In the beginning of the novel, Justyce experiences abuse specifically from a police officer. He helps his ex-girlfriend, Melo, as she is drunk and attempting to drive. When noticed by a police officer, Justyce is arrested simply because of his race. Although his intentions are to help Melo, the officer assumes he is up to no good because of the racism within the society. ]]> 2018-12-13 16:29:32 UTC https://padlet.com/eliaddison7/nh0ezlv8rq1/wish/314333799 eliaddison7 https://padlet.com/eliaddison7/nh0ezlv8rq1/wish/314339228 Because Michael is black and in Alabama while playing football other teams call him slurs and assume that he can't do anything because he hasn't had the same opportunities as white people in the community ]]> 2018-12-13 16:39:08 UTC https://padlet.com/eliaddison7/nh0ezlv8rq1/wish/314339228 eliaddison7 https://padlet.com/eliaddison7/nh0ezlv8rq1/wish/314341177 Dear Martin and Dear White People are similar because in both the white people in the story don't understand the severity of situations for POC Blake doesn't see a big deal with saying the n word and dressing like a Klansman and The Frat doesn't see the big deal with having a party just for black face]]> 2018-12-13 16:42:31 UTC https://padlet.com/eliaddison7/nh0ezlv8rq1/wish/314341177 eliaddison7 https://padlet.com/eliaddison7/nh0ezlv8rq1/wish/314342829 Dear White People and the Blindside are similar because people in both situations assume that the characters are lesser because they are black, People assumed that both Michael and  Samantha are thugs even though they are both kind and passionate about what they do, and they are both great students but not seen as such because of the color of their skin]]> 2018-12-13 16:45:54 UTC https://padlet.com/eliaddison7/nh0ezlv8rq1/wish/314342829 gaowens22 https://padlet.com/eliaddison7/nh0ezlv8rq1/wish/314347305 Dear Martin and The Blindside are similar because they both cover instances in which white people are more privileged than black people because of racism. Michael was born in a poor community and had a difficult time because of it. The white characters in the film are extremely wealthy and treated with respect. In Dear Martin, white characters, such as Melo, are treated with more respect than black characters, due to racism within the society. ]]> 2018-12-13 16:53:40 UTC https://padlet.com/eliaddison7/nh0ezlv8rq1/wish/314347305
