Britney Griner (Project Proposal)

Image
Phil Booth The chosen focus meme for my project proposal will be Brittney Griner, a star in the WNBA. She currently plays for the Phoenix Mercury. A multiple time allstar, and was a National Champion as she dominated the college game at Baylor University. While her time at Baylor she became the only college player to ever have 2,000 pts and 500 blocks. She was a force in the college game, an unstoppable opponent for many. Griner carried this over into the WNBA, becoming an immediate star.             Griner possesses great size, standing at 6’8. At her time in college she was the only player consistently dunking in games, which is rarely seen in women’s college basketball. Griner stood out from the rest of the players with her athletic ability, often looking unfair to her opponents. She could not be stopped by one person, everytime she caught the ball it required a double team. With Griner’s unique playing and athletic...

   On May 1st of 2018, Kanye West came in as a guest for an interview with TMZ. They talked about many different topics including politics, sports, and racism throughout the world that is still going on.

Jordan Peele's Obama Meet & Greet

Image
In a show called "Key & Peele", comedian Jordan Peele impersonates himself as President Barack Obama. Peele gives a speech then then walks through a crowd of supporters. In this crowd of supporters there are white/black men, along with white/black women. In each encounter with a white person Peele gives a firm handshake with not much to it. Then when Peele encounters a black person he gives a hug or a very loose handshake acting to have a close and relaxed relationship with that person. Peele is clearly pointing humor at race saying how President Barack Obama was loved and favored by all black people. Also, that he had a more authentic and understandable relationship with black people as well. As to Obama's relationship with white people, Peele is pointing out that Obama had a business and professional like relationship where Obama did not show his true personality. https://twitter.com/matte_bIack/status/1043555936399282176 In this next meme, a group of marvel mo...
