155 Words1 Page

Inequality, or a one-sided situation in which some have more rights or better opportunities than others (Webster, 2015) is not a foreign subject to most of us. In light of recent racial tensions throughout America, there appears to be a large amount of controversy surrounding this term and how it applies to us in today’s day and age. This simple ten-letter word has made multiple appearances in the last ten months and continues to do so with each passing day. Inequality could sometimes be mistaken for the word “inequity”, or “the fact or quality of being unfair; unfairness, partiality” (OED, 2015.) While the two have their similarities, the situations in which they are used vary immensely. The major difference between the two when it comes to

Obama is the first African American president and the majority of African Americans voted for him, which led to his presidential win. Although, Obama has done many wrongdoings like providing Iraq with military grade weapons, but he is still treated fairly by the House of Representatives.

African Americans have fought endlessly for their rights to give them justice, but the Clergy believe it to be “unwise and untimely” (P.3). They feel the need to tell African Americans to wait, not considering how harmful it is to them. MLk responds to the Clergymen, by giving reasons on why they can’t wait to have equality and justice. The African Americans have been mistreated by white people for years, and have witnessed first hand the brutality that continues to plague them, “when you have seen hate-filled policemen curse,kick,brutalize, and even kill your black brothers and sisters” (P.10).

Native American populations were decimated by diseases brought oversea by Europeans and forced from their ancestral lands by settlers to make room for their expanding populations.

    Segregation and its inequality effects have left a very heavy impression on the city of Berkeley. While it would be wrong to ignore the interventions taken up to decrease the achievement gap as expressed by neoliberal scholars above, we can not turn blind eye to the several post desegregation academic issues still prevailing. Segregation has lawfully been abolished (Landsberg 2015), however, obverse statistics exemplify a reality of unequal opportunities and resources amongst children (Yang & Qiu 2016). Daunting political history and extreme marginalization have forced individuals into a poverty trap, which educational programs must partake in, in order to alleviate the ramifications of (Wade 2015).
