    “…because it threatens their collective entitlement by insisting that no group be entitled over another.” (456) Steele’s quotes suggest that everyone should have equal entitlements and for the minorities that receive more; they should not take them for granted, because they are ultimately limiting the rights of caucasion in the process. Steele pleads with minorities to realize that it is better to work for entitlements and benefits, rather than just receive these handouts out of pity, because ultimately the rights fought for durning the Civil Rights Movement were to be equal to whites. Not to sit idly by and count on entitlements to make them equal but to work for them as the Caucasians

    He fights back by using examples from history whose actions precipitated violence, like Socrates and Jesus. In addition, he describes the two forces who have responded to the oppression. One force that is drained and has adjusted to segregation, and other force that is full of bitterness, hatred, and frustration, who believe “the white man is an incorrigible devil.” He describes how the pent-up emotions would be released at some point or another and hopes that the white moderates could at least try to understand why the nonviolent protests are so

The party lost its grasp of power, only to relay it to a more discriminatory party that has been known to be “negro-hating.” The neglect from the Republican party and the hate from the Democrats, what would one hope for? Aunt Quinby pushed for an ulterior party to save them.

    The View of Perception There are many unmistakable parallels between the two-short story’s “The Lottery” and “Barn Burning.” “The Lottery” is written by Shirley Jackson and takes place in a small town in America. The lottery is an annual ritual where all the families get together, the man of each family takes a paper with the possibility of that being marked which then means someone in the family will die. That is to say, a villager winning the lottery results in the other villagers stoning he or she to death. William Faulkner wrote the short story “Barn Burning.”

  • The Rhetoric Of Race In The Tea Party

    195 Words  | 1 Pages

    Yet the toughest part of the problem now is that as soon as you start talking about the Tea Party and race, they turn around and say, “You are the racist for saying that we are the racists.” The rhetoric of race has changed dramatically in a way that racial justice projects have lost, but also, and more fundamentally, liberalism has lost. It’s lost because race has shifted to a coded and expressed register and on both registers the language of race is controlled by conservatives. So on the coded register, you have this constant drumbeat of insinuations that taint liberalism as a giveaway to minorities through language like “welfare” or “amnesty” or “causing terrorism.” And you don’t see liberals using a coded racial language to rebut that.

    No matter what goes on the scale of power always tips back to the white citizens of the country just because of their skin color. When confronted with the idea of white privilege, white people often believe that they are being victimized by otherwise uncontrollable circumstances. “White fragility is a state where even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves including outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress-inducing situation” (Corrigan). When white people experience these feelings, they often label themselves as the victim in the situations, blaming others for confronting them based on uncomfortable or racially charged feelings. Even in situations where African Americans are being discriminated against in a non-deliberate way, white fragility shows that racial prejudice still exists even on a subconscious

    Bridget, I found it very interesting reading your post on the Boston Tea Party. It was interesting reading a different perspective on the same material that I wrote about. One thing that I found very unique about your letter was the distinction of screams between the screams of shock and the screams of rebellion. You also said in your post that, "There was no reason to suspect anything until groups of the rebels were suddenly running on board three british ships in the harbor. " This leads to my first question, do you think suspicion would arise in the colony as the patriots were dressed up as Indians in town?
