Ray concurred, remarking that “ the magic pause” also reflects the collective memory of traumatic experiences that Blacks have undergone in the past, triggering fresh waves of encounters that either did or could have ended fatally, but also revealing how a white person will attempt to code-switch according to the perceived social class of a Black person. “And that criminalization of Black people is the direct result of the lack of those muscles and the lack of consideration for the fact that I’m a father, I’m a husband, I’m a professional, I have family, I have a job,” Kodjoe emphasized. ![]() The man was initially disdainful towards Kodjoe but after noticing that he owned one of the most opulent houses in the community, he sharply reversed his tone, adopting a more friendly and positive demeanor.

And that tree in the United States of America is rooted in systemic racism, particularly when it comes to law enforcement that has roots back to slavery”, he explained. “Bad apples often times come from a rotten tree. ![]() Ray remarked on how the nation’s historical legacy of slavery continues to be the foundational epicenter of racial discrimination against Blacks and other minorities. ![]() Why do Black Lives continue to be devalued and over-criminalized? #19For20Ī post shared by Boris Kodjoe on at 5:54pm PDT For blessing us with your insight and passion for solutions on social justice and equality. ![]() ![]() ![]() The second youngest of the group, Scootaloo is Cheerilee's younger sister who loves playing games and sports.

Let’s be honest: Our newspapers are filled with complex issues. If I were a betting man, I would put money on the fact that many around the world still don’t know where He stands on the issue – even after His many posts. He was on both sides of this complex set of issues, and I felt less and less sure where He was going with His thinking. His voice became more muddled as the week went on. Jesus was firm and sure on each side – but appeared conflicted. Jesus called His people to protect their children and His command to be inviting to strangers did not include people hiding among them who desired to bring violence to their homes. He didn’t want any state to welcome people without significant assurances that immigrants did not come to bring terror or harm to the streets of that place. Just as firmly stated as His early compassion statements, but supported by different verses than in Jesus’ earlier posts – Jesus started to come out in favor of careful state scrutiny of immigration when there was a significant risk to state security. I didn’t comment on any of His posts, because I wanted to see where He was going in the evolution of His thinking…Īs the week progressed Jesus’ opinions waffled back and forth. ![]() I kept reading… and then I noticed that Jesus didn’t seem to keep one track of thinking, but used other media outlets to swing in other directions on the same issue. Important sources of Jesus’ thinking, like “The Huffington Post” and “Upworthy” shared His thoughts as He poured out important and pithy sayings that made clear what He thought compassion looked like when it applied to our post-Paris immigration scene in the US. Jesus used a number of catchy sayings and cartoons and made His point on thousands of posts. He also seemed to attempt to make some moral equivalent out of the Pilgrims that long ago settled the New World. He seemed quite against any religious or loyalty test affiliations for immigrants that idea apparently seemed thoroughly unloving and unkind. They were filled with Bible quotes, but seemed to lack clarity at times…įor a while, He appeared in favor of throwing open borders and swallowing the hurting of the Near East in the name of love and compassion. I took the time to read many of His thoughts on His pages. It was fine after that.This week, Jesus apparently spent much time on Social Media.

![]() However, she's the closest thing the series has to a central protagonist. Anti-Hero: The biologist is a thoroughly insular and withdrawn character who doesn't seem to care about other humans at all, and may be a sociopath.After Control sees the footage of this, he is haunted by images of rabbits turning into stars and vice versa, an image that comes up later with other characters. There's also a lot of imagery relating to rabbits, as the Southern Reach's first attempts to breach the border involved sending hundreds of rabbits in, all of whom disappeared as soon as they touched the border.The biologist is nicknamed Ghost Bird by her late husband and Saul is an avid bird watcher, writing down what kind of birds he's seen on any given day. Both the biologist and Saul the lighthouse keeper are heavily associated with birds.The entirety of Part 2 follows the biologist's explorations after the events of Annihilation. The lighthouse keeper serves as the point of view of pre-Area X times, the director's chapters reveal how the twelfth expedition came to be, and Ghost Bird and Control relate what is currently happening after the events of Authority. In Acceptance, several points in time are used to tell what is happening and what has happened in the past by way of the time and point of view changing each chapter.This is most noticeable in the first chapters, where Control is settling into his new role, and the final chapters (the final chapter of Part 3 and all of Part 4), where Control freaks out when Area X engulfs the Reach and he runs away. One scene would happen, followed by another, only for the narration to skip back and retell elements from the previous scene that had not been told yet, again and again, revealing new layers and information each time. In Authority, Control's point of view, while linear in general, tends to jump around the way his thoughts do.At some points in Annihilation, the chronological narrative with take a step back to earlier points in the biologist's life, then segue from those points back to the situation the biologist was in at that point in the expedition.It's unknown whether there is a barrier around, or a doorway out of, Area X anymore and if the terraforming has extended to the rest of the Earth or if Control's death has made the Crawler realize that its mission was now pointless. Grace and Ghost Bird leave the tunnel and go past the remains of the Southern Reach. Ambiguous Ending: As of Acceptance: Control has died, but his death triggers a change in the Crawler.Barring the anthropologist (and the linguist who drops out before the expedition begins), they're a very tough group and have had additional survival and weapons training prior to the expedition. Amazon Brigade: The 12th expedition is deliberately all female in order throw a new variable to Area X.While the omniscient narration in Acceptance does a bit better, it still cannot be fully grasped. ![]() When it is described by the biologist in her journal, she can barely comprehend its edges. There is a film adaptation loosely based on the first book, also called Annihilation, directed by Alex Garland and starring Natalie Portman. Acceptance brings it all together by revealing how Area X came to be, and how the individual workings of the characters influence what it's going to become.Authority tells of how Control, the new director of the Southern Reach, tries to deal with the aftermath of Annihilation while navigating the labyrinthine structures of the Southern Reach - and its employees.Annihilation deals with the twelfth expedition into Area X, consisting of a biologist, a psychologist, an anthropologist, and a surveyor, who cross the boundary and confront what lies within.The series consists of three volumes, all released in the year 2014: Strange phenomena have been occurring in Area X ever since it formed, and the Southern Reach has been sending in team after team in an attempt to find out what was responsible for the Area's creation-and if it poses a danger to the outside world. The Southern Reach is a secret United States government agency responsible for investigating and hiding the existence of Area X, a remote region of swamps and coastline which was one day surrounded by an invisible and nearly impenetrable barrier. The Southern Reach Trilogy is a New Weird book series written by Jeff VanderMeer. ![]() Where lies the strangling fruit that came from the hand of the sinner I shall bring forth the seeds of the dead. ![]() ![]() ![]() Bobby Buka opened his practice in June of 2007, and today oversees 10 locations across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.
