I  was and still is completely sad and angry  at the fact that theses trump supporters were acting so foolish over an election trump clearly lost. Why do they do what they do? Why do they idolize him? Some of them literally said that they would rather die than to accept that Biden is president like what? Oh and don’t even get me started on the security that was in that capital building. They literally let them him , decided that they wanted to take pictures with them and all . What happened on January 6 was just unfair. We all saw white privilege at its finest because if it was a POC they would have been pushed to the ground, shot before they could have gotten into the building.

Unamerica means something new that happen in the world will remain in the history. For example, white people choked and kill their white disabilities students or something that was so disturbing to people who never heard this. This is America means nothing had been changed in the history for centuries such as racism, hate crimes, etc. For example, people of color are still fighting for their rights to end police brutality, etc but they treated differently in last summer during BLM protest compared to white ppl during the attack at the  U.S. capital because of how the policing system are designed to. So for example, during the attack of  U.S. capital the police let all these trump supporters  in because they are white. There is no violence during the attack of the U.S. capital between the police and trump supports. Compared to  BLM protest during the summer, there is violence between polices and BLM protesters because of their skin color .   It so disgusting and disappointed. I wish there is violence between the police and trump suppporters during the day of the attack at U.S. capital like I wish police dress up as soldiers like heavily armed to trump supporters same thing to what happen during BLM protest because it would be fair if they would do that to trump supporters. And the policing system can be equal to all race if they can change the policing system, not just one race like black people but it should be included white people and all of race. To be treated fairly.

# data[].attributes.body
If someone just said “This is not America”. My respond to this comment “Just read it again then come back with different answer and explain what is this history about.. something that is related to civil war or civil rights movement.” This is still America because everything from centuries to right now, nothing changed. The reasons are the hate crime still exist such racist cops, hate signs like nazi on Jewish graves, racist toward to Asian community, etc. So many hate crimes we all experienced. I do not like white rage because they are uneducated, so disgusting plus I do not want to hear that word. White rage are similar to white supremacy. White rage is a violence of a white person who abused other people power. For example, when a normal white person see Jewish people, gay people, people of color, people with disabilities, people with different background such as religion, race, sexuality, ethnicity, etc. That white person would just screamed and calling slurs at you and beat and kill you up for born this way like nazi and white supremacy. That what it triggers them, got it? Never again for the Jewish holocaust. Millions of Jewish people died from Holocaust in concentration camps because of their religion. Black people was enslaved because of their skin color. People with disabilities got killed for born this way from nazi. So many hate in one holocaust. Please educated yourself to be taught to love, not hate. And don’t judge by their appearance by Martin Luther king JR his dreams. No place for hate, learn to respect and love to one another.

# data[].attributes.body
From what I learned, nothing changed over the centuries. All POC is still fighting for their rights and want to be treated fairly same as white people does. That event just happened in U.S. capital is similar to what happen in 1898 Wilmington massacre. It truly hurt my heart when I heard and watch it. It like upsetting me. Never happen again and we need to change it so there is no more hate toward people of color, religion, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say this violence is American because people all through out history fight for the most selfish and little reasons whether it be because of the government or not, and even though it's not good to fight like this, in America people just can't get along because there is always something new to fight about.

It’s 2 different things because being pro black means to support your culture and speak up and stand up for it. Being anti white has nothing to do with that. You can stand up for something like that without hating white people

# data[].attributes.body
The phrase “to protect and to serve” your community means to me that cops are supposed to do their duty and stand up for this community and make us feel safe. And protect us. But they don’t stand up to that word. They make us feel scared and uneasy. They only make white people feel safe and that’s the truth.

# data[].attributes.body
To be black in America it means that you have to always be more careful and you are always worrying. Because it’s the sad truth but when you are black in America you can get killed for holding an Arizona bottle and a sandwich and it can get “mistaken” As a gun. You can be as innocent as a baby and you could still get killed. Because of the color of your skin.

This is America because every time people don't agree with the government there would always be violence involved and people doing anything they get to change the government that will benefit them.

No being pro blac is not the same as being anti white  because appreciating your culture root and apeaking up for your cultures does not automatically equate to you being prejudice against white people.Simply uplifting one another and bringing problems like inequality, systemic rasicm and much more to the serface does not come at any other race at all. You are standing up for the rights and equality for black people, so there is not reason the to should be related just because the spotlight is not always on white people does not mean someone is trying to be against them or spew hate.People with that mindset need to have self correction and stop making everything about them.Rasicm and inequality in any form should not be normalized but because people are bringing light to the fact that this is not normal and begins to break the cycle somehow it is "anti-white" th that doesnt make anysense.Then commonly want to hit people with the reverse card like yes pro white is anti black because what inequality do you face or what type of rasicm or oppression you faced.Nothing of a sort.i rest my case

it is hard to define who you are sometimes becuase you may not know or notice many qualities traits or personalities about your ownself or yu may just start to begin to find out who you are truly as a person. It may not be so simple because maybe you dont ant to reveal some qualities about yourself.In the end your actions will honestly speak much louder then what you say, so they would see for themselves.

