Question

Write a 2-3 paragraph essay using the following prompt. PROMPT:" White is a metaphor for power" James Baldwin

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

White is a metaphor for power." James Baldwin. Unfortunately so true in the history of the United States.

As we have witnessed the recent horrible events in different parts of the United States regarding race violence, we have to make a stop and truly reflect on the reasons for white supremacy in the country. Since colonial times, the race has been an issue. Even after the Civil War, the lesson was not learned and the nation was still divided. Too many things have happened over the years. But white dominance is still one of the US characteristics in society.

Some people thought that the arrival of Barak Obama to the US presidency would change things and that he could unite the nation but things got worse. The US continues to divide more. And with the new US President, the country is completely divided. So yes, white is still the dominant political and economical force in the United States.
