Multiculturalism exist when people accept and encourage many cultures to thrive in a society. It can lead to many great outcomes, including racial and ethnic harmony, which simply means that people from different backgrounds get along well together. Living with and accepting different cultures helps us understand each other and discourage hatred and violence. Because of the diversity of cultures, religions and language of the citizens of this country, there are various problems involving ethnic relations. One could say that racism will always be a demarcation between the various races. This in turn can create tension and conflict between communities and thus may lead to bloodshed. Another country that has officially became a multicultural society is Canada, it was since 1971 when the government began to recognize the value and dignity of Canadian of all races and ethnic groups, all languages and all religions.

Haynes’s account reveals that in the midst of the abominable treatment of African Americans by many southern government systems, many white Southern Christian churches were practicing equally heinous, racist behaviors while prohibiting black worshippers from entering worship services.

To tackle this, Black people were incarcerated over minute mistakes that were technically “illegal” such as loitering or simply being suspicious. This documentary does not hold back when demonstrating that the Ku Klux Klan, one of the lead white supremacist groups of rural America, committed heinous atrocities against Black people. The KKK’s glorification in the media led to the surpassing of hate crimes, especially in the South. 13th includes images of hangings, lynchings, and real KKK groups from this era in American history to set the background for how mass incarceration started at the roots of racism.

  • The Ku Klux Klan During The Reconstruction Era

    715 Words  | 3 Pages

    Founded during the Reconstruction Era (1865-1877), The Ku Klux Klan was an extremist hate group that violently challenged social and political laws which protected certain minority groups. The Klan’s deliberate use of terror and violence reflected the passion held for a racial hierarchy, with whites at the top of the social structure. The presence of KKK was seen not only during the Reconstruction Era, but also during the post–World War I era (1920s). There are distinct similarities and differences that define the motives of the 1860s Klan and the reincarnated 1920s Klan; however, I believe these characteristics hide the true representation of the intolerance of American citizens.
