This video was informative.

I enjoyed reading this. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:59:21 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2152106 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2152106 I learned a lot of things that I didn't know about him before. I thought that the information was clear and precise. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:58:16 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2152094 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2152094 This source is not biased. The source is Richard Wright. Because the source comes from the original person, the source is credible. This video did not state the books that Richard Wright wrote. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:55:26 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2152088 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2152088 This video relates to this work Native son because Native son is a novel that people find hard to understand why he would put these characters in that situation and this video gives you insight. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:52:55 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2152080 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2152080 I learned that Wright, the author of Native son was a smart person but also a tricky guy. This helps me understand why he wrote Native son and the commitment he had to write. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:50:14 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2152076 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2152076 I already knew all of the words that were used in this video. Phrases that I plan to use in discussions would be Wright came to the realization that school won't get him anywhere. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:48:02 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2152036 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2152036 Some topics that were covered in this video were Jim crow laws, sharecropping, slavery, racism, and segregation. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:44:54 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151995 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151995 I didn't even know that Blacks and Whites had wealth rap so this whole video was a shocked to me. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:36:16 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151989 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151989 I didn't know about this beforehand so I was surprised that this happened. I had heard information colored people not able to get certain houses in certain areas and now I understand why. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:33:21 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151982 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151982 I don't think there is any bias concerning this video. The sources that were used were not stated. The only thing that gives the speaker credibility is because on their channel it says that they are for justice. I do not have any questions. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:31:07 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151976 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151976 This video relates to Native son because Bigger was scared of lynching. He was a Black man that accidentally killed a white woman. This video also relates to texts we have read about lynching. This video differs from Native son because Bigger didn't get killed from lynching but from an electric chair. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:27:44 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151967 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151967 I never heard about Birth of a Nation so I found it surprising that all of those things happened. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:23:30 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151947 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151947 I learned that blacks were easily crucified for anything concerning white people. This information helps in understand why Bigger was so afraid when Mary's mother came in because he knew of the consequences of a black man even looking at a white woman. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:20:11 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151934 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151934 Some topics covered in this video were lynching, unjust treatment for blacks, and racism. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:16:14 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151928 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151928 New vocabulary I learned were racial equality, racial subordination, and disenfranchisement. I could use racial equality when I'm having a conversation about racism. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:13:58 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151912 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151912 This video relates to Native son because it talks about racism and stereotypes behind black people. This differs from Native son because not all black people are not liked and this is the same for other races as well. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:01:43 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151904 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151904 In this video, I didn't learn much that could correlate with Native son. This video helped me understand why people treated black people horribly and why lynching was seen as normal. This helped in understand the text we read about lynching. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 04:57:06 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151887 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151887 The only vocabulary I learned was bloodletting which they let blood out of your body. A word I would use would be Blaceface because it seems to be a trend these days to do this. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 04:50:52 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151848 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151848 A bias would be that the speaker doesn't know what the true intent of the author. The source that was used is the film Birth of a Nation. There are no issues with relevance or reliability because the source is credible. the sources are credible because they are sourcing directing from the film. There is no limitation in this video. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 04:46:46 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151840 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151840 Some topics that were covered in this video were racism, the world war, and blackface. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 04:39:51 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151680 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151680 This source seems unbiased and trustworthy. This source is credible because mostly everyone listens to CDC because they help prevent diseases. There are no issues with relevance or reliability because CDC has proven time and time again that they can be trustworthy. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 04:01:10 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151648 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151648 This relates to Native son because Bigger had mental issues which caused him to acted up, it might have been because his father was absent throughout his life. This differs because we don't know if Bigger had a problem when growing up. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 03:54:10 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151610 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151610 I learned that things that happen to a child when younger can affect their lives when they get older. This relates to Native son because Bigger probably had something wrong with his mental health. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 03:53:07 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151121 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151121 Some of the topics that were covered in this video were Child adversity, effects of abuse, and neglect. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 01:55:12 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151117 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151117 New vocabulary I learned was adversity stress and emotional self-regulation. I don't plan on using any of these words because I don't talk about this topic with anyone. