It seems like white Americans were trying to find reasons to fire black employees https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277973 https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277973 Mon, 18 Jan 2021 17:58:45 -0500 I agree. I was surprised to see his mother react the way she did. I wonder if this was normal during the time period to discipline your children through violence https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277972 https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277972 Mon, 18 Jan 2021 23:39:04 -0500 It is almost like it was illegal for African Americans to be smart. This emphasizes how hard it was for African Americans to reach success in an occupation, given that they were barely given an opportunity to get an education. https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277971 https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277971 Mon, 18 Jan 2021 17:56:51 -0500 It is sad to see that African Americans were expected to not get an education https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277970 https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277970 Mon, 18 Jan 2021 17:55:47 -0500 This whole story is riddled with attempts by white men to threaten African Americans. https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277969 https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277969 Mon, 18 Jan 2021 17:54:18 -0500 The treatment of African Americans during this time period was horrible. Reading this story is very difficult. https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277954 https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277954 Mon, 18 Jan 2021 17:53:22 -0500 Nothing was ever good enough https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277953 https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277953 Mon, 18 Jan 2021 17:52:01 -0500 Evidence that the white men want to feel in control as they try to threaten black employees https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277952 https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277952 Mon, 18 Jan 2021 17:51:38 -0500 This is extremely hard to read https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277951 https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277951 Mon, 18 Jan 2021 17:51:03 -0500 It is extremely upsetting to see how easily African Americans lost their jobs. https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277950 https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277950 Mon, 18 Jan 2021 17:49:40 -0500 This paragraph shows how African Americans would always be put on the wrong-side. No matter what they did, they were always wrong. This is extremely upsetting. https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277949 https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277949 Mon, 18 Jan 2021 17:48:59 -0500 Is it possible that white men feel threatened by the success of African Americans? https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277948 https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277948 Sun, 24 Jan 2021 18:19:14 -0500 It is very upsetting to see how limited African Americans were and how difficult it was for them to achieve success given the discrimination in the workplace https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277947 https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277947 Mon, 18 Jan 2021 17:46:15 -0500 A lot of segregation evident here https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277946 https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277946 Mon, 18 Jan 2021 17:43:19 -0500 Under what circumstances is violence justified? Further, even when it is not justified, is it effective? https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277945 https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277945 Sun, 24 Jan 2021 18:17:50 -0500 This is really upsetting. Why was violence justified in this scenario? https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277944 https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277944 Mon, 18 Jan 2021 17:40:44 -0500 Even though throwing cinders seems dangerous, it is evident in the text that this practice of throwing cinders was familiar and not new. Broken bottles, however, were a new weapon. This shows how people are scared of things that are not familiar to them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277942 https://nowcomment.com/documents/249790?scroll_to=2277942 Sun, 24 Jan 2021 18:16:57 -0500
