How Did Racism Changed America In The 1930's

-Racism is and was killing America but has slowly improved over the last 90 years. Racism is horrible, and no one should be subjected to it. It tears apart family, friends and at one time almost tore apart America. In the 1930’s racism was a big thing it was everywhere but way more common in the south as it was during the civil war. Blacks and other races besides Caucasian were subjected to hate just because they were just of a different skin tone. In the 1930’s blacks did not go to schools with whites, they did not drink out of the fountain the white drank out of they did not go to the bathroom with the whites everything was segregated.
-racism is not as bad as it was in the 1930’s. Black people were treated like trash whites did not even consider them as people. As opposed to today we are more aware of each other’s as individuals with feelings, dreams and goals. You would never see a colored man working a high end job like lawyers etc. but now America is so diverse you can see any man or women of any color working any job. It was so bad whites hated colored women and men living by them or in their neighborhood. Then when a black man in the south was accused of a crime even if he wasn’t

innocent or was they never got a fair trial. “What are facts about racism 1930’s?” Answers.com Jan 15 2005 http://www.answers.com/Q/What_are_facts_about_racism_in_1930's#slide=3
- In the 1930’s there was a clan made up of whites and despised colored people (Ku Klux Klan) the kkk.

At that time in the 1930’s there were over 4 million members all over North America. They were so racist in fact they killed tortured and burned colored people. Then white people were known to call colored people niggers and other slang words and if you supported black people and didn’t hate them you would be ridiculed and called a nigger lover. During the great depression as usual blacks suffered worse and had an unemployment of 50% as compared to whites 25%. The 50% was bad and low paying the average pay of colored people was barely enough to support 2 people. Alex, LaFosta “racism in the 1920’s and 30’s” synonym.com

- Race relation is not as bad as it was. People today might say different but multiple studies show more white people die from cops than blacks people might think. People think it has gotten worse because we are more sensitive to race implications like blacks dying by the hands of whites. Which only happens a handful of times where the blacks were wrongly killed. In the 1930’s millions of black people were being killed for no reason except white’s hated them. This has led to a month where we are reminded of this black history month.

-now some ways today has gotten worse. Some of these ways are like some say are president is somewhat racist he has made many racist quotes like the one he made to the Muslim parents of a war hero who gave his life for this country. Another way it has gotten worse is racist stereotypes like all blacks are good a basketball, white people don’t have rhythm, all Asians are smart, Hispanics don’t speak English or not very good, native Americans like to gamble, all white people are racist and Hispanics are illegal immigrants or all Jews are poor. Another way it has gotten worse is racism directed towards Hispanics coming into America illegally and taking jobs.
- My conclusion is that racism has in fact decreased over the last 90 years. The kkk is fading we are not segregated by schools or bathrooms or busses. Any other race has a fair trial and can get any job they want if they just work towards that goal. We are more sensitive to racism we see all other people as individuals. We have come a long way since then we are acceptant over other races and cultures now.
