Justification Or Racial Discrimination Not Justified?

Decent Essays
I am writing in regards to your current racial discrimination policy.I understand that only whites may go to your amusement park.However, it is not justified because if we were still divided you guys would have less business, it wouldn't be fair to colored people, and in Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a dream” it says “all men are created equal.” In conclusion,the racial discrimination is not justified. One of the reasons,the racial discrimination policy is not justified is because if we were still divided there would be less business.According to the Mason Dixon Memory it quotes “Eleven white boys from Long Island, had made its decision:’we won't go.’”This shows that eleven boys didn’t go to the trip because Clifton couldn’t go.This also illustrates that they would lose customers because they won’t think it's fair if …show more content…
While you may believe that the amusement park is not justified in racial discrimination policy,there is evidence to prove otherwise.For example,according to the Mason Dixon Memory “the management doesn't allow negroes inside”This illustrates that they don’t allow colored people because they don’t want their customers to start fights.Furthermore this document proves that they also didn’t allow colored people in because the amusement park is in Maryland.Therefore, some people say that the racial policy is not justified but it can also be justified. Overall, the racial policy is not correct because it's not lawful.It is not justified becuase Mlk says “all men are created equal.” Also, colored people wouldn’t think it's fair.Additionally,people would lose business.Finally, the racial discrimination policy is not

    In 1955 segregation was horible black and whites were seperated and they had differant restrooms, water and were not allowed to go in some places. In sources 1 it says ''African Americans were not allowed to use the same restrooms or water fountains as white residents and were refused entry to many restaurants, stores, and schools. I think being couragious means to stand up and keep fighting for what you want or need. As you can see Rose Parks kept fighting for her right to be free by not giving up her seat on the bus. In source 1 it says ''...…

    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.”…

    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.…

    By 1960, the nonviolent measures taken during the civil rights movement had begun to gain momentum. “Cooking Up Change: How Food Helped Fuel The Civil Rights Movement” by Nancy Shute, gives the reader a better understanding of why the denial of fair dining is important. The article emphasizes the idea that segregation leads to action; it like cause and effect. Nancy Shute stated, “Legal challenges and demonstrations were cracking the foundations of segregation, but a black person still couldn't sit down and eat a hamburger or a piece of pie in a store that was all too willing to take his money for a tube of toothpaste.” I’ve always believed that equity should go along with equality to help promote fairness and criminalize institutionalized…

    Civil Rights Act Of 1964

    Today was the fifth day of class, and for the majority of the class, Dr. Bennett-Alexander discussed affirmative action, a set of laws, policies, guidelines, and administrative practices “intended to end and correct the effects of a specific form of discrimination.” It is remarkable to hear Dr. Bennett-Alexander name certain events from 1619 to 1980 from the back of her head, I certainly cannot accomplish that. From 1619, when the first recorded Africans arrived in the United States of America as indentured servants, all the way up to 1964, when Title VII of the Civil Right Act of 1964 was signed into law, the United States of America has come a long way. I found it of particular significance that quotas are not permitted, this is actually…

    I am very aware of the popular belief out there that, we live in a time of sharply decreasing faith in the criminal justice system. The historic mistreatment of African-Americans at the hands of the criminal justice system is widely acknowledged, and no one would agree that the vestiges of those tragic practices have all been removed. But no doubt in my mind that progress has been recorded. Americans have tried to address these problems over the years by requiring objective, race-neutral justifications for government actions within the criminal justice system. We have, for example, required that the jury representation be composed of a fair cross-section of the community.…

    On May 4, 1961, the first Freedom Rides began, founded by James Farmer, Marvin Rich, Gordon Carey, and Jim McCain. Gathering twelve to fourteen people and travel from Virginia to Alabama, to promote nonviolence through a sit-in movement was their plan. Dr. Walter and Frances Bergman, Reverend B. Elton Cox, James Peck, Hank Thomas, Albert Bigelow, John Lewis, Genevieve Hughes, Joe Perkins, and Ed Blankenheim were recruited for this movement and sent to Washington, D.C. for intensive training.

    In the mid 1800’s segregation played a big role in society. All public areas such as restrooms restaurants and schools were separate but not equal like the law said it should be. Even the railways were segregated, there were different railway cars for blacks and whites. The only exception was that nurses working on children of the opposite color were allowed to sit in the different compartments. A penalty of twenty-five dollars or up to twenty days in jail was the consequence for sitting in the opposite cart.…

    The ethnic and racial stratifications in the United States educational system have been reinforced throughout history by means of public policy on racial biases. The biases in which policies are formulated and applied, has created and expanded the achievement gap between White-Americans and minorities. These policies are not always directly targeting low-income schools, however it can be seen within the segregation of residential areas that has a direct impact on local schools. The racial and ethnic stratification of education in low-income schools is not simply the work of one factor, but a combination of sociological elements that have perpetuated these circumstances. Through intergroup relations, sociological components, and historical events constrain the…

    Discrimination is a prevalent issue in society that has decreased over time, but is still occurring. It can be found in more subtle ways than in the past when Whites had their own water fountain to drink out of and Blacks were forced to sit in the back of the bus. The movie, Crash, depicts the prejudice that is present in modern day society. The characters show how people of different races and social classes interact with one another. The stereotypes about the different races are evidently present throughout the film.…
