Black Americans Need To Make Progress
I disagree that Black Americans need to have a revolution to make progress. A revolution forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a new system. I disagree because after the overthrowing of the government comes the work of replacing it. The real progress would be a personal revolution from behaviors that caused the need for a for a revolution.

    Summary Of Black America's Invisible Crisis

    Invisible Yet Strong “Black America’s Invisible Crisis” is an Essence article written by Lois Beckett that talks about a woman named Aireana and her family who were diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In 2013, after riding along with her family in their car, someone on the outside started shooting at them. Aireana and her husband got shot, but her two kids were unharmed in the back seat.

    Comparing W. E. B. Du Bois And Booker T. Washington

    Washington’s plan offered a more immediate peace. The South was slow to change and Booker T. Washington catered to that. Instead of pushing for complete integration he suggested that ‘in all things that are purely social, we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress’ (Washington 22). W.E.B. Du Bois’s path was long and uncomfortable, at best. However, without agitation and resistance history shows that nothing would change for the better. I agree fully with Du Bois’s statement: so it is with all great movements. They must be preceded by agitation (Du Bois 32). Change does not occur by itself. True liberation cannot be granted to those who choose to remain…

    Why Do Free African-Americans Achieve Their Potential For Equality?

    Nevertheless, progress was being made elsewhere, with the ever-increasing population of free African-Americans forming their own communities. During a time of racial hostility and exclusion, the elites of the community decided on a plan of action to demonstrate blacks' potential for equality by counteracting the racial prejudice through moral elevation. As a result, a host of community institutions was built to foster concern with moral uplift, including several different kinds of churches, as well as insurance agencies, educational charities, mutual aid organizations, literary societies, etc. The free blacks of New York even staged public processions, demanding equality.…

    Malcolm X Vs Dubois Research Paper

    On the last post, I agreed more with DuBois that education was the answer because it offers people of color a voice with which to firmly oppose the injustices done against them, and education is the key to ultimately gaining success. I argued that Malcolm X’s idea was more radical because of the terminology he used (“liberty or death”, stop singing and start swinging) and because I was told to believe he was a violent, pro-Black advocate. However, after the discussions in class, I changed my mind and am now at the fence. Even after reaching the end of DuBois, I am not leaning to one side in particular on deciding whose idea is more effective for racial progress in America. I think both DuBois and Malcolm X suggest some effective solutions to racial progress because education is needed to start economic stability and to understand the politics of one’s community. I think DuBois is right…

    How Is African Americans Still Relevant Today

    In Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, he stressed that now is the time to give African Americans true freedom, equality, and opportunity. This is still very relevant to African Americans today, even though it shouldn’t be. I say it shouldn’t be because now, for Mr. King was 52 years and five months ago. These problems have been going on for more than half a century after he professed his dream, and there has been little change since then. There is still discrimination towards blacks and other colored races. Racial injustice against Black Americans is America’s top priority or at least it should be. Plus, there are still forms of segregation in this country.…

    Equal Rights For African Americans In The 1900's

    Booker T. Washington once said to wait and work your way to the top. This being said, every single day an African American does their job correctly and end up achieving less than a regular white person. In the 1900’s a man would die for seeing comedy, a child would die because of malnourishment, and a woman would be violated and abused by a man. These average African Americans were tired of waiting. W. E.B De Bois knew what these people wanted, they wanted results, they wanted to see a change in their society. The problem was, that there was…

    racist police

    -The world seems to be under the impression that African rights are done, but realistically all the struggle is a sheet of paper saying that they're equals. Although we fool our-selves into accepting the concept of equality, it serves to convince the vast majority to believe were making progress. For instance our domestic pillars of authority (police officers) are sometimes prone to stereotypical social rumors that may influence racism or natural racists that in turn may cause nationwide problems when apprehending an African American due to racial profiling regarding excessive or unnecessary force.…

    Throughout U.S. history African Americans have gone through and still face hardship. They were slaves early on and through laws they were able to be free and become citizens. Even after these events there were still obstacles that would have to be overcome. Leaders and icons in African American civil rights movements like Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. and etc. would spark and inspire other blacks to step up and try to make a difference. Some would try to make a difference but some with different methods.…
