Video: https://youtu.be/URxwe6LPvkM John Griffin went into the South during a time when it was dangerous to black in that part of the country, so we know that he literally risked his life to expose how the minds of not only racists were working in the midst of the environment but also how racism affected the minds and emotions of the oppressed. We often learn dates and facts of battles, events, and names of people that affect history, but we don’t always get the personal effects portrayed to us the way Griffin did. Griffin grew up in Texas where racism also existed. His family, however, taught him to treat black people well. As a young boy, he once used the “n” word, not out of hate, but because he didn’t know better; his peers used it. In the 1950’s, it was a very derogatory word to use. His grandfather slapped him and admonished him to never use the word again.The Till case was an event that motivated the beginnings of the Civil Rights Movement. His mother had an open casket so America could see the what was going on in the South and hoped it would effect change.Video 2: https://youtu.be/fjr6XLcCXgUAfter watching the videos and reading the assignment, what are your reactions? Are the events a surprise to you; were you expecting them and why or why not? Does this help you understand the kind of courage Griffin had to go into the South during this time with the sole purpose of exposing the racism that existed there? Also, how does this make you feel about the people who experienced the events of this time period?We can all relate to some degree of being bullied, oppressed, shamed, humiliated at sometime in our lives. Is there anything about these events or information that you can relate to (major or minor)? If so,, how? Minimum 200 word response and respond to two other students’ posts with 100 word response each.Respond to these students: (you can also see these as an example of what to write)I think everyone in this world understands that the world sucks. The world sucks at this very moment and it always has sucked. Back then in the times of the Civil Rights Movement most if not everyone man and woman of color had a life in which they were treated unfairly and cruel. I mean from the videos it helps to show just how badly these people had it. During the Martin Luther King Jr. era especially. Without Martin Luther King Jr. these times very much still could of been going on. This idea of racial segregation was not just an idea that formed on its own. This idea of racial divide was more than politically motivated. During the Cold War era these higher level politicians were trying to thrive from the tension of the races by profiting financially. They never wanted to fix anything they just wanted to let everything keep on going to succeed via their wallets and fame. This whole idea of racism could have been solved a long time ago and if the proper actions were taken no one would have ever had to die and suffer as they did. The name Martin Luther King Jr. would never of had to been praised as it was for his actions as he would never of had to sacrifice everything he did for the nation to try and fix it. More than likely the man would have been successful and well known regardless but in a different world he could of lived a happy life without seeing his people, friends, and loved one suffer as they did. And In high school, I had learned about the deep South, the Civil Rights Movement, and Emmett Till. The first reaction I had when learning about the racism and lynchings that happened in the 1950s, was anger and sadness for all the people that had to endure the hate against them. While I had learned about Emmett Till and how badly tortured he was by white and black men, after watching the people in the video describe and show the images of what happened to him, made me feel very terrified and chilled. I am not surprised by the killings that happened to Emmett Till and Martin Luther King Jr. and many others because of the immense amount of racism and hatred white people had against black people in the 1950s. The social construct of race that had been evolving to the 1950s, allowed for white people to hold legislative and social power above black people. From learning about how dangerous and frightening it was for black people in the deep South in the 1950s through Emmett Till, it puts into perspective how courageous Griffin had to be to go to the South during this time so that he could expose the racism that existed in there. My heart feels heavy for all the families and individuals who had to live through that period of time and experience all those kinds of horrible mistreatment. While I am a white woman living in California, I cannot say that I have any experience of being mistreated the way that people of color have been; I can’t begin to imagine how they felt and are feeling with racist actions and words against them. Although, as a woman, I do face sexism and stereotypes from some men in the workplace; many men in the workplace see my opinions and inputs as less valuable and unimportant. While I face sexism and stereotypes in the workplace, in my opinion, I do not think it compares to the extremely harsh treatment that black people have and are facing in America.
