It is my personal opinion that this was not a just decision and that the end result led to violence, a civil uprising and the murders of great leaders such as Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. Many have said that Dr King could have become the first African American President but he was tragically murdered. Unfortunately for our
Holocaust happened because Hitler and the Nazis were racist. They believed the German people were a 'master race', who were superior to others. They even created a league table of 'races' with the Aryans at the top and with Jews, Gypsies and black people at the bottom. These 'inferior' people were seen as a threat to the purity and strength of the German nation. When the Nazis came to power they persecuted these people, took away their human rights and eventually decided that they should be exterminated.
Holocaust Why was there a Holocaust, how did it affect people and why is it important that we remember it? Task 1 The Holocaust was an extremely tragic period of time in history between the years of 1933 to 1945. At an approximately 11 million lives were lost because of cruel racial prejudice. The killings took place in Europe during World War two run by the German Nazi party led by Adolf Hitler. The majority of the victims killed were Jews because they were undesirable and not the same race as the German Nazi’s.
Advanced Topics in Criminal Justice Professor Russ Pomrenke IP 2 Michael Davidson Due Date 3/03/14 One of the oldest, violent and stormy domestic terroristic groups of this country’s history is known as the Ku Klux Klan (also known as the KKK). One can say they began domestically terrorizing those of African decent people post abolishment of slavery; they refused to acknowledge people of color as equals. The Anti-Defamation League describes this group as “…a racist, anti-Semitic movement with a commitment to extreme violence to achieve its goals of racial segregation and white supremacy.” (adl.org) It can be said that they preach hatred against non-whites and non-Christians with violent intimidating means. According to History.com the
Blacks are the often the first target of neo-nazi’s and white supremacists. Macdonald uses this to justify the murder of Blacks; “If we are going to cave in people’s heads with bricks, they must be people who deserve it” (Macdonald 10). The person who “deserves it” in the book is a Black convenient store owner, who the Organization choses to rob and kill. James Byrd Jr., a 49 year old Black man, was brutally murdered in Texas on June 7, 1998 by 3 white white men who were racially motivated based on the writing of Macdonald. When Netzley was describing the connection of Byrd’s murder and The Turner Diaries, she wrote “...African -American James Byrd Jr. is beaten and dragged to his death behind a pickup truck, one of his assailants, John King, will say ‘We’re starting The Turner Diaries early’’ (Netzley 5).
Dr. King, therefore, his defeat was pertinent. As seen through the bombing of his house, any means necessary were taken to critically hurt or eventually kill Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Rev. Dr. King’s assassination was a stepping stone in achieving equal rights for African Americans. “Through our pain we will make them see their injustice” (www.spartacus.schoolnet.co).
Adolph Hitler is one of the most evil men in history. Hitler, who was the leader of Nazi Germany was responsible for the segregation and genocide of Jewish people for over a decade. Hitlers mission for the mass murder started at the beginning of the world war and continued till the end with him committing suicide. This has raised many questions on his nature as a human being. His act of evil resulting in the deaths of over twelve million Jewish people, which was more than half the Jewish population at the time is unforgettable and horrifying till today.
Camelia McCallum Mrs. Heiden SOPH CP LA 25 April 2011 Crucial Times of the Holocaust What man would create a breeding ground for extreme discrimination of his own people? Throughout the Second World War the chancellor of Germany allowed the brutal murderers of over six million Jewish German citizens. The killing of the innocent people took place in concentration camps in the span of a few years. Two infamous death camps were Auschwitz two Birkenau and Mauthausen. Even though Birkenau and Muahthausen had differences, they both are historically some of the worst concentration camps of the Holocaust.
That is only 27.3%. Many of the whites lynched were lynched for helping the black or being anti lynching and for domestic crimes. Was lynching the answer? African American were getting lynch for he say she say, because some of the facts don’t add up. Rape was one of the main reasons for black
same race crimes drastically different from one another? Referring back to paragraphs three and five, America’s reaction to a white and Hispanic male killing a black caused a drastic uproar. America reacted with protests, speeches, vandalisms, and looting, while the reaction to black on black crimes are little to none. People seemed to just sit back and observe it as if black on black crimes are expected. That shouldn’t be the mind-set of America.
