Contradiction

         Benjamin Banneker, a free African American and an astronomer, mathematician, surveyor, almanac writer, wrote a letter to form U.S President Thomas Jefferson that reflects on Benjamin point of view of slavery and challenged Jefferson’s suppositions of the inferiority of blacks.Contradiction are statements that assert claims that cannot really be true, is a conflict of opposite. In this blog, I will discuss the contradiction of Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence have on one another with the continued existence of slavery.

The most devastating of Jefferson's contradictions were those that involved the issue of slavery. This man was a hypocrite when it comes to slavery, he supposedly disliked slavery and in his political career, he made some attempts to end slavery in the United States. Jefferson most importantly document  in  The Declaration of Independence immoral and fundamentally inconsistent with his lines and ideas about natural right in American History. Jefferson says "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." (2) this is important and explains that Banneker despite Jefferson’s misgivings about the slave trade, he continued to believe in the moral and social superiority of whites over blacks. Jefferson owned and sold numerous of slaves. It was also discovered that one of the female slaves he owned, Sally Hemmings, was the mother of at least one of his child. Jefferson contradictions were proven that he was not human, but he was a hypocrite. Banneker often reminded Jefferson of the language of religious humility that he had used the idea that the blessings of liberty come from a Supreme Being, rather than a human being having the decision  over another.

Blog Assignment three "Lynch Law in all its phases"

Eventhough the end of the Civil Was brought freedom to African American slaves in the United States, it did not bring safety. During Lynching, was a harsh reality for former slaves in the south, is the practice whereby a mob and usually several of hundred whites takes the law into its own hands in order to punish and kill African American. Although the brutal act committed by one race on another the lynching was not stopped. In this blog I will be discuss Southern Horror and other Writings, edited by Jacquelune Jones Royster with text introduced Ida B. Wells, 1892-1900. Ida B. Wells is a African American women journalist, public speaker and newsletter editor introduce lynching of African Americans. Discussing lynching law and the effect that it had on the Afro American.

Whites accused, arrested and lynched African American before any hearing could determine their guilt or innocence. In the text "southern Horror" by Jacqueline Jones Royster, Wells says, "If southern white are not careful, they will over-reach themselves and public sentiment will have a reaction; a conclusion will then be reached which will be very damaging to the moral reputation of their women"(Wells,52), the author uses the keyword public sentiment, meaning emotion and belief of the people. What Afri-American feel. We should pay close attention to this because this means that afri-American will start acting opon their emotions and reveal against the whites.The African American felt that what the white were doing to them,  accusing them of raping white women it was unreasonable and unfair to them. If whites did not react fast their reputation and wifes reputation would be ruin because men weren't actually raping their woman, but actually sleeping with them.

Freewrite on the language of human rights.

Human rights are right we are born with, As human we have our rights to protect and we are all created equal. The connection i find in language with human rights is the way we address and express ourselves to something we are approaching. theres different way of language we can send a message out and for it to be interpret. Language is use in human favor, or against, it just all depends on what we are addressing and how we sending the message. My intensive proposal would be how i contribute to the book and the way i am going to interpret how language is connected with human rights, in a form of a poem i will be expressing why do i think it relates to eachother and how it is used.
