The Red Scare
(Diary Entry)

To whoever may survive to read this…

I lay here in Down Town Kansas City using my last bit of energy to write these details. A little over 72 hours ago, Angry Kansas City Chiefs fans formed a huge riot taking over the city. The mass riot resulted from their hometown team securing its first winless season in franchise history. Angry fans took to the streets after the devastating home loss to the Oakland Raiders. Soon as the game ended Chiefs Quarterback Catt Massel was apprehended and taken to an unknown location. The angry fans resorted to an ancient ritual of sacrifice hoping that executing the infamous QB would bring a winning season to their franchise. Even the fans who weren’t super angry didn’t oppose this idea…I would like to say that the angry riot didn’t just end in the streets of Kansas City though, driven by jealousy and hatred the fans took the highways targeting every city in America who was home to a NFL franchise. One of the first stops made though was the home of the NFL Commissioner… But for some strange reason he was no where to be found when things were getting really serious. As the rampage and violence raged on across America, the innocent people called for salvation, someone to rescue them from the new “Red Scare” as the rioters had been dubbed. One day though a group of unqualified men and women came to the rescue! They were the replacements, the replacements vowed to do anything in their power to stop the destruction of the Red Scare. There was one epic battle that would settle the fate of the American Civilization, the battle took place in Arrowhead Stadium where the destruction first started. The replacements took a valiant charge at the angry rioters but wave after wave of replacements were shut down by the Red Scare.. Ultimately the replacements were mowed down by the mass amounts of rioters. The last hope for the American People had been defeated… The Chief fans had finally won something. Wait ? They

    In the Newsela article “Colin Kaepernick has 49ers fans burning their Jerseys” Cindy Boren writes about the current issue in the NFL when Colin Kaepernick took a kneel and refused to stand during the national anthem. She continues to write about the effects that took place shortly after. One fan sent a video of him torching a jersey while the national anthem played, and another fan recording, setting fire to a Kaepernick jersey and scoffed at him telling him to “Get the F out of the country.” However, others think differently of the situation. Colin stated “I am not going to stand up and show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.” Chip Kelly, his coach, supported him protesting.

    In Atlanta, you watch your friend James L. Farmer Jr. leave for the airport to return home for his father’s funeral. He’s the principal founder of the Congress of Racial Equality and organizer of the Freedom Rides, which tested segregation on interstate buses. You wonder if you’ll ever see him again. As the bus carrying you and your group of black and white colleagues approaches Anniston, you see the driver of a southbound Greyhound motion to the white driver of your bus to pull over. The driver runs across the road and yells to your driver through the window: “There’s an angry and unruly crowd gathered at Anniston. There’s a rumor that some people on this bus are going to stage a sit-in. The terminal has been closed. Be careful.” Your worst fears seem confirmed. But the leader of your group, hoping the warning was a bluff, urges your driver to keep going. A minute or two later, your bus passes the city limits, and you notice Anniston’s sidewalks are lined with people, an unusual sight on a Sunday afternoon in a Deep South town. Your bus eases into the station parking lot just after 1 p.m. The station is locked. Silence. Then, out of nowhere, there’s a screaming mob led by William Chappell, Anniston’s Ku Klux Klan leader. Someone hears your driver encourage the attackers with the greeting: “Well, boys, here they are. I brought you some niggers and nigger-lovers.” The crowd of about 50, carrying metal pipes, clubs and chains, surrounds your bus. One of them screams “dirty communists” and “sieg heil.” You see no sign of any police. Your driver opens the door, but two passengers, who turn out to be unarmed, undercover cops, lean on the door levers to prevent anyone from entering. That doesn’t stop the mob from smashing windows, denting the sides of your bus and slashing tires. You duck down when someone cracks the window over your seat with a fist full of brass knuckles. This goes on for 20 minutes.…

    It was a crisp October morning when I found out the Neo-Nazi protest. For a ten years old I had no idea what a protest really meant or what Neo-Nazis were. In my head, I thought that this was some type of hippie thing I seen on television at the time. Boy was I wrong. Towards the afternoon, my cousins and I went out to play when we heard some of the older teens talking about what was going on. As we sat on the old green wooden porch, I overheard one of the teens say that the KKK was coming and they were going to go to their rally to kick them out.…

    The Great Fear was a panic time and a riot by Peasants and other amid rumors of a conspiracy by a privileged King to overthrow the Third Estate. It all started when the royal finances were in great debt due in spite of the British and their horrible decision to care for the people who were rebelling in the American Revolution. These riots were caused by economic concerns, rural panic and the power of the rumour. Disagreement between the assembly and the king caused great problems because the nobles wanted lower taxes but, the king continued to higher the taxes. The second reason for the Great Fear to happen was the voting system.This gave the people on vote to the church, one to the head of the assembly, then one more to the third estate.…

    My heart pounds beneath the thick armor like plating that covers my chest. My shoes click and clack on the pavement like a metronome. My brothers are lined up in front and beside me, all wearing the same attire but thinking different thoughts. We march down the black road that seems to stretch for miles to the stadium, reminiscent of the gladiatorial colosseum in days of old. I can just make out our opponents, their white uniforms standing out from the green field like starlight. Our chanting rings out through the night “We are!” I bark, “United!” my brothers roar in reply. This war that we are about to wage, this battle we will fight, this is the glorious game of football.”We are!” I bellow, “United!” They wail. And this night is the very last night that I will don this blue and red armor, for this is my senior night.…

    American Revolution

    “I’m going to make a name for myself. If I fail, you will never hear of me again” Edward James Muggeridge. True to his words he succeeded in making a name for himself and he created the first movie or “motion picture”. Movies are a rollercoaster ride that transcends people into a whole different world fresh out of somebody’s imagination as seen through the genres of horror, drama, and science fiction. The movie business allows people to break through the burden of everyday life. Considering today’s way of life, people would be lying if they did not admit that movies are an influential entity in our culture. Movies have been successful in ingraining values and elements into society. Movies exaggerate, sensationalize and at times even trivialize the matters of society. It has also played a major role in media in positive developments such as fight against racism, fight against gender bias, and spreading awareness about world peace. Author Bill Swanson who wrote the text, “How Films Feed the Mind or When I’m Hungry, I Don’t Want to Eat Candy”, would also agree that movies play a significant role in structuring our society. In his text he explains movies have a big influence to people both physically and physiologically. Swanson states that films are only analogies of the real world that condense time into a two-hour story. Furthermore, Swanson explains movies are part of people’s memories, and many compare and reflect movies into their own personal experience. There are numerous examples in which Swanson refers to movies that are influential and momentous. One of the movies that Swanson proposes is Raging Bull, he quotes that: “Raging bull is the irrational urge to define ourselves by violent acts of control and domination” (Swanson 240). Raging Bull requires viewers to have cultural knowledge in order to fully understand the film. Martin Scorsese presents a movie that many critics would consider a classic. There are many characteristics that make this…

    It’s game day, and the first time in twenty-three years that we might be able to defeat out school rivals, Turpin. But something didn’t feel like it should, after all it was the biggest day our team’s season. We had immense confidence in ourselves, being the higher raked state team, we expected to win this game then make a large tournament run. Little did we know that the rest of our season relied heavily on this game. Winning or losing this game would not end our season physically, but would emotionally ruin us, ultimately ending our season. The game began with a pleasant, almost soothing blow of the whistle and ended with the blood-curtailing screech of the referee’s dagger, sending shivers down my spin. The roar of our crowd stopped and…
