“Overzealous officials” grill suspicious foreigners “to the point of near panic” (Khan 559). In worst cases, death has occurred Haitians seeking refuge, a man was not allowed to keep his medication while he was put in Krome (Danticant 569). The profiling does not only happen with officials, but many Americans often profile foreigners. Americans heightened suspicion on not only non-Americans, but on Americans with Middle Eastern traits. Americans know “racial profiling is both morally wrong and ineffective”, but they rather be safe than sorry (Chavez 563).
Violence in a well ordered society is a rule that is often times broken. Both texts Lizzie Bright and the Buckminsters Boy and The Outsiders show that violence lead to death and the disruption of a society. In the first novel, Lizzie Bright and The Buckminsters Boy, The White People of the Pittsburg society wanted The Blacks out of their own island because they wanted to use it as a tourist resort. After the Blacks refused to move of the island, people of the Pittsburg community took matters into their own hands burning down their homes and everything that they held to their name. This resulted in a death of many blacks due to starvation and the fumes of the fire.
This man caused a family to be broken, a man to be scarred forever, and disturbed the minds of thousands of people across the nation. I guess it goes without saying that he deserved far more than life in prison with a chance of parole. This criminal deserved the DEATH penalty. You should definitely consider this a case of injustice. Lastly, the Charles Manmosn case was a situation of injustice because it make other criminals think that they can get away with doing wrong things without getting proper punishment.
The two main races involved in the story, Black and White, had some tension with each other, but the breaking point was the death of the young teen, Eric McGinnis, which those of Benton believed was caused by the luxury-holding residents of St. Joseph. The impoverished residents of Benton Harbor started desiring retribution for what they thought was
In some parts of the world people from different backgrounds are in genocide. For the way they look, act, and what they wear. Punished or tortured for the name they brand or they cross they carry, or even the book they carry. We have laws to abide by, but fanatic individuals brainwashed by evil create acts of violence that prove that the war is still here and more than real. Just because we are not in the same continent or country as them, they are still are brothers and the hate mongering and hatred acts towards them are a feeling of unhappiness scene al around the world.
“Many Americans held the president personally to blame for the crisis and began calling the shantytowns that unemployed people established on the outskirts of cities “Hoovervilles” (B, 676; CD) The 1930’s also show examples of our continuing inequality in America. As the white males began to lose their jobs and some African Americans continued to work, people believed in this crisis white males had first priority when it came to jobs and started replacing the African Americans. (B, 665; CD) Mexicans during the depression were rounded up and were forced to
The economic impact was enormous. Some would argue the Black Death improved a lot of the lower classes and helped their freedom by destroying the serfdom. This let people bargain wages with would-be employers, because of the shortage of workers brought about by the plague. Most people during that time believed the Black Death to of God’s work. God was angry at humanity and took his revenge on sin the wickedness.
Many similarities can be found between the way in which German Americans were treated during World War I and the way Muslim Americans were treated after the 9/11 terrorist attack. German Americans suffered discrimination during a war they had nothing to do with and the same unfair treatment happened with Islamic and Arab Americans after the 9/11 attacks. This was widespread and hurt many innocent people solely because of people’s ignorance and racism. The discrimination of German Americans started when they stood up and labeled themselves anti-war. This caused the people and President Wilson to question their loyalty to America.
As a white living in this County, I can see how visible and evident racial prejudice against the blacks has clouded the minds of many. Bob Ewell is one example of which racial prejudice has taken over his righteous mind. He had accused the innocent Tom Robinson for raping his daughter, Mayella Ewell. During the proceedings of the trial, however, was humiliated by Atticus Finch as he pointed the lies and flaws that lied in his testimony. Just yesterday, he had done another act which is hideous of mankind, taking revenge on Atticus Finch’s children, Jeremy Finch and Jean Louise Finch.
