Segregation on America

America has been dealing with segregation from its birth. Many of us wonder today if America should be resegregated. “To segregate is to: to require often with force, the separation of (a specific racial, religious, or other group) from the general body of society.” (Dictionary.com). In order to understand our selves, we must first understand Segregation in America. The constantly changing fashionable take on Segregation in America demonstrates the depth of the subject. In this research paper I am going to take a look at the past, present, future of segregation, and its effects on society today. By looking at America’s past life of segregation, we may open wounds for many that have been covered with salt and that also may bring out heated emotions. In this paper we are looking at whites and blacks. In the past these two races were separated in every aspect of life that we can think of. The common name for a black (African American) in these days was nigger or negro. I have heard a few elderly African Americans say that they would call the white (Caucasian) people Crackers. Race has continued to be a heated factor in America up until today. Though Segregation in America is a favorite topic of discussion amongst monarchs, presidents and dictators, it is impossible to overestimate its impact on modern thought. It is estimated that that Segregation in America is thought about eight times every day by those most reliant on technology, many of whom blame the influence of television. Taking a look at the job aspect for the blacks in the past, they were limited. Many of the jobs that were available where drivers (which consisted of driving the boss (which was a white man) around where ever they needed to go), share cropping, and warehouse work. If someone was to ask which cost had the worst segregation period, it would be the south. When it came to the women’s role in the job category they were maids, mammies, or simply stay at home wives who stayed home and took care
