Black People in Usa Essay

I have chosen this course because in my opinion Afro-American Peoples history is very interesting. It reveals both how criminal human beings can be and how a discriminated population can all the same produce wonderful things.I. The discrimination that Black People have suffered and handle suffering in the USA.1/ In the PastA.The Slavery.I dont cogitate unmatchable can discuss the suffering of this population without lecture about Slavery. This abomination has lasted several centuries and has consisted of kidnapping innocent African and bringing them in a far country. They were deprived of their names, languages, religion, cultures As a result one may say that they werent considered as human beings. They have had to do a hard work in the cotton fields, and their living conditions got closer to animals elbow room of life. Actually, there were even some men who were called and used as reproductive. For the women, rapes werent punished.B.The SegregationAfter the Slavery was abolis hed, Black People even if they were free, have set about an other terrible discrimination the Segregation. It took locating in the Southern States, where the Black community was very important. Perhaps, it came from a fear of sporty people. It was written in the natural law and as a consequence for instance Black people havent the right to sit or eat in the same places than White people. In the Northern States, even if it wasnt written in the law there was a tacit rule.2/ NowadaysA.Not really equal in front of LawActually, it is said that a Black men has seven to a greater extent chance to condemn todeath penalty than a White men. So even today they are prejudiced. Moreover, the media reveals regularly some police atrocities against Black people. So even today, the law is double faced and its better to be White if one has any problem with the justice.B.Not the same EducationBlack pupils are concerned by the discrimination too. They are often sent to train in very poor areas. Thu s, they dont benefit from the same educations level than the White pupils. Their chance to access to a near university is seriously reduced. There, its again a piece of evidence of discrimination.Until today, there is no significant action from the USA government to solve this problem, this unfair phenomenon.II. whatever good things emerged from a catastrophic history1/ A cultureA. MusicToday, nobody can deny the influence of Black community on the music. Several famous kinds of music as Rap, Jazz, RnB for instance are the direct product of this community. It all begins with the work songs by the Slave, the lightlessness Spiritual and the Gospel by the victims of segregation.Their music is spread all over the world and paradoxically without the terrible history which is behind I dont think they would have done such wonderful music. It entails a artistic creativity in this community.B.FashionAfro-American people also contributed to the fashion. In fact, in Harlem specially in the nineties, the peoples vestments have been taken as model by some garment firms.Nowadays, one can notice that the Rappers or RnB singers route of being dressed is imitated all over the world. A huge part of them are developingtheir own clothes lines2/ Last but not least the IndividualsA. Rosa ParksIn the sixties this courageous woman contrasted against the Segregation. In a bus, she has refused to leave her place to a White man. This act which can be perceived as common today is the origin of a huge movements success.She has showed the way to several Black-American and emphasized an injustice.B.Martin Luther King Jr.He was a Reverend who has leaded the Civil Rights Movement in the sixties and died, murdered, in 1968. He started to have a great success after the bus story. He has supported Mrs. Rosa Parks. He also has fought against the discrimination without any violence. He has defended the equality between Black and White People and inspired people who were discriminated against all over the world. His most famous speech named I have a dream is known by everyone within it he advocated the brotherhood. Even after his death, some people remained animated by his struggle.As a conclusion, I think that the terrible history of the USA entails some very good things but the price for benefiting from them has been very important. The question is how and when the USAs authorities will take that they have to do something. We know that the Affirmative Action measure hasnt really been efficient so which measures can be enforced to help Black-American people. In my opinion, compelling firms to hire Black people is not a good idea and the better is to educate younger generations by teaching them to be more tolerant.
