Her message about Racism was about how some people viewed her race in a scornful way/terrible way. 
The Paradox in the poem - Slavery is good but Racism is bad... - From her point of view and experiences of slavery was different from what it actually is because she was treated better... So she found Racism to be something more bad than slavery.  ]]> 2021-12-02 17:24:15 UTC https://padlet.com/dariosulzman1/27avbz3scvikbyz2/wish/1925701062 https://padlet.com/dariosulzman1/27avbz3scvikbyz2/wish/1930028207 She talks about slavery in a positive way that would appeal to the white readers and then talks about racism in a negative way- rebecca]]> 2021-12-06 00:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dariosulzman1/27avbz3scvikbyz2/wish/1930028207 https://padlet.com/dariosulzman1/27avbz3scvikbyz2/wish/1930318302 2021-12-06 03:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dariosulzman1/27avbz3scvikbyz2/wish/1930318302
