Who Is Wailing For Freedom?
The true purpose of Wailers is wailing for the freedom using the black cultural music that have been lost in 1945-1981. The music is to show who they are and their identity and motivate people to stand up and fight for your right because you deserve it. Make the noise that everyone can hear you there is nothing to get scared. Even though wailers are treated differently in the society because who they are according to their race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation. “Call me by my real name” something “sassy” and “dukish” in other words respect me for who I am, don’t judge me don’t negate me because I will be wailing for my right and freedom no matter what I will not stop. Therefore, “Wailers” and he is proud of it, claiming “Yeh, Wailers.

    Recitatif Brent Staples

    Through Toni Morrison’s short story “Recitatif” and Brent Staples’ essay “Black Men and Public Spaces”, we see the similar topics of nonverbal communication and stereotypes. Through his use of a cowbell metaphor, and her use of handshake imagery Staples and Morrison explore the theme that nonverbal communication and stereotypes can affect how people act and are viewed in society. After living in New York for a few years, Staples learned to take precautions, so as not to seem threatening. He would leave a wide gap between himself and walking New Yorkers, or he would whistle. His reasoning for this was that “Virtually everybody seems to sense that a mugger wouldn’t be warbling bright, sunny selections from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. It is my equivalent of the…

    Essay on ”Race, Class, Violence and Denial: Mass Murder and the Pathologies of Privilege” by Tim Wise

    He wants us to take responsibility and stop excluding some parts of society from the “danger-zone” just because they look bucolic and normal on the outside and almost in the form of a provocative scolding he explains what damages these ‘white lies’ can do - not only to people of color, but to white people as well.…

    Countee Cullen's poem "From The Dark Tower".

    would be an example of such. It seems as though the speaker is standing up for a particular group of people who have been mistreated and/or taken advantage of in some kind of way. Whether it was socially, economically, or politically. Taking the time frame that this piece was written in into consideration, I can only think that this selected group must have been Black people. The stanza that solidified this thought that this poem was in reference so Black people for me was:…

    Freedom In Yi Munyol's Our Twisted Hero

    After countless losses in a battle for freedom to the point where the cost of submission to an oppressive regime is a bargain compared to persistence, one is likely to overlook their moral compass and surrender. One justification of giving in to an oppressive regime is the social interaction factor: by rejecting a power that others have embraced, one will be considered an outsider and shunned. This internal battle between the want for freedom and the want to fit in appears in Yi Munyol’s Our Twisted Hero through Han Pyongt’ae’s life after moving from Seoul. At first, Pyongt’ae despises of Om Sokdae, the classroom monitor that exercises tyrannical control over his classmates under the blind trust of the teacher, and rejects his rule. However,…

    Revolutionary War Patriots

    Prior to the Revolutionary War, many American Colonists dealt with a conflicting issue of whether to remain loyal to the crown or join the Patriots in their fight for Independence. The colonists, most in the North, were taking the side of the patriots while others were not. The question was whether the colonists were being pragmatic or were they just being anti-liberty if they weren’t choosing a side. It is important to determine the reasoning behind why they would remain loyal or join the Patriot cause. Unaware of the eventual outcome of breaking away from the British government and if a war were to break out, colonists were afraid of opposing the British government. How would the new government be formed, would the new government be able…

    Daughters of the American Revolution

    As a daughter of the American Revolution, I believe dependability, service, leadership and patriotism are essential to being a good citizen. These words describe how it is important to focus on deeds that are larger than us. To me, there is more to life than worrying about how I look and how popular I am. These qualities reassure that I go out of my way for others who need it. Not everyone can stand up for themselves; I recognize when a situation is wrong and understand it is my duty to advocate for these people. By doing this, I put others before myself by demonstrating the care for others rather than what people think about me.…

    Let's Stand Up for Liberty

    Who is Robyn Blumner? Perhaps she is simply your everyday editorialist for a daily newspaper. Or, as the former executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida (ACLU), could she possibly have her own agenda? One of Blumner's columns entitled "Let's stand up for liberty" was published in a well known editorial writers magazine called "The Masthead". In summary, it focuses on freedom of speech, and how we tend to lose sight of it, or even have it taken from us during national hardships. She feels that the government tends to deny us of these freedoms when we need them the most, during war. Blumner sturdily supports her claims throughout the course of her column. However, does the fact that she was once affiliated with the ACLU alter her credibility?…

    Rebel Without a Cause

    1955 marked the year in which Nicholas Ray's film Rebel Without a Cause was released as the latest Hollywood success. With its revolutionary acting and modern style, Rebel Without a Cause proved to be an ideal example of progressive, contemporary cinema. Amidst these factors is the intricate screenplay regarding a rebellious adolescent and his troubled relationships with his family and new found friends. Unfortunately, this was a film that was produced in the mid-1950s, a time when the self-censorship board in the U.S. did not permit certain political and societal issues to be addressed in films. As a result, various controversial matters could only be suggested or implied, opposed to directly dealt with. One such issue that Rebel Without a Cause subtly portrays, is the subject of gender politics and sexuality, a theme seldom encountered in preceding films. One scene in the film appears to discretely address the theme of sexuality in particular. In this scene, Plato reveals the contents of his school locker as he transitions between classes. The manner in which the scene is constructed and presented, manages to convey Plato's failure to meet society's expectations as he struggles with his blossoming homosexuality.…

    Voices of Freedom

    After reading the passage An Affluent Society, 1953-1960 (“What Freedom Means to Us”) in chapter 24, the most general analytic observation that I made was simply that the tone portrayed in the reading was cold and dry. I observed that it carried no real emotion, merely explaining what real life is in America. The problem is that this passage is Richard M. Nixon’s voice and perspective. Mind you that our 37th president served during 1969-1974 a time when the inequality of race, color, creed was still a progressing issue, and also a time when we were involved in war. The point is the opinion on freedom is biased and flawful. For example it starts out with illustrating for the reader the advancements of America. The amount of cars, houses, television sets, radios, clothing we have, which in my opinion is figuratively stating that these are the most important things to “us”. Subsequently creating this idea that America are in fact these superficial materials. That these things symbolize the life we live. Which in fact only a very small portion of America does live this life. But because Nixon later goes on to describe/inform the reader on a few freedoms that “us” have. Which is what I find interesting about the speech is that this freedoms are listed toward the end of his speech, and two that only basic of freedoms are presented. Which I feel are freedoms that by justice moral humanity should be an unspoken law. So then here comes the question, what are Nixon’s beliefs on freedom as a whole society, including everyone that’s apart of America. Who is the “us” he’s referring too? What is real freedom? Our country was founded on hardworking individuals of all races, colors, creeds etc. on the idea that we as a whole would progress and conquer but only for the better good of our society to live in peace. I write that to only illustrate the observation that I made of what Nixon was addressing in his speech. Which was an idea about what freedom was for a wealthy,…
