Life in America is bullshit. Don’t let anyone ever tell you different. There’s no "happily ever after’s." No "fairytale endings." None of that shit. Life is real that’s for damn sure. And when it hits you, it knocks the fuck out of you. In America the working man is the weak. The man who will work a 12 hour shift then go to his next job for 6 is the doubted one. Not the man whom will do anything to keep his wealth no, the one who is simply trying to earn a living. The government will lie to you. Anything to hide those not so noble deeds. They will spy on you. During these times you don’t even know who is doing it. Who or what is the NSA? Well only god knows that, and the president. They will tap your computer, social media, and phone. Shoot anything they can use against you. Whatever happened to freedom? Or even to privacy? There’s nothing like that anymore. This shit is real!
A man by the name of Tupac Shakur once said. "They got money for wars but can feed the poor." (Referencing the Government) This quote by far, is beyond powerful.“How could Reagan live in a White House, which has thousands of rooms,and there be homelessness? And he's talking about helping. I don't believe that there is anyone that is going hungry in America simply by reason of denial or lack of ability to feed them. It is by people not knowing where or how to get this help. Why can't he take people off the street and put them in his White House? Then he'll have people from the streets to help him with his ideas. Not helpless! Homeless! Not helpless They haven't been homeless forever.They've done things in society. The White House would be tainted because he doesn't want to get dirty.” I know you're rich, I know you got 40 billion dollars, but can you just keep it to one house, you only need one house. And if you only got 2 kids, can you just keep it to 2 rooms? I mean why have 52 rooms if you know there's people with no room. I mean theres to much money here, nobody should be hitting the lotto for 30 million dollars and we got people starving in the streets. That is not idealistic that is just real, thats just stupid. There is no way Michael Jackson or whoever Jackson should have a million thousand drouple billion dollars and there's people starving. Theres no way! There’s no way that these people should own jets and their own people don't have houses, apartments, shacks, drawers, pants.” Now stop and think about what you just read! If this is truly the ‘melting pot of the world,’ then why do the different cultures and races have so much trouble melting together?
Discrimination in this country is beyond evident. Growing up as a young white male in an impoverished school system has subjected me to it. From seeing it to being a target of it. Since I am white in America, I automatically have some type of surplus of money, at 16 I automatically get a car, and I automatically have college money when the time comes. Bullshit. I am on foodstamps and have been for years, so that means free lunch at school. Without these i wouldn't eat. Period. Here i am 17 and no licence, no car, not shit. And the only way i'm going to college is 21st century scholars or a scholarship. This nation was built on oppression.

African American males in the 21st century has been greatly influenced by the forefathers of Black History.

Leaders like Frederick Douglass, Bruce Nugent, and W. E. B. Du Bois each had an impact on improving the present day Black man, despite the continuous suppression of not only Black men, but African American people…
Ernest B. Shoedsack’s 1933 King Kong is widely considered to be one of the most iconic films of all time. Scholars differ in their opinions of what the film’s narrative and individual symbols demonstrate about American society in 1933, but the most pervasive in terms of popular readings of King Kong is the one of racist allegory and commentary on the white man’s view of African Americans in the US during this time. The plot at its’ most basic certainly raises a few politically correct eyebrows…
Burke 1 Lauren Burke Professor Milner African American History 5 May 2015 The Allusion of Opportunity Racism and ethnic discrimination have been used as powerful weapons throughout history. Today, our world has come a long way from the past, especially since the early 20th century. In the mid-summer of 1910 a man named W.E.B Du Bois, a scholar, teacher, historian and spokesman for the world's "darker races," founded a publication called The Crisis. This was the official publication of the…
work on our educational reforming system. The young youths are the only hopes and precious assets that an economy holds for its best and even worst if not handled appropriately.

With my survey, we can analyze what were the problems during the ancient times and to what extent they have been resolved and what techniques we still should…
like the man. He was upbeat, optimistic, and tough. He easily won the election in 1980, after he asked Americans in his debate with Carter, "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" The answer was clearly no, and Reagan won the chance to try his hand at the presidency. It was immediately as if a veil on the nation's malaise had been lifted. During Reagan's inauguration ceremony, the Americans held hostage in Iran were released. Reagan immediately set out to slash the size of government, instituting…
Hoyser WMST 499 April 29 2013 Feminism Falling through the Cracks: Lipstick Junkies Cosmetics; personal expression or oppressive tool? Arguments that have contrasting views of a subject often come up short in being holistic. The black or white view is of course missing various shades of gray. While some think that cosmetics are excessively a tool of the patriarchy, others believe the use of cosmetics could be a tool to express autonomy and individuality. The second-wave liberal feminism…

neglected by literary critics. It is surprising how this novel has barely been read for its racial matter. Brazil may have imported more African slaves than America, the feeling went, but according to Brazilian elitist opinion, long shared with foreign scholars, it had not created a society that created excuses (political belief as well as race) for dehumanizing measures of exclusion. Such argumentation seems much less conclusive when viewed through today's lens. It is certainly true that Brazil lacks the…
