In the poem “Black Boy”, Richard Wright discusses how many people have this belief that blacks can't do anything and are looking down upon. Racism is still going on today, many people are being mean online and about anywhere people can be racist. The article “World Cup 2018: England boss Gareth Southgate says country must address racism” is about soccer players who are not only being online abuses but in person abuses by racism. Both texts argue that racism is an import issue and people shouldn't be judged because of their looks, but they are also different in how people are being racist, and how in the future some people are more against racism while in the past it was expected to be a very unfair and cruel world.
In both of the text the author of “World Cup 2018…” Phil McNulty and Richard wright both discuss that racism in society can affect many people and bring their hopes down. Phil McNulty explains in his article how the soccer players are getting online abused and such because of their race that they can’t change. In the text it says, “He showed a picture of our under 17’s on social media… To see them abused in this way is absolutely disgusting,” (World Cup 2018...By:Phil McNulty). The boys on the soccer team can be getting discouraged by people looking down on them and stepping all over them on social media which could affect how they play and what they believe in. Similar to the story “Black Boy” the soccer players can’t do what they want without be discriminated. In the story “Black Boy” young Richard is being judged and yelled at by his white boss, “If this the ni****?, he asked a black boy as he pointed at me,”Yes,sir” the black boy answered”(Black boy). Richard explains what his boss was calling him after he got bit by his dog, his white boss could care …show more content…

When his family found out he was writing even they weren't happy and thought it was a waste of time because it's not work, and didn’t help his family financially. In the text it says,“Son, you ought to be more serious… You’re growing up now and you won't be able to get jobs if people think you are weak minded,” (Black Boy). His mom doesn't care what he wants to do she just wants him to do something that will actually matter in life. This ties back to racism because blacks aren't expected to do anything good or extroanady like make books and writes stories and such, inside they are expected to work and not do what they wish to do. The text also explains that the kids had not believed Richard would write too, “ A few days later my classmates came to me with baffled eyes, holding copies of the Southern Register in there hands,”(Black Boy). His classmates were surprised that he wrote and asked if he copied because back then it was very uncommon for blacks to do anything once again. On the other hand in “World Cup 2018... By Phil McNulty” many people are against racism and it is very uncommon for many people to verbally attack induvales that is a different race. This causes a larger problem
