This article talks about history of black people and how they been treated. Everything around for us was terrible, dark and violence crimes. In 1986, the narrator was in sixth grade when the white boy was about to shoot him based on his skin tone. The narrator had to learn how to shield his body by nodding and shaking hands in order to survive the neighborhoods. He had to be careful with whatever he does because based on the skin tone, the rules are essential for him. The violence makes him cost the body. Later, he married to a woman and have a baby; they lived in Delaware with not enough property. Slavery and Enslavement are not meant to be the end but it is wrong to claim the black people's present circumstances but never compensate for the triumph. They struggled a lot in the past therefore the narrator wants his son to understand his ethnicity and how he should be acted in order to responsible for the worst actions of other black bodies.
"Thus America's problem is not its betrayal of "government of the people, " but the means by which "the people" acquired their names" (6)
"I tell you now that the question of how one should live within a black body, within a country lost in the Dream, is the question of my life and the pursuit of this question, I have found, intimately answer itself."(12)
"It does not matter if the agent of those forces is white or black-what matters is our conditions, what matters is the system that makes your body breakable." (18)
"The world had no time for the childhoods of black boys and girls. How could the schools?" (26)
"Slavery" is this same woman born in a world that loudly proclaims its love of freedom and inscribes this love in its essential texts, a world in which these same ....... is the enslaved." (70)
