Mathis did not provide with anytime of evidence that could prove her points.

It's is good to know more information from different perspective in order to gain more knowledge.

This word is a very fancy word to be used in my discussion.

I know better understand how Lynching was in America. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 17:25:56 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151943 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151943 I believe that this may differ from Bigger in Native Son because the difference is that Bigger wasn't an educated black male who always did the right things unlike the one speaking of his experience who was being discriminated once police officers. He felt like since he always did the right things that everything would be great and that there would equality. However in Bigger's mind he felt the opposite way.

Wed, 21 Oct 2020 17:12:16 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151919 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151919 The potential biases is that the speaker could definitely provide her opinion or even experience sometime even unintentionally. There is several people who worked to put the information provided in this video altogether and they use information provided by US Department of Education, Immediate College Enrollment rate, and National Education for Student Statistics and many other organizations. I believe that this video is reliable due to the fact that they are also using information from the government and not only them. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 17:05:16 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151900 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151900 This video relates to Native Son because I believe that Bigger had Maladaptive Coping Mechanism because he did things like shoplifting, risk taking behavior, compulsive lying which are definitely shown throughout the text. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:54:46 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151851 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151851 In the video the speaker discusses on how opportunities are not equal for all and especially for children who were born into poor families. This video relates to Native Son because black people didn't have the same opportunities as white people and in this case it is not only children being born into poor families but also being born into black families because sadly black families were most likely to be poor. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:47:31 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151832 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151832 This is credible because it was an autobiography that Richard Wright wrote on his own. Although it was published in website which could have a slight possibly that may have been edited. However, based on ideas expressed in his own writing this autobiography seems like a reliable source. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:36:05 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151827 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151827 The video relates to both Native Son and Black Boy because both texts are based on his own experiences. The only difference is that Richard Wright left the country to go to Paris and became an expatriate. He decided to move to Paris because he felt disappointed with both the Communist Party and white America as no not enough progress was made to stop racism. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:32:39 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151797 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151797 I learned about about Richard Wright who is the author of Native Son and of Hunger. It always good to know about the authors life because the author may sometimes but themselves into the position of one of the characters. Like in this case Bigger Native Son. Based on his autobiography I noticed that he went thought similar situations like the ones Bigger went through.

Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:18:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151742 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151742 I believe that this source is credible because it is seen from different perspectives which include the white and the black people. They also provide with statistics and interviews with people who talk about their experience. A question that remained unanswered is what could be done to end the racal wealth gap. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:15:01 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151727 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151727 This video relates to Native Son because in the video they talk about housing segregation which is something that was also talked about throughout the story. In Native Son white people always lived in the best area and the black people always lived in the worst area. Black people were always required to live in an area designated especially for them. It was very rare to see a black person in a white neighborhood unless he/she was a worker for the white people.

This is a word that is used to describe a person who has moved from their native country. Richard Wright felt the need to move out of the country as he became delusional with the Communist Party and white America I believe many African Americans who were tired of how they were treated would prefer to leave the country. Wright felt it was better move out to Paris. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 15:09:37 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2149853 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2149853 In the video I learned about the racial wealth gap between whites and black people. White people disliked black people moving into their neighborhood because they saw them as a threat in housing prices. There were many laws that were put into place that supported the separation of households between white and black people. This helps me better understand some of the texts we've read so far because it give me more knowledge on why white people usually lived in areas separate from black people.

I didn't know what it meant. Compounding interest is the increasing of the price on an investment over time. I believe this phrase would be very useful in my discussion when i talk about the racial wealth gap.

Wed, 21 Oct 2020 10:10:37 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2149117 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2149117 A potential bias is that the speaker of the video is a person of color which could at times affect the credibility of the video because he talks about the inequality that his community has been through and could be hard to avoid personal opinions. The speaker of the video is black male named Gene Demby. What gives this speaker credibility is that he talks based on his experiences because he has been through black neighborhoods and even interviewed some people. Demby only talks about from a certain perspective however we are not able to see other perspectives which leaves many questions unanswered or unclear. Tue, 20 Oct 2020 23:33:22 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2149099 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2149099 It is hard to believe how housing segregation even existed. I learned about how housing segregation was and the different laws that protected them. I didn't know what that meant until after viewing the video. This helped me better understand Native Sone because white people would live in great areas and black people would live in areas with poor living conditions which would definitly cause anger. Throughout the story Bigger would demonstrate his anger towards white people because they would always receive better living conditions then them which was horrible because they never did nothing to deserve that type of unfairness and inequality.

The "Home Owners Loan Corporation" (HOLC) created the "Residential Security Maps" which is used to classify neighborhoods by their perceived level of lending risk. I plan to use this phrase in my discussion when I talk about the racial housing segregation. Tue, 20 Oct 2020 23:39:17 -0400
