Peaches Henry Red Flag

Throughout the essay, written by Peaches Henry, Henry reviews a collection of salient points, one that point that seemed to emerge was, “The word nigger to colored people of high and low degree is like a red rag to a bull” (Henry 388). This quote shows the satire that Henry is trying to point out with using the bull and a red flag. By using this example of the bull and the flag shows how the people would react to the N-word. She tries to emphasize a problem that is recurring in society and possibly bring attention to it.
