Martin Luther King gave many speeches about racism and how people should not be judged by the colour of their skin, but on the basis of their character. Days later after he presented some of his speeches, his relatives’ houses were lit on fire and were completely destroyed by rebellions. His relatives begged him to stop but he did not listen but continued and kept persevering. Since Louis Riel had given the Provisional Government permission to arrest and kill Thomas Scott, he was labelled as a criminal and was issued a warrant
Therefore, the black community in Maycomb was crippled with fear. A fear that they will get lynched for a crime they did not commit. Stereotyping is a human instinct. We will always stereotype people's race, class and families. When Aunt Alexandra lived with the Finches, she said this to Scout about the Cunninghams, "Because he is trash, that's why you cant play with him.
Civilians are forced to own guns to feel secure and protected. Therefore, owning guns may create many more unsafe situations that might put innocent citizens in danger. For many, Michael Brown's case is one of the many examples of why there is little trust between minority groups and police forces. As per Republican Senator of Kentucky Rand Paul, African-American citizens do not feel respected by police. Additionally, African-Americans are convinced that police treat blacks and whites differently.
Herbert informs his audience that many americans are unaware of ethnic profiling and its negative effects. I agree with herberts article that ethnic profiling is a big issue in the united states and needs to be stopped. The idea of racial profiling is completely immoral and should not be tolerated. The law promises the equality of everyone and law enforcement officals should not be allowed to practice this act. Individuals,blacks,and hispanics in this case are often profiled by law enforcement officers because there more likely to commit crimes.
They feared Richard, and some of the white people felt it necessary to act out their racist feelings in order to cover up their fear. White coworkers beat Richard because his boss was kind to him. Richard later had to leave a good job because those racist co-workers would “kill” him. When the principal at Richard’s school had asked Richard to give a speech to a large audience of white and black people, Richard refused to read the principal’s prepared speech. By reading the principal’s speech, Richard was saying what the white power wanted him to say and to Richard this would be giving in to the very thing he hated so much.
When Tom was accused of rape, this was the most racist point in the book to me. The people of Maycomb automatically labeled him as guilty. If I were in his position I would have wanted to fight back. Atticus Finch, a local lawyer and one of the main characters, is appointed as Tom’s lawyer. He is almost completely shunned from the town because he is trying to help a black man accused of rape.
The gang had been so used to preying on African Americans. When they rob the African Americans within the community the cops have no concern for it. Due to the fact they were robbing a Caucasian they would be doing something new and challenging. He told his friends that they should use guns instead. Bigger was really scared but he couldn't admit this for his friends.
Second reason is people use them in the wrong way. People use them to scare other people, rob people, pistol whip people and to fit in with the crowed. This is not good reasons to use a gun. Guns are meant to protect your self in an emergency situation. That is why we have so many different deaths in the world now because people are not using them responsibly.
Some of these groups and people included ‘Malcolm X’, Rosa Parks, and ‘The Black Panthers’. Malcolm X saw King’s campaign as trying to persuade the African American citizens to forget the days of slavery, and forget what the white men had done to their people. His stance was passive/aggressive and wanted equality by any means, including violence. Malcolm X was assassinated by a white supremacist during a speech and died of bullet wounds. Also, ‘The Black Panthers’ were a very violent group and saw King’s campaign as time consuming and feared it being forgotten in the process.
Lady Elliot’s very close lived near them and help with kids by giving them guidance and support. Lady Russell was the widow of a knight and became close friends with Sir Walter but they did not marry. She was well provided for and had no reason to remarry, but Sir Walter didn’t want a new wife for his daughters’ sake. He would do anything for his eldest daughter Elizabeth who was sixteen and very much like him. His other two daughters weren’t so important to him.
