30 Rock Episode 6: Someone To Love
Contain/Condone/Contradict I was hired to review the show 30 Rock episode 6 “Someone to Love” from season 2. Using the contain/condone/contradict system, there were two possible offensive ideas in this idea. There is one that would offend the politically correct and the other, the moral majority. There is an instance of racism which is problematic to the politically correct and an affair between liberal and conservative politicians, which is problematic to the moral majority. Using this new system of rating, I will explain how each idea is either condoned, contradicted, or is just merely contained in the show. First, the racism that occurs in the show is actually contradicted in the show, which thereby shows no desire to think these ideas

    Last Chance for Eden

    Throughout this entire documentary each person expresses how they feel or their experience but some admit that cannot do that in public. I notice that even though we are in the 21st century people like to believe there is equality. But when asked to someone of color they openly comment there is not such thing. Ignorance is probably in those who say “There is no racism in the United States.” Shockingly, it obviously still exist but not many will admit to it. People are open to talk about race, however some tend to feel a little uncomfortable and refuse to go deeper into discussion for fear of saying the wrong thing. Someone in the documentary had stated “People will talk about race; but not racism.” Which is pretty much true. I feel as if someone were to bring up the topic 'race' it is easily discussed but then when asked about racism 'racism' that is when the room becomes quiet and feel as if they cannot really fully express their own opinion about racism for fear of being in a conflict of a sort. However those who participated in this discussion in the documentary they obviously did not hold back and fully explained what it is really like to be a person of color. The others who are 'white Americans' feel as if they cannot really see the racism or think the other participants who are from a different background are treated just as they are; normal Americans. However they fail to see the reality of it; one man stated “People want to hear what it's like to be black and male, and I tell them. Then they go 'Well, I was poor too. I got stopped by the Cops.' What purpose does it serve to bring that up? It makes me feel like I'm being told to just shut the fuck up and get on with your life. That's the way it feels." They like to think everybody experiences the…

    In Jordan Peele’s movie Get Out the main characters Chris visits his girlfriends parents for a weekend. On his weekend get away Chris encounters a number of questionable interactions with his significant others family that generated a sense of reasonable doubt that they were racist on some level.

Dickerson explains that people create a hierarchy of power which is based on race and the way people perceive one race to another. The connection…

    Essay On Shonda Rhimes

    As explained by comedian Dave Chappelle in the quote above, in order to achieve progress in matters like race, it has to be openly addressed, especially by mass media. And this is where Shonda Rhimes has failed with television. Undoubtedly, she has created space for ethically flexible and multifaceted female characters in network television through shows that challenge audiences – something rare outside of cable nowadays. Her protagonists – two of them black – are successful women, which demonstrates she is willing to defy common notions of race and, especially, gender. Nevertheless, in all her shows, Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder, race is never a part of the dramatic situations that drive the characters’ narratives.…
