...Why Do Fools Fall In Love is the 116 minute true story of 3 women, from 3 different worlds, all with one thing in common – the same husband. 50’s rock-n-roll icon Frankie Lymon, former lead singer of Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers. Each claiming to be the widow of the long-dead singer/songwriter, the ladies have returned to claim the royalties due to his estate. Director Grevory Nava and Warner Brothers present a biographical film, filled with various elements of film technique such as its narrative form, mise en scene, and cinematography, of the brief and intense life of Frankie Lymon and the women who loved him. In the opening scene, you see a grainy video of doo-wop singers in black and white that are singing “Why Do Fools Fall In Love.” The scene fades, transitioning the music sung by a male group in the 50’s, to the voice of Diana Ross in present time. The scene’s setting is now placed in what appears to be a women’s penitentiary. Mickey – played by Vivica Fox – asks for a lawyer, whom she later explains to that Frankie Lymon wrote the song Diana Ross is turning gold again and is also being used in movies/commercials. “I’m his wife, so I should be getting paid, right?” (Why Do Fools). With news out about a wife of Frankie Lymon coming to claim his royalties, two other women, Zola (Halle Berry’s character), and Emira (played by Lela Rochon), have also surfaced with the same allegation of being his wife. The rest of the movie is dedicated to each female proving who is really...

...the urban environment. Although cities remain segregated by race, African-Americans and other population of different colors are increasingly. Perhaps the most troubling ones arise when Black people act out social roles that others do not expect or accept. These acts draw “color lines” that represent a fundamental fault line in present day American culture, especially for Black people who experience upward mobility. When such events take place, the effects can be fatal, as was the case for George Zimmerman. The killing of 17-year-old African-American Trayvon Martin. The event has touched off a fierce debate over race, violence, and equal treatment under the law. On February 26, CNN stated that Trayvon was visiting a house with his father in a gated townhouse community in Sanford, Florida (outside Orlando). Trayvon left the house and walked to the local 7-Eleven. On his way back, George Zimmerman, a white 28-year-old neighborhood watch captain, called the police because the boy looked “real suspicious,” according to a 911 call released late Friday. Even though the operator told Zimmerman not to pursue Trayvon, he did anyway, getting out of his car and confronting the boy. And according to the New York Times' Charles Blow, "Trayvon had a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea. Zimmerman had a 9 millimeter handgun. The two allegedly engaged in a physical altercation. There was yelling, and then a gunshot. When police arrived, Trayvon was face down in the grass with a fatal bullet wound...

...I chose to write about the incident that occurred with Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida. “The Trayvon Martin case” is about a teenager named Trayvon Martin who was shot and killed in a gated neighborhood by a neighbor named George Zimmerman. Zimmerman was never sentenced to any jail time; he was not punished for his crime. People all over the world have brought this topic to attention and demand it be handled correctly. In this paper, I will be explaining how this injustice affects society as a whole and how people judge each other by race and other certain features. Trayvon Martin, 17, went to the store to buy a bag of skittles and a can of ice tea when attacked by neighborhood watchmen, George Zimmerman. Martin is a resident of Miami, but was visiting his father in Sanford. Zimmerman saw Martin walking in the gated community that he lives in and called 911 to report him for “suspicious action”. After being told by the emergency operators not to follow Trayvon, Zimmerman proceeded. He pursued young Martin and ordered him to “stand his ground”. Alarmed by what was happening, Martin turned his back and continued to walk back to his father’s fiancé’s home. Zimmerman attacked Martin and in the process was hurt. Zimmerman pulled out a gun and fired two shots. The first shot had missed, but the second made direct contact. Trayvon Martin died from a bullet wound minutes after being shot. Neighbors around the area called 911, claiming to have heard gunshot. Zimmerman was released...

...people that are supposed to protect us, are killing us, and the people that are the criminals have been defined that way by these evil, living organisms. People with the most power, seem to assume that they can do anything because they are above the law. Just because they have more money, it’s okay, because they can pay for it, or because they're white they can do anything because white people don't hurt anyone. Lies that are filled in most people’s minds about our leaders should be made clear. That’s what I want to abbreviate about the world's problems. This year, thousands of African-Americans, Hispanics, Muslims and other races and religions, have suffered from the racial tensions between police officers, or even by the presidential elections that have been held this year. In fact, Donald trump gives us no reason to believe that he is not racist. He already told us that he is going to ship anyone that is not his color, back to where they have migrated from. What have we done to deserve our freedom to be taken because of our skin, nothing? All that I am...

