Supremacy Crimes need to go!!


In the article “Supremacy Crime,” the author really looks at generalizations of these crimes such as who the killers are and what are their motives. Her thesis is a good argument of how we judge certain people with certain crimes like the supremacy crimes. Her argument was that teens in schools all over the U.S plan to kill or bomb their classmates or school because of being bullied or humiliated. The other part was that for adults the people that usually do the supremacy crimes are white males of the middle class because of their addiction to superiority. I know her argument was very strong and to me mostly correct with the fact that those are the people that do these supremacy crimes, and that society needs to look at these crimes and figure out a way to reduce the number of murders and rapes per day and per year. This article is very believable because of the crimes we hear about all the time on the news. Some people would judge other races and say that those are the people that commit most crimes, but in realization it makes sense that the white male does do the most superiority providing crimes to make himself feel powerful. The other does prove her points very well. Throughout the article for every change of subject the author used specific examples of supremacy crime with the names of the killers meeting the descriptions giving by herself. The strategies mostly used in this article that worked best were provided the examples of the killers and what they had done. The article really spoke out about supremacy crimes that continue to happen every day and that there needs to be changes to decrease the crime rate.

  1. Alyssa, good work focusing on the argument here. Next time it would be very helpful for your argument if you break up your main examples (support) into separate paragraphs...
