Racial Equality

In certainty, the model of racial equality has not always been performed, nor has it been fully accomplished in the world. This is because the acceptance in racial equality has been said to “counter” deeply rooted beliefs in racial inequality and political, legal, and customary practices of racial discrimination and oppression. Therefore, racial equality is stated in antiracist philosophy and in antiracist political mobilization.

Ever since the founding of the United States of America, blacks have continuously been considered inferior to the white race. In the year of 1954, a substantial advancement in the fight for equality for blacks was prevalent. Countless prominent leaders of the United States realized the injustices that the blacks were forced to endure daily. Stated blatantly in the Declaration of Independence, it is said that all men are created equally. Disregarding the opinions of the men in the South, people began to realize that it was time to truly consider every man who is a citizen of the United States as equals. A life where segregation was not prevalent in schools, restaurants, theatres, parks, buses, and all public

The blacks were harassed if they didn't use different movie theaters, sit in the back in the back of the buses, blacks had to have a separate one of everything. Blacks even had to have different trains, so they couldn't ride with the white people. In the same way, blacks felt like they were being violated of their rights because they were forced to use a different one of everything. It's not until the case of Brown V Board Of Education in the 1950's and 1960's is what ended segregation. The constitution was rewritten by many states to conform the 14th Amendment. In addition, blacks immediately felt like regular people. (Plessy vs.

It all started with slavery in the United States, which was especially popular in the early 1790s with enslaved African Americans working the new cotton gins. After the Civil War ending and slavery was illegal by the reconstruction amendments, whites did not interact with African Americans. Many states passed laws that enforced segregation. The whites could not interact in public places bylaw. These laws of segregation were called Jim Crow laws. It took until the 1890s before they were confronted in court. When the United States Supreme Court ruled that segregation was illegal 50 years later, it took many court cases to show that it violated the Declaration of Independence.

From the 1880’s to the mid 1960’s in North Carolina and other southern states, there was a law called Jim Crow Laws. The name Jim Crow comes from a character from a theatre production where the performer was white, but would have black face makeup on to mock the blacks. These laws were being enforced in North Carolina and many other towns and states. Jim Crow Laws forced racial inequalities towards black people. A black and a white person were forbidden to marry each other. White people were educated at a white school and black people went to a black school. If a black man went to the hospital he would have a black nurse, while a white person would have a white nurse. When boarding the bus a white person may sit anywhere in the front, while a black person was ordered to sit in the very back. Blacks were to drink at separate drinking fountains than the white people used. Black

A long time ago, but not too long to make people start forgetting, segregation has taken place in the Unites States. It has been continued over many centuries, but still no black man and woman had the right to live peacefully. A majority of the black people were slaves, and it was common for white men to segregate them whenever they go and whatever they do. These times were the hardest time

From 1877 to the mid 1960s Jim Crow laws were in place. African Americans were viewed as second class citizens, not equal. Many people, usually ministers, thought whites were “The Chosen People”, that anyone of color was cursed and destined to be a servant. African Americans were almost viewed as animals, and not humans, they were definitely treated that way. After years of fighting and trying to be equal with the white race, African Americans were granted their wish of having rights, and the horrible treatment ended, or so they thought. That’s where the Jim Crow laws began.

With the end of Reconstruction in 1877 white supremacy was still extremely common. White individuals saw themselves as superior to African Americans and people of the lower class. The White politicians had stopped caring about protecting the rights of African Americans. They passed laws which are known as the Jim Crow Laws. The Jim Crow laws separated whites and African Americans in schools, trains, and even water fountains. The Jim Crow Laws allowed white supremacist to discriminate African Americans by just saying that they were separated but still being treated equally. This was not true, the conditions in which the African Americans were being placed in were not at the same quality as the whites. Since the amendments that gave African Americans rights were still enacted White Supremacists often tried to prevent African Americans from exercising their rights. Whites were also more credible than

In the late 1870’s the Jim Crow law was established, this law stated that African Americans and Whites were “separate but equal.” With this being put in place African Americans and Whites did not go to the same schools or eat at the same restaurants and everything was separated. The South wanted to keep control over the blacks. Although this law only lasted until the early 1960’s it caused a lot of fights and protests from African Americans.

“Jim Crow Laws” were enforced, basically relegating people of color to a lower status than everyone else.

For as long as humanity has existed, equality has been an evident, non-disappearing struggle for individuals all around the world. This is relevant in terms of gender, nationality, and race, especially including the differences in skin color. The Jim Crow Era, which occurred during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, can be depicted as one of the worst time periods in terms of equality. After the American Civil War, most of the American southern states have passed several laws that denied the rights of African American citizens, which have been the target of discrimination for reasons none other than things that they can not control in their lives, such as their race, skin color, wealth, and origin. When people speak of Jim Crow, they

Historically in the United States, there has always been a significant difference in the way different races have been treated. Even after many years of laws and bills being passed to create a smaller gap in the inequality of the different races, we still see a large problem with inequality today. One of those inequalities is the difference between white and African American’s, in history whites have always been at the top, and blacks at the bottom, civil rights movements lead by black leaders in the 1950s and 1960s changed the way blacks were treated, but although there was some change our society still recognizes blacks as the inferior race. Looking at inequality today, blacks are still being treated differently in jobs, the criminal justice

Segregation between black and whites being around since the beginning of slavery era but segregation didn’t get legal until 1896 when the supreme court sanction legal separation between black and whites in the ruling H.A. Plessy v. J.H. Ferguson. The ruling stated that separation of black and whites was legal as long equal facilities did not violate the fourteenth amendment. The united states did indeed abolish slavery but did they not intend to make blacks first class citizen as white because after the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendment was passed, the supreme court had pass three series of judgment making African Americans second class citizens. Blacks were forces via private action to separate themselves from white in areas of transportation, public accommodation, prison, school, recreational places and even armed forces. The supreme court did not make segregation illegal until 1954 during the case of Brown vs. Board of Education.

In the late 1860’s the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendment were passed, in order to bring equality to blacks. Even though newly freed men were legally granted the same rights as fellow white citizens they were not given social equality. Politically, by the 13th 14th and 15th amendment blacks were given equal representation and rights as citizens to due process and voting, however, through such things as the introduction of the Ku Klux Klan they were scared away from voting or seeking jobs. Economically, African Americans were legally given the same opportunity to own their own business and farms and no longer considered property, but because of whites greater knowledge of business and racism towards black farmers and merchants, blacks

Today many people believe that we have obtained racial equality. However there are multiple reasons and statistics that contradict those arguments . For decades African Americans has been deprived of basic rights, “If America had racial equality in education and jobs, African Americans would have two million more high school degrees…(Raines)”. There are many drastic racial gaps from education to owning property. Throughout America’s history blacks have been limited, when it comes to education, property, and other things. If people truly believe that after four hundred years of enslavement and limited rights, can be fixed within one generation they are wrong. The African American community has faced
