Comments by Julia Barros Most recent public comments by Julia Barros https://nowcomment.com/users/99931 I agree with what everyone is saying. I think he's also trying to feed the stereotypes made about Black people. How they're reckless and slums so they'd fight and make messes or start upheaval. In reality, White people are usually first to get violent https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289316 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289316 Mon, 25 Jan 2021 01:58:59 -0500 This is so dehumanizing. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289312 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289312 Mon, 25 Jan 2021 01:53:34 -0500 Was she raped? https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289310 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289310 Thu, 15 Apr 2021 10:35:33 -0400 I feel like it's the complete opposite. If Richard had refused to take the cigarette he probably would've gotten in trouble. It was almost like a threatening sign to keep his mouth shut and accept it by showing his alliance to the white people. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289308 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289308 Thu, 15 Apr 2021 10:34:42 -0400 It is awful. I believe this was because police forces were originally created when slavery began, to control and catch the runaway slaves. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289306 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289306 Mon, 25 Jan 2021 01:40:04 -0500 Where does this anger come from? Besides the fact that Richard didn't actually call him Pease, it is literally a name. He clearly has other problems aside from being a maniac racist. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289304 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289304 Mon, 25 Jan 2021 01:37:48 -0500 Totally agree. Also, their mindset is extremely counter-intuitive. Someone obviously taught them what they know but then they call Black people dumb when they or no one would teach them. It comes from pride and racism. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289289 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289289 Mon, 25 Jan 2021 01:33:33 -0500 I also think it's because their pride got to them. Once they found out Richard believes he could work at the same level as them they were offended and didn't think deserved respect any longer. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289286 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289286 Thu, 15 Apr 2021 10:33:38 -0400 What kind of lifestyle could five dollars a week sustain for a citizen in America during the great depression. I remember prices inflated so it really can not be enough. Also, he is working with 17-year-olds, it must be a beginner level job. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289270 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289270 Thu, 15 Apr 2021 10:30:36 -0400 Her anger and frustration probably came from fear. She probably feels helpless and hopes that scaring him will protect him and keep him away from the white kids. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289266 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289266 Mon, 25 Jan 2021 01:11:50 -0500 intro https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289261 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2289261 I totally agree. And right off the bat from the first sentence, you can tell that Wright does not live a normal life. Not only was he stripped of greenery and a comfortable lifestyle, but he claims to have to learn how to live as a black person. No one should have to learn how to live in their own skin because we are all born equal. Mon, 25 Jan 2021 01:03:58 -0500
