Unfortunately, The Obama Administration soon leaves office with the worst race relations our country has faced in decades. The reason being that after failing in foreign and domestic policy, the democratic party needed a rallying point. One of those points was Black Lives Matter, which is and was a cynical effort promoted by self interest of the Democratic party to manipulate inner city blacks and win their support.

What if I said the Boston tea party was a major event in American history. For instance, did know the Britains were in major debt with France from the great war. Or how did the people in Boston to manage to overthrow the tea. How does the Boston tea party have an effect on today 's society?
Coats’s article“Fear of a Black President” is written with an angry tone. It presents how race and color effects people in winning roles in leadership in the United States of America, as well as diminishing President Obama and his legacy. Coats talks about the death of Trayvon Martin and how important it was to show the president's role during that. I think that Coats is criticizing Obama based on Obama’s response but not as a president. Obama responded to the teenage boy by demonstrating that if he had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin.

The largest in terms of tea dumped into the sea and the number of men participating was in Boston. Although no "tea party" is held in Georgia (no tea was allocated to Savannah), a somewhat symbolic party was held at the harbor in nearby Charles Town, South Carolina, where a single ship bearing tea
The article “Political Rhetoric, Immigration Attitudes, and Contemporary Prejudice: A Mexican American Dilemma” by Robert Short and Lisa Magana starts by explaining what social construction theory means.

In 1773, colonists in Boston protested the taxation policies of England, which they felt violated their right to “no taxation without representation.” This tea party was a factor leading to the Revolutionary War (“Boston Tea Party Facts”). In 1768, colonists consumed almost two million pounds of tea - the three million inhabitants of the American colonies were consuming on average of two to three cups everyday. The Boston Tea Party was a direct protest by colonists, members of the Sons of Liberty, against the Tea Tax that had been imposed by the British Government. The tea tax protests resulted in the smuggling of cheaper, non-British tea and boycotts of British tea through Nonimportation Agreements.
The Boston Tea Party Have you ever wondered what it would be like if an iconic moment in history had never happened? Although The Boston Tea Party cost Great Britain a great deal of important resources it was a necessary event for the Colonists to get their freedom. The British Parliament passed the Intolerable Acts to punish the Colonies for dumping British goods in the harbor. The Boston Tea Party also paved the way for the Revolutionary War. Therefore the American way of life would be extremely different today had the Boston Tea Party never happened.
One remaining question is what does tomorrow hold? ZZ Packer used this book as a way to bring light to such a dark topic. While America is not where we used to be, we still have a lot of progress to make in the near future. “Revisiting the Rhetoric of Racism” by Mark Lawrence McPhail suggests that African-Americans have longed for a sense of identity that has long been denied by people of the white race. McPhail said that scholars have been working to understand racial rhetoric by examining the “social construction of identity and difference,” (McPhail 43).

What makes people unequal to others in their mind? Many think others are unequal because they are simply different from them. The possibilities on being different from another person are almost infinite, but most often, and not limited to, are race, religion, gender, sexuality, or just being an outcast. Looking at just the United States, it is a huge melting pot based on immigration throughout history. Being an immense melting pot is a blessing and a curse; while it creates cultural diversity, it also creates discrimination, which America is notoriously known for.
A group of colonists known as Samuel Adams and members of The Sons of Liberty disguised themselves as Mohawk Indians who boarded three ships and dumped 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor.
