Sometimes Americans saw Asians as a threat because in California, Japanese very much controlled the market in some fruits and vegetables. The ways Asians have contributed to American culture by aiding in the construction of the Transcontinental Rail Road and during World War II they fought against the world conflict in a segregated unit in the Air Force (Marshall, 1999). Asians were discriminated on when they began to arrive in the United States. Many Asians thought education was a way to get away from the low paying jobs. The second generation Asians, born in the United States could not get better paying jobs because of the discrimination against them.
“Did Slavery Destroy the Black Family?” Slavery in the USA had a large impact on all Afro-American population, which inhabited the country at that time. This impact can be still felt nowadays, as the consequences of such a relationship between the whites and the blacks are immense. Common opinion on the modern institute of black family is rather negative, stating that the black families are not so morally developed as the white ones. Although, there is a large number of single-parent black families living in the USA, however, the number of white single-parent families is not smaller. In order to understand the problems that black families face it is necessary to analyze the development of black families throughout the history.
Nowadays many races are stereotyped, but African Americans are one of the most frequently racial groups stereotyped against.

Advocacy for the African American Clientele Danielle M. Spencer Capella University The African American Clientele African Americans are a multifaceted ethnic group. Even though African Americans are considered to be a single culture, various cultural differences exist within this group. This same account could be used to describe many cultures, but it is African Americans who have one of the highest historically oppressive pasts and who continue to confront various hurdles along the lines of colorism, chauvinism and classism. African Americans must repeatedly struggle for excellence in a world that embraces policies and systems first established to retain them from crossing over the invisible line of accomplishment. However,
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.
Fighting for equal rights in the 1950’s was a job all in itself for coloreds in Monroe, North Carolina. Whether defending themselves from white supremacists or trying to fight for what’s right against racist law enforcers, life was not easy for colored peoples. In the first reading section of the book Negros With Guns by Robert F. Williams, I see that society definitely matters more then law.

We see that the black community in Monroe takes up at least a quarter of the population, yet coloreds are still heckled by a large portion of the community.

Many leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, W.E.B. Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, Rosa Parks, Booker T. Washington, Philip Randolph, and even Harriet Tubman helped the movement of the Civil Rights
Discrimination of African Americans has been a problem in the united states for as long as we've been here. Although it has gotten better in many aspects there are still some very undeniable issues in the country. Many of the processes have changed today but just the same many of the same racial hate groups remain the same as fifty years ago. Much of today's discrimination towards African Americans can be traced back to family roots. The way someone has been brought up is not that persons fault but too often it is used as an excuse to an inexcusable act of racism.
It is easy to say that equality was achieved among our African American citizens by looking around in today's America. Today we may pay no mind to the struggles and hardships African Americans endured throughout our history as a nation. However, we know that many wars were fought and many people stood up for what's right; they stood up for liberty and justice for all. There are many ways African Americans stood united to fight discrimination, end segregation and isolation, and finally attain full equality and civil rights (Bowles 2011). It was a long process that began way before the civil rights movement of the 1950s and '60s (Bowles 2011).
