How Do We Treat Black People

“The black family in the age of mass incarceration,” author Ta-Nehisi Coates toss back on the attempt of “The Negros family”, report by the American politician and sociologist Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s have benefactor to reduce America’s mass detainment, bringing about a country with the world’s biggest jail populace and the largest rate of detainment. In this article, he explained about the difficulties of black families about the racism that have continually arisen in times gone by to present day.

In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird based in the early 1900’s after The Great Depression Harper Lee uses stereotypes to show the true humanity within a person no matter the age, gender, race, or place in society. This is a subject has impacted people in the past, and is still impacting the people of today. These are tough issues to talk about, but Lee wrote it so all people would understand how important it is not to judge until you understand the person.

During the 1800’s slavery had been an issue not only around the country but throughout the world. It created many disputes and caused many violent outbursts. There was even a war fought over the right to own slaves. To some they thought slavery was unjust and inhumane but to others they thought that it was the only way to make profit. However in 1865 the constitution finally outlawed slavery in the us.(13th amendment) The constitution stated that governments were prohibited from depriving a person 's life, liberty and property. Although slavery was abolished many African Americans were still deprived of their rights and were treated just as poorly as before. The reconstruction was not only a failure but was treated as a joke to all african americans. This idea is shown through laws against African Americans and the unfair way they were treated.

As a young black male in 2017, our society has me racially profiled. Anytime they see a young black male like myself, eyebrows raise. Society does not view us as equals, they view us as a minority even though we are a majority. We are viewed as the ground the walk on. They think we will never amount to anything. The African American population has contributed so much to this country and we still don't get the respect we deserve. Society expects us to fail, drop out of school, live a life of crime. Society expects me to have four kids and three baby mamas and on probation bc I can't pay child support. Society expects me to deal drugs and be in gang related activities. If I am walking through a wealthy neighborhood after dark society expects

Challenges are events that are used to change you for the better should you choose it accept it. The challenges I have faced wasn’t a matter of choice but of something that I have no control over. Some people will tell you it’s a burden, some say it’s an entitlement or free ride. Science says it’s just having a high amount of melatonin due to geographical location for survival. To me though, being black probably one of the biggest challenges a human can have in America at least I find it terribly perplexing. I say this because of what is portrayed in the media, the people I have been raised with, and racism itself in the black community. Keep in mind that this is from my own personal experiences and perspective so everything I say is just applies from my point of

As you grow up in the American Education system you are taught the basics of American History, the triumphs of how we won our country from those damn brits to how we helped drastically in World War II. You’ll then transition into learning about the flaws within American history, however in reality, those flaws is the true American history. Those flaws would include the oppression, murder and marginalizing of any person of color; unfortunately their reality is much different than to that of White America. In “Working’ on the Chain Gang” by Walter Mosley he discusses how the history of blacks in America is the true American experience or the actual American History, because their reality hasn’t changed since the day european colonizers brought

I think it was wrong to treat blacks unequally because of something they can 't control. They can 't control what their skin color is or what they were born with, so how does it make sense? Integration was very important at this time, just imagine your family was treated unfairly no matter how long you fought for your country. African Americans fought in wars side by side of whites and yet still get treated unfairly just because they have darker skin. I think that segregation is sort of like communism, no matter how hard you fight you cannot reach a higher even in life.

How come people are treating African Americans differently than how they treat white people? People believe that we treat African Americans differently is because of their skin color and because they think that they are bad. American people are just as bad, people think just because their skin color that they are “up to no good.” In the modern world people don't separate them as much as they did back then. In this book there is something bad that happens. The thing that is so bad is someone was accused of rape and they didn't even do it. This “someone's” name is Tom Robinson. Tom is African American and lives in the south. He has a wife and kids. There is a trial that goes on for him and Atticus is the only person in the case that is defending

WEB Dubois wrote an essay in which he said that african Americans and minorities had a responsibility to work hard achieve success because of all the hardship and sacrifices their ancestors had experienced. Just by being an African American is harsh from other racial groups. It 's a struggle to find a job and to retain it. Because our ancestors have faced with slavery and segregation. They fought for us (the youth) to have a better life than theirs. A lazy life cannot be an option.

African Americans have been treated unjustly for many years. At some point congress thought it was a time for change. This led to the Civil War, where America fell apart over equal rights for slaves. When North won, the slaves were freed, and Congress made three new amendments to the Constitution. Luckily, for the blacks the 15th Amendment was added to the Constitution. The 15th amendment is giving equal right to the black men to vote. After the amendment was ratified, African American suffrage lasted about a century.

People wondered if us african americans can be equal. Since the beginning of time us african american people we’ve been slaves until 1865. People treats us like if we aren’t nothing. They don’t give us the right to do anything, we are human beings too. We are the same just because our color is different it doesn’t mean anything. We deserve to be able to study, have our own home, live a peaceful life like everyone else. During the years none of us have been able to become someone successful in life because they think we don’t deserve it. We have all been through a rough life.

More as the years go on people try to pretend that just because slavery has come to an end and the civil rights movement occurred that racism has just suddenly vanished, but that's not the case. Racism is taught in our society; it is not automatic. It is a learned behavior toward persons with dissimilar physical characteristics. Racism is very evident in men's professional sports today but also had an even greater effect in the past, I'm talking back to the 40s. There was a point in time where African American males were not allowed to participate in professional sports and they were shunned and labeled as outcast who did not have the decency to step on the same field, court

In the last 10 years, polar opposite groups have come to light, such as Black Lives Matter and Blue Lives Matter; at the surface, these seem to be about police brutality but under the surface, racial tensions are the cause. While Black Lives Matter, or black advocates, has some extreme members which take their purpose of “black lives matter TOO” and change it into “black lives matter MORE, blue lives matter, or mostly white supremacists, is not without its faults as well. White Supremacists favors the protection of its fellow officers above the safety of citizens; even in situations where no danger is present, black lives are lost. With these two extremes, and much more, it begs the question if race relations have gotten worse or better and

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background or his religion. People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” As shown in today’s society racism is a belief of certain genetic traits that are determined by human’s abilities and capacities. Quantity differences lead them to the belief that certain races has few inherited traits of superiority, most importantly is the skin color. Racism creates the racial discrimination which affects the life of many people in the society. As seen in the media white people has a lot of privileges and receives an acceptable respect from their society than the black

To Kill a Mocking Bird was a genius creation, written by Harper Lee, in this amazing novel she shows how prejudice and bias affected people on the daily basis in the small town of Maycomb in the early 1930s. During that time African Americans were mistreated because of the heavy prejudice against their skin color. The prejudice created by ignorant people in power who did not want toa see the world in someone else’s eyes, if people would just put themselves in African American shoes they would understand their mistakes and fix the problem.
