Basically the world is seen through white people eyes and makes it a white wold so we as black people wouldn't really know what they come from fo real for real.]]> 2020-10-02 17:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/ri9112b0f3jcbd08/wish/798441478 tpreno https://padlet.com/wvweaver/ri9112b0f3jcbd08/wish/798445022 The article connects to double consciousness because it touches on the topic of some people not wanting to be referred to as African American and rather just be called black. Which is them not accepting their African side which is apart of them. This shows that they view being African negatively because of how it is presented to us in paragraph 3 it states "Today we still view Africa as a “Dark Continent” which is filled with misery, poverty, and starvation, but this was not always the case." ]]> 2020-10-02 17:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/ri9112b0f3jcbd08/wish/798445022 kjcampbell11 https://padlet.com/wvweaver/ri9112b0f3jcbd08/wish/798445187 In paragraph 6 of my article it states "Enslaved Africans were forced to substitute drums with hand clapping and feet tapping because slave “masters” banned drums". With this specific part, someone is stripping apart of their culture and replacing it with something else so they can be up. They as in slave masters felt that Africans can use the drums as a form of communication, like another language. Also in paragraph 6 it states "n several African communities after learning they could be used as an obscure form of communication.". This connects with the previous statement, this was a form of double consciousness because in their culture they had different ways of communication.]]> 2020-10-02 17:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/ri9112b0f3jcbd08/wish/798445187 JaiyaTurner https://padlet.com/wvweaver/ri9112b0f3jcbd08/wish/798446346 The article overall gives the impression of uncertainty with people knowing where they are from and what makes them who they are. In paragraph 7 it talks about educational systems talk about France and Britain while Africa and African areas are still misinformed or ignored. They focus on European culture making that the normal so people try to put themselves in that group or feel as if they are not apart of anything. That's how the article connects to double consciousness.]]> 2020-10-02 17:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/ri9112b0f3jcbd08/wish/798446346 https://padlet.com/wvweaver/ri9112b0f3jcbd08/wish/798446536 "African Americans have a fragile identity.

In paragraph 1 it states,¨The slave masters stripped Africans of their names, their languages, their culture and customs, and of their history. Not only this, but Africa has always been depicted as a negative place filled with savages and cannibals.¨ Also in paragraph 6 it states, ¨I think one of the reasons why so many African people living in the United States and the Caribbean do not like thinking of themselves as African is because of the collective ignorance that many of us still have about our African roots and why those roots are important.¨]]> 2020-10-02 17:10:09 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/ri9112b0f3jcbd08/wish/798447318 rboyd101 https://padlet.com/wvweaver/ri9112b0f3jcbd08/wish/798447782 To begin with, in paragraph 2 it's stated that "There was a situation a few years ago in which a student of Jamaican descent requested her teacher not to refer to her or any of the other students as African Americans since they are not from Africa." I think this is an example of Double Consciousness because these students are observing that the label African American constantly comes with negative stereotypes and discrimination, hence their avoidance of it.

When your inception as a people begins with you in chains, it greatly affects how you see yourself.” also stated in paragraph 2, “ Concurrently, non-black historians and anthropologists have been imposing their opinions and assessments on OUR history, while having complete autonomy over THEIRS.
