Brent Staples wrote an essay we were asked to read, with the principal subject dealing with fearfulness of stereotypes especially with African. In one of his statements in the essay he uses the word “thunk,” over many times. The phrase thunk is an rhetorical device displaying a coarse tone of voice, this also displays the leading bias even within his personal race.. Staples aforementioned he liked nighttime walks but when an adult female would see him they out of fright would not form eye contact and clasp their bag like they are about to get bobbed by a rock falling. This is all done because of a stereotyped black male traveling at nighttime must assumed he want’s trouble. Then again females these years are getting robbed and pillaged more than anytime before so she must be aware of environment. In my impression for the most part all people are faultfinding and will make the determination of whom someone is just by attributes by looking for a split seconds. If one talks to a homeless person for a few minutes and discover about the individual not what they look like their would be less fear. It isn’t acceptable to forestall someone in such a disgraceful way by traveling quickly in a haste or not making any interaction. The significance is that one might not be racial by doing such thing’s out of disrespect but is doing it out fear instilled into them. The mental imagery that the author makes into his writing key graphic images into the students’ heads and aid the reader to understand the position distinctly. Staples imagination is highly powerful throughout the piece of writing and forms a lot to his assorted stories. Staples powerfully displays the fact that he wants understanding for him by the people whom are reading. It just about sounds like he makes himself to be the felon in all of these positions. He takes safeguards to look clean-handed, he confronts situations that could make look bad , and he yields those who are judging him an effortless way out. The truth of this essay has helped me not take my biased opinion about others, and act on them. It does not make this man feel happy, and I never thought it could hurt someone so much.

Staples starts out by identifying the moment he had detected a dis-confirming response to his impression when a younger lady raced away from him he was walking nonchalantly in back of her nearly a city block out. At this moment, Staples recognizes because of how he is clothed, his tallness, and lengthy hair he looks fearsome to people, peculiarly Caucasian people, he appeared while walking down the streets. Staples passes the connection that in applied mathematics,a bulk of rapers and robbers are African-American and that many ward off coming in interaction with him in neighborhoods for anxiety that Staples has the intent of hurting them in some fashion. Once he was conscious of his conspicuous differentiation from other walkers he understood the language of fear. Staples acknowledges that people were terrified of him, so he set out being observant of distinct behaviors incontestable by people he experienced while traveling on the street. What struck me most about the reading was not thinking before on how big of a problem racial profiling is not only in the United States of America, but all over the globe..  The question I’d most like to ask the author is how do you put aside all your anger, and hurt as easily as you do. Is it truly worth holding that all inside for someone else’s benefit. The idea I most take issue with is if someone see’s something threatening in you, then maybe take a look at myself, and use the feedback, after all to make a better impression. The most crucial point in the reading was actually learning how so many women would respond to a colored man like this, and how I actually would do the same thing. It has nothing to do with my whole view on other people, but rather the intimidation of their presence that is natural. Many things happen in the new’s all the time, to anyone. So just by having that in my sub conscious memory, my first reaction is to get scared of something I know happened to someone else.
