Oluo’s language

The language that Oluo writes with is very informational and serious. All of the chapters are a summary of her experiences and how she deals with racism on a daily basis. Specifically, her use of certain statistics put into perspective on how people of color are treated saying for example, how more black people or people of color are more likely to get arrested because of their perception, which seems to be that all black people are violent and cause the most trouble. This creates a feeling of sorrow for the reader towards Oluo because her overall ideas symbolize how racism is dividing people and making black people specifically searching for answers on how to define their role in society. The rhetoric effects speak for themselves in terms of persuading people to speak up and let their voice be heard and search for more equality in society.
