"Straight Outta Patience with White Fear"
August 18, 2015
S- Reagan Jackson; values social equality with a burning passion; is personally invested and dedicated to the topic of race relations (attends Black Lives Matter rally, often writes about racial matters, etc)
O- Debut of Straight Outta Compton; police brutality against poc, specifically black poc, in the media (Sandra Bland, Michael Brown etc), decades of systematic oppression and the reality of racism in today's society
A- Young adults, poc, those interested in social justice matters, probably liberal/democratic, value equality of the sexes/races
P- To inform readers of the most recent trend of anti-black racism; intended to evoke emotions of hatred and outrage toward white supremacists while simultaneously creating feelings of mistrust and repulsion over the unnecessary and racist security measures
S- recount of modern racism in her everyday life, questioning the fear behind the absurd new regulation,recalls a brief history of the modern 'black fear' of
Tone- agitated with the continual perpetuation of "society's passive acceptance and validation of the expression of white fear"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jackson's diction establishes her personal feelings towards the issue, portrays her emotional investment, and exemplifies her passive/aggressive tone. By including words and phrases such as "conceded", "something within me burned at the injustice" and "commodification of black culture", Jackson proclaims her internalized hatred for the systematic racism perpetuated in America. It is clear that she feels deeply offended and somewhat outraged that she would be targeted to have her belongings searched, on the whim of white fear. Jackson even goes so far as to include simply acts of racism that she has personally experienced throughout her own life. Although she was not a victim of some of the more famous and radical acts, she still experienced oppression in the form of hindered education and the assumption that "all black people look the same" by ignorant classmates. For the majority of the piece, Jackson remains level-headed in her examination of the possible reasons behind the spontaneous regulation for a black film, however, her anger towards recent anti-black activity burns through the facade of her patience: "But when will black lives matter more than white fear?"
