Well, some people from both black and white try to best one another by bring up their past. In some sports, like soccer, men are paid more money then women even if they win or lose.
The lines from the excerpt of
Edgar Allan Poe’s "The Raven" that uses allusion are:
2. Leave no black plume as a
token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
4. And the Raven, never
flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
6.And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
