Comparing “White Man’s Burden” and “Baby Boy”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper comparing the films “White Man’s Burden” and “Baby Boy”. “White Man’s Burden” (1995) directed by Desmond Nakano, and “Baby Boy” (2001) directed by John Singleton, are two films which both tell the stories of unemployed lower class individuals who exist and try and live within a racial society. “White Man’s Burden” shows a very class restrictive racial society in which the director has reversed the class distinctions by portraying a time when America is dominated by African Americans in the conservative upper class and the lower class is dominated by poor whites. The main character, Louis Pinnock, loses his job and blames his white boss and seems to be a victim of society and his class. In “Baby Boy” however, which portrays the urban African American society which exists today, the main character, Jody, seems more a victim of his own doing and at first seems disinterested in improving his life style. “Baby Boy” shows the anger of the African Americans and also the violence which can occur but also portrays a more in depth sensitive look at the lower class without providing stark contrasts with the upper class.

Comparison of Discrimination and Assimilation of African and Native Americans: Minority Groups, Cultural Changes, Colonization, Immigration, and Relations with the Dominant Group
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing discrimination and assimilation of African and Native Americans. African Americans and Native Americans in the United States have experienced generations of discrimination and assimilation but from somewhat different perspectives. Native Americans were the most profoundly affected by colonization and were forced into minority group status and relocated by European whites who wanted the Native lands for their own needs similar to the minority group patterns in the theories of Robert Blauner. African Americans, on the other hand, have experienced two different forms of assimilation and discrimination in which those who were born here experienced legal segregation (until the 1960s Civil Rights Movements) in addition to discrimination and minority status based on “group inequity” in which the dominant group (white Anglo Europeans) believed African Americans to be inferior combined with “differential power” in which the dominant group was larger and had the resources to force the African Americans into minority status; ideas reflected in the theories of Donald L. Noel. African Americans are also comprised of immigrants who according to Blauner, made the decision to immigrate to the U.S. and therefore differ from those who were forced into minority status. Regardless of the origins of the Native Americans and African Americans, most sociologists agree that because they have been deemed “minority social races” they will continue to experience various forms of assimilation expectations and discrimination by the dominant group.

Creating a Black Nation
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper that purveys how Black Africans looked at their history of domination realized that this excluded them from participating in commerce. But the larger picture was one of diversity. Members of their community are spread around the planet, and this prevented them from forming a strong Black community. Leaders knew that if they did not change history, that the global community would continue to exclude and dominate them. Therefore, they began reclaiming their rightful place by achieving freedom from British rule in Africa, restructuring their communities in Africa, and by including Blacks from around the world in their reconstruction under the umbrella of 'Pan-Atlantic' and 'Pan-American' movements. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Criminal Sentencing: White, Black, and Mental
[ send me this paper ]
(8 pp). What we will be looking at in this
discussion are basically two issues, that have
somehow become enmeshed: According to Davis
(1998), more than 70 percent, of the imprisoned
population, are people of color. It is rarely
acknowledged, that the fastest growing group of
prisoners are black women, and that Native American
prisoners are the largest group per capita.
Approximately five million people - including those
on probation and parole -- are directly under the
surveillance of the criminal justice system. And
according to Ditton (1999) sixteen percent of those
incarcerated in state systems are mentally ill.
One of the questions that then arises from this
data is, are the white mentally ill sentenced to
incarceration at a different ratio than people of
color? Bibliography lists 8 sources.
