Our topic throughout this discussion was time-traveling is an extended metaphor to the neo-slave narrative. This is shown through the subtly of racism that society portrays and society’s progression in racism. As time goes on society has shown the abolishment of slavery and how cultural changes had led them towards the elimination of racism but there are still subtle demonstrations of racism. By comparing the difference in culture between the two time periods, I realized that racism is shown through a more patronizing effect in the 1970s. When Dana travels back in time, the culture and environment that is seen is very violent and dictatorial causing racism to not only be a social norm but also a societal standard. However, when Dana travels back to her present time, the racism is still seen through subtle behaviors, especially with Kevin. With our non-literary articles, we saw racism is still active even in the 21 century. When these subtle behavors get ignored and built up over time, they are no longer subtle and have become a social norm once again. For example, my article was about one third of blacks in america having felony convictions. In both time periods, there are demonstrations of racism in common which shows Butler’s metaphor that throughout time racism hasn’t progessed towards equality but instead has changed in the way it is portrayed in society.
