Why The Black Table Still Exists

551 Words2 Pages

In “The “Black Table” Is Still There” the author wonders why, after so many years there is a table with just only black kids. I think it is clear that we tend to separate ourselves. It is only natural that this still exists amongst society today. Even though we don’t realize it and it’s done unintentionally. There are a few factors why we segregate ourselves. One reason is that without recognizing it we stay with people from our own race and country. This is because we feel we share the same interest and have so much in common. This goes on every day without people knowing it. It happens in our schools and in our neighborhoods. There are some communities that are divided into same ethnicity. We feel that just because we have the same culture and same beliefs, we are able to relate to each other more easily than someone who is not. Just because someone else is of a different nationality and religion, we don’t associate with them as much. Not to say we can’t be a diverse group of people. It’s because this force of habit not only resides with nationality or religi...

  • Shelby Steele's On Being Black And Middle Class

    1241 Words  | 3 Pages

    This understanding marks the last shift in the essay. Steele is more sure of himself and his solution in this portion than earlier on in the text. This is perceived through diction like “we must” and “necessity” (610-611), these imperative words develop a strong opinion. This adds to the argument because an audience will tend to adhere to someone who is confident in themselves and what they are saying. Steele’s solution entails that people must begin to individualize themselves. As mentioned earlier, the black community became a singular people and although unification can be a positive idea, with unification comes division, which leads to seclusion. This is because unification occurs by a group sharing a common trait, however, there will always be those that do not have this trait and that is where division occurs and eventually seclusion is created. For this reason, Steele encourages his audience to move beyond “Race-as-identity”. He explains that individualization can be beneficial because it prevents general associations from being formed and without these associations people will feel less compelled to conform to them. Moreover, he wishes to rid society of the the victim-focused black identity because it “encourages the individual to feel that his advancement depends almost entirely of that group…[and] reimposes limitations that can have the same oppressive effect” (610). Writing “On Being Black and Middle Class” was Steele’s way to work through this issue that society has. Steele clarifies the issue and comes to the conclusion that the contradictory norms of being black and being middle class puts a strain on those who are both and the only way to lift this burden is for all of society to focus less on victimization and concentrate more on

  • Compare And Contrast A Lesson Before Dying

    1317 Words  | 3 Pages

    Segregation is the act of setting someone apart from other people mainly between the different racial groups without there being a good reason. The African American’s had different privileges than the white people had. They had to do many of their daily activities separated from the white people. In A Lesson Before Dying there were many examples of segregation including that the African American’s had a different courthouse, jail, church, movie theater, Catholic and public school, department stores, bank, dentist, and doctor than the white people. The African American’s stayed downtown and the white people remained uptown. The white people also had nicer and newer building and attractions than the African American’s did. They had newer books and learning tools compared to the African American’s that had books that were falling apart and missing pages and limited amount of supplies for their students. The African American’s were treated as if they were lesser than the white people and they had to hold doors and let them go ahead of them to show that they knew that they were not equal to them and did not have the same rights or privileges as they did just because of their race. In A Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass segregation is shown through both slavery and the free African American’s during this time. It showed that the African American’s were separated from the white people and not

  • Moynihan Negro Family

    1321 Words  | 3 Pages

    Moynihan perceives the inclusive problem amongst the black family to be its structure. This is a product of disintegration of nativism in the black community. The “racist virus” still flowing through the veins of American society hinders, in virtually all aspects, the progression of the Negro family. Moynihan discusses the normativity of the American family as a reason that people overlook the problems that occur in Negro and nonwhite families. He emphasizes the significance of family structure by stating “The family is the basic social unit of American life; it is the basic socializing unit.” (Moynihan, II 4). This assertion implies that due to the instability within the black family, socially, the Negro family would be unable to prosper. Because Moynihan feels the largest overall issue in the black family is structure it’s structure, he believes that it will only continue to disintegrate. To further his idea, Moynihan highlights the subdivisions of this structure: matriarchy, failure of youth, economic differences, alienation etc. Each of these subdivisions of family structure contributes to the overall issue Moynihan within the Negro family.

  • The Negro Speaks Of Blues Analysis

    In the poem, “Theme for English B” although the speaker is talking about a college student he is speaking for an entire race. He talks about segregation and inequality. “…and I come to the Y the Harlem Branch Y, where I take the elevator up to my room” (Lines 13-15). After years of slavery the blacks were still separated from white people and it was the majority of white people who wanted things this way. During this time blacks were largely discriminated against, they still had to fight for equal rights and fair treatment. However, in the poem he makes a very interesting statement. “Sometimes perhaps you don’t want to be a part of me. Nor do I want to be a part of you. But we are, that is true” (34-36). The speaker is humbly realizing and hoping that his white audience will understand that if not for one another, neither would be in the position that they are now in. Although whites were, “somewhat more free” (40) black and white people learned from each other, and continue to do

  • Disunification

    Classism has existed for many years within the Black community. It introduced its self to the slaves and has continued to reveal its self to Blacks well into the 21st century. Having a great presence within the Black community, classism has caused a disunification within the Black community. In the years of slavery the house Negro considered himself better than the field Negro. Today the middle-class black considers himself above the lower-class black. Both the house Negro and the middle-class black family have strived to disassociate themselves from those Blacks of lower status. Consequently, Blacks have suffered a great separation among their community.

    This division restricted black people from being able to vote, having medical care, education, or other public services, and if when, in rare cases these were possible, they still were of a lot inferior compared to what white people were entitled to. Not only Black people were thus deprived of their write as human beings, as persons, but what most suggested that they'd lost their identities is that all of them had to have an "identity book". This item, insert them into a system of figures, where each one of them wasn't identified by a name anymore, they were recognised and registered by a number. This is a very important issue of the play, in fact the focal point is to show us how irrelevant the name and the "identity" had become for those people.

    It is intricately devised in a way in which people’s backgrounds drastically alter how they perceive themselves within their groups as well as how they see their group as a whole. People see their race as one of the groups they assign themselves, however they are also, to an extent, assigned a race. Sociologists would say that within multiethnic societies such as America, the idea of race seems like a broader one because there is more visual distinction between races. However, in more homogeneous societies there may be just as many personally identified races through ideals such as colorism, but without being part of that society they may not be
