    One name hasn’t represented so much, to so many people, since biblical times. Michael Jordan, a man who grew up in a nation divided, a nation struggling, was not as deeply effected as other blacks in the United States were. He excelled in baseball as well as basketball, a sport that was on the ropes, losing money as well as support more rapidly than ever at the professional level. This did not stop him however. Michael, who wasn’t highly recruited, went to the University of North Carolina. He took a Dean Smith system to heights it had never seen before. This was a team that had been close to winning an NCAA championship, but never could finish the job. Jordan changed that, leading the Tar Heels to the 1982 NCAA championship and winning it for them in the final seconds. This was only Jordan’s freshman year at UNC, and he was already grabbing national attention. Although this was arguably the highest accolade Jordan would accomplish during his 3-year NCAA career, when he turned pro it was a completely different story.…

    Great post! Your honesty and passion for UNC Asheville definitely shines through. The challenge to define a brand strategy for a university and its athletic department can easily become a conflict of interest. Collaboration to develop a brand that signifies academics and athletics can be accomplished if stakeholders are willing to come together with an open mind. How does an institution create a brand that is suitable for the overall student-body, including athletics? The answer may be a brand system that consists of a few logos, with a universal tagline, that illustrates passion for academics and athletics. We have experienced a similar situation with the rebranding of the men’s basketball championship. Incorporating tournament rounds,…

    Popular phrases such as, “the Blacker the Berry, the Sweeter the juice,” and “If it’s White, it’s gotta be right,” have held opposing views in the African American community on the concept of skin complexion. This idea of a “Color Complex” has psychologically altered the way many African Americans perceive beauty, success, and their personal identity. Although some would disagree, there seems to be a strong connection between skin color and social status in the African American community. It may appear that African Americans are dispelling this theory of “light-skinned and dark skinned” to become a more cohesive group, but the politics of skin color and features still remain. Skin color variations among African Americans play a major role in how they perceive beauty standards, social status and themselves.…

Additionally, according to, “Performing Civic Identity: The Iconic Photograph of the Flag Raising on Iwo Jima” by Robert Hariman and John Louis Lucaites, “Iconic images are widely recognized as representations of significant historical events, activate strong emotional response, and are reproduced across a range of media, genres or topics” (363).

    One topic from our reading that directly relates to this books theme is brand community. A brand community is consumers who share a set of social relationships based upon usage or interest in a product. This is what these organizations that Twitchell describes are trying to do by marketing their brand. For example I hear all the time our athletic director talking about Northwestern being a brand that you will carry for the rest of your life. Jim Phillips often says “the “N” never washes off.

    I think people stereotyping is what brings problems to our everyday life. Like the black lives matter movement to me is her because of stereotyping like racial profiling an individual making it seem like that person is a suspect of crime from the way they look. Many have lost their lives from being stereotyped and many innocent people have gone to jail or prison for stereotype. It is wrong to categorize someone in a group and then accuse them of wrong doing. It isn’t only African Americans being stereotype but women, Asians, Arabs, and Hispanics are as well any minority can fall under the bracket of stereotype. If you are Arab you can be look at as a terrorist. Asians can get confused by others of being Chinese. Hispanics can be stereotype by being known of a gang member…

    Most of us have had the dream at some point in our life. That dream of draining a last-second three pointer to win an NBA championship, or hit a home run to win a World Series. This is a dream that every human should be able to chase. Unfortunately, until recently some people were not able to turn this dream into reality simply because of the color of their skin. Racism cause widespread hatred throughout the entire sports community and the entire world as a whole. Through bravery, persistence, and determination, several African-American individuals and teams have knocked down the wall of racism in sports, and paved the way for African Americans to pursue their dreams of playing collegiate and professional sports.

    Racial disparities among African Americans aren’t the only problematic race in America. Latinos are also runner up in racial problems. US health racial disparities have been neglected despite the fact that Latino communities range from mixes of all different other races. This researched compared the mortality rate among Latin Americans and other races in the United States. Most Latin Americans are immigrants, so they are unable to receive the best health benefits if even any at all. Most of the disparity has come from mostly birth problems (i.e. low birth weight, maternal infections, and smoking.)Just like the Black race, “weathering” has been a high risk for Latinos. Psychological and environmental stressors cause a high risk of health problems.…

    Identity has been a major concern of African and African American authors from the beginning. In fact African American identity underwent drastic transformations between the eighteenth century and twentieth century. As Amistad, "Federalist No. 54", The New Negro and The Souls of Black Folks shows, African American identity has shifted from an early tribal identity, to a dehumanized identity based in slavery, and finally to a ‘new' type of Negro identity based in art and African origins. These transformations of identity have been a tremendous struggle that were produced by their exploitation by white America.…
