Jim was a slave who also wanted to escape his 'society', which was slavery. Huck understood that slavery was an institution created by society but he wasn't against it. He became friends with Jim in spite of him being a slave. With Huck escaping he knew that there would be no consequences if Jim were to be caught because he would be gone if that point in time were to come. It was his safeguard - that he was leaving. ]]> 2021-01-22 00:31:21 UTC https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112503002 Jim 20090224 https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112514595 Jim was a friend to Huck but a slave.

When he decides that is what he is going to do the men ask if he has any men on his boat and if they are black or white. Huck goes to speak but simply cannot utter the words.]]> 2021-01-22 00:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112519260 Minority vs. Majority 20090224 https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112533286 Blacks and POC are labeled as the 'minority' for they are the percentage of people who do not make up the majority. But who makes up the majority? Whites are the majority and for years whites have been the majority and they have taken power for so long that society developed white privilege. Where whites are treated differently from Blacks or POC. ]]> 2021-01-22 00:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112533286 The power was instilled in whites when Slavery was created. Slavery was a group of people who were discriminated against due to their skin color forced to work and do labor. 20090224 https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112546929 From the beginning one group had power over the other. The BLM protests were the voices that were ignored from day one, the voices begging for freedom and equality, a chance to finally be treated the same. ]]> 2021-01-22 01:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112546929 BLM 20090224 https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112559148 The protests were a way to get everyone to listen, it seemed as if everyone in the free world was in support of these Protests, and the ones who weren't, showed their discrimination against POC and weather or not they liked it made it known to the world. ]]> 2021-01-22 01:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112559148 The Minority is no longer the Minority, it is the Majority, the Majority of people who want a change and want to be treated equally after all the abuse through slavery up until unequal pay and discrimination now, it has gone on for too long and the world needs to change.

THEN 20090224 https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112576057 - In Huckleberry Finn, Huck was taught/forced by Widow Douglas to learn the ways of society and to learn his Manners, which meant going by a list of rules of how to act, speak and behave as a young boy. He didn't like that, he wanted to be rid of society and its unspoken rules. 
    - Today as a society and as a whole we are working to become as one, equal, efficient society, based on change for the good. Starting off with equality, not everyone is on the same page but I think that we all can agree we want a world and society who loves, cares, and is equal amongst everyone.

Huck at first was immature and wanted to stay immature and not act the way society wanted, so he planned to escape society. But you cannot escape society, it lives in all the light and dark places in the world. No matter how hard Huck could or would try he would never be able to escape, only to change society. ]]> 2021-01-22 01:36:59 UTC https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112603344 Huck when asked if there was anyone black on the raft he made up his mind that it was time to give Jim up. But when the time came to answer he was quiet, not able to speak. 20090224 https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112622057 Maybe it was his conscious or it was his morals coming into check, he couldn't give up his friend whether he was black or not. ]]> 2021-01-22 01:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112622057 You cannot run from society , for everyone is apart of it and since we are all apart the best we can do is make everyone feel included without the standards of how to be a women or man 20090224 https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112679873 2021-01-22 02:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112679873 "whites are taught to think of their lives as morally neutral, normative, and average, and also ideal, so that when we work to benefit others, this is seen as work that will allow"them" to be more like "us." " 20090224 https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112750319 Peggy Mcltosh wrote this stating that whites are taught to live life in a certain way so that we can teach "them" to be more like "us". White privilege was taught to other whites instilled in their teachings to make everyone comfortable, or white people more comfortable. Within these teachings some whites look down on blacks and poc and believe poc have to learn from them.

The fact that whites were uncomfortable with blacks being free and equal and still saw them as less. Believed they were less worthy of jobs and certain neighborhoods that segregation occurred without slavery or oppression but these people were still oppressed, and still are today. ]]> 2021-01-22 03:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112754998 The conversation was started on why slavery was wrong and what justifies discrimination and the answer is nothing justifies it. 20090224 https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112757660 We are supposed to be uncomfortable for POC are not comfortable and some are scared to do basic things that whites do everyday, as going to a retail clothing store, grocery shopping, driving a car, etc. Everyday is uncomfortable and scary for many POC so all we can do now is stand together unpack our white privilege and do better. Equality is a couple hundred years too late, and we need a change in equality and recognition.]]> 2021-01-22 03:35:18 UTC https://padlet.com/20090224/e41p3tmyyh4c5dud/wish/1112757660
