The Help: This is powerful, but I don’t know how to fell about this Mammy stereotype. Like I’m still very worried for Alibeen at the end of this movie. I’m glad she confidence in herself. I just want the confirmation, ya know! And I can’t leave without doing this, but this pie tho. THIS PIE THO!!!! Minny must have given Viola Davis all the strength to overcome because someone definitely got away with murder. Corny, but I don’t even care right now! THIS PIE THO. NUFF SAID. I ,truthfully, don’t know where to begin or end this response. I believe the trend will be to focus on the surreal and hyper-specific practices in which minority communities engage with the law. The undercover realization being that "mass incarceration" affects more than the "black folk”. I won’t make this an FYI about how this discussion is literally structured by the history of black people. The structuralist in me has long learned that the epistemology of black antagonism sutures the cultural emersion that permeate social interaction. Meaning that the macro and micro aggression towards blackness have become universal. However, I will participate in some of the discussion of the text to see if browny points are possible. My list consist of; Reaganomics as a consistent criminalization tactic since debt peonage, rehabilitation and recidivism are the worse in the US, stigmatization of criminal is born from the 13th Amendment (which applies to slaves and there descendants), fugitivity is marked on the corporal signifiers of black flesh, not to mention that the state level incarceration has impacted the majority of black population. I’ll end here with special attention to the two black women that have made significant representation for attempting to end a cycle that affects black men most disproportionately. I do this because in and outside this discussion board, black women continue to speak up for black men across the spectrum. If the recent news, of Breonna Taylor, has taught me anything it’s that this movement of imprisonment has re-energizing it’s pull to black women as well.
