Growing Up White

By Elise

Growing up in a white household verses a black household has its similarities, but also its differences. One similarity we've all experienced is asking our parent to go to McDonald's and them saying, "no we got food at home." via GIPHY Talking Back A big difference between black and white households is talking back to your parents. I have had white friends who talk back to their parents and the parents ignore it. Also when responding to parents is different. When my parents ask me to come to them I respond "what" and they tell me what they want.

Black Athletes Dominating Sports

By Ashleigh

Throughout history, African Americans have repeatedly been in situations where they have to prove themselves worthy or capable of performing certain actions. A wise man once told me, "In life, you will always have to work harder than the next person just because you're black". This is why achievements are so highly celebrated in the black community; also where the term ' Black Excellence ' comes from. From The Beginning Ever since back in a day, Blacks were only looked at as being useful for sports; basketball and football specifically. So we took that and ran with it. We have had many who have in excelled in several sports. Everything from basketball and football to tennis and gymnastics. History in the making For example, Simone Biles. Simone first came on the scene in 2016 in the Olympics, competing in individual all-around, vault and floor gold medalist, and balance-beam bronze medalist. She has won a total of 25 Olympic and World Championship medals....
