This week I chose to share an image of 8 year old Jordan Rodgers. On July 14th, 2018, the police were called on the young African American girl for selling water on the sidewalk by a white woman (Alison Ettle), later known as Permit Patty. Ettle claimed she contacted authorities because the young African American girl did not have a permit to sell…[Read more]

I chose this image to this week’s discussion because of its’ use of the term “respect.” Liked discussed in class, the DAPL proves who America’s society deems worthy of “respect.” The implementation of this pipeline pushes respect of indigenous people’s right to life out the window. Like Wolfie previously explained, water is part of land, which is…[Read more]

To continue our discussion on Flint, I chose a picture of the visual difference between Detroit’s and Flint’s water. The obvious discoloration of Flint’s water was due to things like led which severely impacted poor people. Less fortunate people who were forced to drink this water faced an “‘educational catastrophe'” due to leads affects on the…[Read more]

This image shows how unequal the crowd of people who face disparities where.  As shown, most of the people who suffered where people of color and also shown is how minimal their aided resources were.

Schools act as privilege zones where the more privileged students get better access and resources while the under privileged does not. Unequal systems like…[Read more]

This week I choose a picture that I thought tied in really well to our redlining discussion. The picture depicts both separation of power and the separation of privilege. Even though the side being enclosed by the red paint doesn’t appear to be doing anything wrong, this still have to face the consequences the people of privilege bestow before…[Read more]

This image portrays a hyperbole of how the U. S appraisal industry split neighborhoods up based on “investment risk” (this initiative was later classified as redlining). The exaggeration of the titles of the zones in this image really shows how little thought went into segregating these spaces. If your neighborhood had any people of color in it,…[Read more]

This is an image depicting a more advantaged population removing land from a less advantaged population. This images compares land=life and land=profit as in our readings this week with the evident power hierarchy. The idea of power stance in the world vs intention comes to light with the differentiation in tools (i.e; farming tools vs jewelry).…[Read more]
