The Lemon Grove Incident Analysis

265 Words2 Pages

During class we saw this film called “The Lemon Grove Incident” it was a film in which made me feel very comfortable. It showed full on racism towards the Latinos in that location, they literally described Mexican people as dirty people with diseases. It was quite fascinating hearing the outrages claims/reasons the white people had for sending the Mexicans kids to a new school “a barn”. I did feel quite proud when the parents of those Mexican children stepped up and arranged gathers to determine that they would not allow such injustice towards their children. Almost close to the end I was smiling the whole time, during the court scene it was quite clear the white people had no knowledgeable excuse towards their actions and decisions other than

    The film 13th is a documentary that explains how the prison systems are another form of slavery and is built to effect colored individuals and colored communities. The film identifies and explained a loop hole in the 13th amendment, which banned slavery. The loop in the amendment is that slavery and involuntary servitude is illegal unless a person is convicted of a crime.

    For example, when some of the teachers and students got arrested during a sit-in. they didn’t need to be arrested, for one they weren’t even really talking so they couldn’t say they were being too loud, they weren’t fighting or arguing with anybody so they weren’t doing anything violent, plus every place that they did a sit-in was public so they weren’t really doing anything wrong. There was no need for anybody to be arrested. Then when they started the Chicano movement there were Mexican Americans on one side then whites on the other, and one of the white men advised a Mexican man to stay behind an invisible line what he said was “the border”, and then threatened the man because of his ethnicity. And then there was a part where a white man just burned a Mexican flag in front of them that wasn’t only unnecessary but really disrespect full the students didn’t do anything to those white people to be getting disrespected like that they wanted their class back.

  • How The East Los Angeles School Walkouts And Chicano Moratorium

    1576 Words  | 7 Pages

In 1968 more than 10,000 Chicana and Chicano students walked out of schools in East Los Angeles to protest inferior educational conditions and demand equal access to quality education. Then, in 1970, the Chicano Moratorium, which intended to be a peaceful demonstration to call for social justice and protest the Vietnam war, transformed into a display of police repression and brutality that left several marchers dead. Descriptive material, such as print media, served as instrumental extensions

  • Little Rock Central High: 50 Years Later Analysis

    Leaving last week’s class, my mind was darting in all sorts of directions. While the “Eyes on the Prize” excerpt gave me a concrete understanding of the historic events of the desegregation of Little Rock High School, “Little Rock Central High: 50 Years Later” brought up all sorts of observations and questions on race in America that I hadn’t necessarily thought to address before. I think these two films were particularly interesting to view back to back because of their difference in style, content, and execution. I have viewed many of the “Eyes on The Prize” segments in past classes and this segment, “Fighting Back”, continues to stand out to me. Through the use of first person interviews and real footage, the piece gave me, what felt like, a clear look

    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
