African Americans In The Future

I agree with the prompt because eventually the white race and the black race will be mixed whether it’s with each other or another race. Olson brings up statistics to prove his point when it comes to the United States. He uses the years 1990 and 2000 to prove that the number of interracial couples quadrupled. The number went from 1.5million to 55milion married couples. Within 10 years the number had quadrupled meaning that the pure races such as white, African American, Asians, and Native American’s are decreasing.

For Arts, I will be looking at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) as the sponsee and Bank of America (BOA) as the sponsor. I am not sure if this is a good fit. I say this because according to an article published in the magazine American Renaissance by Jared Taylor, BOA was ordered to pay $335 million to settle charges that its discriminated against non-white borrowers (Taylor, J., 2011). They also steered blacks and Hispanics more often than they did whites into costly, risky, sub-prime mortgages. The primary goal for BOA is to improve image.

Hotspots expanded predominantly to the east and south during the last two decades. Both Black and White suburbanization expanded in opposite directions; Whites spread in the north and the Blacks suburbanization was in the South. The Dissimilarity Index indicated that census tracts in the counties of Paulding, Cobb, DeKalb, and Gwinnett have lower dissimilarity in their population.

Over the past several decades, the racial and ethnic creation of the U.S. population has changed particularly. Minorities are expanding their vicinity in the United States and will keep on doing as such for years to come. The Latino population is driving these changes. While today one of each eight inhabitants of the United States is Latino, it is anticipated that Latinos could represent one of each five occupants. Immigration from Latin America and the attendant growth of the nation 's Hispanic or Latino population are two of the most important and controversial developments in the recent history of the United States.

The “discovery” by the United States that Europe had inferior and superior races was a result of the large amount of immigration from southern and eastern Europe in the late nineteenth century (Brodkin, 1994). Before this wave of immigration took place, European immigrants had been accepted into the white population. However, the European immigrants who came to the United States to work after 1880 were too numerous and too concentrated to scatter and blend in. Rather, they built working-class ethnic communities in the United States’ urban areas. Because of this, urban American began to take on a noticeably immigrant feel (Brodkin,

More than 200,000 African Americans were deployed to France during WW1. Their service stirred black pride and raised the African American community 's political and social expectations, even though it did little to improve race relations in the U.S. More of the country 's racial demographics changed considerably as a result of the war. New jobs in manufacturing and other industries, combined with a shortage of cheap European labor, translated into opportunities for African Americans in New York, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago and other northern side cities. Drawn by the potential for better pay and living conditions, approximately half a million southern black agricultures moved north from 1914 to 1920 in what is known as the Great Migration.

2. The demographic trend associated with the emerging majority of diverse elders is due to the increase in the minority population, which will account for half of the elderly population. The aging population is increasing since people are living longer and this population is also becoming more diverse. As a result, the demographic trend will consist of an emerging majority of racial and ethnics groups that were once the minority group whom are of mostly elderly people. 3.

For our nation to thrive Buchannan notes that unity in diversity can’t exist. National identity must supersede state identity for America to survive (68). America experienced a dramatic increase in immigration in the last few years.

However, in Grant’s case according to their studies and models calls actually increased in weeks post story (Kirk, Papachristos, Desmond: 870, Danyell Simpson, Sean Bell, and Oscar Grant). This leads me to wonder why in this case did calls increase but in other cases did not? Was there a change in the neighborhoods themselves like the research suggested, or have over time African Americans just become accustom to these stories and don’t care to change anything

In 2014, roughly 500,000 people immigrated, legally, into the U.S. Immigration used to be an essential feature of the United States; a component of who they are. The United States of America used to pride itself on its ability to assimilate people of any race and culture into it’s “melting pot” ideal. However, some experts are starting to worry that the intake of immigrants is becoming too

employment rate would also reduce crime rates and keep people from going to prison. Reduced crime rates among African Americans would raise the chances of getting hired by the employers. This paper will look at the various aspects of unemployment such as a scope of African-American unemployment, the reasons of high unemployment rates, government’s effort to improve the employment rates and what African-Americans can do to raise their employment rate. On average unemployment rates of African-Americans are significantly higher compared to whites. The current unemployment rate for whites is 3.9% whereas for African-Americans is 8.9%.

As the number of indentured servants, and later slaves, increased in pre-revolution era America, elements of a new American way of life began to materialize. Among these were a dislike of doing our own work, and the mistreatment of people that were believed to be of a lower class. Although these ideals mostly began to disappear over time, they were a core part of the American culture for centuries. Over the course of about 150 years, the number of Africans being imported to the Americas rose from 500 to a quarter of a million. A very scarce few of these slaves were eventually released, therefore “the assumption slowly spread that blacks would remain in service permanently.”

From the time Richard was born to the present day, there have been many advances in black equality, but racism and discrimination are still very apparent in our society today. There has been an increase in black pride and the encouragement for blacks to advance in social status, but a majority of blacks still remain in the bottom sector of the economic and social class. Richard Wright was born after the Civil War, but before the Civil Rights Movement. If he were writing an autobiography today about a black boy growing up in the United States, he would write about the positive increase of African American pride and empowerment, but also the unjust and sanctioned police brutality, and the growing poverty among most blacks.

A brief history of the area shows that the population was predominantly White in the 1950’s, then changed to being more diverse while being predominantly Black, and is now packed with Asian culture. The diversity in 1950 was 67.7% White, 32.3% Black, and 0.7% Other (1950 Decennial). Then in 1980 it changed to 38.6% White, 42.8% Black, and 4.9% Asian (1980 Decennial). Now the recent statistics about Main Street are 9.3% White, 29.4% Black, and 40.6% Asian (2014 American Community Survey).

Though the demographic crowd maybe stayed the same, the median household income of the people moving into to Harlem had significantly gone up. With all the modifications, the people who once lived in Harlem can no longer afford to live in Harlem, because gentrification cranks up the prices of living. That is why people of higher statuses with more money are able to move in, while people of lower status and less money are being pushed out. These modifications are all signs of gentrification
