Others may claim that black people are inferior to white people, and that black people should be subservient to white people. The definition of ‘black’ is the topic of William Raspberry’s article.

Black people could be smart, and Northup was the good example for it.

On the bench, we have a white woman and a white man standing by her, reading the paper. The third person is a black male, with his hands up.

world in how black people are being victimized by the police even when a person has not committed a crime.
