Zinn's blog post
Zinn's reading talks about Chicano men's masculinity and how they are affected by society. In society, Chicano men are considered to be low class and tend to have less paying jobs such as construction . The environment in their jobs is hectic and their bosses treats them as lower than them and sometimes the Chicano men are yelled at or humiliated. When they come home from work they let their anger out on people lower than them such as their wifes or children. By doing this they feel more superior and masculine while the wife or the children gets all the torture.

Blog post #4: Marable
Black Males and females view themselves as a race trying to break through the injustice of typical stereotype. In the beginning of American history, black males and females were brought o America as slaves. Just because of their skin color they were considered low. The white race tortured the blacks in many ways possible. They raped the women and hurt the black males. Before the Black race didn't have any freedom at all, but now everything is changing. There is no difference between black and white people, the black males and females are achieving their goals and are treated equal as the white people. In the reading "The Black Male: Searching Beyond Stereotypes" by Manning Marable, he discusses how in the 50s,60s, 70s and the 80s it was difficult for black males to find jobs and feed their families. From there they started to do do illegal stuff such as robberies. But now the black males are rising up and having a name of their own.
