To add on to what Lisa has to say I agree with the comment she gives the reader a journey, but it is also the idea of giving the readers a reality check to life, and for them to change their lives around. I believe people should know the truth behind the hurt. So when analyzing Sister Souljah text, it is very important and ambitious for a young lady such as Souljah to come straight out with her opinions. I may disagree with Jada's comment because as a person in this society, we tend to censor our inner thought. The life stories and her opinion is able to give the book a sense of honesty and an eye-opener to her audience.Instead of hiding from the outside world she is able to address these issues that impact the black community. Sarye, I agree with your reaction to Sister Souljah "No Disrespect", because she is a confident black women who is able to share stories that has impacted and can relate to everybody. This shows Souljah having the sympathy for others and saving their reputation because she knows the harm it will bring, she only keeps her stories and her name because it is her story to tell and inform others. "The names as well as certain details have been changed to protect the innocent and the guilty and to avoid embarassing anyone other than myself"(Souljah xvi). The tone in which a message is delivered is of importance but, now with Africans and low self- esteem feeling should play a role greatly. There is no polite way to put this other than take people feelings into consideration.
For example if someone was to say," you aint shit, your never going to be somebody and your worth nothing" in a jokey way one would still take offense to it because they are being taking for a joke and one is down grading them.
However, the tone in which the message is delivered does not take away from the content that is in the message. I also agree with you when you say the tone in which the message is delivered shows the level of respect and the extent in which someone's feelings would get hurt.
