On June 12, 2016 a 29 year old man named Omar Mateen walked into Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida and killed 50 people and wounded 53 people. Omar Mateen was a security guard wanting a future in law enforcement. Pulse is a popular gay nightclub and Mateen entered the nightclub around 2 a.m. with both a handgun and a rifle. He began shooting anyone and everyone in the dark and loud nightclub while people ran to hide and protect themselves from getting shot. Some people used bodies around them to cover themselves and others crawled out the air vent when it was removed. Many people were falling to the ground and Mateen would make sure people were dead by shooting them several times. Mateen was in the restroom around 5 a.m. when he had a three hour stand off with the police until police finally crashed into the night club and shot him dead. In the past Omar Mateen was seen drinking in the nightclub many times over the past three years. The guns that Omar Mateen were legal and purchased. 39 people were pronounced dead inside the nightclub and two were pronounced dead in the parking lot. Later 11 people that were taken to the hospital were pronounced dead. This became the worst massacre shooting to occur in the United States. This called a hate crime because he targeted the LGBQT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Queer and Transgender) community and his family told the police that he has become angry about two men kissing in Miami. The police has records of Mateen calling 911 saying

The Pulse Orlando shooting was one of the deadliest shootings to happen this year. There were so many lives lost because of one man’s hatred towards a certain group of people. The shooter himself dedicated countless hours to plan his attack on the club. Hate crimes happen all the time in the United States, too many. Many people lost their lives, the shooter was well informed on how to execute his plan, and this shooting was yet another example of a hate crime.

The fight against racial discrimination in the America has continued, it may be said that the struggle has become particularly difficult in the 21st century. The laws and policies claim that only few forms of discriminations remain, in reality, racial discrimination is still existent in the US, it has continued to hinder the enjoyment of fundamental human rights by many individuals who belong to the minor racial and ethnic groups (Alexander, 2013). According to studies, racism and racial discrimination have deeply and lastingly influenced

29 year-old Omar Mateen entered Pulse, one of Orlando’s best-known gay clubs, at approximately 2 a.m. where he opened fire. He continuously entered and exited the club firing rounds of bullets in multiple rooms. The FBI arrived at the scene 5 minutes after Mateen began to shoot, helping the hostages escape and trying to control the scene. After approximately 3 hours and negotiations, FBI exchanged fire with the shooter and gunned him down at 5:14 a.m. The scene and aftermath was horrific. Mateen’s actions left 49 people killed and 53 injured (The Washington Post,

As can be seen, people try to stop discrimination, but it still occurs based on color, race, gender, and actions and people do not realize they are being racist. Even though people fight against discrimination, there are many people being mistreated based on color and race. The people being discriminated for their color, race and gender, they are often ignored. People that are a different race than white seem to hide themselves from society. All people should be treated nice in an equal

On June 12, 2016, Omar Mateen, a 29-year-old security guard, killed 49 people and wounded 58 others in a terrorist attack/hate crime inside Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, United States.Pulse was hosting a "Latin Night" and thus most of the victims were Latinos. It is the deadliest incident of violence against LGBT people in U.S. history, and the deadliest terrorist attack in the U.S. since the September 11 attacks in 2001. At the time, it was the deadliest mass shooting by a single shooter in the U.S, but was later surpassed by the 2017 Las Vegas Strip shooting.

The Supreme Court made a drastic change as it changed the idea of marriage for the better and gave rights to same sex couples which they so rightfully

Discrimination is an unjustified, inexcusable crime against people of a different race. Most importantly, commonly discriminated races are discouraged and commonly stereotyped as negative people and are overall expected to be failures. This is why the percentage of white homeowners is 73%, while in second place is only 47% for Latino homeowners. “Those who failed were ceremonially accepted by other Indians and appropriately pitied by non-Indians.” Additionally, people who impose these ideals onto society split it up even further, dividing people who are accepting of others, and those who are not. This can apply to many subjects other than race, such as sexual identity, sexual preference, religion, and more. While it is understandable that some

Discrimination, while highly troubling and disruptive to social progress, has been in practice for centuries. From biblical eras, when at one point Jews were held as prisoners under the law of the Pharaoh, to more modern times concerning issues with race and other differences such as today’s fight for same-sex marriage approval, there have always been issues presented in society resulting from the many dissimilarities found amongst the appearances, behavior, beliefs, et cetera of the public. As history has shown time and time again, it is simply not acceptable for discrimination to have a role in the happenings of current times. Gone now are the days where minorities would sit back and accept the unfair treatment that society would press their way. The public is much more aware of the rights that are afforded to them from birth by the terms of the Declaration and Constitution. Rather than accept any injustices thrown its way, society has grown to rely on the government as a figurehead to step in and prevent any unfair treatment geared towards the People. It has become an expected happening that concerning any major issues on the grounds of discrimination, whether on a local, state, or federal level, the government is responsible for creating and enforcing policies that protect those affected from unfair treatment. Before implementing or changing a policy onto the public, officials are expected to weigh each idea thoroughly as to identify the consequences of its placement,

The Supreme Court of the United States ruled on a major case that will affect millions of Americans in one way or another. This ruling has been decades in the making and was certainly going to be controversial no matter how it turned out. The key issue is whether or not gays and lesbians had the same constitutional right that heterosexual people do in regards to marriage. Not too long ago the concept of this even being considered by the high court would’ve been unfathomable. The 5 to 4 court ruling favoring the plaintiffs has shocked many generations of religious and conservative people.

Discrimination has not fallen short in any way and continues to build barriers for many people of color. However, they no longer go gentle into that goodnight. Rallies and protests have emerged from incidents that dealt with racial profiling. The innocent are no longer afraid to pursue their first amendment and to remind others that we are all created equal. Nevertheless in a country where nearly 50% of Americans under 18 are minorities, the future looks quite hopeful for real change.

On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme court ruled gay marriage as a constitutional right in all 50 states. This was a tremendous achievement for the LGBT community, it was the beginning of acceptance. Even though the Supreme Court passed this ruling

Civil rights are the protection from discrimination by both the government and individuals, which are rooted both in laws and the Fourteenth Amendments’ equal protection clause. With protection for women, African Americans, native Americans, Asians, and Latinos the perception of equivalence has developed over time. Even with our efforts to live in a colorless culture, cognizance of race still impacts countless opinions and actions. Past the inadequate treatment of ethnic minorities, women, and the LBGT communities, inequalities on political, social, and economic conditions also continue. More whites are able to participate politically at a greater level, enjoy a superior standard of living, and avoid prejudice in the criminal justice system because of these

Some of the most common cases of discrimination are based off of religion, race, and ethnic background. This form of inequity has been shown throughout United States history since the mid- 1950’s. During this time period, the government made a law that states that it is legal for people of color to not have the

In June 12, 2016, Pulse nightclub was the scene of the deadliest mass shooting in the United States until it’s time. The night quickly turned to horror when Omar Mateen opened fire inside this gay nightclub. The shooting is debatably a hate crime against the LGBT community, while it is also considered by some to be an act of terrorism. Pulse
