According to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1968) “Segregation is the adultery of an illicit intercourse between injustice and immorality.” These policies created racial segregation between illegal immigrants by promoting that they should not be able to have access to everything a citizen can.

  • De Facto Segregation In America

    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. America’s roots come from the fight against oppression, yet as our country continued to grow we became the oppressors. Although America has tried to write some of its wrongs from the past there are still traces left behind. The effects of segregational laws and sketchy housing practices have carried on to hurt minorities in America. Segregational laws have been eradicated, but the societal sigmas created from the laws continue and have created a process of De Facto segregation in American society against all minorities.

    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. As a result, segregation is wrong because it restricted the rights of African Americans and denied many of a good education.

Segregation is the way we separate races but when compared to residential segregation, it is the actual physical separation of two or more races or groups in a population.

    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. We are protected by the bill of rights which provides us with a lot of safety.

While research tends to focus on the genetic determinants of racial health inequities, it fails to consider how various structural determinants impact the health of these groups.
