Primary resources have been presented and so have previous laws and etc. The sources used to complete research for this video may be biased. So the credibility of this website isn't certain. Tue, 20 Oct 2020 16:42:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2148288 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2148288 I relate this to Ballad of the Landlord by Langston Hughes. How there main character lived in such a bad environment and kept on telling the Landlord to fix it and was completely ignored. Which the video shows happened during this time period as well. Black people needed help and weren't given any. Tue, 20 Oct 2020 16:38:44 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2148275 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2148275 This video helps me understand "Hunger' by Richard Wright. It makes me understand how truly hard it was For the main character. Why the mother always pushed her son to get 'thicker skin' because she was trying to help him. Also even Native Son, where Mr. Dalton didn't really care for how his prices were higher for black people in his facilities. This video explained why and went in depth on the discrimination of black people.

Tue, 20 Oct 2020 16:21:51 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2148229 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2148229 I plan to incorporate "racial wealth gap", "median white household health". I feel like these phrases would bring up a good discussion to talk about important economical factors within the black community.

The speakers in this video have evidently done their research on Wright in order to make it. Speakers of this video I believe are historians. They even used his exact words (a snippet of him speaking) so this video has use of primary sources. There are no biases. Tue, 20 Oct 2020 15:36:18 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2148131 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2148131 Bigger in Native Son and Richard Wright are so similar. Both bigger are strong minded and a great thinkers, both did whatever he had to get what they wanted, both were black men in America. However the two differ; Bigger wasn't able to continue his education because he was poor and wasn't able to, Wright didn't continue his education because he felt as though he was too smart and didn't learn anything from school. This source also contradicts the article called "James Baldwin Denounced Richard Wright's 'Native Son' as a 'Protest Novel' Was He Right?" because in this article, it states that Bigger only got up to a 9th grade education while this video states that Bigger got up to a 10th grade education but dropped out in the middle of it. Tue, 20 Oct 2020 15:30:32 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2148117 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2148117 I now fully know why Richard Wright wrote Bigger's persona the way he did. How he made bigger have such a strong disliking for white people, why bigger was strong minded and a great thinker, how Bigger did whatever he had to get what he wanted; because Wright himself was just like him. It is almost evident that Wright based Bigger off of himself. I believe that he did this to really show to his audience, what black life is like from a first person perspective in his novel Native Son.

Tue, 20 Oct 2020 15:12:24 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2148103 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2148103 A phrase I plan on incorporating into my future discussions includes: "seeking ways to survive" this phrase describes what black life was like after slavery. Vocabulary: sharecropping: type of farming where families rent small plots of land from a landowner in return for a portion of their crop. Tue, 20 Oct 2020 15:01:14 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145991 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145991 This source seems very credible. There are no biases nor potential biases. The speaker in this video has clearly done their research and has even provided evidence to support their claim: actual instances of lynchings during this time period. Mon, 19 Oct 2020 18:17:10 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145970 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145970 This video relates to “News Articles on Lynchings”, “The Lynching” by Claude McKay and “Lynch Law in America” by Ida B Wells because all of these works have to deal with lynching. They all talk about the ghastly events that occur when a Lynching happens, whether it be implied (The Lynching) or explicitly states (news articles on lynching). This Differs form the texts that we've read because unlike the texts I've mentioned above, this video is from a third person perspective that isn't a primary source. Mon, 19 Oct 2020 18:11:03 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145963 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145963 This helps me better understand the "News Articles on Lynchings", "The Lynching" by Claude McKay and "Lynch Law in America" by Ida B Wells that we've read for class. This video really goes into depth on how this lynch "trend" started and the horrors of what it was really like. It taught me things i didn't know like how they were treated as carnivals, there were food stands and even children showed up. The public execution of black people was viewed as entertainment. And i had no idea that black people during this time period were murdered for such small crimes. Mon, 19 Oct 2020 18:06:18 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145946 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145946 Words and phrases I plan to incorporate into my future discussions: racial terror, terrorism. These words truly evoke what lynchings were really like during this time period. It was terrorism, and these mobs, were terrorists.

