Afro-Pessimism…Benefit or Detriment?

This is not a compare and contrast paper; rather you are making an argument about a particular subject matter by using two scholars who either compliment or complicate one another.
These are the instructions my professor sent me about this essay. The scholars you will look at it will be David Rieff and Michael A. Barlow Jr. You may look at other articles that either support or negate afro-pessimism. I will send you the two articles written by these two scholars.
Now, I have pro-afro-pessimistic leanings, however I will allow you to come to your conclusion, whatever is easier for you.
You can also have as many sources as you want. I will also send you a sample writing paper my teacher sent me so you know how he would liked it structured.
And final thing, I cannot give you a extension if needed because this is due at 5 PM today and it is my final paper…sorry
