Black No More Short Response
Short explanation - My professor wants me to "deeply" focus on one or two central ideas in this short response paper. It is over a book we are reading and he does not really want your opinion in it. I cannot tell if I did an okay job or not?

Response Paper #1 Does the “Black No More” treatment really impact your life in a positive way? The white community is still not welcoming people who went through this process, so would that cause more stress in your life instead of fixing all your problems that you thought it would help fix? You may be white now, but are you really white at heart? Apparently, the negro society was in turmoil and chaos. The people who underwent this treatment were no longer in affiliations that they use to be in such

    World War 2 Dbq Analysis

    For them, it was like nothing had really changed. The Great Migration that began during World War 1, continued as African Americans moved to northern cities to find jobs. But in most cases however, they still received lower pay than white workers. They also were restricted in the jobs that they were hired to work in. The Tuskegee Airman which were African American pilots who trained at the Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama had still faced segregation. They were hassled and treated unfairly by their generals. But by the accomplishments of the Tuskegee Airman, they had the opportunity of showing that black people could do technical and courageous things and could do them as well as or better than white…

    Also, you did a great work relating the quotes with the explanation you offered. You did the same in your second and third paragraph, connected your ideas with the author’s ideas, explained and exemplified using quotes from the text. Your explanation on the analysis of the rhetorical choices is well-done, however you did not connect it back to the author’s purpose. Try to explain how the chosen rhetorical choice is effective in helping the author reach his audience and purpose. Additionally, I would suggest you to explain how the author’s rhetorical strategy works; it would definitely make your analysis more complete.…

    Summary: The New Jim Crow

    I must say that I may have been completely wrong about the state of diversity in our country. I have worked in public service for literally my entire working life (30 years) and in public safety for all of it. I have worked in inner city areas and subsidized housing plans. But my opinion has been similar to that of most white Americans; that people of color do not want a hand up, they want a hand out. Not to be derogatory but that’s what I concluded based on what I experienced. That minorities, especially African-Americans, were using their race and situation to justify their poor choices. After reading The New Jim Crow, by Michelle…

    Goodbye Uncle Tom and Abortion

    The African American generation of today is in extreme distress, they kill each other more and more everyday with very little remorse. They kill each other because they don’t value life and some of them are too young to realize that not only did they take someone’s life, but they also destroyed their own. The murder rates of blacks in the United States are higher now than they were 25 years ago. More young black Americans die from homicide today in America than those of whites. More young black males are being imprisoned due to the rising violence in the black community leaving their women to raise the kids on their own. Black females have been affected more in a psychoanalytic and sociocultural perspective because of how black women were treated in the past.…

    the miseducation of the negro

    In the book “The Mis-Education of The Negro”, Carter G. Woodson discussed the only way he feels socialization can be promoted in today’s society. Woodson discusses how we were taught as African Americans to think of ourselves. We were taught to think of ourselves as people without any background, no culture or foundation so we feel we have no type of self worth. He talks about race superiority. Leading back to the days of slavery, the white race was privileged over the African American race. African Americans can never be reprimanded for the days of slavery no matter how much it is tried to. It is not to say the white race did not have its trials and tribulations but what happened years ago still affects us today.…

    African Americans After Reconstruction Essay

    Post Reconstruction was supposed to be a time of change for the world, especially for African Americans. Although post Reconstruction was believed to eliminate segregation and racial discrimination, many people noticed that there was actually little to no change that occurred. Luckily, slavery was part of the past and many great leaders including Abraham Lincoln had set out to change America in terms of equality. Unfortunately, post Reconstruction proved that nothing had changed for African Americans who remained struggling with racial issues that ultimately restricted their freedom.…

    Analysis Of Mary Louise Pratt's Arts Of The Contact Zone

    Growing up in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, one would notice that the two dominant races that occupied the city were the blacks and the whites. Being a part of the black community, I had always thought it was a very close knit one. In elementary school, all my friends were black, I wanted to marry a black man, and have black kids. I talked black, acted black, even dressed black. I didn’t have a problem with white people, I just figured that I had nothing in common with them. I was raised one way, and they were raised another. I spoke one way, and they spoke completely different. Being black has always been important to me because I saw us…
