The largest 500 companies in The United States do not have blacks as chief executives. Of course, there are some blacks fights for the unjust treatment, but others submitted to the unjust treatment. “In part of few middle-class Negroes who, because of a degree of academic and economic security and because in some ways they profit by segregation, have become insensitive to the problems of the masses” (King 7). This is very dreadful phenomenon because some of blacks bribed by the government, and it reduce the strength of against evil. We should remembered bitter experience; we should say “on more” for the unjust treatment; we should change the way people thought. Only if all the blacks and other minorities unity together, this world will become better.

    Dr. King illustrates the illogical wrong doings of America towards black people in his two writings to represent the error and injustice in segregation. In “I Have a Dream” Dr. King explains that even though slavery ended “one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free.” In addition to this in “I Have a Dream”, the text also states that the constitution promised “unalienable Rights” to all American citizens but it has failed to give black people, american citizens, their rights.

Muhammad’s lecture was awakening, informative and true, he was extremely objective and analytical in his ability to scan back and forth across the broad array of positive and negative influences. Muhammad described all the many factors during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries since the abolition of slavery and also gave many examples of how blackness was condemned in American society in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Professor Muhammad was able to display how on one hand, initial limitations made blacks seem inferior, and various forms of white prejudice made things worse. But on the other hand, when given the same education and opportunities, there are no differences between black and white achievements and positive contributions to society.

    Racial inequalities have gripped the nation for centuries and haven’t seemed to have vanished as many claim they have. Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech in which he addresses this issue, “I Have a Dream,” is the most compelling speech because he conveys his opinion on peacefully gaining equality clearly by using strong literary devices. He convinces that blacks would not give up on equality, they would gain it without violence, and ignoring their position would do nothing to change it. No matter what occurred during their attempts for their rightful place in society, the blacks refused to give up.

    In the era of the Jim Crow laws, African Americans were upset because they were segregated in public places. King informs Americans that they “can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro’s basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one” (9). King exaggerates that African Americans can never be in peace as long as they do not have equal rights.

This shows how blacks have to live in a society in which they seen as inferior and degraded as a person and it is unreasonable for them to have the patience to wait for these incidents to stop occurring.

    Racism and racial inequality was extremely prevalent in America during the 1950’s and 1960’s. James Baldwin shows how racism can poison and make a person bitter in his essay “Notes of a Native Son”. Dr. Martin Luther King’s “A Letter from Birmingham Jail” also exposes the negative effects of racism, but he also writes about how to combat racism. Both texts show that the violence and hatred caused from racism form a cycle that never ends because hatred and violence keeps being fed into it. The actions of the characters in “Notes of a Native Son” can be explain by “A Letter from Birmingham Jail”, and when the two texts are paired together the racism that is shown in James Baldwin’s essay can be solved by the plan Dr. King proposes in his
