Color, Societal Privilege, and Discrimination
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page discussion of the continuing discrimination which occurs in the United States in regard to race and color. Presents a brief historical basis for the problem and contends that discrimination is both an intercultural and intracultural phenomenon. Suggests that these factors result in an unfortunate mindset that has forced the non-white ethnicities and races further and further away from the white mainstream and are factors which gave us our popular concept of the term minority. It is also this mindset that has resulted in severe societal separation between black and white in particular. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Comparing “White Man’s Burden” and “Baby Boy”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper comparing the films “White Man’s Burden” and “Baby Boy”. “White Man’s Burden” (1995) directed by Desmond Nakano, and “Baby Boy” (2001) directed by John Singleton, are two films which both tell the stories of unemployed lower class individuals who exist and try and live within a racial society. “White Man’s Burden” shows a very class restrictive racial society in which the director has reversed the class distinctions by portraying a time when America is dominated by African Americans in the conservative upper class and the lower class is dominated by poor whites. The main character, Louis Pinnock, loses his job and blames his white boss and seems to be a victim of society and his class. In “Baby Boy” however, which portrays the urban African American society which exists today, the main character, Jody, seems more a victim of his own doing and at first seems disinterested in improving his life style. “Baby Boy” shows the anger of the African Americans and also the violence which can occur but also portrays a more in depth sensitive look at the lower class without providing stark contrasts with the upper class.
