Appeals For Peace In Ohio After Two Days Protesting By Richard Wright

Richard Wright was born after the Civil War but before the Civil Rights Movement. If Wright were writing an autobiography titled “Black Boy”, today in 2017, about a black boy growing up in the United States, he would write about white people horribly expressing racism against African Americans, the brutality police officers perform on blacks, and the positively protesting movement, Black Lives Matter, which people engage in fighting for the rights of African Americans. During the time period of “Black Boy”, whites were awfully expressing racism towards African Americans. They would discriminate, despise, and violently mistreat them. If Richard Wright would be writing an autobiography about the life of a black boy today in 2017, he would write

If Richard Wright were writing an autobiography about the life of a black boy, today in 2017, he would write about the brutality police violently perform on African Americans. In the article, “Appeals for Peace in Ohio After Two Days of Protesting”, written by Francis X. Clines, he states that after two days of irregular protests, the unfortunate shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white policeman occurred. City Councilwoman Alicia Reece uses her surveying of the 66 arrests and the damage to city stores as evidence to prove the terrifying tension between white policemen and African Americans, who have complained about the racial profiling of white police officers (Francis X. Clines 2001). Many Americans have dealt with the issue of police brutality, although a majority of them are African American. Two civil rights groups collaborated to file a racial profiling suit in a Cleveland federal court against Cincinnati. The allegations are regarding African Americans being isolated out by the white police for inconsequential offenses insanely more than whites are (Francis X. Clines 2001). Also, the white police officers using more deadly force against African Americans more horribly than they do against whites (Francis X. Clines 2001). From 1995 to 2000, the white Cincinnati police officers killed 13 suspects, all of them being black (Francis X. Clines 2001). Additionally, “‘The problem is

Everyday, African Americans went through hardships and watched their world destruct each day that passed by which was completely horrendous for them. They still go through these hardships which makes it tough for them to live a peaceful life. Greatly, people of all races and color come together to positively protest for the rights of African Americans. This encouraging protest is called Black Lives Matter. If Richard Wright were telling a story about the life of a black boy, he would write about the people’s involvement in the strengthening and protesting movement Black Lives Matter. According to the article, “Black Lives Matter Movement Confronts Jeb Bush”, written by Kimberley McGee, Black Lives Matter is a social movement that has furiously confronted Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and other Democrats over the deaths of unarmed black people by police officers. Mr. Bush is speaking his views towards the unacceptable rights of African Americans. “‘Look, we have serious problems,’ Mr. Bush began, head bent and arms outstretched to the questioner. ‘And these problems have gotten worse in the last few years. Communities can no longer trust the basic institutions in our society’” (Kimberly McGee 2015). “‘With all due respect, a child who is educated, who can go to college and live a life of purpose and meaning--it’s important,’ Mr. Bush said as the mostly white crowd of
