It is causing discrimination, segregation, colonialism, slavery, and mass murder. (Nunn, Kenneth B.) The most important thing is that racism is the heart of slavery.

  • Racism and the American Dream From 1492 and 1877

    As stated before, racism is not something that people thought of in the last ten years, it is an ongoing theme that has been flowing through the story of the United States. Starting from the enslavement of black Africans, and moving along to the days of when African Americans were separated from white Americans even though they lived in the same country and walked the same streets. Racism is seen all over the world. Hitler killed close to six million Jews during World War II due to the fact that he claimed that Germans were superior. He said that Jews polluted Europe and began “cleaning” it up. “Racism serves both to discriminate against ethnic minorities and to maintain advantages and benefits for White Americans.” This is what Mark Feinberg, PhD, stated about this issue and most people would agree.

    Slavery came over to America when the first colonies were being established. But at that time they were called indentured servants. As time progressed slavery changed, because it went from indentured servitude to racial slavery. In the eighteenth century, this went even further because before, society used to include slave labor, but it had changed and become focused on slave labor. Slavery became the main and sometimes only labor system, and some colonies became dependent on this racial slave labor. Slaves held a certain silent disdain for slavery, and while they would never speak it out loud but they would find ways to discretely disobey in order to make their lives easier.

    Racism can be defined as "any set of beliefs, which classifies humanity into distinct collectives, defined in terms of natural and/or cultural attributes, and ranks these attributes in a hierarchy of superiority and inferiority" (Blum 5). It can be directly linked to the past and still, centuries later, serves as a painful reminder that race continues to be one of the "sharpest and deepest divisions in American life" (Loewen 138). What are the causes of racism? How did it develop historically? In order to answer those complex questions, I plan to examine the conditions of America's history, from colonialism to present day society.

    The intentions of the All Lives Matter movement seem to be more spiteful, as opposed to helpful. Every time African Americans yell “Black Lives Matter”, outrage from other racial groups tends to emerge as they yell “All Lives Matter” back. It seems like the All Lives Matter movement is more of a tug-a-war game with Black Lives Matter, rather than an activist organization designed to bring cognizance to police abuse. If All Lives Matter is based on justice for everyone, supporters of the group would understand that African American people are treated like second class citizens in the judicial system. Therefore, the black community created Black Lives Matter to stop the United States police from murdering them.
