Research Paper On African American Discrimination
Discrimination, is a big part of the world whether we like it or not. Nearly 7 out of 10 people are discriminated against every day, and it is a 15% chance that the individual is African-American. Freedom of discrimination would cause society to be more open and accepting to everyone. Discrimination is degrading and very disrespectful to anyone it is done to. For example, a 3rd of African-Americans are discriminated against every day and about a 25% of Hispanic/Latino Americans are discriminated against every day also a quote from Eddie Bernice Johnson states that “they are still traces of discrimination against race, gender, and religion etc. but, it is a lot different than when I started out. It just comes quietly and slowly, sometimes
so quietly that you do not realize it till you start looking back.” This states that, discrimination is so common that people will not know they have been discriminated until they really analyze and comprehend. Some people may say that discrimination is not a pressing matter that we should worry about pollution, war or even the economy they say America should not worry about the people’s feelings’, or the religions they knock down, or even the people they treat less off because of sexuality and gender, but don’t forget suicide is the second lead causing of death between the ages of 10-24 and more teenagers die from suicide than cancer, aids, pneumonia, heart attack, stroke, and influenza COMBINED. Studies show that 20% of every 100,000,000 people are discriminated against each year. Every year 100,000 individuals commit suicide 1,362.5 being African-American and 895.5 being White due to racism and discrimination. Discrimination is more than just judging one person, it can affect a whole group or even a community. Ultimately, if freedom of discrimination was to exist and be enforced society would change dramatically and even suicide rates would decrease. Racism and discrimination does not come naturally, it is brought upon, and like Dr. Wayne Dyer said “the ultimate ignorance is the rejection of something you know nothing about.” this quote basically is saying that do not be quick to judge and hate. We live in a world where anything is possible, hopefully being free of discrimination would be one of them.
