Death Sentence White Man
661 wordsMy name is Jack Moloch and I'm a friend of Mr. Max. I've come in contact with Mr. Max's client, Bigger Thomas, and I saw his case. From the stories of Mr. Max I don't think that it's fair to Bigger to get the death sentence. It is obviously society's fault that he did what he did. I truly don't think that Bigger is a bad guy; he's not a nice guy either. He's just a normal black person, who lives in poverty because, among other things, the white man (Mary's father) over-charges him on the rent. A...

1,498 wordsBOOK REPORT Why We Cant Wait, by Luther King, Jr. WHY WE CANT WAIT Martin Luther King, Jr. I was reluctant to read this book that was originally assigned as a part of my African American Studies, but I am very glad that I did.

As I saw it, slavery happened ...

Whatever Lincoln's personal convictions on slavery were, as a politician his job was to serve the American people who he represented. With this in mind, one must remember the attitudes of the American people at that time. On the surface they appeared to be divided between slave holders, abolitionists, and those who opposed th...

Women And Men Skinned Blacks
1,889 wordsMiscongention during slavery is the root of the color complex. Historically if one were to trace the origin of the color complex one would have to begin at slavery. Europeans felt that Africans would be the ideal slaves because they did not know the American land and if they were to try to escape they could not remain hidden because their skin would help sought them out. With this in mind the Europeans voyaged to Africa in search of these ideal indentured servants to service their plantations an...

Black And White Personality Types
477 wordsIs you is or is you aint black? This is a question that many African Americans may have asked or be asking themselves. Because the black image is distorted in the media, and the culture in general, to look and be only a certain way, anything that differs from this central theme of being black is seen as awkward. This is most likely how the self-imposed stereotype of acting white has come along. It can be clearly seen that it would be quite difficult to act white because people of Caucasian desce...