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 01:53:15 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150853 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150853 The bias would be that this is not the author's point of view and it is someone else inferring what the author may have been thinking. The speaker is Ayana Mathis and the sources are unknown because they are not stated. This is not reliable because the sources are not there. A limitation would be not sourcing where they got the information. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 01:35:40 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150756 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150756 This text is about the books Native on and it's explaining how they thought the author felt and why he writes the book. It differs because it may have not been how the author perceived why he wrote his character like that. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 01:27:34 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150667 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150667 This information helped me understand why the author wrote Native son to portray the black community in such a stressful way that allowed the readers to feel guilt for Mary's parents right after they had shown love and care for Bigger. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 01:16:04 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150638 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150638 Some topics that were covered in this text were why the author choose to write Native son the way he did it and Native son, its intention. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 01:11:55 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150630 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150630 The new vocabulary I learned was resonance, grotesque, and mammies. I plan to use the word blackness to uplift the word and myself. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 01:09:34 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150565 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150565 A potential bias would be that Richard Wright didn't write this biography himself. The speaker is the person and no sources were stated. One thing that gives this source credibility is the fact that they say they aim for "accuracy and fairness" but other than that this source cannot be trusted even though the information seems correct. A limitation would be not listing where they got their information from. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 00:53:50 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150503 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150503 This text relates to Native son and Hunter from Black boy because the text is about the author and this life growing up. His book, Native son talks about a boy living in segregation and this text also talks about segregation. This text differs because he didn't go through the same thing as bigger when it came down to running away from the police because he had killed someone. Thu, 22 Oct 2020 00:45:40 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150018 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150018 In light of this text, I now understand why Richard wright incorporated the communist party in Native son. In Native Son, he made the communist party seem like the right way to go and now I understand why he did this. I also have a better understanding of why he wrote Black boy, to show that his "life count[ed] for something".

Wed, 21 Oct 2020 23:12:43 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149962 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149962 The new vocabulary that I learned was the Federal Writer's Party. I plan to incorporate American capitalist in my vocabulary when I'm talking about America. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 23:09:12 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149251 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149251 A potential bias would be that they mostly use sources from surveys and not something else. The speakers are Mehrsa Baradaran, Cory Booker, Thomas Shapiro, and Beth Jacobson. Some of the sources used are urban institute/ survey of consumer finances, 2016 dollars, Edward Wolff/ survey of consumer finances, 2016, and roger ransom and Richard such. There is no issue of reliability. A question that hasn't been answered is why have we still not received the 40 acres of land. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 13:47:59 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149248 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149248 This video relates to a theme in "hunger" that blacks are always hungry for social justice and to get their freedom back. Because this video talks about wealth and the wealth gap between blacks and whites, it relates to hunger because that is what blacks are suffering from so they are trying to find a way out but to no avail, leaving them still hungry. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 13:33:18 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149246 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149246 I learned that the racial gap between blacks and whites is too large, that blacks wouldn't be able to catch up unless a miracle happens. This helps me understand why Biggers family was so poor and unable to make a decent amount of money. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 13:21:38 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149244 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149244 Some topics that were covered in this video were the effects of slavery upon black people, why the gap between blacks and white is so large, and last but not least why recreation is needed. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 13:12:38 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149243 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149243 New vocabulary that I learned was the title of the video racial wealth gap and compound interest. I plan to use the racial wealth gap whenever I'm having a discussion about the effect of racism on blacks. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 13:10:47 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149240 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149240 They only interviewed black people and no other race which creates a bias towards other races. Another bias would be that they only interview a limited about of people that does not represent a sample of Baltimore. The sources that were used are John Hopkins University, city lab, ProPublica, and Baltimore city health department, 2011. These sources are credible because they are not biased and work to provide true information. There is no issues with relevance or reliability. A question that was not answered was has housing separation has improved or changed in any way. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 12:45:24 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149190 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149190 This video relates to many texts including Native son because it talks about racism and the unjust separation that was caused by laws. This video is different from Native son because Native son didn't have the opportunity to buy houses and could only live in a run down apartment because they were broke. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 12:24:54 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149169 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149169 I learned that for colored people, it is harder for them to succeed because they are constantly being put down by laws and regulations that make it harder for them to breathe. When considering Native son I understand why it was so hard for Bigger to come clean when he was in Mary's room. I understand why he had to keep on running even though it was an accident. I understand but I don't accept his actions. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 12:05:51 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149164 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149164 Some topics that were discussed were discrimination in health, school, police, and wealth. The video also talked about The National Housing Act of 1934 and the Fair housing act of 1968. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 11:57:17 +0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149152 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149152 New vocabulary that I learned were distressed areas, housing segregation, The National Housing Act of 1934, Homeowners Loan cooperation (HOLC), residential security maps, and redline. I plan on incorporating low interest in my discussion when I'm talking about history. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 11:49:15 +0800