...The Iroquois nation, a northeast native american confederacy believed that the sky was a land of its own. The sun and moon were husband a wife and would alternate throughout the day who would guard their beautiful country. When Heng, the thunder god, saw that the moon was getting smaller and smaller throughout the month he though the sun was mistreating the moon; he sended a huge black cloud across the face of the sun. It didn’t really work as he expected because the heat of the sun melted the sun and a rainbow appeared. On the earth the animals though the rainbow was a path to the land of the sky, but they didn’t realized there was no way down. The animals got stuck in the sky and that’s the reason why the constellations are shaped like animals. The Mohave of Arizona saw the rainbow as a spell from the creator to stop the rain. North Californian tribes believed that if we would count the color of the rainbow we would lose our fingers. According to the Navajo, a southwestern native american tribe, heroes were brought back home on rainbows and were also a protector against evil. The Keresan of New Mexico believed that rainbows were bridges between the earth and the world of supernatural and the world of the death. The cherokees, a southeastern native american tribe, believed the rainbow to bet the hem of the sun’s coat. Some beliefs are the same in a...

...Goal of this project is to use paper chromatography to see which dyes are used in the coatings of your favorite colored candies. Why do different compounds travel different distance on the piece of paper? How is an Rf value useful? What is chromatography used for? Candy with colored coatings- Skittles and M & M’s At least 30 strips of paper- coffee filters or chromatography paper 3 cm by 9 cm Wide-mouth jar Pencil Ruler Tape Water Toothpicks Food coloring ( red, green and blue) 1. Do your background research so that you are knowledgeable about the terms, concepts and questions above. 2. Use a pencil to lightly label which candy color or food coloring will be spotted on each paper strip. 3. Draw a pencil line 2 cm from the edge of each strip of paper. 4. Next you need to extract some dye from each candy you wish to test. Set the candy down on a clean plate in a drop of water. Leave it for a minute to allow the dye to dissolve. Remove candy, then dip a clean toothpick into the now-colored drop of water. Spot the candy dye solution onto the chromatography paper by touching the toothpick to the chromatography strip, right in the center of the origin line. Allow the spot to dry, then repeat the spotting at least three more times. You want to make sure to have enough dye on the chromatography paper so that you can see the dye components when they separate out on the paper. Make five separate strips for each...

So is this law case in particular out in the spot light because of a young black man been shot or because the shooting was wrongful. What about Jordan Davis? Did Michael Dunn have the right to shot Jordan Davis in self-defense? Did he deserve to die because of loud music? So here we have a law design to protect you or your home, and Michael Dunn try to justified self-defense at a gas station over some loud music or was it just because he was racially prejudiced. Let’s look at the Trayvon Martin shooting.

...Do Inequalities in Discipline Exist in the Education System? Bridgette Sharp Bridgewater State University Abstract There has been a great amount of research conducted to help explain the ever increasing gap in discipline that exists between African Americans and their Caucasian peers in the school system. Educators and professionals are becoming more aware of the blatant discrimination African Americans face and are beginning to reevaluate their school’s discipline policies. Action needs to be taken to redirect America’s education system into one of higher learning, understanding, and achievement for children of all races. Do Inequalities in Discipline Exist in the Education System? If you take a look at the history of the United States, it is apparent that African Americans have always gotten the short-end of the stick. America’s successful cultivation greatly depended on the forced slavery of blacks that were imported unwillingly from Africa. They were segregated, ridiculed, and abused simply because of the pigment of their skin. In the past century, great progress has been made to enforce the concept of equality in our country. Determined Civil Rights activists fought relentlessly to achieve equal voting and citizenship rights. Racial segregation may be an obstacle of the past, but discrimination is still widely recognizable in our society, and alarmingly, our education system. Education has always been a significant determinant of future success. High paid...
