A writer's response to Brent Staples' Black Men In Public Spaces
Ricardo Acosta's Response to Black men In Public Spaces:
"This story is a great illustration of the Black Man's views on being seen as the perpetration when no crime has been committed. He demonstrates the feelings and thoughts that are occurring as he gets marked off as a robber or a rapist. Because of what has happened to him, he takes the higher road or the intellectual road to overcome the stigma that comes with being in his demographic. What Staples does to adjust to his situation is he whistles tunes from Beethoven and Vivaldi to make him seem like an educated person instead of resorting to violence. He knew that violence is not the right way to go because of his childhood. In his story he flashes back to his childhood in Chester, Pennsylvania and the memories of burying friends and family who were victims of shootings and stabbings. He also gives occurrences like his own and friends to prove his point that black men are perceived as robbers, rapists and worse because of their looks. The story also flows very well and has very elevated & eloquent language."
