For centuries our society has been fighting for equality of race, at times facing great setback and strife. Walking through certain cities today, they seem so fully integrated that it would be hard to remember that they were once otherwise. However, as you travel deeper into the south that centuries old racism becomes more and more prevalent. It is not uncommon to see a confederate flag outside someone’s house or flying behind a teenage boy’s lifted truck. It wouldn’t be shocking to hear a racial slur leave an old man’s mouth.…

Two Americas: The Inequalities Between White and Black Citizens In the United States, it isn’t unusual for children to know the Pledge of Allegiance before they know how to properly read. The Pledge signifies the unity of America; our “one nation, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all” (Wyman). But for children of color—particularly black children—there isn’t just one America; rather, they learn early on that white Americans lead very different lives than they. Black children grow up learning in early childhood education programs that are less instructionally supportive of than their white counterparts (Quitana et al 29).…
Racial disparities begin when offenders are in the process of being sentenced for a drug offensives. Judges don’t look at the punishment itself, but the volume at which the offense occurs can play a factor. It could be someone’s first offense a harsh sentence could possibly be imposed. When it comes to punishing offenders, a judge should disregard their own person biases. It shouldn’t matter which social class an offender comes from.…
Not only did Roosevelt advocate the ‘square deal,’ but he was known as the ‘trust-buster’. Trusts were the merging of big companies, monopolies, to control the marketing of certain products. In 1890, he upheld the Sherman Anti-trust Act, passed by Harrison, which made trusts/ monopolies illegal. However, it was initially misused against unions.…
Racial equality has always been a sensitive and controversial topic in the world, and during the Jim Crow era it was an especially hard time for blacks. The biggest problem was with traveling, finding motels, and finding a diner that would even let african americans eat there. During this time period you had the choice whether you wanted to serve a black person or not. In spite of this, black civic leader Victor H. Green created a guide book of rules for blacks when traveling. This included rules such as; keep a slow but reasonable speed limit when driving, and obey all traffic regulations, and to be kind/respectful towards other drivers.…

America is an immensely diverse nation; built on the ideals of the ‘Land of the Free’ and ‘Home of the Brave’. The United States is also known as the Land of Opportunity, but how true do the statements ring for all of its citizens? Civil rights movements, within the United States, have made large milestone victories since the early to mid-1960s; changes and implemented laws and policies have since guided a movement of appeared equality. How is it then, with this appeared movement of equality, that the United States penal system has become so overwhelmed and disproportioned in the representation of its races? Racial disparities between Non-Hispanic Whites, Non-Hispanic Blacks, and Hispanics, within the penal system, have become increasingly more concerning.…
Social Institutions regarding Racial Inequality Slavery ended over 150 years ago and In 1964 the Civil Rights Act ended all laws regarding segregation. Have you ever wondered why racial inequality is still prevalent in today’s day and age. Well a lot of the reasoning behind racial inequality still existing is in fact due to social institutions. Throughout the course of this paper I’m going to argue that inequality still presides due to institutional arrangements thus being unsustainable.…
The racial history of the United States is complex and highly controversial. Though it still is easy to understand details about key occurrences, society’s perceptions have been skewed by textbooks, newspapers, and journals which inaccurately portrayed the motives of people involved. Primary documents provide direct insight into the reactions of people who lived through events that happened many years ago without added outside opinion. Analyzing these sources makes it evident that whites in the United States were hesitant to give equal rights and treatment to blacks because they wanted to maintain the notion of superiority.…
I have shown that due to the fact of skin color, one is more likely to be pulled over and serve a longer sentence than that of a non-Hispanic White man. I have shown there is inequality structured within the structure. I have broken it down into three separate races describing what they are most convicted for, how long they are sentenced, and how long they serve their sentence. Racial inequality does exist. This inequality stems from the time of slavery when diversity was not accepted.…
African Americans and their influential leaders fought in many ways against racism, segregation, and discrimination following the Civil War until present time. African Americans’ struggle to achieve racial equality and full citizenship in the United States forced them to find ways to enhance their quality of life and establish strong political foundations capable of achieving meaningful social, cultural and economic changes. Their fight for equality led them to create durable movements that ultimately helped attain African Americans’ position in today’s society. The Reconstruction era, 1865-1877, was the time following the Civil War.…
