Similarities Between African American And Latinos

African-American people have been treated unequally compared to people of European descent. For example, african-americans could not use certain public things like water fountains; when it comes to restaurants, black people had to go to the back to eat. Another thing, black people had to attend different schools than white people furthermore, the schooling was not as good as the others. The way african-americans were treated was not justified in any way at all. To explain, the african-americans probably felt horrible about the mistreatments they experienced. When they had to go to the backs of restaurants it was very inconvenient and they were basically being shamed and ridiculed all day no matter where they went. Some of them weren’t even

The United States is a immigrant country, which faces varieties of problems. The African American problem is one of the most serious one. Racial segregation is a deep-rooted social problem, which reflects in every field in the United States. For example, education, labor market and criminal justice system. In the aspect of education, most of black children were not permitted to enter the school, because the white children studied there. In the aspect of labor market, the black people 's average wages were lower than the whites. They did the manual work. In the aspect of criminal justice system, the blacks were easily in jail. Badly, their sentences were also more serious than the whites. In general, the blacks live in the bottom of the American society. Martin Luther King delivered the famous speech I Have a Dream, ' ' I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. ' ' (1) However, it was difficult for African American to get the freedom. The 1776 Declaration of Independence announced that everyone are equal and freedom.But black slavery still occurred in the southern states of America. Then the Civil War broke out, African American kept struggling for land and political rights.

Ever since white Americans colonisation in the United States, African Americans suffered long from the frustration of being discriminated and deprived. African Americans were restricted from associating or mixing

In America, the lives of Africans did not get any easier. Once the demand for labor began increasing dramatically, more and more Africans were imported to America. Originally, white people and black people worked together in the plantations. As a result of the increase in Africans in these British colonies, less white people took jobs on plantations. Eventually, enslavement became based on race. Numerous slave codes were developed, which included denying slaves the right to be out past sunset and denying slaves the right to meet in groups of three or more. These Africans forced to live enslaved in America were treated as if they were inferior to white people. It is discouraging to think about the fact that this country, though it was long ago, once accepted this kind of social injustice.

The African-American people have suffered great hardships since slavery. During the 15 and 19th century many Africans were taken and forced into slavery. Some slaves

The life of African Americans in the 1800 was so harsh and unfair. Their owners would treat them cruelly and made them work long hours. They were not fed and had no sanitation which led to malnutrition and disease. Many young girls also went through sexual abuse and owners wouldn’t even get prosecuted because they were the ones who ruled everything. They separated many families from husbands, wife’s, and children. Those who were not prepared suffered every day because they were not with their families. Many of them never saw their family again.

The following discussion and statements are done so such that they incorporate the ideas and struggles of the Latino races regarding certain subjects down upon chapter 3 “Latinos in the united states” and chapter 4 “borders, immigration and citizenship”. This discussion is about the oppression that people Latinos and Native Americans and other ethnic groups have gone through. Some points in the discussion are oppression towards Mexican American and Native Americans, how they were treated and the impact they had.

Latino immigrants have been coming to America for a very long time. Most of the time it is for economic prosperity that they were not able to obtain in their home country. The Latino minority group has been getting a stronger presence in the United States as the years go by, but very few people know or understand how Latinos tend to identify themselves.

African American history has influenced many changes in todays society. The united States has a racially diverse population that continuously evolves. From World war II until the 60’s, African American migrants were concentrated in urban areas and more than 6 million blacks left the South escaping segregation and Jim Crow laws. Today the United states includes a thriving black middle class which is an exceptionally accomplishment compared to the 60’s. I believe that racial policies have emerged in the twenty-first century but there is still improvement to be made for later success.

For many decades now African-Americans and Latinos have had a major role in American politics. For the most part on a national level in terms of U.S. politics it can be said that African-Americans and Latinos have been able to cooperate with one another, and have essentially had very little if any conflict with each other at all. This sense of cooperation with African-Americans and Latinos at the national level of U.S. politics can be said to be due to how African-Americans and Latinos have similar interests in terms of national U.S. policies and programs, the same it seems though cannot be said to occur at the local level in terms of there being the same type of cooperation between African-Americans and Latinos at the local level of U.S.

The study of Latinos in politics has become a very critical to the advancement of the community. This has become the case since statistically, there has been a tremendous wave of growth since the 1940s; today there are 60 million Latinos in the U.S. and this number is projected to rise to about 150 million by the year 2050, meaning 30%, or 1 in every 3 people, in the US will be of Latino origin. Taking into consideration these numbers “minority politics” would no longer seem an appropriate term. This is why Latino political interaction has become very important, however, in order to begin to understand this realm, one has to take into consideration the various forms of exclusion Latinos have faced based on the fact they they have identified

According to Bell (2012), “while African- Americans and Hispanics hold broadly favorable views of each other, Hispanics are less likely to say the two groups get along well.” At the same time, African Americans are far more likely than Hispanics to say African Americans are frequently the victims of racial discrimination. The similarities that unite African Americans and Hispanics are a racially, ethnically, and culturally different mix of people whom all deal with the same issues our country faces. Bell (2012) writes, “both groups have their personalities regardless of how well their personalities are or aren't accepted by society, and we struggle for our socio-cultural values and styles to be appreciated and recognized.” Similarities include

Several similarities existed between African Americans and Native American during the late 19th century. Both faced discrimination even though it came in different form in that African American struggled to maintain basic constitutional rights while Native Americans were challenged with war from the American army and the risk destroying their culture.

All RES on African Americans is damaging, each individual is affected differently and to place emphasize on one effect or another seems invalidating. People continue to feel hopeless and powerless and feel that prejudice, discrimination and inequity are things they must accept. One, black or white, is taught to not speak up about prejudice, discrimination and inequity which then leads to resentment, shame and self blame. And it is this never ending cycle then leads to isolation, self-destructive behaviors, suicide to name a few.

Good Job Ericas. Also in the article, the similarities between the Latino and African American groups are addressed. Therefore allowing individuals who are unaware of the importance of structural advantages and economic opportunities when it relates community violence. These characteristics are directly related to the delinquency of the youth in these communities. More research into racial composition and violence will reveal that race and ethnicity play a minimal role when compared to the environment, along with mental, social, economic disadvantages. Those factors translate into a group of people that begin to distrust the government entities established to protect and serve their communities, that they have seemed to purposely neglected.
