Emancipation Proclamation Did NOT End Slavery

Well first, the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery. The Emancipation Proclamation declared that all slaves that were in the territory that was in rebellion against the government were free. And, of course, they didn’t free their slaves. But it did not apply to any of the Union’s territory. Slavery was officially abolished on December 18, 1865 when the 13th Amendment was added to the Constitution. As for the discrimination, I do still think it exists today. But the thing is, it is bad when black people do it but it isn’t for any other race. Let’s take Kylie Jenner for example. She likes to wear goddess braids which is a thing of our culture. She has big lips which is also a thing of our culture. Also, things like bantu knots, and
dreads can be found as unprofessional and weird on woman of color, but can be found as high fashion and editorial on white woman. Also women of color get paid 63% less than white men. Also the stereotypes for the people of color can be really hurtful. People sometimes think of the men as jailbirds and thugs that wear their pants to their knees and their hats turned backwards. The women are portrayed as loud, disrespectful females with bright colored hair and always rolling their necks and sucking their teeth. Today the stereotypes can be used as a joke, especially within the black community. But that doesn’t mean that people aren’t still offended. Also some people aren’t hired because of their background or where they came from. Raven Symone even said that she wouldn’t hire someone with a name similar to “Watermelondrea”. So yes, discrimination does exist today and sometimes we don’t even noice
