Current event summary on police brutality
The article "White Privilege: The Reason I Can Be Angered by Police Violence Instead of Terrified" by Benjamin Powers talks about that because he is white he has no reason to fear the police but he can have anger towards them for their actions on the colored community. Powers says that because he is white, he has the power and influence to lead to change because people of color don't have "white privilege". This shows that the power in the United States still rests solely in the hands of white people and that in order to stop the killings of colored people by the hands of police white people have to be behind this movement in order for it to change.

ReplyDeleteTry to be more specific in your summary and analysis but other than that your paragraph was clear. The analysis was a bit weak but with time you will be able to strengthen it up with connections and just more analysis in general. The topic also ties in with mine because police brutality is sometimes seen under gun violence.
ReplyDeleteIt was a pretty decent summary overall. I thought the analysis could have been a bit better. Also a bit of work on your conclusion. Besides that, I liked the topic and point of view in this article.
