Top 5 most wanted Star Wars the Black Series vehicle sets

Image
Hasbro's line of 6 inch scale Star Wars vehicle sets has definitely slowed down, with no releases this year, but I'm hoping that doesn't mean the line is dead because there is a few more vehicles I'm hoping to see released! The designs and the vehicles of the Star Wars universe help to make the galaxy feel alive and full of personality, so I hope that there are plenty of more creatures and vehicles coming to the line to stand alongside our figures in the future! Here are the top 5 I hope to one day have! (Image Source) Related posts: Most wanted Star Wars Phantom Menace Black Series figures Most wanted Star Wars Return of the Jedi Black Series figures 5.

Between the World and Me: An Examination

Racism and race are the prime points set up in New York Times bestseller, Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. Throughout the book’s pages he talks about his own upbringing and the acts of racism he witnessed which fortified his view on life and the way that he looks at everyone around him; the book is also told through first person narration as a message to his son. Out of the themes and ideas presented in the book, racism, disembodiment, and the idea of blinding oneself to the atrocities one may impose are the forefront of the topics as the author discusses things that he observed and experienced over the span of his life, his constant position on the black person’s body in regards to how fragile it truly is in the world and how it governs the life of African Americans, as well as his interpretation and explanation of the white people’s “Dream,” which he mentions several times throughout the book as the driving force for many white people’s actions which are forgotten in or...
