She tells a story about how she felt bad for a boy that would come around to get clothes and food from her family because he was poor. His family had nothing and so she looked at them to have nothing at all, no skills, no work. She then traveled to his house with her family and say that his brother had made a beautiful basket, she then realized his family is the same as hers just less fortunate than her own. She then traveled to the United States for college adn found herself rooming with an american woman who felt pity for her. The american woman thought she had nothing, thought she couldn’t speak english or use a stove. She immediately stereotyped her based on where she was from. Just because her skin was darker and she was from africa the american girl figured she had nothing. This relates to TEWWG because Janie had a hard time accepting her identity, let alone finding herself, and the african american girl felt the same way and the she realized she finally accepted her identity.

Many white people feel as though they are not privileged and that they live the same “easy” life as many black people, but this is not the case. Black people have been oppressed by white people for the longest time. White people used their “superiority” to oppress blacks. For example whites would report black people to the police for no legal reason and then police would shoot a colored person because they “feared for their life”. White privilege even became the normal, bandages were the color of white people's skin. This relates to TEWWG because after the hurricane deceased whites were built coffins and deceased blacks were thrown in a pit. White men ran the project to collect all the dead bodies and black men were forced to do the work for them.

Blackface: A Cultural History Of A Racist Art Form

# data[].attributes.body
Blackface was the theater “joke” that white actors would paint their face with black greasy paint that made african americans seem inhuman. White actors did this to make fun of and oppress black actors. Soon to follow black actors had no option but to follow the trend of blackface and act with the grease paint on their face. This idea of trying to find new ways to oppressed and make fun of blacks with no consequence is yet again called White Privilege. Blackface was just a new way for white people to act superior to blacks. This relates to the text of What is White Privilege, Really? because both talk about how whites oppressed blacks.

She compares her poem to a child in her stomach, says she's afraid white people will judge her and say the baby is not important, just as they did to her. She was taught she is too insignificant to be acknowledged. She says she has been “murdered” meaning that no one cares about her feelings or what she has to say. She says no one else cares about what she says then other blacks. She feels oppressed by white people because they don't care about her because she's black. She doesn't get to explain her feelings but white people can say anything they want. She is taught that she doesn't feel a thing and that she is not even human. All because she has been oppressed by whites. This relates to Blackface: A Cultural History Of A Racist Art Form because the goal of white people was to oppress the blacks with blackface.

Bryan Stevenson: We Need To Talk About An Injustice

# data[].attributes.body
Says that identity is very important, exactly how the woman from The Danger of a Single Story says, identity is very important. Power is dominated by a woman in a black household, most likely the oldest black woman, woman hold all the power is black families. With the power of identity you can do things that other people don't think they can do. Stevenson is trying to question the justice system and a lot if it has to do with blacks and the percent of blacks and children that are in prison. He says that america is the only country to be able to sentence 13 year old children to die in prison. He doesn’t question if people deserve to die for the crimes they’ve committed he questions if we have the right to kill them. He also says that in america many people don’t like to talk about their problems, and that relates to Janie in TEWWG because when she had a problem she never addressed it she always kept it to herself and took it to herself.

Mike Muse talks about how he grew up in a middle class, working family in Michigan. He talks about how he went to a good public school that was made from his town in michigan because they had a good economy from the automotive industry. He talks about how he flew first class to china for his job that he got from going to Michigan University and got many glasses of champagne on the flight as well as at the hotel. He then talks about a conversation he had with a friend when he  came back to New York and how he was treated much differently in the states then he was in China. His friend asked him if his flight there was crowded. He simply did not know the answer because he was flying first class. Another friend told him how he was sending his six year old daughter to private school for $30,000 a year. Mike was astonished because she was going to be learning things at six years old that he didn't learn until college, but $30,000 a year was what everyone was spending to send their child to a good school to get a good education. What he was trying to point out is that these children that come from high class families get their lives handed to them and that children from the lower class communities have to work hard to be able to even go to college. If you are from a low class family then there is not much offered for you, but when you are from a high class family the possibilities are endless and the chances aren’t the same for both types of people.

The wealth gap in the United States has come to an all time high. Whites have nearly 20 times the net worth of blacks. Blacks have about 53% less household median net worth from 2005 to 2009. Whites only have 16% less household median net worth from 2005 to 2009. One white American on average has the same net worth as 19 African Americans combined.

Social classes have always been a huge problem in American. Americans have been getting paid by their “social class” for many years now, but a social class is nothing more than a label based on where you live and wealthy or poor you are. The gap between the wealthy and middle class is almost as high as it was in the gilded age. Children that are born into high class families already have a financial advantage on others. Social class is directly correlated with race but 27.4% of blacks in American live in poverty.

Within our society we are looking at relative income, social position, and social status. In European countries there is no correlation between life expectancies of rich versus poor people, but in the United States the poorer the person is the less chance they have of living a long life. In America the top 20% richest people in america are 8.5 times richer than the poorest 20% of people in America, which is ultimately affecting the life expectancy, teenage birth rates, imprisonments, mental health including drug and alcohol addiction, and many more. Countries with the richest and poorest 20% closer to each other have a much lower chance for all those examples. They have no correlation between wealth and life expectancy and they have much lower scores for the rest. In conclusion the higher the income inequality the worse the index for health and social problems are.
