American essayist, best-selling author, and former managing editor for Time magazine, Nancy Gibbs, in her op-ed article, “Will the Nation Succeed After Charlottesville Where Donald Trump Failed?”, published on August 28th, 2017, addresses the topic of cultural violence in America and argues that this increasing divide between cultures and ideals will only continue to break apart this nation if individuals, and even the President, can’t stand up and defend those who are trying to make peace in a world of idealistic differences. She supports this claim first by presenting a question by former president, Barack Obama, upon entering his presidency in which introduces this not so far-fetched possibility of a culture war in the United States, second

  • Rumors in Baldwin's Notes of a Native Son

    1122 Words  | 3 Pages

    When students across the United States study the 1940’s, one main topic is focused on, World War II. Students learn that during the forties, Europe was war torn and America sent its troops overseas to fight in some of the most infamous battles of the twentieth century. But what is left out of history lessons is what was going on American soil when the battles across the ocean were raging on. This decade was a racially charged time in American history, even though this fact is over shadowed by the Nazis of Germany in history books. Several race riots occurred in the forties. Even though they were equal in violence to the riots of the Civil Rights Movement in the sixties, many Americans forget the riots of the forties. The biggest and bloodiest race riot of the 1940’s took place in Detroit, Michigan, in June of 1943. Several publications covered the riots, and none of the printed facts ever matched up until years later. This rioting resulted from a rumor that flowed through city streets. The rumor and the riot that it caused destroyed an entire city and many human lives. James Baldwin emphasizes the historical significance of rumors and uses this theme in his essay, “Notes of a Native Son,” to highlight the struggle toward equality.

  • Analysis Of Timothy B. Tyson's 'Blood Done Sign My Name'

    1050 Words  | 3 Pages

    Centuries of both figurative and literal binding held down countless individuals from reaching their full potential, and in turn held down the entirety of the mankind from progressing forward, Despite laws that emerged in hopes to create equality, years of “Separate but equal” lies perpetuated across from sea to shining sea. Other nations took notice to how America treated its citizens with concern, but yet the discrimination continued. Years of voices fighting for change fell on deaf ears. Typically, only in incidents such as Freedom Summer where white students who fought for equal rights died did the attention of the national public tune to the true horror and extremity white supremacists were taking to hold back change. (cite). Through reading Tyson’s book, one is able to further reach an understanding of the clash of rage, despair, anguish, and frustration felt by those fighting for equal

  • Compare And Contrast Jim Crow And Just Mercy

    1126 Words  | 3 Pages

    America is a façade hidden behind its notorious past, with an even more troubling present. The land of the free, home of the brave, and one nation claimed to be united under the presence of an omnipotent power, but is it really? America profits off of the so-called dream that is sold to the hopeful and broken. This nation has been riddled with violence, persecution, hatred, and a false sense of togetherness. Racism was not the beginning, it was the ending result of a power struggle between those who wanted control and those who had it. The systematic enslavement and dehumanization of blacks resulted in the concept of a racial caste division, creating the idea of us vs. them (Wacquant, 2002). The Jim Crow laws, prisons, and the creation of ghettos

    Woodard explains to his readers about this “cultural Cold War” and clash of cultures that is occurring internally throughout the nations. He labels it as an “internal civil war” that led people as far as physical violence. So now, not only do we, as a nation, still struggle as a whole with these essential freedoms, our individual pockets of people are also starting to crumble and fall apart. Historically, this was a low moment, culturally, for the United States. Our identity became much foggier. The few parts of our culture we might have thought to be solid or concrete, now collapsed from the inside

  • Critical Analysis Of Race Matters By Dr. Cornel West

He attempts to raise the awareness of his readers (and audiences) about the importance of race as an integral part of American society. In addressing the Los Angeles riot, Dr. West, wrote, “The riot of April 1992 was, neither a race riot, nor a class rebellion, rather, this monumental upheaval was a multiracial, trans-class, and largely male display of justified social rage.” These events were unfortunate, and attempts were made by ‘the powers that be’ to blame them on “the black underclass, the action of criminal hoodlums, or the political revolt of the oppressed urban masses miss the mark.” Instead, Dr. West attributed the cause He stated, “Race was the visible catalyst, not the underlying cause.”

    America appears to desire inspiration and moral integrity, but not at the expense of a good fight. In the age of Martin Luther King, Jr., in the age of those who are tired of war and who seek peace, in the age of those who seek a new way for government to represent its citizens, this fear of modesty and integrity, of an unwillingness to engage in combat as if one's life were at stake, must be examined more closely. For if we truly, as a nation, want peace, we must become peaceful among ourselves. And if we truly want moral leadership, we must become more

    “‘Don’t argue with white folks,’ [Luke] had said. ‘Don’t tell them ‘no.’ Don’t let them see you mad. Just say ‘yes, sir.’ Then go ’head and do what you want to do. Might have to take a whippin’ for it later on, but if you want it bad enough, the whippin’ won’t matter much.” (Butler 96). Throughout the years many things have changed with the way we view others. Racial barriers have been destroyed and cultures have united more than they ever have in the past. Groups that used to appose are now together yet there are still issues everywhere you look.
