CRGS Assignment 2

Ken Camell ll September 2, 2021 CRGS Assignment 2 Prof Tireste While listening to The Ezra Klein Podcast with featured guests Eve L Ewing I was amazed at how Eve maintains a Critical Race Theory framework in her poetry , books, comic books and essays. I concluded that Eve expressed how academia (schools), language (tests) and accessibility (access to better opportunities) is often only afforded by wealthy people and people who do well on tests (and grades). Eve highlighted how society punishes poor people (low wages) and punishes children with bad test scores and grades under funded school). At the 10:00 mark of the podcast Eve captures this concept by stating "schools getting closed in low income neighborhoods has a profound impact on students,teachers and communities". Eve mentioned how the voice of the disenfranchised frequently goes unheard so she feels the duty to provide stories which reflect the lives of the voiceless and I truly appreciate Eve's dedication. Eve noted sociology illuminates invisible dynamics and also reveals hidden truths within society. She is attracted to sociology for how it makes plain invisible ties that bind us (humans). The language of Critical Race Theory can be misunderstood by those who are unfamiliar with the framework. So CRT often does not reach mainstream academia. The basic structure of CRT is how the U.S has historically functioned with systematic practices of action based on race (White Supremacy). Eve mentioned how she has been inspired by architects of Harlem Renaissance such as; James Baldwin and Lorraine Hainesberry especially since authors of the Harlem Renaissance era utilized whatever media outlet was available to ask vital questions. It is also worth mentioning that these authors were not monolithic writers, since they covered various subject matters ranging from race to economics to sociology. Eve summed up her purpose is to make sense of observations and reflections of everyday people's lives. Regardless of the medium she is using, Eve does not compartmentalize the topics in her writings so you can observe the Race ,Gender and Socio Economical themes.

CRGS Forum Response Assignment 2

Eve proclaimed that "political movements must provide more than a rebuttal". Eve also noted that we must practice today for the future, practice through our ways of action. I believe this is how people can manifest change if we want to live in a truly equal society. In my daily life I strive to let my actions speak louder than words so I understand Eve's sentiments in regard to people becoming the change they want to see. There were several examples of strong communities Eve mentioned like the performance community, residential community and school community which highlights Eve understanding how important it is for people to support each other. Back in the late 1960s and early 1970s this was known as People Power. Even though I am not a comic book reader I appreciate the imagination they bestow upon its readers. I am also excited to learn that diverse authors are writing some of today's comic books which is the antithesis of the early years when most comic books were written by non melanated dudes. Comic books are a powerful medium and some of my favorite recording artists have been heavily influenced by them i.e. Ghostface from Wu Tang has several alter egos and one of them is Tony Starks. Another Wu Tang member is Inspecta Deck and he often refers to himself as Peter Parker or Spider Man.

CRGS Assignment 1

Ken Camell ll August 26, 2021 CRGS Assignment 1 Professor Tessa Pirte A. My interpretation of the guidelines to maximize learning of social justice content are ; 1) Keep it mental and not emotional. 2) Informed knowledge is based on evidence and opinions are based on emotion. 3) Allow yourself to tap into empathy and humanity; this will enable a wider range of understanding. You will hopefully see life is full of various shades as opposed to black and white. 4) Stay aware of your own social fears and recall how you developed them. That same fear can be re-trained and converted to comfort. Especially since a lot of fear is based on lack of information.ignorance, isms and prejudice then proceed to adjust your perspective 5) Acknowledge your social space (ethnicity, your income and your lover) then attempt to stay aware of it since your outlook is heavily influenced by your social space (positionality). B. According to Sensoy and Diangelo (Is Everyone Equal pg 2- 3 ) "many are unprepared to engage in critical thinking course content due to structural inequities like political pressure and standardized testing which does not require critical thoughts. Another hindrance to developing a strong critical perspective are strong convictions and opinions in regard to subjects covered in social justice courses i.e. racism, sexism and homophobia. This segment reinstated with me since I always performed poorly on standardized tests. C. I recently had a conversation with one of my Fam in Anchorage Ak via text in regard to what is a legacy. We debated back and forth for about 3 messages before I realized that I wasn't basing my responses on the webster dictionary's definition of what a legacy is. So I was attempting to justify my opinion as opposed to utilizing informed knowledge to base my claim. I must remember that opinions are not the same as informed knowledge. So, opinions are subjective while informed knowledge is objective. Words 325

My audience is myself ,all my classmates and anyone who googles Kin Camell. 3. In the blog post entitled "A Future like Martin Luther's", I empathize with the aspirations of Martin Luther (from Germany). I understand how easy it is for humans to fall prey to temptation, so I strive for a simple and humble life. 4. Well according to Harrison "the moral and social passion for doing good; it is the study and pursuit of perfection, and this perfection is the growth and predominance of our humanity proper, as distinguished from our animality", (Harrison, 1971). And I definitely meet the definition of being in the pursuit of perfection and even if I don't obtain perfection I am not making the same mistakes I made 8 years ago. I stopped drinking alcohol on August 18 2013.