The way I would respond to someone who says "This type of violence is not America"". Well, you're completely wrong. This is the same America we all saw enslave African Americans. This is the same America that experienced events such as the Wilmington Massacre of 1898. This is the same America that has made people feel unsafe because of their skin color, race, religion, ethnicity and etc. This is the same violent and ruthless America there was years ago, decades ago, centuries ago. This is not different. That it's now a silent and more subtle violent, racist and unfair America compared to decades ago is probably the only difference here.

# data[].attributes.body
I would respond saying that this type of violence IS America. The reason it's seen as "un-American" is because the history of this country is not shown nor taught. However, if you really research, you'll see that this isn't first time anything similar to the Capitol attack has happened. That's the way we are. We use violence to get what we want and then we sugar-coat it. This type of violence is perfectly American, according to our past.

Being Pro-Black is not the same as being Anti-White because you can like something without hating on another thing. So basically you don't have to hate white people just to like black people, you can like both at the same time just like one more then the other. Also Pro means like and Anti means against so saying Anti-White means you're generalizing all white people and you're against all of them.

I still and will remain feeling shocked, frustrated and very upset over the events that took place on January 6th, in the U.S capitol. The damage done and encouraged by trump and done by his supporters is irreparable. They deserve to face the consequences of their actions. It was uncalled for. And to call it a revolution? What kind of revolution is that? It's no where near a revolution. To be childish and disrespectful enough because a person who doesn't deserve to be president for another 4 years lost? It's unbelievable how a lot of peaceful BLM protests were paid back with violence because they were protesting for THEIR LIVES, because THEY FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS COUNTRY, while in the other hand and in comparison to the event that took place on January 6th, the people who stormed the U.S capitol almost looked like they were welcomed into the building and welcomed outside the building after all the rioting, disaster they caused. I think we can all surely agree and see how this is all unfair.

Nothing challenged or changed what I knew. However, that did confirmed that people, no matter what, will do whatever it takes for them to get what they want even if they know what they’re doing is immorally wrong. The storm of the Capitol also showed that most Trump Supporters will only ever “back the blue” or say “all lives matter” when it’s against a BLM movement or anything similar. You can clearly hear all of them disrespecting the police. These were the same people who swore that they would always be for cops. It’s honestly disgusting and aggravating.

What I personally think “being black in America” means is to get treated differently then others, being excluded out of certain things. Having to go through a certain struggle that others don’t normally go through. I know we all go through our trials but I think black people have been going through most things than all and everything Kinda started with us. Being black in American is to be prepared for the challenging theses that might come our way. Being black in America means constantly being targeted for no reason ... being hated on.

"To Protect and To Serve", to me, means you put the people's interest above your own.

You have to make yourself feel safe because the people that should be making you feel safe, target and see black people as a threat just because their black. Being black is hard because as a kid you have to worry about being safe instead of worrying about watching your favorite show on time. You have to worry about knowing your rights instead of worrying about your toys. You have to worry about ever being targeted by authorities instead of worrying if you're going to finish your homework on time. You always have to at least have 1 eye awake and be aware of your surroundings.

For prompt 2, I agree what Du Bois's thoughts about black identity in the US because it good to use the code switch to make themselves feel good at their own space to express their feelings to other people of color.  It helps them to be proud of being black in America.

It's hard to define who we are because a lot of people like to judge people on how they look and they bring down people who they don't agree with, so it's difficult to fully express yourself without being judged because there's always someone out there who doesn't agree with you.

how we look  sometime it can be hard is because someone can look better or dress up better and you don't it can be hard but just because we've lost way doesn't mean that we are lost forever. In the end, it's not the failures that define us so much as how we respond.

This is a really good question. I would have to agree with Yulessa & Brittany ... it all depends on the person & their standards. Why does this person want to wear a mask & how is it benefiting them? There’s at least multiple groups here. On one hand we have the people who would do anything possible to hide their identity, probably because they’re terrified of the society & what they would think. Then we have the people who hides who they really are because they want Revenge, payback or just to torture people for fun which in fact isn’t. Don’t forget the fact that some people love their true identity so I think In that case they wouldn’t try to cover up who they truly are. I could go more in depth but let’s go no further. In conclusion, Yes. I would say mask do hide who we really are but it doesn’t matter if we have a actual mask or not. It could be makeup for a cover up or just putting on an act.

# data[].attributes.body
It’s so hard to define who we are because of the society. Yes, I’m gonna blame it on the society because the society plays a major role in our identity. I mean, not all of us find it hard to define ourselves but the majority of us. Some of us think that we have to be someone who fits the society standards in order to be liked & favored. It’s a very very complicated task in order to find out your true identity. Some of us are so caught up in this “I have to do things in order to be accepted by people” mindset. We care about others opinions which is truly sad because it’s okay to be different. We need to start normalizing that.

I think it's hard to define/not be ashamed of who we are because society has slowly throughout the years, made beauty standards or just standards in general of how you should act, look, etc. We've not only heard but unknowingly have learned what's "normal" and how stuff should be. We have observed what society has called "pretty" or "ugly". And because of that we fear to be judged and not accepted. Nowadays people don't usually do physical or internal changes because they want to and because they want to improve for THEIR own good, but they change themselves because they've slowly been pushed to do changes to be "accepted", "pretty" or "normal.

# data[].attributes.body
It's hard to define who we are, because we always hesitate when something about us is different, since we don't want to feel embarrassed/ashamed for being different.
