The wave of violence that we see in the film is inaccurately represented according to Richard White, It’s Your Misfortune and None of My Own where he states that “during the peak years of cattle towns, the average number of homicides was only 1.5 a year from each town.” However, the films representation is the opposite since the narrator depicts murder rates higher than modern day Los Angeles or New York and the opening scene is of the film is a gun fight which results in murders including a catholic priest which is caused by the cowboys. Another example of this exaggerated violence occurs in both films. In My Darling Clementine when Earp and his brother first arrive in town an Indian man named Indian Charlie is
There were still many instances in “Righteous Dopefiend” where many of the Edgewater homeless called the blacks no good thieves and scoundrels never to be trusted, even without any reason to do so. As soon as he returned from the hospital, Max, one of the whites at Edgewater, moved to the site at the Dockside Bar & Grill as soon as he saw the blacks in the encampment under the I-beam (Bourgois & Schonberg 2009). This shows how racism kept the people in Edgewater apart, which prevented them from establishing inter-racial relationships. The one exception to this was the relationship between Al and Sonny, which
As expressed by Dr. Leary, most African Americans seem to have internalized a sense of shame and believe that they are not good enough. An individual with such low self-esteem and self-worth ability to function in society is therefore lessened. This internalized sense of shame led most black people to look down on their own appearance. When an individual has strong black features such as a big nose, full lips, defined facial structure, kinky hair and dark skin, they are generally not considered attractive by other blacks. Dating back to slave days, when the lighter skinned slaves (women) were used as house slaves and darker skinned slaves were sent to work outdoors.
Activity 1 Derrick Bird committed Mass Murder through Cumbria on 2nd June 2010. From the evidence it seems as if the reason for this spree was money related, his father had recently deceased and he wanted everything in his will killing his brother and his lawyer. He was also going through a tax investigation at the time. His motive seems to be personal at first mixed with financial and then turns into a mental disturbance as he kills those at random. His first 3 victims experienced high levels of risk as he specifically targeted them and the rest were of low risk as they had not done wrong or even know Bird.

Most of the African Americans were just slaves to the Whites. The African Americans didn’t usually have any say in their lives because they were unequal to the Whites. The African Americans were forced to sharecrop because they could not afford their own land. Their pay was less than minimal. The African Americans were treated unfairly and they were the first group of people that were laid off during any economic downturn.
Before the Civil war ended, African Americans were treated unequally even though slaves were literally emancipated. At the period where the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was set, niggers were known to be uneducated, liars, and any negative comments the white masters could ever think of. They were not considered to be human nor were they having any rights. Rather, they were thought to be goods by merchants, washing machines by masters, or even toys by children. Most Africans in America at that period had extremely low self-esteem, believing they were inferior to the white Americans, and suffered from work and the separation of their families.
when a female would see him, she would not make eye contact and grab her purse tightly. This is done because of a stereotypical black male walking at night must mean he is up to no good. Much less to say women these days are getting mugged and raped more than ever so they have a right to be aware of their surroundings. Stereotyping is sadly carried on throughout generations. Stereotypes get tossed around within society even to this day.