Racial violence. Mon, 19 Oct 2020 17:48:38 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145925 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145925 This source is not credible at all. This is all criticism therefore it is all bias. It is extremely opinionated and credible sources must be without bias nor opinion. This may not be reliable because others may not have the same opinions and beliefs as Mathis has presented. Mon, 19 Oct 2020 17:39:45 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145924 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145924 This relates to Native Son because it's about Native Son. This discusses opinions on Wrights Character developmental techniques (of Bigger). This however differs from Native son because Mathis disagrees with Bigger's entire persona. Wright felt as though him writing Bigger the way he did would gain white sympathy and increased racial awareness and political action, while Mathis felt as though it will do the complete opposite and give black people bad representation. Mon, 19 Oct 2020 17:35:54 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145921 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145921 This is really the validation I needed to see to justify my own previous opinions on the book. I agree 100% with what Mathis states in this passage. Wright's portrayal of Bigger in Native Son was very stereotypical. He made him have a single mother, poor, a rapist, and a murderer. If Wright wanted to gain white sympathy from this book, he should have given Bigger a different persona. This character is very stereotypical and appalling. Which Mathias also states as well. She believes that Wright made it seem like every Black person had this particular experience/lifestyle and that just was not the case. Mon, 19 Oct 2020 17:28:15 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145901 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145901 The author of this passage talks about how Wrights targeted audience for Native Son were white people; and this was to gain white sympathy. She also discussed the harsh stereotypes incorporated in Native Son to describe Bigger. Mon, 19 Oct 2020 17:09:33 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145886 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145886 Vocabulary: Excoriate: censure or criticize severely. Debased: reduced in quality or value. Words I intend to incorporate into future discussions include: elicit, tenanted, grotesque. These words sound complex and of importance. Mon, 19 Oct 2020 17:03:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145885 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145885 I guess one could say that this source is credible. It's a biography therefore the author of it had to do their research on Wright in order to write this Biography on him. This was written from a 3rd person perspective and based of what I've read there are no biases nor potential ones, everything stated here is strictly facts. However, we don't know where the author of this Biography obtained their sources, therefore we really can't tell if this is reliable or not. Mon, 19 Oct 2020 16:54:15 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145880 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145880 The relates to Native Son. Bigger and Richard Wright were very similar. Both grew up in single mother households, only went up to a 8th/9th grade education, were black men in America, and faced financial hardships because of them being black men in America. Also both men were involved in communism somewhat. However the two differ; Wright never gave up on himself, he had a passion, had a goal, strived to get there, found an opportunity and made himself useful. Wright was successful. On the other hand, Bigger had no goals, so strive to achieve anything, he had a opportunity-- but took advantage of it and did not make himself useful. Bigger and Wright are in many ways similar, and in many ways different. Mon, 19 Oct 2020 16:45:20 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145850 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145850 After reading this passage, I got to better understand Native Son. Richard Wrights was a direct descendant of slaves and was only able to get up yo a 9th grade education. he also faced economic struggles. Wrights experiences as a black man during this time period influenced Native Son. So we can assume that he wrote Bigger's persona, based on his own. This made me see Bigger in a different perspective. I found more out about Richard Wright, and I could tell that Native Son was influenced by his beliefs. This book really taught me what it was like during that time period. Mon, 19 Oct 2020 16:30:57 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145785 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145785 Topics covered in this video include Communisms, poverty, black economic oppression, and literature. Mon, 19 Oct 2020 16:05:02 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145611 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145611 Vocabulary: Acclaim: Praise enthusiastically and publicly. Voracious: having a very eager approach to an activity. Jargon: Capitalism, Communist Words and phrases I plan to incorporate into my discussions now: "fell prey to bouts of poverty", Depicts, Disillusioned. These words sound very meaningful and persuading. Mon, 19 Oct 2020 15:26:24 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145601 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145601 This video relates to the previous video on Greenwood and Tulsa Riots. Both videos talk about the success of Black people; Greenwood and Tulsa was economic success and the Harlem Renaissance was performance arts success. They also both had downfalls: Greenwood and Tulsa was destroyed by white people and The Harlem Renaissance declined because of the great depression. This video also differs. No text that we've read so far has gone in depth on the progressive era for Black people in performance arts. Mon, 19 Oct 2020 15:16:29 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145577 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2145577 This video did not help me understand Native Son at all. I feel like the two works have nothing in common. This video talks about the progressive era of black people in music, literature, dance, art, and other performance arts. Other than this doing with black people, this video has nothing in common with Native Son. However, I could relate this to "Ballad of the Landlord" by Langston Hughes. As it is known, Langston Hughes was a well known leader of the Harlem Renaissance. He specialized in jazz poetry. Now focusing on Ballad of the Landlord re-read the title: Ballad: Poem song or short story narrating in short stanzas. Now during the french medieval era and centuries after that, ballads become known as "dance songs". Reading Ballad of the landlord I interpreted it as a constant dance between the main character, going back and fourth with each other. Langston Hughes' leadership and involvement in the Harlem renaissance probably swayed him to write Ballad of the landlord. For him to include some attributes of musical arts into this poem was a result of his role in the Harlem renaissance. Watching this video helped me better understand why that poem had that specific title, and was written in that narrative.

