Your conclusion was pretty good but as I mention in the peer review, I would suggest making it a bit longer by adding a few more sentences. The sentences could potentially focus on reasons why you think this topic hasn't been discussed as much as other topics or maybe what you hope to bring to this discussion. You could even expand on the so what aspect and its potential effect on the African-American community. There was not any phrases or words that stuck out as repetitive to me.
I brought up the issue of misleading statistics because the black crime rates (ninety percent African American) were used to say to the public, “see, they are more aggressive, than whites” (it became a socially engineered self-fulfilling prophecy in the minds of racists), therefore, inhumane practices could continue. What the
The struggle for education for the african americans was like a crime. Not only weren't african americans allowed to go to school with the whites but they didn't have many school utilities like the whites did. The whites had many textbooks that were up to date and they had clean rooms and enough seats while schools for the african american were like prisons. They didn't have enough seats or books and sometimes they only had enough teachers to teach since white folk didn't want anything to do with african americans. Before the end of the civil war the education was a real struggle for the african americans. Even though there was effort to make schools for the african americans only a few could go to school since there was no money and they simply
In many years, the African American community has suffer brutally from institutional racism. As Blacks were forced into becoming chattel property for Whites, they were also dehumanized from their identity. The oppressors disrupted the house family structure as they separated them apart from each other causing a repeated cycle from always missing a parent figure within their lives. Torture was also included in oppressing blacks as they planted fear into the mindset of African Americans that they cannot even love their own skin color. Lack of opportunities such as educationally, economically, and politically have been the main factors that our community lacks "success". Philanthropy is a way for our Black Leaders to give back to communities
Thesis: Even with the creation of Black Studies as an academic discipline, the culture and influence of white dependency still seem to block people of color’s mental potential, and inherently their ability to progress as a group.
In conclusion, African Americans have been treated less than a human, and it is not fair. African American has been beaten on, pushed around, murdered, and now thrown behind bars. There are so many sophisticated young black people , but society does not give them the opportunity to prove themselves. The only way African Americans can make it in society is to walk around in a suit and tie, and have money. People wonder why African Americans make up most of the jail system, and the reasons that were discussed was racial profiling, unfair sentencing, unemployment, drug usage, communities being targeted, and white privilege. These things have caused many black men , children , and woman to sit behind bars for the majority of their lives. America has never been fair towards the African American community because it was built for Caucasian people to live in, and black people are just tolerated and locked away.
This is a topic that really peaked my interest, and this artifact was chosen based off of what I believe to be a demonstration of passion. Law and justice is a passion of mine, and I felt like I was able to analyze the cause and effect of African American communities due to a biased justice system in my discussion. African Americans faced longer imprisonment, unlawful conduct such as excessive use of force, excessive searching under unfair circumstances, false prosecution, and false imprisonment. No evidence was necessary, and it was the word of the white man over the black man. That, in my personal reflection, is appalling and inhumane. The significance of such actions is demonstrated by police brutality today, and how, it still continues
In the current macro state of the united states what stands out as a conflict in society to me is the hatred people have for the Black lives matter movement and the action that Colin Kaepernick started by taking a knee during the National Anthem that many players are doing more so know. Due to the unjustly killing caused by the criminal justice system, this social structure has a high percentage of the African American community feel like they’re afraid for their lives. This makes me think people that don’t understand or even hate the black lives matter movement don’t understand the impact sociological imagination has in what’s going on. The group in power and their followers lack the ability to have empathy for what the oppressed African American
In society, there is much stereotyping and stigma surrounding the issue of mental health. Stereotyping happens because humans take common characteristics and behaviours, and link them to groups in society known as social groups; because of the amount of stereotyping that exists in today’s society there is a great deal of stigma surrounding mental illness and the mentally ill. A common misconception about individuals suffering with mental illness is that they are all unintelligible and are a danger to other members of society, this opinion has been largely criticised by mental health professionals as it is viewed as narrow minded and potentially very misleading. Stereotyping mentally ill individuals causes them to lose a sense of identity as
Are Blacks treated decently in the criminal equity framework? I plan to answer these inquiries and figure out whether African Americans are the race that is truly carrying out the most wrongdoing than whites, and if prejudice is decaying the justice system from the inside to what the world sees on the outside. From false accusations, wrongful killings and the assumption that all black or people of color are degenerates and how the justice system use us to gain money and power over us.
This House believes that as time goes on, old oppressions and inequalities will recede and African Americans will share equally in the fruits of American society with their fellow white citizens. I will be arguing for the government. Through federal government legislation examples and political/social events, the government will prove there has been progress in African Americans fully experiencing equality in American Society.
Throughout history, blacks have been treated the poorest out of all races. Although everyone under God is to be treated equal, whites thought of themselves as being the superior race. In 1619 a Dutch ship brought 20 slaves to America and it took nearly 240 years for slavery to end in 1865(Ronald, , para. 3).These helpless slaves were taken to America and put to work growing anything from cotton to tobacco. Slaves had absolutely no rights. They were simply property of their “Massa’.” Being disrespectful to a white man could get a Negro killed and they just accepted the facts of the matter. The south was the most notorious in its treatment of slaves and slaves would run away. It was a big risk, but a slave that made it to a
The mission of the students around the country who fought for an education that would shed light on African Americans. The progress the students created is seen today in American Universities ,and also HBCUs, where (AAS)African American Studies is implemented into the curriculum. Before, the dissection the formation of AAS, it should be noted that without the sacrifice from others I undoubtedly would not be writing about AAS ,or reflecting on the significance it has created for generations so far.
Scholars have dedicated their time and attention to furthering the discipline of African American Studies and can define the field with many different definitions. Through looking at the origins and development in the study we can see how it became a legitimate academic field. As we study the writings of the African American intellect, it will fully explain the importance of the discipline. Their work will justify the study of cultural and historical experiences of Africans living in Africa or the African Diaspora. When examining the scholar’s arguments we can develop our own intellectually informed rationalization of the field of African American Studies.
African Americans have been through so much since being uprooted from their home in Africa. Most people do not understand what happened to African Americans and they understand what they had to go through to be where they are today. It went from being kings in the comfort of their home to being thrown on a boat packed like sardines to be forced to work in the fields. The trip was a massacre itself because many did not make it due to the treatment from others. African Americans have always been treated like outsiders and it took many people to sway the perception of others to be where they are today. Through all the ups and downs African Americans persevered and made it out the struggle. African Americans has always been treated badly all groups of people and they always looked down on African Americans. Throughout the history involving African American, it showed the constant inferiority treatment. African Americans were slaves years ago, people still look at blacks as less important than other people. Slavery has a huge impact on our society today because people are still bias and unfair towards African Americans, most African Americans are still living in poverty and don’t have proper education beyond high school which is why they don’t have the equal opportunity for jobs. African Americans still continue to sit in the shadow behind white people.
