The Frank Jude case relates to class and the text in various different ways. The Jude case shows a stark reality of racism as it exists today. Black people were not the only people completely surprised by the verdict. Many white people also felt very surprised by this verdict while others saw it as just. Hacker would argue with his text that many times white people will look the other way in situations like this because they do now believe racism exists. Berry/Blassingame would show us that this situation has happened before in the past and that we should find it as no surprise today. B/B would show us how we use a white criminal system and that it would not be right to have an all white jury. In class we had various opinions on the case. Many believed it was down right racism and that these men must be punished for their savage beating to Frank Jude. All in all these three separate sources could agree that there is most likely one truth to this situation. That truth would be that there is something terribly wrong with the judicial system we have when not one person is convicted for such a savage crime that we know happened.
As for the Henning and Parker situation I think we can prove Hacker wrong in some essence because he would most likely not have thought that the community would have pulled together in such a tragedy. In B/B we could see that things have continued to get "better" in relation to slave days and that these black children were treated as human beings and were the concern of many races not only in the Metro-Milwaukee area, but the entire country. As a class we were all able to see that the community was able to pull together, however most of the community that did help was black....
