The Hidden Cost of Being African American

Takeyah Wright
A place where everything being and how are ancestors came to be many important concepts that we deal with are contingent, such as Pan-Africanism and black power The Pan-Africanism means all African American sometime since the black power , or the black consciousness. The connected to Pan-Africanism, But Africans spread all over the world and still tied to their homeland, not always physically but most culturally and emotionally not to mentioning those who live in the continent physically but do not belong to their culturally or emotionally place. I believe that most Africa Americans had more opportunity like they could get jobs in this time but back in the day it was hard for them in the 1920s. And now I see that most of Africa Americans can get better education they can also vote, The African Americans today can do more than they could back in the day it was hard for they to do things like get a better education. Race and Ethnicity are some ways the same. Classifying everyone by race, not region, or culture, The AAPA American association of physical Anthropology statement on biological Aspects of race in the 1994 describes that popular concept of race as being derived from 19th and the early 20th century. The most popular American folklore of the three great racial groups has its roots in the system that developed in Europe and North America in the 18th century. Ethnicity is of a different race in a socially constructed category that draws on a observant. Ethnicity is a population of human being whose members identify with each other, on the basis of real or a presumed common genealogy or ancestry. Ethnicity is also defined in terms of shared genealogy, whether actual or presumed. Ethnicity and race are similar like in the 19th century, there was development of the political ideology of ethnic nationalism creating nations based on a presumed shared ethnic origins, Also race in the 19 century the concept nationalism was often used to justify the domination of race over the another within a specific nation that how the two are so similar. The existence of thoughts that are racist or a thought that defies politically correct notions related to race, Racist is a religious term that is equivalent to heathen in Christianity or infidel in Islam. Also discrimination is a action of violence is action even hatred is sort of an action. Racism unlike race is a social construct and does exist outside the imaginations of a political correctards. Structural Racism encompass the entire system of the white supremacy, diffused and infused in all aspects of society, including our history, culture, politics, economics and our entire social fabric. Structural racism is the most profound and pervasive form of racism all other forms of racism emerge from the structural racism. Racism is a relatively young concept within world history it’s only little bit 500 years old before Columbus there was no racism. It was the writings of Columbus that set in motion the idea that some were superior then others and were inferior and that the criteria for that superiority and the inferiority was in the color of a man or a woman’s skin.
