I, Tituba Black Witch of Salem
Racism, sexism, and belief that one way of life is the only way of life are prevalent in every society but should not be tolerated. People being tormented in such a manner shouldn't have went through the horror of being treated that way in any day, time or place. In "I, Tituba Black Witch of Salem", Tituba struggled with having her own belief system, the only parents she knew dying, and struggling with the day to day life of just being a woman in that society. Tituba came across a lot of racism within her early life. For example, when Tituba had to live by herself after Mama Yaya died, and she went into the fields all of the other black slaves were looking at her in somewhat of disgust. The slaves thought that Tituba should be working, out with them, because of the color of her skin. They didn't look at what she had been through or even did they know what she had been through, just the color of her skin. In addition, Tituba felt racism from her people in another way. When she didn't know how to party and didn't know how black people were "supposed" to act she felt resentment and animosity from the blacks
