Today I wanted to write about as kids everyone is treated as if they were inferior never being listened to or asked their opinion on a certain topic, this happens with every gender and race. With this being said, many of us get upset for not being listened to or treated inferior because we were young but when we become older we do the same thing, not only to kids but to people of other races. The real question those is if we are all treated inferior at some point in our life why do we treat other people that way?
I believe that we treat people this way because we want to feel inferior to others and then when you make them feel inferior then they feel the need to pass it on so they can feel furor and it’s a vicious cycle, the reason I bring up this topic is because it’s happening in today’s society. People are so upset about where their place is in the world that they take it out on others to make themselves feel and look better.
This is what the police do to the black community, and this isn’t something that’s new it’s been going on for years. Police would wait for a black person to use the wrong water fountain or sit on the wrong side of the movie theater so that they could attack them and beat them and throw them in jail. This has gone on for many years in the nineties the rap group NWA came out with f the police trying to inform the people of how the black community was be treated many white people were outraged by the song and the police were enraged harassing the rap group for the longest time. This relates so much to when Rashad is harassed by the paul a police officer in the novel All American boy because he wasn’t do anything and he got in trouble because of the color of his skin and he was beaten up without any cause.
In the novel, Rashad’s brother is outraged by this action and in real life, many people are also outraged and they believe that it needs to be talked about and this is why I believe that we should talk about it to get it out there so other people can hear different sides of the story.
I wish you would have given more background and detail about your novel
sorry Izzy, I’ll try to be more descriptive next time.
Loved the beginning about how everyone has been treated like they are inferior great to include that and I really like how you approached it. Talking about how it’s just a cycle and everyone has been treated inferior at some point. you mentioned your book there for a little bit honestly I wouldn’t have mentioned it at all at the end like you did. You had a good thing going but if you wanted to put it in there you should have included more about the book.
