Most of the people that I have seen complain about political correctness in a highly negatively, are people that are people that think that their freedom to continue their actions they are comfortable with. Social media has made an opened platform for everybody, including the people who were scared to have their voice heard and those of whose voices were silenced. I would think to see that something unintentional offended would want someone to clear it up and not do it the same way to communicate their true intentions. But, I guess not.

The majority of the paper was about how the Africana woman was viewed at different vantage points from the opinion of the students. With this section, I thought of the fifth point in the Ten Point Program, for the call for black people to acquire an education that would give them a knowledge of self and their position in the world. Which is what a realized when reflecting on my education black history.

For this next primary election, there are a lot of people running for the Democratic candidate, and because of this, the politicians have to stand out from each other. In this interview with Essence magazine, Senator Elizabeth Warren states that if she is elected president, then she will reward hospitals for having low maternal mortality rates amongst black women. This has been a very big problem in America and was first attributed to poverty and limited access to medical care, but with the improvement in these areas, the rates are still high. I found it interesting that Senator Warren would talk about this for the first time in a Black women’s magazine, but as a senator, could have worked on the legislation before running. The problems of the black community are usually looked over or not addressed, treating them like they don’t exist, until elections and the reoccurring problems exist.

This part of my response to an article about the fight for ending HIV in the South has discrimination of race, poverty, and sexuality in the way. This problem reminds me of Eva Hayward’s Don’t Exist, and how the lives of black queer people in the South have been looked over for years. The black queer people that are affected by HIV are continuously living outside of humanism.
