The African Americans were treated unfairly and they were the first group of people that were laid off during any economic downturn. When things were bad economically the Blacks suffered even more.

Some of the African Americans eventually left and this was called The Great
Many of them can not find jobs in the society, but they need money to live. Then, many of them became robbers and it made the crime rate in the city increasing. This situation made many whites do not like the blacks. In addition, in the 1890s in north carolina, many African-American got political power. And some of them became so company owners.
This quote shows that black people are treated unfairly in the society. More than that, white people treat black people as some kind of slaves. They do not care that black people will live or die. They only know that they have more power in their hands than black community. Therefore, discrimination against based on skin-color seems to be tearing down many black people’s lives in that period of
In today's day and age for example, there are people who are still racist, people who don't accept blacks because of their color and culture, but today blacks understand that and accept it. This is what happened exactly back in the day, so in a way Booker T. Washington was right, blacks would never be accepted thoroughly into the country. Even though there are more rights now for blacks than there was back then there is still racism in this country. Most of the racism nowadays does not so much focus with blacks but mostly Indians and Mexicans that are now entering this country. In a way then Booker T. Washington's theory will most likely last throughout history (Johnson & Watson,
A lot of American citizens don't like the idea of this immigration reform because they think the United States its going to get worst and because the immigration reform is against their morals and the law. One of the cons is that less-skilled American citizens will earn less money and have fewer job opportunities because they must compete with immigrants in the job market. American citizens don't want the immigration reform because they think immigrants are going to take away their opportunity for jobs. The economy is bad right now with jobs. There is less opportunity of jobs than before.
Daniel Pacheco English 101 H. Barsamian 4/29/12 The Immortal Life of Segregation To me social class is what matters most today. People have judgments about others based on their economic standing. People treat other people differently because one is richer then the other. We are all separated into social class the lower class are all grouped together in one neighborhood and the rich in another but we cant be mixed we have to stay in our social class.

It discusses other ideas associated with racial prejudice such as the effects of a social hierarchy. Mississippi Burning, likewise to Wild Cat Falling, explores how the ‘coloured’ people were being racially discriminated and prejudiced against since the white Americans too, had an ethnocentric perspective on their coloured neighbours. A quote that supports the concept of ethnocentrism is, “he wasn’t doing anything except be a negro”. The diction of negro creates a tone of anger in the quote which helps illustrates the same concept of, if you’re black then you will be excluded, denied public facilities and racially prejudiced by the white society. Furthermore the tone creates an authentic voice which helps illustrate to the audience the African Americans anger and frustration towards the concept and from being racially prejudiced against in general.
Reishunda McShane Diversity in the United States with African Americans in Leadership roles The workplace increasingly is more diverse than ever before. For decades African Americans, women, and many minorities were excluded from participating in most of the desirable jobs and institutions. Even when declared unconstitutional, the discrimination against minority groups often persisted. Although some work organizations are making progress in their efforts to combat discrimination, African Americans particularly still face a series of unique problems imposed on them through the complex interactions of racially motivated negative attitudes and actions of individual and organizational policies and practices not encountered by Caucasians.
. “In the South, the concept of separate but equal had always been a sham: It might have been separate, but it was never equal” Segregation and ill-treatment towards the African American community followed the race into the workplace. “White teacher salaries were 30 percent higher; and there was virtually no transportation for black children to and from school. The disparity was even greater at the college level, where the Southern states spent $86 million in white colleges and $5 million on black colleges” African Americans simply wanted change. “They demanded equality under the law—to be judged as individuals and not as members of a minority race.” These happenings and social wrongdoings are essentially what caused African Americans to want more of a change than ever before.
Due to this, the black community is prejudiced against and does not ever get the chance to rise in society. As a result, many important cases, such as the one relating to Tom Robinson and Mayella Ewell, are not anymore about right versus wrong, but more towards black versus white. Due to this and the highly prejudiced society of Maycomb, Tom Robinson and his lawyer "Atticus Finch won't win, [they] can't win." This shows that due to his colour, Tom Robinson did not have a chance to win the court case, and thus it shows the height of the prejudice in Maycomb society. Therefore, the "simple hell people give other people" relates to all grievances sparked unintentionally by society due to there being a lack of knowledge or understanding of the personality of the person who was discriminated against or simply a lack of empathy between
