us the struggles Mexican Americans were facing at the time, and how they became together to overcome this issue is an example of unity something that we need to do now a days to become stronger and make our voices heard as a…

    Forbidden Knowledge Video Analysis

    When building many of the castles in the 1300-1400’s the main purpose was to keep the enemies out and of course for conquest. In the video I watched, the Forbidden Knowledge video, they called out some very key point of why and how these fortresses and castles where erected and defended. Not only where there kings of the lands, but then each of those lands were divided up to noble kin and lords. They were always trying to better there futures with more land, even if that included killing your own cousin to get his piece of land. One great example of an intuitive fortress, Caesar had made a donut shaped fortress at one point around a small town; he shut out and was starving the people in the town and then also keeping out the men that were…

    Blackmon, Slavery By Another Name

    For example, Christina Comer, a decadent of J.W. Comer learned that her grandfather was a former slave owner, then a prison owner who bought African criminals, using them as cheap labor. In addition to all the other brutal ways he treated his workers. Christina was brought to tears, stating that she “didn’t leave the house for two days.” Another example was of the child of a man who lived around 1890, she was told of how her father was mistreated for believing that African Americans were just as good as anyone else. Her stories act as a good secondhand resource, and gives good emotional weight to the documentary’s…

    The Reconstruction: The Law Black Codes

    The Reconstruction video was very interesting. Slaves was very excited to be freed that some just walk off of plantations. But knowing that there was so many freed slaves Abraham Lincoln had to do something. With the freed blacks so comfortable with their forty acre and mule which was promise to them, they taught that would’ve been their life. But when President Johnson pardon the plantation owners and they could’ve get their land back it was an issue for the freed blacks. One problem was the law Black Codes that as passed which David Blight stated “the laws was passed to control, restrict, and constrain the lives of the free people. Especially rendering them bondsmen on the law.” This law was crazy to me that they wanted to put the…

    During this video, I became more and more frustrated. I have briefly understood what white privilege was growing up, but I had never heard it in this detail before. I could not believe that this was how this came about. I was shocked to find out that it started only briefly slavery came about. I thought that once the African Americans came here to the…

    Sarah Bartmaan Video Analysis

    The Sarah Bartmaan video today had some very shocking mistreatment of African Americans. I don’t understand how Europeans could justify their actions of treating another human being like that. Also to know that people still went to see her pickled remains for almost a century after her death showed that it was more than one person that contributed to this. People thought that African Americans were a different species and weren’t even human. We can also see this in our society today. I grew up outside the Bronx, and my school was mainly comprised of African American and Hispanic people. My cousins that lived just outside the city in the suburbs, went schools were the population was 90% white. It is almost like our races still keep us separate…

    African Americans In The Video, Without Sanctuary

    Most people believed that after emancipation, life became better for the blacks but their life became hell because there was racism, the freed slaves were beaten, lynched and had no place to run to for safety. I found out that the whites got in the way of reconstruction because of the violence they keep displaying. In the video, “Without Sanctuary”, reveals how the whites treats the blacks just because of their dark skin. I saw a lot of horrible things the black slaves experienced and I wonder how human beings can be so mean and yet they talk of problems experienced during reconstruction, they blame it on the blacks.…

    African Burial Ground

    I enjoyed the history that became of this; all the articles gave such great insight into the history of slavery in the colonies. I think that once the public was notified and the concerns were addressed this site was something that everyone could learn from. The article, “Bioarchaeology of the African Burial Ground” by Michael Blakey was interesting. I believe this particular article addressed the problems faced by the researchers from the African-American “descendant community” and their concern about whether or not research should be done, and the problem raised with false historic representations of African presence in the history of colonial New York. By allowing the public and descendants to become part of the project, it just showed how smoothly things could operate when handled with dignity.…

    Slavery In African America Essay

    Due to the inhumane treatment of slaves, slavery in America led to the permanent destruction of the African American race. Slavery not only made a physical impact on the slaves, but also a mental; people were taken away from their families, with thoughts of never seeing them again. It has been fifty-one years since slavery has ended, and still there are everyday occurrences involving racial remarks due to the color of one's skin and how they’re are seen in the eyes of one another. The United States has changed a lot over the past 50 years, for better and for worse, the effects of slavery have shunned the African American race and their chances of ever becoming equal throughout the country. The inconceivable amount of hatred that has been brought upon the African American race, from slavery is so problematic , that it still affects the growing population today.…

    Race-The Power Of An Illusion Essay

    When Jim crow laws were established, blacks were prohibited from selling products to Whites. This prevented black people from making profit, which automatically put them at a disadvantage due to low income. While the white community was getting all sorts of benefits such as homes, education, and loans, the African American community was hurting due to discrimination and racism. They were unable to escape poverty and were forced to work hazardous job for a very low pay. Although Jim crow laws were abolished, we still witness the long-term effects of segregation today. If we compare a white family to a black family today who work the same hours with same employment, there will be a significant difference in earnings. Due to these differences, African Americans are most likely to struggle with adequate access to health care, safe, sanitary, and decent housing, and educational attainment. These disadvantages sets people of color up for failure such as pregnancy at a young age, use of drugs, and leaving school in order to make a living to meet their needs. As the film states, it is only after we accept that racism does exist as well as white privileges, that we can…
