Goodbye Uncle Tom and Abortion
Goodbye Uncle Tom’s treatment of black people back then was cruel and just sad to see. The whites mistreated millions of slaves and in the process, they’re mentality was changed. That broken mentality from then affects the young black generation today because they believe that they are not worth anything.
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.
In the movie, it showed women being raped and then tossed as if they were just animals. The men in that film abused the women to the point where they believed that they were nothing more than just tools for men to get their pleasure and nothing more. The ones that weren’t killed ended up having kids that only reminded them of the pain they had to endure which made them feel worse. The mentality that they are just tools for men to get pleasure ended up being passed down to black females today as well. Some of them only feel valued when they dress a certain type of way to obtain a guys attention and affection.
The abortion rate for African Americans has gone up drastically as well. More and more young black women are getting abortions because they don’t want to raise a child on their own. With the rise in black on black violence more black
