Role Of Racial Injustice In African American Society
Recent acts of racial injustice have led to a lot of outrage in the African American community. The community has let out its cries, no longer sitting down and taking what society has thrown at them and using it to their advantage by taking action. Since their arrival to the
United States, African Americans have been treated unlawfully, being forced into slavery, and having to fight for their freedom until emancipation which came in the late 1800's, which lead to the conclusion that African Americans should be treated equally. While attempting to fight for equal rights such as, the right to vote, they had to deal with the various obstacles that society had created in order to stop them. One of these obstacles throughout time and still do this …show more content…
As the fight continues, more events have bound the African American community together. The death of African American,
Freddie Gray, while under police custody provoked the destruction of the city of Baltimore, in what became known as the Baltimore riots. Numerous people joined together, some for good, others not so much, in order to get their point of unity across. With the African American community’s set goals and ambition, they continue to fight for a change in society. They wish to not be viewed differently from anyone else or hated, "Why must we hate one another? Hating everybody else cause they don't look like you" (Bryan, Dylan, Rucker, and Sonefeld, 1994).
The built up animosity has been horrible for police officers everywhere. Police officers around the country have felt the effect of racial conflict, whether they were part of the cause or not.

Since the beginnings of America, slavery has been pivotal to the advancement of society and it was all from European people believing that Africans were inferior and therefore best served as slave labor. This racism carried on for centuries until the Emancipation Proclamation in the mid
1800’s and then it once again became prevalent until the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1963.
It was in this moment that the racial barrier in our country began deteriorating, however events in the 1990’s built it back up again and once again in the present time. Although the violence that come from this racial tension has decreased significantly the fact that the same war is being fought for equal treatment is ludicrous. "Trouble with the world is we're too busy to think about"
(Bryan, Dylan, Rucker, and Sonefeld, 1994) and after being "ignored to long" (Noble, 2015)
African Americans took it upon themselves to seek justice, and exert their reasons for being
proud
