Blog #9

many of us like making jokes but when the joy or prank goes to far thats when its starts getting in to a situation that no ones likes. a great example is that of cotati city councilman man who painted his face black and posted a picture of it on his blog. he expected evyone to fing it funny and amusing but the truth is that it may actually have done the total opposite. i was reading some of his responds i saw that many people where actually telling him that they support him but their was actually many who said that their town is know viewed as a racist town. the nnap actually told him that they were going to so eveything possible so that he is out of office an expreessed them selves that since they were african-americans they know what was racist and that the picture sowed racism. what i think is that all who are african-americans will find it racist while thoes of differnt color will find it funny. the reason why i say this is because we as humman beings tend to find everything racist of hatred when it comes to being something that has to do with our race but when we see that its asomething that has to so with a race thats not our then thats when we start to see the funny side of it.

Essay #4

The "N" word has been around for a long time. is was first used during the slavery period as a way to categorize and put down african americans who at that time where the salves. it is a word that is was ment to cause harm to every slave that heard it. Even though time has changed but the the meaning to the "N" word has stayed the same. A person like Mark Taiwn who was very educated knew the true meaning of this word but he still decided to put it his book The Adventures of Huckeberry Fin. the main reason why i think that he put it in the book was to show realism of how time was back in the days. Still even today i think that we hear the word as often as we used to hear it because when we listen to hip-pop or rap the word that cant be left out of the son is non other than the same word that was used by white people to keep them down but they still say it.

First of all realism is always important so why make a big deal about a book that is doing the same thing that movies are doing, trying to make everything be and look as real as it can be. mark taiwn wrote the N word beacasue he wanted it to be as realistic as he could and in my point of viw he made it possible. movie makers now in days spend a lot of money on special effects and that because they just like mark taiwn they want their movies to be as realistic as possible. there is no harm in that.

african-americans might be the ones who get offended the most when they have to read this book and have to pronounce the word that is ment to harm them the most rite. well if this word might hurt them so much then why are they the one saying all the time. in my point of view i wouldnt call anyone a "wet back" which is suppose to be derogatory word towards latinos specially mexican because i am showing that it is ok to say it. every time a new songs comes out writen by are sang by african-americans the word that has to be there well its non other thatn the "n" word. so how can they sing it and say it but they cant read it.

Reading the boook the adventures of huck finn is actually like being back in the days and every word in the book makes it possible. 

The ***N*** Word

The N words was used as a deragotory word towards African Americans during the slavery period. it was a word that was used by whites as a way to opress the slaves. it was used often since it was basically the name that was given to all the black people. When Mark Taiwn wrote this book in 1885 he was was trying to make the book as realistic as he could and thats why i think thats the reason why he choosed to put the word in the book. Mark Taiwn was an intelligent man so he knew exacly what the n word ment but he still choosed to put it in his book. The book is written about a boy's advebtures during the slavery period period when people were used to saying that word very often.

some of the questions that i have is to help me get expand my reasoning on to why taiwn choosed to put the word in the book.
What so other people think that mwrk taiwn put this word in his book?
How can i expand my essay?

uniformes

The incident with the dallas police officer and the NFL player was shamefull and it trully showed how the police officers really react to any situation. like i mentioned in class police officers first put on their police unifornme then their human uniform and this happens more when they are young because they dont want people to be able to walk over them and they want to show that they are tuff. i think that if i was that police officer the least i could do is walk inside the hospital to see if the story was really true then i could of just either let them go or waited til they got out to continue the situation. but i think that just by getting a glimps of who the police officer was chacesing it gave him enough info to make him react the way he reacted becasue specially he lives in a community where the mojority of arrested happens to be color people the ur first reaction would be that their is another color person breaking the law. but how do we end this if thour mind always make the whole picture from just a pieces of it or at least it tries too.
