This inspires us in many ways. In addition, his accomplishment erases all the stereotypes for black people to have the excuse of “The white man wouldn’t let me”. Even today in his 2nd term in office, Barack has experienced the extreme racism and criticism of maybe any black political and social leader. What inspires me most about Barack Obama is even through all that, he still keeps faith in God and in his country that one day we could all live in peace as citizens and brothers. I attend Raymore-Peculiar high school where I am a junior.
Is the BCS fair? Again Bill Hancock argues heavily that it cannot get fairer than the BCS. Central to his argument in defense of the BCS is Hancock’s interview with Gary Patterson, the head football coach of Texas Christian University (TCU). TCU is a smaller school than most would expect to be against the BCS, but Hancock highlights Patterson’s support for the system. Hancock quotes an ESPN interview with Patterson saying, “We had a vision nine years ago of reaching a BCS bowl and going to a national championship.
His opinion is mixed because although he accepts the society’s idea of Jim being a slave he still respects him. His acceptance of the society’s idea of Jim being a slave is shown when Huck addresses Jim as “Miss Watson’s nigger” (Twain, 17). By addressing Jim as such Huck is excepting society’s position on slavery without really having any experience with it himself. Huck’s acceptance is also shown when Jim brings up the idea of stealing his wife and children back, in which he responds “It most froze me to hear such talk” (Twain, 88). This shows his acceptance because he doesn’t see Jim as a person and he sees his children as someone else’s property, which he feels would be wrong to steal.
Having a black man doing such great things had given them hope that they can also become what they want. Being the first African American baseball player was a great opportunity for him because the world needs heroes to inspire others, define ideals, and evolve society. Jackie Robinson came from a broken background; however his childhood upbringing made him very humble. Jack Roosevelt Robinson was born in Cairo, Georgia in 1919 to a family of sharecroppers. His mother Mallie Robinson single handedly raised him and her four other children while his father left the family to look for work in Texas when Jackie was just a baby.
Along with the laws comes outrage from the white families of Alexandria; especially after the implementation of a law that combined the white school and the black school into one. There is a coaching change on the football team that comes along with the school change; a new African American coach, Coach Boones, is given the head coach job at the new school instead of the Hall of Fame coach, Coach Yoast, that is currently there. There is much indignation about this seemingly unfair change that takes
It is the only time he thinks of what he has left behind. Also the reason why he laughs is that He discovers he does not look like his brothers, because they are shapeless, formless, and downtrodden while he is thin, strong, and lithe. He is hard and strong and concludes that he can trust himself and has nothing to fear of his own company. 8. The uncharted forest symbolizes our society being burned and hidden in the leafs it symbolizes free thought action and freedom in general. Here is where equality opens up and sees his reflection and sees he looks much better than his brothers and he can become scientifically greater to. 9.
How Hosseini uses the motif of black in the book The Kite Runner to explain the books main idea, is how he consistently uses the motif when describing the luxuries that Baba and Amir have. He also uses the motif of black when talking about how admired Baba is. Hosseini uses Baba wrestling a black bear as an example of how people don't question him or what he does no matter how unbelievable the story is. The main idea of the book is to be happy with what you have, one day it could be gone. Black relates to being happy with what you have by Baba having all of his luxuries, and then one night losing it all when the Russians came into Kabul.
Dr. Bledsoe was the black administrator of his school, and becomes the narrator’s mentor.

The lack of words on the cartoon gives the audience a chance to elaborately analyze each leader and their work ethic as well as efforts. Martin Luther King Jr. is recognized for his brave yet evident contribution to better the country for African Americans sake as well as the people in general. The many achievements of Martin Luther King Jr. will never go unnoticed. President Barack Obama is highly favored amongst the black community for being the first African American male granted the opportunity, by a mostly white country, to make a change and push us even closer towards being equal all the way across the board. It has been said that he is admired by the white community as well for his constant struggle with trying to fix the mistakes of those that were in office before him while pleasing Americans and making things more beneficial for them (Caucasians) simultaneously.
