§ 2-314. U.C.C. § 2-314(1) states that unless excluded or
modified, a warranty that goods shall be merchantable is
implied in a contract for sale if the seller is a merchant with
respect to goods of that kind.

the seller at the time of contracting has reason to know any
particular purpose for which the goods are required and that
the buyer is relying on the seller's skill or judgment to select or
furnish suitable goods, there is unless excluded or modified
under the next section an implied warranty that the goods shall
be fit for such purpose.

intentionally disregarding the potential damage and in effect are
causing damage.
Clean could be sued for breach of implied warranty of of
merchantability for using EPI cleaning products to clean Clean's
clients' commercial property due to the fact they are aware of
the toxic chemicals in their cleaning products and continue to
use the toxic products without regard to the damage they can
cause.

3. (1) What is the difference between the implied warranty of
merchantability and the implied warranty of fitness for a
particular purpose?
ANS:
An implied warranty is an assurance that a product is fit for its
intended purpose. Merchantability says that a product will meet
reasonable expectations of the buyer, while fitness means the
product meets the buyer's intended use. An implied warranty of
merchantability is a warranty that the goods shall be
merchantable is implied in a contract for their sale if the seller
is a merchant with respect to goods of that kind. (Legal
information institute, 1992). While Implied warranty of fitness
for a particular purpose, the buyer relays on the sellers' skills
and judgement to select or furnish suitable goods unless
excluded or modified. (Legal information institute, 1992).
(2) Analyze and explain specifically how and why Clean could
be sued for breach of implied warranty of merchantability for
using EPI cleaning products to clean Clean's clients' commercial
property. `
ANS: Under product liability, Clean could be sued for breach of
implied warranty of merchantability for using EPI cleaning
products to clean Clean's clients' commercial property. In order
to make the product effective and safe for consumption by the
users, it must be designed in a way that is safe for its purposeful
use. The management of the company should ensure that the
product is inspected and tested at varying stages, accumulated
carefully and produced from the proper materials before using
the product at their client's commercial property. The product’s
container should be available, adequate and the proper warnings
and instructions should be communicated to the users of the
product. (Exploring warranty and product liability). The
manufacturer advises the seller of the product not to
misrepresent the safety and the character of the product and
should reveal all the products defects. Under product law and
warranty, the seller is liable for any defective product and if the
product fails to meet the intended standards.

Thank you for your participation. Below you will find a few
comments that will help with improving your posts and raising
your scores in the future:
1. Make sure that you are using course readings first before
consulting outside sources. These readings are required reading
by all students in the course and the weekly discussion
questions offer you the opportunity to display your
comprehension of these readings.
2. Good engagement with your peers, but continue to work on
expanding those posts using the tips provided during Week 1.
3. Be careful of making generalizations that are not supported
by evidence and that are in fact inaccurate. A number of these
generalizations can be found in your posts. For example, you
note in one of your posts that "[b]lack people were poorer than
the whites." This could be true in some places at some times,
but this was not necessarily true at all times, particularly in the
earliest days of settlement when indentured servants, black and
white, worked alongside each other and occupied similar a

AHMIR’S POST:
Slavery is the plague of any society. Similarly, it had crushed
the African-Americans in the United States. The most important
human right that was denied to the African-Americans along
with other rights was education. But after the era of slavery,
they were allowed to get an education as any other but in
segregation. “W.E.B. Du Bois” was a pivotal influence in
African-American education and the ideology of the twentieth-
century civil rights movement. Many institutes and bodies came
at the front to oversee the issues and balance the requirements
of the situation as was needed after slavery. Freedmen’s Bureau
also aided in keeping a check on the schools for black people as
they had a thirst for getting the education to break free from the
illegal disparities in the United States (Du Bois, 1903). Booker
T also strived for the education of African-Americans, but Du
Bois and he had different insights into it. At the same time,
segregation was forced upon black people by the use of “Jim
Crows Law” (Pilgirm, 2000).
The goal of Washington was to reintegrate Black men and
women into their communities so that they could offer their own
experiences. He felt that education, which is built on the notion
of student involvement, might bring about "social regeneration
of mankind." Du Bois was affected by the formal schooling he
obtained and his experiences in Great Britain. Washington was a
proponent of vocational education, or, as it is more often known
now, “industrial education”. Du Bois advocated for Blacks to
have a liberal education (Glascoe, 2017). He saw academia as a
symbol of black triumph against oppression. Du Bois urged
African-Americans to obtain the education as much as they can
in their life. If we look at these strategies both could be used in
the light of “Jim Crows Law” to obtain maximum education in
the pattern of the industrial education to make black people
equally educated in the society like others.

ANTONIA’S POST:
Lynching in American can be dated back to the 1830s and were
mostly consisting of hanging African Americans due to
suspicion of uprising against slave owners. After the civil war
and into the Reconstruction era is when there is an increase in
lynching African Americans. Southern whites become infuriated
at the fact that black people were legally as equal as them and
have the right to vote so they brutally attack them and often kill
them purely out of anger. It wasn’t until the early 1900s when
lynching became widespread in America and the reason for this
is manly accusing black men of being dangerous and sexual
aggressors against white women, ultimately it was to have
control over black people by instilling fear.
Ida B. Wells was a forerunner when it came to speaking out
against the lynching’s against African American men, women,
and children in America. She wrote many articles informing
black people of the terrors happening against them in Memphis,
Tennessee and then later published her work to inform the rest
of American of this injustice to raise awareness and protest
against it. One of Mrs. Wells work called, Red Record:
Tabulated Statistics and Alleged Causes of Lynching in the
United States, she debunks the alleged reasons why southern
whites are lynching black people. The first reason why white
people in the south alleged why they were lynching was because
they were stopping “race riots”. She states that “It was always a
remarkable feature in these insurrections and riots that only
Negroes were killed during the rioting, and that all the white
men escaped unharmed.” If these so-called riots were being

7. organized by black people, why was there no court documents
or any filings against anyone? As it was becoming harder to
prove this to be true another reason surfaced for these lynching
against black people. This time southern whites did not want
any black people having the right to vote or any type of control
over the government, thus creating the banner for the south “No
negro domination”. After using lynching’s as a way to instill
fear into black people from voting then came the excuse of
black men being dangerous and sexual aggressors. As stated in
Mrs. Wells writing, “With the Southern white man, any
mesalliance existing between a white woman and a colored man
is a sufficient foundation for the charge of rape.” There was a
belief that no white women could possibly find herself wi th a
black man unless she was forced. With this excuse, there were
thousands of black men, women and children were killed
brutally and most of the time having the bodies mutilated even
after death. Thomas Miles was lynched for allegedly writing to
a white woman, asking her out for drinks, in Louisiana in 1912.
This is what was consider sexual assault against a white woman.
In 1901, Ballie Crutchfield was lynched because her brother
alleged stole a wallet and after not successfully lynching him,
she was killed in his place. Clearly no crime had to be
committed to be lynched during these times. This caused many
black people to live in a constant state of fear. Often times
when black people felt that there was no escaping the lynching
in the South, they would move up North or West to get away
from it. Southern whites would even go as far as lynching a
whole black community to drive them out of area simply
because of not wanting them to be there.