There is uses of primary sources (Literary works and music/musicians during the renaissance) and use of subject based terminology. There are not any biases. These sources are credible because they are primary, coming directly from that time period. However the sources used in this video may have not all been mentioned therefore it may not be 100% credible. Sun, 18 Oct 2020 17:13:13 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142645 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142645 Topics covered in this video include: Black writing, Black art, Black Music, and the migration of black people from the south to the urban north a.k.a. the Great Migration. Sun, 18 Oct 2020 17:09:35 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142643 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142643 Repressive: (of social or political system) inhibiting or restraining the freedom of a person or group of people. Burgeoning: begin to grow or increase rapidly. Anthology: published collection of poems or other pieces of writing. Facet: one side of something many-sided. "flowering of creativity" Jargon: New Negro Movement Sun, 18 Oct 2020 17:06:56 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142636 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142636 I relate this video to the first video. Both videos have to do with the economical effects on the black community. Although the video 1 goes into depth with the segregational effects on the black community, poor economics is a result. These segregated black communities have declined/done poorly because of white people during this time period. Also in Native Son as well. Segregation had hindered the success of the black community. However, in video 1 and Native Son, the neighborhoods had never done well unlike in Greenwood and Tulsa; the region was known as the "Black wall street". Sun, 18 Oct 2020 17:00:43 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142604 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142604 I learned about the economic downfall of Greenwood. Before this video I had no prior knowledge of Greenwood and its existence. I had no idea that there was an economically successful black community during this time period. But it was later destroyed by racists. This helps me better understand all of the texts that we have read in class and truly understand how hard it must've been for black people during this time period to be economically successful. This makes me think about Hunger and Native Son and how hard it must have been for black people to be financially stable. Whether it be the lack of opportunities or the destruction of them, black people were SERIOUSLY oppressed. Sun, 18 Oct 2020 16:49:45 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142573 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142573 This source seems extremely credible. It has use of subject based terminology and primary resources. There are also historians presented in the video. This source is extremely credible and reliable. All questions that i had, were later answered by the video. Sun, 18 Oct 2020 16:39:14 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142568 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142568 Topics covered in this video include: Black Wall Street, self-containment, racial progress, WW1, white mob violence, 2nd amendment, "largest single incident of racial violence in all of american history". Sun, 18 Oct 2020 16:35:51 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142542 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142542 Greenwood: Black district in Tulsa Oklahoma. Later known as black wall street. Potent: Having great influence or effect. Jargon: Second Amendment Sun, 18 Oct 2020 16:29:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142534 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142534 This source seems reliable. There isn't any bias or any inaccuracy within the topics mentioned. There is use of subject based terminology, however, the sources where the video get it's information is not present. Therefore it is unknown if the source is credible. Sun, 18 Oct 2020 16:23:45 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142526 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142526 This video is quite different from the texts we've read in class and videos that I've watched so far. It talks about specific psychological factors that people uses and the and the negative effects that it has on a person with continual use. No other texts talks about this. Like stated in the paragraph before, Native Son does have use of Maladaptive Coping Mechanisms (with Bigger). Sun, 18 Oct 2020 16:19:15 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142504 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142504 I learned what maladaptive coping mechanisms are and how they affect one in the long run. If we become dependent on them we become emotionally weaker and less able to withstand negative emotions. And how these mechanisms convince one that they're the only solution. This reminds me of Bigger in Native Son. He thought that killing Mary and Bessie would be the best decisions but only hurt him in the long run. This helped me better understand why Bigger did what he did even if they weren't the best decisions; he used Maladaptive Coping Mechanisms. Sun, 18 Oct 2020 16:09:31 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142485 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142485 Topics covered in this video include: maladaptive coping mechanisms, adaptive coping mechanisms, coping emotions, and recovery. Sun, 18 Oct 2020 15:53:37 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142482 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142482 Maladaptive coping mechanisms: behaviors that make us feel better in the short term but in the long term they are very harmful. I'd like to use perpetuation in future discussions. Adaptive or healthy coping mechanisms: skills that we must learn in order to replace our maladaptive coping mechanisms. Sun, 18 Oct 2020 15:50:34 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142480 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142480 I'd say that this source is credible. It presented laws and acts passed and how their implementations had affects on the black community. This source also had use of subject based terminology so it shows that the source knows the subject and what they're talking about. The biases could be people used in the video to present their experiences; they're being presented from their perspectives as black people in previously segregated areas; but their opinions also give us a better understanding of what these areas are like from a first-handed perspective. There were statistics presented in this video also, so their is indeed evidence listed to support the videos argument. There aren't any issues of reliability within this video that I have for this video. All of my questions that I had in this video were answered by this video therefore I have none. Sun, 18 Oct 2020 15:43:22 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142447 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142447 I can relate this video with texts that we've read like Native Son. There were impacts on segregation presented in both of these works. Like in this video, in Native Son towns were divided (redlining) and in black areas goods,produce, and homes were higher in price even though black people had less jobs because of the lack of opportunities presented within the black community. However they also do differ; this video talked about segregational impacts on health like increased risks for asthma, and other underlying health conditions, but in Native Son, and in other texts that we've read in class, this topic wasn't talked about. Sun, 18 Oct 2020 15:27:08 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142446 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2142446 I learned a lot of information in this video like how segregation and redlining contributed to external factors in the black community; like increased risks for asthma and other underlying health conditions. I also learned about redlining and how areas were divided on wealth, and race. This helps me better understand the segregation presented in Native Son. I remember when bigger was on the run and the police were looking for him, they had a map of the segregated areas and places that they figured he'd be. Like red areas. I got a chance to better understand Native Son and the impact of segregation in it.

