The Role Of Segregation In The United States
Segregation in the United Sates has been a controversal topic throughout history. With many people turning on African Americans or black people. The 1960s were a growth of progress within a small amount of time. Before the Civil rights movement in the 1960s, many schools were segregated, with white people in one school and black people in another. In that time period black people were highly discriminated against. It would have been very uncommon for a white person to have a black friend or a boyfriend/girlfriend of a different color. White people treated black people like trash and like sterotypes. I don't think that they even really accepted them as real human beings, that have feelings just like them.
I believe that the disrcrimination
that happened to the Arfican American people was purely because of the past. In the old days, there used to be slaves (mostly in southern states, but also all over the world). These slaves were black poor people, they were thought of as someones property rather then a human being. Most of them worked in plantations or in houses where rich white people lived. They lived an extrememly tough life, having to endure many things that most of us wouldnt survive through. They were treated horribly and were even sold at auctions just like you would sell an item.
Although times had changed by the 1900's and most of the slavery around the world had diminsihed. Segregation and discrimination had followed it, which I believe is mainly due to the past and people not wanting to move with the future. For generations this idea that black people were the runts was carved into peoples minds, time is the only thing that could heal this.
Even today many African Americans experience discriminations, although it is not as prevalent. And the thinking of the past has faded into the background, as time and willingness to change have made this possible.
