Personal Narrative: The Segregation Of Black Americans
Many more cops still at this moment killing black American. This case with the cell phone footage was overwhelming incriminated. The time the District Attorney took to prosecuted and sentence the officer it said more about police brutality. I can stop thinking how many more events like this happen and never we knew. Ohman and Cohen saw the sensitive and mistrust that our country. In both work you can see the we are in process of loss the humanity and respect for other human being. Not matter what color the person is, discrimination is live and is around us. But what can we do when is the person that we need to trust or ask for help, the person who said an oath to serve and protect. The segregation of blacks in America is being going on since

    Kaernick's Research On The National Anthem

    We faced for the last couple years. What makes its sad is that the cops who are killing these innocent people aren’t receiving any real punishment. Just recently we lost another member of our black family, Terrence Crutcher. The situation with Crutcher is just insane. All Crutcher did was call for assistance because his vehicle had stalled and he was killed as a result. The Crutcher incident was a prime example when Kaepernick said police and America as a whole quote “oppressed” black people. For Kaepernick to be called dumb and crazy for speaking on something that is actually happening in America today is…

    I am outside today with a couple other S.S. Soldiers we saw a Jewish man who had some weird curls so we decided to stop him and surround him and make fun of his hair and outfit. Many of the S.S. Soldiers have taken over homes of the Jews. Also today is the last day for all the Jews to move into the ghetto. While the Jews are walking to the ghetto some kids are standing on the sidewalk while screaming and throwing things at them one girl was even screaming “Goodbye Jews.” Once the Jews got into the Ghetto many of us were sitting or standing in the snow giving all the Jews their cards.…

    'A Tale Of Segregation'

    Since slaves were freed, to the 1960's, African Americans were segregated from white Americans. William and his father is one of the many examples of this. Using the passage, "A Tale of Segregation", William and his father had to wait their turn behind the white Americans for water. When it was finally their turn, white Americans told William and his father that they were going to stay and wait behind them for their turn until all the good white men were done. While waiting in line again, William's father says that "This was ab act of real hatred and prejudice", because at the time, whites and blacks were as formerly said segregated, but one did not have to give up his free will just because that's what the white folks said. I found my information…

    Personal Narrative: My African American/Indian Culture

    That’s interesting you’ve mentioned not to attend the hospital and funeral for your grandmother. In my African American/Indian culture if a woman is pregnant she’s prohibited to attend anywhere the death angel may currently be around, and funerals are definitely off limits. My family used to say when a life is taken a new life is born and I don’t know if the pregnant thing was an old superstation by forbidden spirit in my family as well because they believed the death angel comes to take a life in three; therefore it permits the baby a chance at life. Nowadays, there’s wills and other things in place to carry out a person’s wishes. I believe she told you because she knew she could trust you to carry out her last wishes amongst the family accordingly.…

    Personal Narrative: A Strong Black Family

    From an early age, I admired The Cosby show because it was the first show that I saw on television that reminded me of my family. At the age of ten, what I once knew as the a strong black family was torn through the finalization of my parent's divorce One time when I persisted through a challenge and what encouraged or motivated you to carry on was when my mother got a divorce. When my mother and my father had divorced I had felt like the end of me. It felt like I would never have the perfect family or the perfect life that I had dreamed of. I felt lost and alone. My mother was strong for the both of us. She comforted me when I was sad or felt like I couldn't continue with life. She is the best mother I could ever ask for. My mother taught…

    At the public swimming pool, it was hard enough just trying to make sure that the water had the right type of chemicals in it. When I saw my new coworkers I went up to them with open arms and a big smile, but I soon learned that I was not welcomed. I tried some ice breakers but it just seemed to make everything worse. I tried to not believe that it was a race issue because I was the only black person surrounded by white people. It was until another white coworker showed up and they greeted him like he just came home from war. I suddenly moved myself to the other side of the pool and watched.…

    Personal Narrative: From Here To South Carolina

    There is no doubt that South Carolina is one of the few states making progress down south but to fulfill my wants/needs I needed to move here to New York. After months of contemplating I realized that for a chance to be treated as everyone else that I would need to make this change, I needed the money that work would bring, a chance to showcase my talents and living conditions near the plantation were harsh and unfair. I feel that this was the best decision to make at this point in time. Times are changing and we deserve to be, act and live better.…

    Personal Narrative: The Black Lives Matter Movement

    Growing up I was the most naive child around. I thought the world was full of sunshine and rainbows and that everyone was nice to one another. My parents raised me to remember the three b’s: be nice, be respectful and behave. They told me I could be whatever I wanted to be and I believed that for a very long time until I hit middle school. I didn't know I was different. I didn't see a difference between myself and the other kids but in fact, I am a minority. I didn't know that race was a thing until we took one month out of the nine in which school was in session and learned about slavery. That's when I was introduced to the word that haunted my ancestors and will eventually haunt me. The word was a product of hatred that white people made to boost their…

    Personal Narrative: The Fight For Civil Rights

    It was August 28, 1963. Mom was yelling and holding up her “Martin Luther King, a liar, a troublemaker” sign. Next to her were my brother and my dad, they just mumbled and cursed. While everyone cheered and jumped for joy when Dr. King uttered the words, “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood”, it was like my whole family rolled their eyes simultaneously. All but me, I was the only one who thought that every man should have equal rights regardless of their race, beliefs, gender (etc…). I sided with the rest of the people at the Lincoln Memorial who believed in equal rights.…

    Mass Shootings: Mass Shootings In The United States

    If there are some this year especially the ones that involve a cop making a horrible decision like some of the incidents last year, I hope the media doesn’t give them all the attention. I believe all the attention that the media gives them blows things out of the water and that is when people start rioting. I also believe when those people were rioting in Ferguson, Missouri even though it is probably a hard thing not to broadcast all over the news simply because that is what most those people are rioting for is to seek the most attention that they can get. The two that I saw were the one where the officer was next to the window of the car that he pulled over. The passenger was a black male and the driver was a black female. When the officer asked if they had any weapons on them the man said yes. He never made a move toward his gun however the officer got a little worried an panicked and shot the man two time in the chest. What I think he should have done was once the man said that he had a gun he should have asked the man to step out informing him that he was not under arrest and that he just doesn’t want anything bad to happen to the both of them. As soon as the man gets out of the car he should have pat him down and got the gun off of him. That way he continue to go about his job without having to worry about the man pulling the gun out on him. The officer ended up getting charge with Manslaughter as which he should have because I don’t believe he handled that situation very well. Philando Castile had a pretty clean record as he worked for the Saint Paul Public School District. However, this was not a case that could have been characterized by white vs black because the officer that shot Philando Castile was Mexican…
