Make it Right, We are all Equal
Throughout time, African Americans have endured centuries of injustices and cruelty due to the color of their skin. They have been subjected to many racial actions that driven them to revolt and take matters into their own hands for the safety and love of their people. I have chosen to write about the many injustices that African Americans have faced throughout many generations of slavery, unjust laws, racial equality, etc. “Tactical Media is situational, ethereal and self-terminating. It encourages the use of any media that will engage a particular socio-political context in order to create molecular interventions”. Understanding the concept of what kind of power the media had on society and how it has a positive or negative aspect on people to shift their mind and attitude. The media has had a huge impact on society’s opinion about different issues that caught many’s attention. Including during the civil rights era. During this time the media portrayed a negative image of African Americans that printed an abnormal image of them which gave others the splinting image that Blacks had o “self-restraint” or “control” over their actions but their revolt against the “man” was an act of self-defense towards the brutal actions that were taken against them to show that they were “beneath” whites. “SubRosa practices a situational embodied feminist politics nourished by conviviality, self-determination, and the desire for affirmative alliance and coalitions.” They have shown their pride and courage towards those who wanted to oppress them for centuries, by revolting against all prejudice actions that were made against them. Take Rosa Parks for example, she fought for her rights by standing up to a racially powered society and its authority that was given to those who were believed to have a high stature over others who were outside of their race. I chose the top of civil rights/Black lives to matter to display the struggle and hardships that African Americans have suffered from throughout time, and how they have banded together many times to fight against the Socratic system that was meant to oppress them and take away their pride, freedom, and will to make a change in their lives for the better.
