examine the healthcare racial inequalities of African Americans. Cultural differences, and racial conscious and unconscious are factors that contribute to the gap in African American health. Therefore, collecting only medical data and physician behaviors towards certain diagnosis, is not enough to determine or conclude that there aren’t any deep rooted unforeseen components that play into racialist thinking by physicians. Despite the alarming writings of African Americans dying of heart…

about the African American cultural group was reported suspicion of the medical community. I understand African Americans have higher death rates when compared to other ethnic groups because of socioeconomic factors, but it never occurred to me that some within the groups could have mistrust of the medical community. After reading the books information on the Tuskegee Syphilis study I can really see why mistrust can exists. One could only image the number of medical mistreatments African…

freedom” (Gates 58) creating the colonization movement. The concept behind this movement was to remove African Americans from America back to Africa. This was thought to be a solution to "gradually end the institution of slavery and thus the problem of race by removing all the slaves and former slaves back to Africa" (Gates 58).

Many young African Americans prefer rap music especially when the singer is black. In the United States where there is a large settlement of the African Americans like in Texas, it is common to find a group of young African Americans listening and enjoying music from their fellow black Americans.

tools to have in today’s society, especially because of what it has taken for African-Americans to have the right to attend school or even learn how to read and write for that matter.

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…

example, in the case of gaining civil rights for colored people in the U.S., many people who believed that the white race was the supreme race hindered the obtainment of full freedom for African Americans. While the fourteenth amendment, which ratified full rights for African Americans, came out in the year 1868, African Americans were segregated and had poorer quality services than whites under the ruling “separate but equal.” It was not as late as 1957 that black people were able to get the…

opportunities that you're allowed access to is, of course, your race. Before the Civil Rights Movement in 1954, African Americans were especially faced with inequality in this country. Along with being prohibited from many public services, African Americans were also limited from generally being a part of a lot of the “distinguished”professions available back then. “The ‘successful’ (African Americans) were such as waiters and bootblacks.” (Haley, 5), with their earnings being barely just enough…
