Module 14 Extra Credit

Triniti Jessie I Am Black! I am Black. I am not White; I am not mixed. I am Black. I am not an Oreo. I am Black! Is it because I do not speak the way that you do? Is it because my skin tone is lighter than yours? Is it because I like Anime…

Race and Ethnicity through the Lens of Poetry

I enjoyed all of the poetry from the module, but my favorite is Darius Simpson & Scout Bostley – “Lost Voices.” This piece made me think and pulled on my heartstrings immensely. “I fight for the voices you silence all in the name of what is right…The problem with speaking up for each other is…

Racial Comedy

I am a fan of racial comedy. I enjoy knowing that my opinions and struggles are true with other people of my race. I agree that it brings up important societal issues to think about my one problem with it is that sometimes people laugh at us and not with us. In the Quinn Dale…

While I am not surprised that a majority White neighborhood in Dallas is racist, it does sadden me that this family has to endure it.…

Short Answer 1

In the memorandum sent out by Russell Vought, he details  the president’s beliefs about critical race theory and racial sensitivity training.

In the Trump administration letter, I find it interesting that one group of people can  be so willfully ignorant and…
