Black History & Religion

History, a collection of the past, holds a lot of information about events and society to help inform us in the present as it is the only data

Few in this country would argue with the fact that the United States criminal justice system possesses discrepancies which adversely affect Blacks in this country. Numerous studies and articles have been composed on the many facets in which discrimination, or at least disparity, is obvious. Even whites are forced to admit that statistics indicate that the Black community is disproportionately affected by the American legal system. Controversy arises when the issue of possible causes of, and also solutions to, these variations are discussed. It’s not just black versus white, it is white versus white, and white versus oriental, whatever the case may be, and it is not justice. If we see patterns then the judges should have the authority to say something. Jury nullifications cannot be overturned regardless of the cause. Exclusionary rule, according to CULS (2010) – Prevents the government from using most evidence gathered in violation of U.S. Constitution; like unreasonable search and seizure (Fourth Amendment).

“finding suggests that giving judges more discretion in sentencing, as the Booker decision did in 2005, allows more racial bias to seep into the process.” Additionally, if sentence disparity were to be removed, the number of black men in federal prisons would reduced and it would save taxpayers a load

The history of religion in the United States comes a long way dating from the early 1600s when the first pilgrim settlers came to this country. It has been noted that these settlers were highly influenced by the Protestant faith which led to a community level of influence in this country as well. The faith of theses settlers were motivated from the New World of Europe where they practiced their religion in a peaceful environment. Later in history, it was noted that people of Spanish decent started the famous network of the Catholic missions in California. When California became a part of the United States, Catholic churches and institutes were formed. These churches and institutes were also formed in New Orleans and Louisiana.

Today we learn about black history in America, not about Negro History. Who tells he story is what makes the difference; the people who lived it VS the people who watched it. Primary source documents tell the stories about what was happening on the ground. These are the best way to teach ourselves about how education was for Negros, the way lawsuits played a role in the civil rights movements, how a “Battle in Cuba” shaped new men, and how the community came together to get this done.

Actually, Africans contributed to the construction of the first church in Jamestown, Virginia in 1647 among many other people. Africans were treated better before the first African slaves arrived in 1619. African slaves could marry through their church, they could practice the settler’s religion during earlier years of the sixteen hundred. However, the African slaves were limited after servitude was becoming the social norms of society. Despite the restrictions African slaves faced on a daily basis, slaves were able to continue to practice their religious beliefs from their place of origin. Furthermore, African American were able to adapt parts of the Christian faith with their own personal practice of religion that was also contributed to their political stance of slavery overall.

Ever since the late 16th century African American people have been treated unfairly and forced to work as slaves against their will. The religion, racism has turned our world upside down by defacing colored people’s homes and stores and physically harming the African American people. “A product of the belief that humans are divided into separate and exclusive biological entities called ‘races’ is racism, an ideology based on the notion that some races are innately superior to others,”(Race and ethnicity). In the modern 21st century African American citizens are being denied jobs, homes, and service in shops which I not only believe is wrong but needs to be eliminated around the world. The religion that is racism is currently being protected

History is a word that has been in our vocabulary for many years. It is defined as events that happened in the past. Elizabeth Boone defines history as having different meanings and layers that relate to particular subjects, places and time. She also believes that history should be defined as the selected and arranged past.

History is what happened in the past and it depends on who tells it. We study history because they want us to know what happened during the beginning of time, but I think that we have been thought wrong since we were little until now. For instance growing up they always thought us that Christopher Columbus was a good person and that he had discovered the Americas, but our teacher never really told us that Christopher Columbus and his people used to used kids and woman as sex slaves for reward, they never told us that Christopher Columbus and his people wiped out an entire tribe, they never told that Christopher Columbus used to hunt native American for fun.

History can be defined in a number of ways. One could say history is a record of events that occurred in the past, or another person could say that history is the knowledge and facts of the past. Carl Becker’s definition is perhaps the simplest and finest definition of history. Becker defines history as “the memory of things said and done” (223). Memory is history, which is what history truly is and how it should be looked at by mankind. As long as mankind has that memory, then that memory of the things said and done will become history. For mankind to truly be able to define what history is, they must understand the importance of preservation, interpretations, and periodization with the things said and done.

History by definition is the study of past events particularly in human affairs, where Historiography, its associated domain, is defined as the study of historical writing and perspective. In terms of my historic philosophy, history itself is the study of the past and the application of lessons learned by our ancestors in the present day, a vessel for the knowledge that has been handed down through generations. History allows us to establish perspective on our own lives and how our way of life came to be. Thus, it must be written and observed with an objective and unbiased lens, because establishing a valid historical perspective of the accounts and stories recounted by either side of any historical quagmire is the most important skill in the

History is the study of human experience through the time of written documents, has a much shorter time span. Written records go back to the 5,000 years ago in western Asia.

The past is what we consider to be our history. History is a series of past events that have impacted and created everything around us today. There are many positive impacts that history has had in society. Based on the findings, failures, and accomplishments of the past, there have been technological, architectural, medical, and educational advancements. Unfortunately, plenty of negative conclusions of the past have carried on into the future.

We can use the word history in so many ways and it can have so many meanings and usages. We often find that using the term history without considering the underlying concepts can be troublesome at best. In some instances we use the word history to articulate an actual event that has happened prior to today. We can also say history to show a timeline that includes a group of events or actions. We try to learn from history but often find ourselves repeating the patterns depending on if we have learned anything previous history, sometimes repeating because we did learn effective uses of past history. We want things to be consistent, in our minds we want to repeat those things that went well and avoid the things that did not. So many

A historian is a person who studies and writes about the past and is regarded as an authority on it. Historians are concerned with the continuous, methodical narrative and research of past events as relating to the human race; as well as the study of all history in time. History, in its broadest sense, is the totality of all past events, although a more realistic definition would limit it to the known past. Of all the fields of serious study and literary effort, history may be the hardest to define precisely, because the attempt to uncover past events and formulate an intelligible account of them necessarily involves the use and influence of many auxiliary disciplines and literary forms. The concern
