My response to the article is a little skeptical. The article is mostly being viewed from a "white person" thoughts about Philly and is taking place on the bad side of Philly. In the beginning of the article most of the bad things is from blacks. The person is not looking at that whites, Asians, Hispanic, and ect... commits crime too. The person is making blacks look bad throughout the article. The author of the article is basing Philly off of one races. I think the author is being racist because he is saying mostly bad things about the blacks and is only talking about blacks.
ReplyDeleteThe discussion we had in class was a little true and false, I think. I say this because he is saying what he thinks of Philly and is getting other points of views from other people, but than again he only interviewed white people that lived in the area where he was getting information about. Also he stayed in one area of Philly. Liked we talked about in class, if he was to go outside of North Philly and ask different races about Philly and the part they and how is it like to live there. I believe he would have got more positive results than he got at that one area he interviewed. Also when we was talking about race, it doesn't matter what race we are, we are all human living on this one planet to do good. There should be no excuse to why you do certain things because of what race you are.
This is what i think about of the article and the class discussion. Hope you like what I said and had to say.
1. In Fairmount to expand his research.
ReplyDelete2. Claire didn't go further than Girard Avenue, which she didn't feel comfortable either.
3. To Bache Martin School.
4. 50% doesn't graduate in Philadelphia public school. (which is really awful because most actually have the potential to)
5. Mr. Huber believes white people need to be more open minded and less judgmental of black people. To reduce the racism between both black and white.
The author spends a lot of time speaking how the whites react to black people in the neighborhood, white this, white that. Not bothering to put the black people's thoughts into his article.
I don't like the structure of this article because it's mostly what white people thinks and what white people feels. He didn't even bother to interview the blacks and or ask of their opinion. Even though researches claim that blacks are more likely to commit
crimes as of white people but has he not seen there are whites out there committing the same crimes that blacks do or even worst? He haven't mention those blacks that are motivated in school, or who is willing to succeed and be successful. It's all about how bad and dangerous the neighborhood it.
If the author invest in interviewing blacks or expand to other areas instead of just the bad part of Philly, his results may differ. Such as pitching in ideas and thoughts of blacks. Even other races. There are places that's dominantly blacks, but there's some blacks in white neighborhoods. Can't just come up with an article with one side of the story and not present the other. It'll make readers think that all he cares is to pinpoint how bad the blacks are and make whites seem better. It doesn't seen fair. And may be offending
