The Black Lives Matter Movement

Every webpage is informative, whether its statistics, their presence in the news, or the several ways on how you can be involved. But it does not really stand out or differ from other charitable organizations. The website also doesn’t provide statements from families whom they’ve helped. Donors want to see that they’ve made a difference in someone’s life. A “thank you” video clip or photo of an assisted family or school group would probably have satisfied this issue and made this organization more desirable to participate in. It provides enough evidence for credibility from their existence in the news and links to their financial statements. It seems like a legit charitable organization with a good purpose but they also provide similar ethos as displayed in other websites, which in effect doesn’t necessarily derive an appeal to join this particular organization.

Racism is still a very controversial topic in today’s society but still not as bad as seen in the time period

     Two hundred and twenty-five years ago, Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. The words he wrote were, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness (Jefferson 685). “…created equal…,” those are very powerful words. Equality, meaning being the same, on the same level, no one higher or lower than the other, but can we honestly say that racism is no longer prevalent in our country? Of course not, the recent incidents, such as Rodney King, James Byrd, Abner Louima, and Amadou Diallo, proves that. In an article entitled, “Racism Down But Not Out in the US Government Study Finds”, published on September 22, 2000, Assistant Secretary of State, Harold Koh reported to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, “America’s struggle to secure racial equality remains incomplete. The residual effects of slavery and institutionalized racism can still be seen in the lingering disparity between blacks and whites in income, levels of education, and health care and rates of incarceration in our nation’s prisons”. Koh too, mentioned the recent incidents that have happened saying that, “we have not yet met the challenge of creating a color-blind society” (Husain 1).

Racism has been an ongoing problem for decades, but now it has evolved into more complications rather than black people versus white people and wanting equality.

Racism has been a huge social issue for as long as I can remember. Not only does racism exists between whites and African Americans it exists between all different races all over the world. Although racism has changed a lot it still exists in many places all over the world. You would think that after so many years that people would learn that everyone is equal but some races still seem to think that they are superior to other races.

Racism has been a part of our country since the early ages. Historically, racism and equality have been central issues that have divided our country. Many actions from the past such as the decision in the Plessy versus Ferguson case, and present day actions like The Mississippi school system case have been the ongoing battle in today 's society. The struggle to achieve equality was made even more difficult by the legislation that is now considered racist in the Plessy versus Ferguson case.

Don’t think it stops there, fast forward about 100 years later to the Civil Rights Movement. Southern states created the Jim Crow laws prohibiting blacks from using the same bathrooms, schools, busses and even theatres as white people. They were by no means equal. This led to many protests, such as the march on Washington on August 28th 1963, where Martin Luther King Jr. made his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. Soon after, President John F. Kennedy passed The Civil Rights Act of 1964, banning segregation and racial discrimination in the work place and in education. Following this, came the Voting Rights Act of 1965, allowing black men and women the right to vote. Clearly, throughout history, Americans have struggled with racism, and it’s not over (“Civil Rights Movement,” 2017).

Racism in this country has been prevalent over centuries now, and still a huge hindrance in the United States of America. Racism has a huge history with scholars documenting the long illustrious reasons and root causes as to why this has become such a major topic of issue in the United States and its psychological and social obliterations in the society.

Racism is an age-old issue that was named during the Civil War, fought during the 1960s, and is still lingering in modern society.

Racism remains one of the biggest problems in current times, but even back in the early 20th century, around the time World War

Racism still happens today it still exists in school, workforce, and social lives. Many races beside african americas aren 't treated as equals. "Historical research has shown

To ask if racism still exists in society today the answer is yes, it happens all around us. We must start within ourselves to change our habits of how we treat this disease so that we can begin to rid it from society. Racism comes in many forms and more often than not it is projected outwards as a form of violence onto others. Safety is a large concern when it comes to racism, walking down the street can become very difficult depending on your social status, the color of your skin; your heredity or your sexual preference. One such event happened in the city of Thunder Bay. A young man was the result of a hate crime because of his sexual preference. The attack left him with 15 fractures to his cheekbone, a broken eye socket, a broken jaw and a broken upper palate. It is these kinds of crimes that people need to be made aware of and they must be stopped. It is truly unfair to fear for your safety while walking down the streets of your home town. It has been occurring since the beginning of time and, “On June thirtieth two thousand and eight the Ontario Human Rights Commission changed its role and they will no longer accept complaints of

Racism has been existent since the birth of our country and although we have taken steps toward fixing the problem, it is still very prevalent today. Over the past decade there have many violent attacks against minority groups in the United States. The majority of people believe these are conducted by the extremists which may be true, but since Donald Trump began his campaign for candidacy for POTUS more and more white supremacists have surfaced. In return, this has created a bigger divide in our nation regarding racial equality. The racism
