Brent Staples wrote an essay we were asked to read, with the principal subject dealing with fearfulness of stereotypes especially with African. In one of his statements in the essay he uses the word “thunk,” over many times. The phrase thunk is an rhetorical device displaying a coarse tone of voice, this also displays the leading bias even within his personal race.. Staples aforementioned he liked nighttime walks but when an adult female would see him they out of fright would not form eye contact and clasp their bag like they are about to get bobbed by a rock falling. This is all done because of a stereotyped black male traveling at nighttime must assumed he want's trouble. Then again females these years are getting robbed and pillaged more than anytime before so she must be aware of environment.

The truth of this essay has helped me not take my biased opinion about others, and act on them. It does not make this man feel happy, and I never thought it could hurt someone so much. Staples starts out by identifying the moment he had detected a dis-confirming response to his impression when a younger lady raced away from him he was walking nonchalantly in back of her nearly a city block out. At this moment, Staples recognizes because of how he is clothed, his tallness, and lengthy hair he looks fearsome to people, peculiarly Caucasian people, he appeared while walking down the streets. Staples passes the connection that in applied mathematics,a bulk of rapers and robbers are African-American and that many ward off coming in interaction with him in neighborhoods for anxiety that Staples has the intent of hurting them in some fashion. Once he was conscious of his conspicuous differentiation from other walkers he understood the language of fear. Staples acknowledges that peop ...
