Author's Note: I wrote this piece for my goal, which was for text analyse, and conclusion.
Imagine getting called mean names just because of your skin color or someone is being so nice that it is racist? "After You, My Dear Alfonse,"
is written by Jackson, and it talks about how people are so nice it is racist. The main theme of the story is about racism, reverse
racism, and how people treated different because of their culture. In the story a boy brings home a negro
boy. The mother that is white is trying to be nice but is saying reverse
racism. The mother thinks that all black families have multiple children, and
all fathers are strong, and they will eat any thing, because they never eat.
Reverse racism is
wrong and people still do it now in modern society. I see reverse racism
sometimes when I am at the mall or out and about. Personally I have done it
multiple times before and I felt very bad after the fact it is done. I don't
like to do it but sometimes it just comes out with me knowing until I see that
I offended them.
When I say something
that his racist I think It is true just like the mother in the book Adventure of an Indian Princess. When
the daughter is on vacation the family comes along a native American chief
station, the parents stop there. The station was full of racist things, like
the way the people dresses, and even the "home made items" where
shipped to the store. The daughter was forced to take a picture with a man that
was wearing a feather headband, holding a tomahawk, and wearing leather
cloths. That is racist because not all
native tribes had tomahawks or had feather headbands.
When I say some
reverse racism thing, society ignores
it, because people do it in modern day. I was young when I went on a road trip to many different
states. Arizona was the first time I experience it. There was a black man
getting groceries, when a man walked up to him and asked if he needed help
paying for food because he thought that all black people are poor. I was
stunned at the time because I was 10 and barely knew racism. This relates to
the story because the mother thought
that negro people were poor and would eat anything that is thrown at them.
Reverse racism is
bad for to say because it is mean in many different ways, and it happens a lot
to people that are at the mall, of just walking around town. Reverse racism can
be stopped If our society would be careful to what they say. Like Abraham Lincoln
said "all man are created equal."
Would you like it if you were getting made fun of, for your skin color?
