As we learn in all text books and every history class that we take in high school. The people of African descent have been oppressed for hundreds of years. With unjustness in every aspect of a black man and women’s life. The problem is obviously the biggest thing that is important in my paper; which seems like all people focus on now a days. What I want to get to is our solutions, the struggles of every civil rights activist, every slave who revolted, and every everyday black human that aided in the “solution” to oppression. The question still persist today: Will there ever be an end to the scrutiny and the dragging down of not only the African people but in every person experiencing it?

These two men represented both sides and tactics to a solution of oppression. Malcom X represented more of the militant approach while Dr. King presented the peaceful aspect to the fight against oppression. Malcom X was often accused of promoting racism and violence to whom he was preaching too. Starting off as a Christian man he later converted to the Muslim religion and became known as el-Hajj el-Shabazz. He was introduced to the injustice of black people when his father was six and his mother was wrongfully placed in a mental health institute. The murders of his father were acquitted in trial after only 10 minutes of deliberation of the jury. Since that day Malcom wanted to make a change and aided in the foundation of the Black Panther party which followed the same militant values that he held close.
On the peaceful side of protest came Dr.King. Doctor King was a poet and a Baptist minister. He is best known for his role in the nonviolent civil rights movements. With protest such as the Selma march, The Freedom Riders, and the famous ‘”I Have A Dream Speech” ; made him the most popular activist when it comes to civil rights.

I say temporary because what they fought for and what they voiced was wrong was not un heard but was entertained for a little period of time. Back then the problem was oppression on a certain culture and the solution was to fight back, militantly or peacefully. Now a days the problem is a cultural that’s degrading its self. I don’t mean that we intend to do it, but with the type of music that’s put out and how we act and the stereotypes as well as statistics that are representing us is the real problem. As a person of African descent I am ashamed for my people. We are known as the people who are always locked up with twenty kids and child support up to our ears. Or the stereotype of no black man has a father and he won’t make it in life. These are horrible things to say about my people and I know that not all of us fit the degrading stereotypes but it is true for most. This is the reason why we continue to be oppressed in modern society because we don’t want to change our selves. The solution to this is to revolt against the stereotype’s that try to define us and make a change in our everyday lives. Don’t give people a reason to oppress black people and don’t waste the lives of people who died for us white and black; to live free without oppression and drink from the fountain of prosperity. So the problem is oppression and deculturalization of a certain ethnicity that is being
