He shows how racism works through the control exploitation and manipulation of the black body resulting in the fragility of the black body in a racist society. Coates brings back how the black body came to be so fragile by bringing up colonialism and slavery. He describes how the black body was turned into an object with a monetary value. He also describes the black body as something that could very easily be lost. He further adds on to his argument by saying the places where he grew up and other people like him grew up it was not easy to remain with your body. His upbringing was not pleasant and he thinks people like him should not have to grow up and live like this where you can lose your body.]]> 2019-03-25 15:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jshaw46/5jxsnmx6nspi/wish/344887544 https://padlet.com/jshaw46/5jxsnmx6nspi/wish/344889013 Ta-Nehisi Coates book "Between The World and me" is written as a letter for the author's teenage son named Samori. He talks about the feelings, symbolism and realities of being a black person in the United States. Throughout the book, Coates, describes the black body as as a beautiful and powerful vessel that has been in chains for centuries and treated with oppression by its own people(the whites)."Never forget that for 250 years black people were born into chains-whole generations who knew nothing but chains." What Coates means when he refers to the idea of losing his own body, is that he fears being taken advantage or even killed by the system of the United Sates, like his ancestors and the victims who were killed in tragic police brutality events, like Prince Jones and Michael Brown sadly did. He fears the system of his own country where he "must only be violent to protect himself", or else. So sum it all up, when Coates refers to losing his body, he means being taken down and oppressed by society.]]> 2019-03-25 15:52:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jshaw46/5jxsnmx6nspi/wish/344889013 https://padlet.com/jshaw46/5jxsnmx6nspi/wish/344890762 All in the book,Coates describes the black body in the eyes of white people,He tells his son that they are not seen as equals,also that the world is built by black bodies.The book states on page (105 )"You and I,my son,are that "below".That was true in 1776.It is true today."]]> 2019-03-25 15:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jshaw46/5jxsnmx6nspi/wish/344890762 https://padlet.com/jshaw46/5jxsnmx6nspi/wish/344892331 Coates defines and describes the black body as something that needs to be protected and not taken over by other people who want to hurt it.]]> 2019-03-25 15:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jshaw46/5jxsnmx6nspi/wish/344892331 https://padlet.com/jshaw46/5jxsnmx6nspi/wish/344896993 through the whole book Coates defines and describes the black body as expendable.

When Coates refers to the idea of losing his own body he means like loosing his dignity , his rights , and himself as a person by not taking care of himself . He basically doesn't want black people to lose their body by polices mostly . Their taking advantage of these kids just to do it on there own . So he tells his son don't let anyone hurt you in your own body or don't let them take advantage of you because of your color .]]> 2019-03-25 17:48:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jshaw46/5jxsnmx6nspi/wish/344948915
