Argument Against Segregation

136 Words1 Page

I am going to have to disagree with you that segregation still exists in the US and has been going on for years now. People are free to move anywhere they would like and are not bound by borders or school districts. Yes, some cities have become more affluent and the cost of living in those cities is more expensive than your average suburb, but do you really think this is by design or planed to alienate a certain race of people? The fact that you say whites are moving farther and farther away from the city and causing segregation is not a true statement. It also consists of other races too. We are way past the day of segregation, and everyone has an equal shot at the American dream, or what is left of it.

    One of the most famous lines of the Declaration of Independence is that “all men are created equal…”, yet American society does not always treat people as though they are all equal.

    Why is it wrong to segregate black people from white people? After the civil war and slavery had been banned for many years at this time, the Southern Legislatures still felt as if they still needed to do something about the African American people. They passed laws known as the black codes which limited blacks’ rights and segregated them from whites.

    To me an American is someone who can make a difference in the world, someone who can be a free citizen, born and raised in the United States. The idea that everyone around us is viewed equally, looked at from the same perspective. Segregation is a thing in the past, a place where people come to see fairness and equality among people. Yes, compared to past times fairness and equality in America is better but there are still many disagreements among jobs and schooling, and crimes that are viewed at differently by race.
