In a century there will be a whole new set of people on the planet from right now. From the 20th to 21st century think about how much has changed. How much is different?

request to get a person from prison to the court to decide if the person should be held or released. Timothy was not released, for he failed to provide actual evidence proving the racism of the prosecution. Racism has not been eliminated from the people of this world and used against others more often than not. This case is an example. Even though it was not proven, racism was used to get rid of those four black jurors. Timothy wanted to prove that, but was not able to. Proof yet again that the…

phrase in the Declaration of Independence states, “Life, liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” These specific rights are guaranteed to peoples of the world, and the government has a duty to protect and serve these rights. However, the meaning of these aforementioned words did not always seem to apply to every person.

maintaining her relationship with John, no matter how mistreating or racist he was, even if that meant being nicknamed “Nig” (Larsen, 39) . Despite John’s overpowering hate for black people, Clare wanted to “see Negroes, to be with them again, to talk with them, to hear them laugh” (Larsen, 71). The sudden “yearning for her people” led to a change in both her attitude and her identity (Larsen, 51).

access to jobs , but has grown to also encompass ensuring that minorities are allowed admittance to higher education facilities. The goal was to equalize the population in terms of opportunity, and also be equitable in how people were treated.

and the infamous Hitler himself. Adolf Hitler was the leader of these people murdering innocent people, who only was crime was being Jewish. Since when is a religion a crime? These people were murdered for no valid reasoning besides Hitler’s hatred for them. He despised anyone that didn’t have blonde hair and blue eyes. His deep hatred of Jews might have come from his mother, but no one know whys he did this to innocent people. This is a strong example showing how discrimination is…

Wells said this was backwards. She claims that white men were the rapist, and their victims were black women (Pinar 157-158). Wells was a very outspoken woman, and this led to many people wanting her to die, especially when she began to write about white men raping black women because it was something that not many people actually spoke about publically at the time. As she traveled to speak about her beliefs, there were always death threats. Wells began to carry a pistol with her at all times…

The whites got the privilege of being superior as the blacks wallowed…
