Dondre's Appropriate Discrimination Towards African-Americans?

Improved Essays
I have just learned about the incident regarding your unacceptable discrimination towards Mr. Green. I am concerned about the way you act towards African-Americans just because you think you’re allowed to. Dondré Green is a young African-American boy who just wanted to play golf, but he was denied his rights as a human in America and kicked out. Your establishment should allow Dondré to participate in his golfing career because he has a right to and you can’t take that right away from him. I realize that you may consider African-Americans to be lower class and a bad influence on your business, however, The Declaration of Independence says that “all men are created equal.” Showing proof that what you did was wrong.

    I am writing in regards to your current discrimination policy. I understand that you believe whites should only be allowed at the Glen Echo Amusement Park. However, your policy is not justified because people shouldn’t be judged by their color. It really doesn't matter if they were orange, purple, red, and etc. Also you could change it, so negroes and whites can go together.…

    In history classes, we often teach children that those who do not learn from their past are doomed to repeat it in their future. Simply logging on to Facebook, picking up a newspaper or having lunch with friends will tune you into the problems of today that look very similar to what previous generations were facing from the 20s to 80s. As Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow, said, black men are more likely to be discriminated against in employment, housing, public benefits, jury duty, and more than during the Jim Crow era, (Alexander 106). People have taken to the streets in protest like the Civil Rights and Vietnam War era. Society is awakening from its zombie state of ignorance and finally openly discussing and debating the roots…

    1. No, I was not aware of the historical practices of discrimination against African Americans in real estate. Not being aware of the history it caused me to conduct a research about why real estate was difficult for African Americans.

This is because I lived in an area that was heavily populated with Hispanics/ Mexicans, which I never really saw any other race/culture in my hometown.…

    The injustices of America’s justice system One like myself does believe that the justice system has in fact been bias towards African-Americans. Many people believe this because our country's history with treating African-Americans horribly and very unfairly. Yes, I do understand that some may believe that the bias of the justice systems towards African-American is just a fallacy and the number of African-American behind bars has nothing to do with an unfair justice system, but there are many studies that have proven otherwise.

    Affirmative action or special race based treatment only furthers discriminatory mindsets in society. Affirmative action with motivations based in race can take the form of passing a student who does not understand the material or hiring a client because they are of a specific nationality even though they are not fit for the job. According to Walter E. Williams’ novel “Up from the Projects: An Autobiography,” many African Americans believe that progress in equality cannot be made until discrimination is eliminated, and view discrimination as the reason for their plight which creates a mental self improvement barrier and an attitude of complacency. Throughout the autobiography, Walter E. Williams expounds upon his views of discrimination and…

    The sentence, “And you are not the guy and still you fit the description because there is only one guy who is always the guy fitting the description” is repeated. I think it’s repeated because the author want to remind us that there is always someone mistaken for the criminal. This is important because in the black community, people are always being frisk for unjustified reasons or rather they fit the description. Everytime I read that sentence, I start to think deeper and and ask myself why is there always one other person that fits the criminal description? I learned in my American Government class that black people are the highest victims of stop and frisk.…

    Being an American means more than just being given an opportunity to live freely. There are numerous hardships that one must strongly endure to call themselves a full-fledged American.

They are only second to white males due to racial discrimination within the corporate world (Zweigenhaft and Dombhoff 136).

    This paper explains the oppression of the African American’s association with white’s since the early beginning of slavery. From slavery, suffering and failure to be treated with dignity and respect, the restriction on the African American individual has gone through change after change, and still lacks self-identification as a person being treated as equal and just. Slavery and discrimination has progressively been a way to hinder people of color who continued to be separated, and killed not for a crime, but for who they were. African American’s are still enslaved in many ways today, especially through mass incarceration, which is the new form of slavery and the misrepresentation of individuals of color who continue to be demeaned, which…
