                The article “My Heart Is As black as yours” is about a phrase that was not taking in a good way by the African American crowd in Harlem by Mario Procaccino . The African American crowd took it as them being insulted. Procaccino intention was not to insult the African American community but to help them in a better proper place. Procaccino was running as a third party candidate as senate. Procaccino actions consequesntly hurt him with the media. Reporters called his campaign supporters and him the “anti-blacks and racist” group. This caused white ethnic groups to be directed more in a hostile way in urban America. This article gain a lot of attention due to the race being a key factor in a lot of segregation and discrimination that were going on in 1969.

            The article “White Mutants of Straight Edge” talks about nonviolent and anti-racist Straight Edge youth movement. In which supports abstinence from recreational drug use and sex, into a number of sections promoting racist violence and homophobia. The author Gabriel Smith puts in his documents the historical relationship between the movement and the hardcore music scenes. He believes that sex, drugs. And alcohol triggers the youth movement under “clean living”.  He is very interested in the similarities and differences between Straight Edge and other avant-garde social and political movements. The incorporation of veganism into the movement's ideology is explained, as is the general trend towards a militant enforcement. The punk subculture resulted into students to be more of the post-war-working-class as the youth culture. I found this article to relate to Gitlen and Kupliean articles we discussed in class all three articles ties into the subculture of kids getting into drugs, sec, alcohol, music etc.
