In the text ’’ to survive as a black man, make yourself small’’ by Marlon James we get to meet the author himself Marlon James, and hear his story on how it is to be a black man in the northern America, more precisely Minnesota.

In the USA racism is a very bad topic to talk about for most black people, because it’s such a big problem, like it always has been.

Uddrag
This is something no one should feel, normally we only hear about women feeling unsafe walking around in the street alone, because they are afraid of being raped or jumped by a man.

And when a woman says that out loud or write about it, she gets supported from everyone.

But when a man, especially a black man says that he is afraid of walking alone in the street, let alone for the reason of being black, white people tend to look the other way and let the black man deal with the problem himself.
