While continuing to read this article I also found out how not only do Black women face these crazy behaviors and the bitter environments. They also receive a fraction of the pay that others receive in the workforce, even when the other workers have less experience. In last year’s presidential campaign, there was a big discussion of the gender pay gap, and come to find out women who work all year long by doing full-time jobs earn around 79 percent of what men earn. I also learned about how Black women face the punishments of both a gender gap and a race gap. The pay for Black women not only straggles behind men but also behind white women as well. I would’ve never thought that Black women earn close to 80 percent of what white women earn.]]> 2018-01-09 13:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219721763 Damari Jones https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219721771 Title: 

Killings of Black Men by Whites are Far More Likely to be Ruled “Justifiable”

'' When a white person kills a black man in America, the killer often faces no legal consequences.'' 
“Tell me that it doesn’t factor in if the person is black when they're approaching the suspect,” Vilos said. “It contributes to the decision to pull the trigger because of the fear associated with the stereotype.”

“Right or wrong, that’s what’s happening, in my opinion,” he said.

Based on this article this is something that I felt like i knew was going on and the data shows for itself. Many whites are able to kill blacks with no consequence and even if there is flat out evidence of guilt.

At worst, media outlets amplified those inaccurate depictions for political and financial gain. Such reporting reinforces debunked narratives, helping to justify actions from police brutality to economic policies that will hurt not just black families but all families for generations."
This shows how the media portrays black families and people, and has a lot of racial bias in what they represent in their coverage.

 Additionally, the news media habitually reinforced the myth that black fathers are less involved in their children’s lives. We found that photos and videos in the study showed black mothers, white mothers and white fathers interacting with their children at the same rate. Black fathers, however, were shown with their children half as often, and the news media regularly perpetuated the conventional wisdom that missing black fathers explain social inequity. On “CNN Tonight,” for example, conservative commentator Larry Elder said, “The primary problem with the black community in this country is absentee fathers.” 

This is a myth that should not be spread as the truth. This article surprised me. It surprised me that they could keep spreading this and support terrible things, like police brutality. ]]> 2018-01-09 13:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219722363 Jamal Boyd jamalboyd https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219722586 "The football field-hands threatened to withhold their labor in solidarity with students fed up with the administration’s indifference to systemic racism. Somebody drew a swastika in human excrement on a dorm wall; students walking on campus got called “nigger.” Yet the school’s president, Timothy M. Wolfe, felt no apparent urgency in addressing these issues."

The football players are being taken advantage of by the coaches and the people in the community. The people of the community are just doing whatever they want and football players need to put a stop to it by protesting. ]]> 2018-01-09 13:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219722586 Kaia Weaver : kaiaweaver https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219722617 "The reason for hair and dress codes, argue some South African educators, is that personal expression can take the focus away from learning. Uniforms are ubiquitous in schools across the country. And when it comes to hair, educators insist on neatness — a standard many of them have defended as race-neutral"
I feel I can somewhat relate to this being that we have a dress code here at Cedar Shoals. We cant wear certain clothes because theyre a "distraction", I understand not being able to wear a few things just because some stuff is inapportiate for school. But I believe its unfair. ]]> 2018-01-09 13:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219722617 Jackie Gonzalez jacquelinegonza1 https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219722775 "The whole encounter on Thursday night had been based on a hoax: There had been no shooting before the police arrived, no hostages, no threat of arson. Instead, it was a fatal incarnation of "swatting", in which people report fake crimes in hopes of getting a SWAT team to raid a rival's house." 

This encounter was very tragic because like the police had reported, there was no shooting or hostages. The victim heard movement outside of his doorstep and when he opened the door to investigate he was shot. The victim's mother said "That cop murdered my son over a false report." in an interview with The Eagle. ]]> 2018-01-09 13:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219722775 Rasun McCaleb:How the news media distorts black families rasunmccaleb https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219723105 "the news media habitually reinforced the myth that black fathers are less involved in their children’s lives."

This quote shows how the media portrays black fathers as absent in the bulk of there kids lives.Personally I thought this was true to based of tv,movies, and a handful of my friends, but this is a stereotype that is very untrue considering 67% of black fathers are absent and 59% of white fathers are absent, that's not a big gap.Furthering this stereotype is earlier studies saying 77% of black fathers were absent and only 38% of white fathers were absent .Wow I wonder how the gap went from almost 40% to 8% in a matter of years?]]> 2018-01-09 13:58:43 UTC https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219723105 Ken Johnson Article: Black America’s progress misjudged by all extremes https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219724345 "Black Americans are healthier, freer, safer, more educated and less excluded than in years past."

I believe this is true because blacks are now doing bigger things in life, they are now in higher positions. Compared to back then blacks are living much longer than past years, because there's less violence between black on black crime.]]> 2018-01-09 14:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219724345 Jalen Johnson: Body Politics: Beyonce Teyana Taylor,and the Liberation of Black Women Through Dance jalenjohnson2 https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219725068 "It's important for me to set an example of what a healthy image is,what a ballerina can be

this quote explain how women dance and how people judge black women by  how they dance and it also tells how African American women like Misty has became the first black ballerina in the American History. Black women have use dance to reclaim their space and reconceptualize their sexuality.

"Nobody knows how to identify you. Meeting a mixed race for the untrained eye is often akin to meeting an alien, because to them, you look different and might not speak just as they anticipated. "

This is true because look at you funny cause they do not if you are black, white, or anything other race. And the way you speak affect that as well. ]]> 2018-01-09 14:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219725287 The Washington Post "How the News Media distorts black families" https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219733645 (Shania Goodman)

In this Article, it states that the news is inappropriately and inaccurately expressing that black fathers are not in the lives of their children even demonstrating  the statement within videos and photos.

I find this very disrupting because it's nothing but stereotypes. The media is trying to make all black fathers look bad.  ]]> 2018-01-09 14:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219733645 Siraj Palmer sirajpalmer https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219736361 “Members of the hip hop nation form an ‘imagined community’ that is based less on its realization through state formation than on a collective challenge to the consensus logic of U.S. nationalism” ]]> 2018-01-09 14:20:39 UTC https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219736361 Tihreney "Black Women Artists Tackle The Dangerous Stereotypes That Have Never Defined Them" https://padlet.com/johnsonll/a6fyrzxg0921/wish/219737409 Imagine having slightly bigger assets than everyone else, and then getting told to cover them up because you're being inappropriate or because you're distracting your classmates or coworkers. But a white woman with less curves can wear the same thing and get praised for looking good. 
Imagine speaking up against an injustice that's facing you and getting called an "angry black women". Not being able to speak up against anything without being called angry and ghetto. 

In today's society black women are expected to silence their voice. We are scared to speak up against anything because we don't want to be put in the "ghetto" generalization that we already have pinned against us. Media has portrayed us as loud and "ghetto" in almost every movie that has been released in the 21st century. Our race started to settle in this stereotype, believing that we are that way. It's to the point where, if we act slightly different or don't use speak in Ebonics, we're told that we're acting white.
