There is no such thing as segregation, and every citizen is granted their civil rights. Even though things are different now and you don’t see “for whites only”, discrimination exist among all races. Racism is still an issue today it might not be as bad as before but it still exist. People are constantly being stereotyped which coincides with a huge issue today that as it seems by every news outlet if you’re not white you’re in danger of being a victim of police brutality.

While groups like the Nation of Islam, once a haven to visionaries such as Malcolm X, and the ideologies of black nationalism which preached a nation state in which black people could be separate but equal still exist, they are less extreme. This may be because civil rights have existed for a relatively long time in the public psych and has become normal. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to petition for a cause that has already been achieved. This is one area where equality in America has been

Malcolm X demonstrated the anger and the struggle, of the African Americans in the 1960s. During his lifetime he influenced many African Americans to stand up for their rights against the injustices set by the American government. Malcolm was criticized for his extremist views and actions while on the other hand he has been praised for his efforts in raising the status for African Americans.

If there is a fire, moreover, then the person cannot get out of the home because he would have to climb over the mountainous piles of useless items that grabs them and pulls them back. The hoarder’s home, consequently, has a higher risk than most people have for getting a formation of mold in the home. They start piling things and stacking garbage that does not move from its place, so the mold is able to grow under the clutter and could slowly devour the home. Some cases of hoarding are so bad, however, that the hoarder even keeps the garbage and, yet again, increase the risk of getting mold in the house.
The political and legislative law made blacks follow segregation laws(Jim Crow laws) and in essence did not give them equal human rights to those of whites. In essence the human rights as people, even of a different race, were being denied(“The entire civil rights struggle needs a new interpretation… Civil rights means you’re asking Uncle Sam to treat you right. Human rights are a God given rights. Expand the civil rights struggle to the level of human rights(source C)).
