Discrimitory Picture Assigment African American

 

1. The peoples face in the picture are all different. The white police men are forcing the dog on to bite him. The African American's face shows fear.
2. Racism still plays a big factor in American against the African American. I think this could still happen today if a African American went to a place that nobody welcomed them to.
3. The dog is attacking the mans leg while the white police man cheers the dog on. The dog has ripped the African American mans pants leg apart. While he just is forced to allow it to happen.
4. Slavery is going on during the period of time this photo was taken. This is when the police men was using to discriminate.