Fair housing act of 1968: policy meant to encourage equal housing opportunities; passed after MLK's assassination. redlining. In future discussions on systematic oppression, I'd like to talk about housing segregation impacts.

So I guess that this source (the video) is reliable (I wouldn't think that this question would apply to this specific video). The actual cinematic work itself is not credible though. It has too many biases; it's written in a completely racist and white perspective and has too many opinions. Credible sources should not be opinionated or biased, strictly facts. Also it is unknown where the creators/writers of the movie got their information on the civil war so their information on this topic could be false. I don't have any questions on the video.

Like viewing black people as savages, whites as victims, and KKK and other racist terrorist organizations as saviors. These stereotypes are in the texts of News articles on Lynchings. And like in Native son, the KKK is mentioned. All of the texts that we have read in class so far are based on racism; racial inequality or racial injustice. It's all been race. However these works do differ. For instance, this video goes in depth on the history behind racial oppression racial stereotypes presented by white people in the past (it's about the civil war), while native son is about that present time period; also so are the other texts that we've read in class.

But it definitely helped me understand other texts that we've read in class like for example the news articles on lynchings: In this cinematic work (The Birth of a Nation) it was described how the southern whites were victims, black people were savages, and the KKK were saviors. It makes me connect back to these lynching articles; these descriptions were the same, black people were killed because they were viewed as "savages", whites in the neighborhood were viewed as "victims" and the killers of these black people (most likely the KKK) were viewed as heroes. I better understand that these roles are stereotypes and have been prominent views before this cinematic work had came into existence.

Blackface: dressing up as a black person (i know this term it's jargon); I plan to incorporate this into future discussions. Bloodletting: surgical removal of a patients blood for therapeutic purposes. Parlance: particular way of speaking or using words. I plan to incorporate the "KKK" into my discussions as well; this organization seems to be very prominent in the texts that we've read in class. Codify: arrange (laws or rules) into systematic code. Despotic: tyrannical. Juggernaut: huge, powerful, overwhelming force or institution.
