final blog
In conclusion, in MLK Chaos or Community
(1967), King offers some data to make several points about Civil Rights. When
the constitution was written, he repeats “the negro was only 60 percent of a person”
(6). Meaning that Black Americans were not counted as a whole person, just as a
piece of the entire pie since they were not represented equally if compared to
White Americans. King even goes on to state that the rate of infant mortality
among African Americans is double that of whites, that twice as many African
Americans fought in Vietnam(and that twice as many die) Sadly, even today those
statistics have not changed much since the mortality rates of African American
infants have not changed much. The
infant mortality rate of African American is 13.3 per 1,000 born in 2007
according to (CDC 2011). African Americans has the highest infant mortality
compared with non-Hispanic white. Meaning that African Americans had 2.4 times
the infant mortality rate as non-Hispanic white one of the main causes of it
are low-birth weight and maternal complications, among others. On the other
hand, recent statitistics show that white births are not longer a majority in
the United States. On -Hispanic Whites accounted for 49.6 percent while
minorities reached 50.4 percent New York Times. This means that minorities are
about to become the new majority in the United States history

blog four- response to another student
Hi, my name is Carla and I am a student in professor Rogers
Cooper English 101 class. Firstly, your blog is very informative in terms of
food facts. In your first opening paragraph you mention all of the Dr Kessler’s
claims, but you didn’t explain the quotes. Keep in mind that although you know
all of his claims, the reader may not know them, so it is always good to just
briefly explain each claims you are arguing or talking about it. Moreover, I
would like to know more about your OWN point of views relating to Dr Kessler’
arguments. Furthermore, I lost you when you mention the “Cafo System” because
you didn’t give an explanation or a topic sentence to support it. Why don’t you
paraphrase Dr Kessler theory in connection to “Cafo System” and write your own
views to it. Also I can see that you mostly wrote what Kessler said in the
text. A blog is also writing about your own ideas and what you think or believe
is right. Overall, I feel as though your blog has met the assignment
requirement. Best of luck on your future blogs.

Martin Luther King and Stokely Carmichael's templates
In the 1960s and 1970s black leaders Martin Luther King and Stokely Carmichael cooperated to obtain the Afro Americans civil rights, king's leaned on the nonviolence philosophy while Carmichael agreed in the using of violence as a form of defense.king argued that nonviolence actions lead to no destruction and murders, instead it caused discipline, morality and courage among people.he celebrated the fact that one's got to fight violence with love and dignity to be able to achieve a common purpose or goal. he was a man who wanted to fight in the most peaceful manner, full of compassion, love and mercy. by reading his nonviolence philosophy, concluded that one of his main message are to forgive others, change things and that we must work towards an understanding.furthermore, what a bloody and intense riots didn't produced, a passive and peaceful march did it( Civil Rights). on the other hand, Carmichael echoed were opposite from king's own prospective because he seems to be more concerned about using the force in a emotional intensity, without concerning about morality or "special" feelings.
Malcom X
Malcolm X was an important historical figure who struggled to defend black people's rights and freedom.
1964 was a year where many African Americans were fighting to be able to achieve the voting right. Malcolm x on his arguments about police brutality towards black argued that blacks always had lived with frustration, and on his the "bullet or the Ballot" speech argued about how white politicians deceived blacks with vain hopes and wishes.
Malcolm X in his "the bullet or the ballot" speech strongly argued that if the government keep depriving full human rights or equally towards blacks, it was the time for them to rebel against white politicians and their false commitment.furthermore, he emphasized that the government itself was the responsible for oppressing and depriving black Americans by not giving them their own natural and voting rights.
Malcolm X also argued on police brutality towards African Americans, he said that they were hardly brutalized and frightened by whites hand without any remorse and compassion towards blacks.

archives
Carla Mendoza
English 103
Second 2 blogg
Archives visited was a very interesting visit because it introduced us to know about whats the word” archives” meant. First able, when i thought about archives, it came to my mind things about document and important paper resources. The word archive means to maintain and collect primary resources about a special theme. Also it consists of permanent records or long-term preservation documents. Priminary sources are the first source of information, from which you can gather basic facts that will lead you to investigate further, such as; encyclopedia, letters, advertiment, photos, speeches and autobiography among others. By visiting the Lagaurdia Wagner archives I learned about mayor f. Wagner, he was an American senate politician who created the history of the organized labor in the United States. Moreover, we were discussing Mr. Wagner speeches; his mains claimed on the speech were more concerned about the Harlem riots, stating that the obligation of police are under legal obligation to protect to themselves. He also said that the absolute choice for the local government was to maintain law and order. by “law and order” he meant outlawing discrimination in housing. Wagner claimed that law and order was the Negro’s best friend.
