Short Summary: Black History Month

The impact of colonization on First Nations peoples in Canada is unsurpassable, regarding every aspect of Aboriginal life and well-being. Throughout Canadian history, the government has been aiming to assimilate and annihilate Aboriginal people by way of racist policies, ethnocentric institutions, discriminatory laws and destructive capitalist behaviours. Because of this, Aboriginal people have suffered many losses, both physically and culturally. One of the main perpetrators of enacting this loss is the education system. The education system in Canada has and continues to threaten the relationship First Nations peoples have with the land. The connection First Nations peoples have with the land is crucial to their cultures, traditions, ceremonies and beliefs. Colonization and colonialism jeopardize this relationship and that is what this essay will address.

Over the past decades, Aboriginal people (the original people or indigenous occupants of a particular country), have been oppressed by the Canadian society and continue to live under racism resulting in gender/ class oppression. The history of Colonialism, and Capitalism has played a significant role in the construction and impact of how Aborignal people are treated and viewed presently in the Canadian society. The struggles, injustices, prejudice, and discrimination that have plagued Aboriginal peoples for more than three centuries are still grim realities today. The failures of Canada's racist policies toward Aboriginal peoples are reflected in the high levels of unemployment and poor education.

Black Americans should be acknowledged for not only their contributions to American society, but also for being a part of American society and upholding the traditions and values of this country. Black History Month should not be a celebration that comes and goes in our own minds and homes. Black History Month should not be a remembrance that is acknowledged only when the official day begins.

Canadian identity and history is grounded in the culture and the traditions of the Aboriginal peoples. Popularly known as being the first inhabitants of Canada, Aboriginals strive to enrich the country’s cultural mosaic through their existence and thus are an integral part of this nation. Although Aboriginals are deemed as an important part of the Canadian social fabric today, history (past and present) documents a contrasting image to this ideology where it is coloured by the economic, social, and physical hardships of Aboriginal societies in Canada. Scarred by the social and racial injustices of the past, Aboriginal education is a major continuing issue with regards to minority education in Canada. According to J. P. White and Dan Beavon (2009), “Aboriginal educational attainment lags significantly behind the Canadian population” (p. 3). Between 1981 and

The history of Canada is the era of where colonization all began towards aboriginal peoples. Over the past decades, aboriginal peoples have been mistreated and misused by the white-Europeans. They have been oppressed by Canadian society that we are known still by today and continue to live under racism resulting in gender and class oppression. The history of colonialism has been playing a big part in the way of how aboriginal people have been constructed and impacted on how aboriginal people are treated and viewed in Canadian Society.

African-American history are those events that started with the first slave ships from Africa to the Caribbean Islands and carry through their journey as a people both individually and collectively to today's societies across the Americas.

In Hanna Guthrie’s article, “Black History Month,” the UCI New University writer discusses the racism in America. In order for racism to be abolished, Guthrie accentuates racism is being spread through American Citizens self segregation. Though Hanna Guthrie article presents a clear claim and provides a small amount of factual evidence to support in itself, ultimately Guthrie article is unsuccessful because she fails to provide an adequate amount of logic-based information to support her primary claim, excessively dependent upon emotion-driven attacks on those who disagree with her, and frequently fails to present her augment in a approach that makes her creditable.

Our past is history and we look back at this and reflect on the mistakes we made, so they will not occur in the future again. What do we do to make current conflict’s history as well? Being African Canadian has never been easy. White Canadians have always been stereotypical about black people. The way that white people look at blacks has always changed, no matter how much money you have, your still a “Negro.” The terms used to describe these people, has changed here and there but majorly it has been the same and they are very hard to hear. Imagine being judged on the way you were born, which is not something that you can control. They were just left with a needle and thread, the rest they had to sew themselves. This report consists of settlement

One of the most contentious issues in Canada’s history is that of the Metis. Some people feel this unique group of people does not deserve any sort of recognition, whereas others believe their unique history and culture is something to be recognized and cherished. The history of the Metis people is filled with struggle; not only struggles against other powers, but also a struggle for self-identification. Despite strong opposition, the Metis people of Canada have matured as a political force and have taken great strides towards being recognized as a unique people.

Many Americans point to the suffering of the African American experience from the internal problems in African Americans communities; however, they neglect the external social constraints that African Americans have faces in America. African Americans have suffered oppression through social institution through factors such as Segregation, Racial Crimination, and Mass incarnation. The constraint of segregation was a way of social, political, and economical control over African Americans. African Americans are usually a racial group that is associate with crime. Research and statistics has shown that African Americans are those that are majority incarnated in the United states. Many white Americans kept

As human-beings we understand your frustrations as a black man. Your people have been oppressed in decades by white people, and your own father was killed by white supremacists. So we understand your thirst for revenge and your feeling of impotence. We see that you, Malcolm X, favoured violence in the struggle for black equality - and perhaps even supremacy - as he distrusted ideas about racial integration. Our settlement is not violence but a open discussion. This debate can be really complex in relation to the black and white history. Because of your position as a well-known human rights activist and Muslim minister your voice can change a lot in the race debate. Therefore, we recommend you to fight for black people's’ rights through a debate,

Today, Canada is known as a peace-loving, free country. However, what many do not know is that Canada isn’t as peace-loving or free that others may perceive it to be. There was a time in Canada when there were slaves, such as Black people. Because they were of different colour, many Blacks suffered from racial discrimination, abuse, and the life of just being Black. Fortunately, throughout the centuries, there were Black Canadians who stood up and fought for their chance to be reintegrated into society as a person, and not as a slave. Black Canadians such as Richard Pierpoint, who fought for his people and country, Sam Langford, who fought for his desire to do what he loved and Viola Desmond, who fought for her rights as a human being, proved that to bring change, people must be willing to fight for their beliefs and this in itself will bring change, even if they didn’t know that their actions would do so.

Black people will always fight for equality and still continue to fight for their freedom and rights till this day. Now a days it’s easier for them, but it’s a constant battle whether their rights and freedom have been given to them, black people will always have a history of being fighters and never giving up on equality. Back then being slaves was a lifestyle for African Americans and president Abraham Lincoln freed them from their hell that they were in and not many people liked what he did, but in my opinion, President Lincoln fought for a better life of the African Americans and he changed America in such a positive way for not only the slaves, but for their families in general. Abolitionists were also against slavery and always fought to free the slaves as well. Early abolitionist legislation included Congress prohibiting
