Before the American Civil war, white supremacy was dominant in the United States. Then when the civil war broke out, white supremacy was blamed for the separation of the states and created conflict between the north and the south who had different beliefs. White supremacy lived in the south along with its great big cotton fields and slave workers, while the north was free of slaves. Because of him many non-white were restrained from voting and having other similar rights such as having government jobs. Then in 1967, he made sure that there would not be marriage between a white and a non-white. Shortly after this, the constitution told white supremacy that it was wrong and went against his beliefs, and the constitution won. After this dispute, interracial marriage was allowed. After white supremacy had realized that he had lost that battle, he decided to move onto something else, the land over seas.

Over at South Africa's house, there were many people who agreed with white supremacy. Between the years 1948 and 1993 white supremacy created a "system of legal racial segregation" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa_under_apartheid) enforced by white supremacy's friend, the national party, who lived in South Africa. After this, he made sure that he would spread his beliefs all through South West Africa. After this white supremacy got black people's access to medical care, education, and other public services were less prominent and well distributed, in other words, they sucked.

White supremacy's friends Nordic shunned those of Southern Europe, who would have had darker features and different cultures. Then in the United States white supremacy had some children. They called themselves the Ku Klux Klan. His first group of children were born in the 1860s but they died in the 1870s. Then, White supremacy came back to the United States and gave birth to an even larger Klan that became nationwide. They wore white robes makes and cone hats. Their intention were to scare.

White supremacy still lives in this world among us all. It is more hidden and less abundant, but sadly, there are still some who believe that there is one pure race that is above the rest. With the help of open-mindedness and cultural awareness, humanity will easily be able to get rid of this vicious character who has done so much harm to the world already.

What I liked about Alex's pitches is that she says that she would go back and talk to her mentor again to add more things to her mentor interview which is what she plans on using for her ampersand article. I also liked the creativity she used when talking about perspectives and comparisons. The last one was pretty general, but I liked how she said that she would like to write about what the kids taught her. I hadn't thought of that before and I think it is an interesting idea.

I liked this one because it had the same idea I had. I wanted to focus on something that I have already talked about in a past internship assignment. I was not too crazy about his second pitch, but I liked how he said that his previous pitch would be like cheated which also made me want to do something different in my other article. This will make the new article unique and informative in a new and creative way. I also like how he wants to use his mentor interview, because that is also something I wanted to do. Although, my mentor interview is a bit long and it jumps around different topics, I would like for it to be told.

Well, I liked how her pitches were unique and if I were to read this ampersand article I would have a better idea of what this person's experience was like and be able to compare it to my own experience. I knew got an idea of what her internship was right off the bat and I was mainly interested in her topic. This would lead to a great article because it would be detailed and descriptive.
