The separating of black and white has caused many problems in society and these inequalities are still felt today. Rebellion, revolution, boycotting and even riots, have led to tensions between the two races. Additionally, desegregating schools led to a learning gap between black and white students. The Constitution states that no state can make the law that takes away the rights and privileges of citizens making them immune to it. Desegregation of public places should be allowed because it is inequitable to separate humans based on the color or pigmentation of their skin.
Slaves are not included in the Constitution’s discussion of inalienable rights and therefore are not granted the Constitutional rights of other citizens of the United States of America. However, the Constitution does not specify in that slaves are not citizens of the United States of America, the federal government gives the states the rights to govern themselves, and the Constitution does not specify race in the discussion of inalienable rights granted. Therefore, Blacks do have the opportunity to obtain Constitutional rights. The country, in a nutshell, is simply a group of states, made up of a group of vastly diverse peoples. The states all possess but a few defined rights, none of which is the right to decide who and who is not a citizen of the United States of America.
“And by virtue of the power and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States and parts of States are, and henceforward shall be, free; and that the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons” (The Emancipation Proclamation 1864). The Emancipation Proclamation is one of the many constitutions that speaks American democracy. Though we continue to experience discrimination in American from racism, the laws of this constitution has created the stepping stones for equality, freedom, and laws to protect all people. Thomas Jefferson stated that all men are created equal and the pursuit of happiness, liberty, and life should be the quality of life for Americans (pg. 60).
White people believed they were superior to the blacks and barely viewed them as human beings. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee writes accurate descriptions of how racism was ingrained in the daily lives of Americans such as Aunt Alexandra whose response to Scout as to why she cannot play with a black boy is "Because- he – is – trash, that’s why you can’t play with him". Alexandra is not giving Scout a real reason why because she has no reason other than she grew up with society telling her black and white children could not play together and was brainwashed into believing it. Another situation that shows the shocking segregation is when Cecil Jacobs asked a question about why the Jewish were persecuted in class "But that ain’t no cause to persecute ‘em. They’re white aren’t they?"
Microsoft’s antitrust cases, OJ Simpson, Enron, All examples from recent news that prove that you are only equal to your bank account. All men are created equal also contradicts the most commonly heard of the bill of rights, freedom of speech. Freedom of speech states that you can say whatever you want, no matter how offensive or derogatory. This in my opinion is a more important rule. Because I have the right to freedom of speech, I can start an anti blue eyed community, and preach anti blue eyes gospel.
Rebecca Rupley April 19, 2012 “No courts. No justice. No freedom.” The United States’ government is a constitutional democracy. This means that the nation is subjugated under the will of its people, so long as it is in accordance with the U.S. Constitution. In a more concrete understanding, the Constitution of the United States includes those “unalienable rights” initially granted to each citizen in the Declaration of Independence (1776).
For her to think that the power she has over “black people” should be enough is wrong. The disturbing thing is that the lower classes are not expecting respect from the higher classes and instead just live with it and do not do anything about it. The lower classes are just cooperating with the demands of the class system by
This certainly isn’t true, and Mexicans who are in the United States now face prejudice and stereotypes every day. “As a result, the stereotypes attributed to all Mexicans - however unfounded - may have been shaped unfairly by adversaries of illegal Mexican immigrants, even though they have a job and are hard workers” (Laws 1). Some judge Mexicans based on their language, skin color, education, and assumed social and economic status. This prejudice of Mexicans is due to their past history in Mexico and due to them belonging to a disadvantaged group. Many perceive southerners as uneducated, poor, and ignorant just by their accents and dialect.
The African Americans were forced to come to the USA; they were not immigrants by choice. They were discriminated against, made slaves of and treated like animals, or maybe even worse. Looking back, it is hard to imagine that human beings could be responsible for such cruelty, and to think that racial segregation was legal until 60 years ago. More so it is a terrifying thought that it took almost two hundred and fifty years before it was made illegal to hold humans as slaves, in the USA. America has a dark history of slavery, but after 1863 vassalage was abolished.
Today and those who shouted Niger! Yesterday the abyss is experience.” (319) His felt a discriminated about racism, skin of color and they came to another country because he think he look different than other people but we are the same people like all of them and they are equal the only different it’s the race and Our costumed and tradition. I think we have to stopped discriminated them because isn’t fair they are offended and they feel complain about himself .we
