Group: Gabby L, David H, Maddy B, Jake D, Timothy D
In our discussion group, we talked about Friere’s quote “The truth is, however, that the oppressed are not “marginals,” are not people living “outside” society. They have always been “inside”—inside the structure which made them “beings for others.” Oppression is a major topic not only in Friers story but in todays society. Obviously with everything going on with police brutality in lower income neighborhoods and Colin Kaepernick expressing his situations in the NFL and social media. Its obvious that on the news we see this everyday within lower income neighborhoods such as Chester for example. Chester is a major example that Jake has taken his time to supply school supplies for underprivileged kids in the area who may have been oppressed in the past. What Frier said in his story was that students are on the “inside” and they can’t get out because they are being oppressed or being trapped. They need help getting out so Jake talked about how he helps out those kids.
