Citizen Discussion 9/28

Q: Where on the line are you?

A: 6 + 3.1415926535897932384626...

Q: How did you decide?

A: The book itself instills the experiences of racism into the readers point of view (in most passages). Each story is someone's experience. Someone's life. To be treated based on the amount of melanin in one's integumentary system to a degree that forces Rankine to implement such crude, hurtful, and vulnerable diction. 
The images direct the blame. The rhetorical atmosphere establishes a claim. The audience holds all the pressure to connect the dots how living that life is not okay. It's not right.

Q: Evidence:

A. Page 43 - "What did you say?"
     page 91 - image of lynching
     Page 159 - It wasn't a match. It was a lesson.
