James Baldwin's White Audience Of America

James baldwin was an incredible writer and debater. He wrote from the mid-to-late 20th century, and his impassioned, outstanding work stands as an amazing resource for  white people audience trying to understand some of the race related problems that we will never have to experience. And his audience need to understand the problems that he addresses, because white america audience caused these problems hundreds of years ago, and it is white people who allow them to persist today through willful ignorance and inaction. That’s not an attack on anyone of course  and certainly not anyone in particular.  It is simply an observation based on many, many observations , documented, and honorable facts. For these reasons and some others,. This essay

is called “My Dungeon Shook” — Letter to My Nephew on the Anniversary of the Emancipation” and while it is not very long letter to his nephew, it is full of amazing insight, observations, and fair, hard judgments. There is a lot in this essay, and there is no way that we can unpack all of it in one blow. James Baldwin very eloquently and beautifully wrote this essay, and it deserves to be read in its original entirety especially to find ethos to back up his claims.
 James baldwin focus on what he see in this essays work that can prove his objective and should be brought back into white communities and this beauty essay is very persuasive towards intend audiences. This is a very moving missive, and one of the big takeaways that james baldwin get from it is that the world has been structured by white people society , for white people. For black and brown people, particularly for African Americans, the world can be ceaselessly cruel, degrading, and hurtful. It is a dehumanizing world that can crush one’s spirits, and there is very little that people of color themselves can do to reverse this. And that means white people have to join the effort to dismantle the racist establishment which james baldwin have persuasively explain.   
Baldwin levels of appealing towards white audience of  america is that they have allowed these crushing institutions to continue throughout the century, and they have allowed themselves to be as ignorant about of african american suffering.

The reality is that baldwin is right.  The world is stacked in favor of white people in american, and is therefore stacked against people of color.  Why? Because America have set it up this way. Bering white comes with tons of privileges.  That’s not up for debate based on factual history that occur in this country .  Pretty safe to say that james baldwin never have experienced that privilege, and in those rare circumstances where that privilege was not present to him at all , Baldwin was immediately and powerfully aware of its lacking. White privilege is real, and it protects us from many horrible forms of discrimination.  We might be discriminated against for some other factors, but the literal color of our skin will never be held against us by society, and that is a huge privilege on its own. If you’re coming into this discussion and you’re not yet thoroughly convinced that white privilege is real, please be in touch.  We can talk about it. To return to Mr. Baldwin’s essay, he goes on to compare the conditions for African Americans to the ones written in Charles Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities. This paints a colorful rhetoric, if cheerless, picture.  That book, as you may recall, paints the aristocracy as having a callous disregard for the lives and happiness of the lower class and poor. One parallel that he is drawing here, is that white people are the members of the American destruction. By virtue of our birth, we are afforded privileges.  That means that by virtue of their birth that is, their skin color African Americans  are subjected to penalties. They don’t receive the benefits we do, so our benefit is their burden.  This observation is captured in the following passage from the

letter.
