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 water on the sidewalk. Defined by Ettle’s actions, Rodgers was trespassing Ettle’s white space. The girl, even though only 8 years old, pushed Alison to such discomfort,  that she saw the police as her only option to protect her space. The video went viral and Etlle faced so much backlash, she was pushed to resign from her job. Just as discussed in class, white people like Alison Ettle are often the ones who get to define what space belongs to who. And like Lalami exclaimed, social media is challenging this stigma.

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 life so by disrespecting that, American’s disregard indigenous people’s freedom to a quality life.

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 children. (Powledge). Lead can cause things like behavioral problems, “stunted growth, permanent mental retardation, speech impairment, hearing loss, reproductive problems, and kidney damage.” (Powledge). In the scheme of education, and even bigger, our nation, it is important that these disparities are brought to light. No child, nor adult should physically suffer poisoning from their water while under the “protection of our government.”

I picked an image of Katrina victims waiting outside to get into the super dome. 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. The aftermath of natural disasters affect different populations in very different ways and I think this image did a good job of showing that.

I chose this image to represent the unjust equilibrium of the education system in our society. Like talked about in this week’s readings and discussions, this image portrays the concept zoning. Schools act as privilege zones where the more privileged students get better access and resources while the under privileged does not. Unequal systems like the education system further the social, physical, and intellectual gaps in our society at no fault of the under privileged at all.

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 them. Like Coates explained, the privileged get to determine the fate of the unprivileged and that is, historically, how institutions became and remain structurally racist/bias.

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, the neighborhood was automatically deemed a higher investment risk. This was an act to purposefully segregate minorities out of white communities. The idea of redlining was a prevalent tool for segregation according to this weeks reading and I though this sort of attention grabbing exaggeration fit perfectly into our discussions.

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). This image really makes its viewers think about how power status gets to determine what the proper way to inhabit, cultivate and cherish land is, as in this weeks readings.
