Discussion on Racism in the United States.

/in /by

I will pay for the following article Racism in the United States. The work is to be 5 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. The law does not allow people to be racists. But, people are treated in a bad way because of their color. Recent news stories have shown a lot of many racially discriminative incidences. The mid-20th Century saw a major decline in racism in the United States. this was courtesy of the efforts of civil right movements, court rulings, and individual motivations such as that of Martin Luther King Junior

In the United States, all the people of the world are here. Many people come from their countries to the US when looking for better opportunities. Since its discovery, many groups of people have found their way into this wonderful country. There are the African Americans, the Native Americans, the European Americans, the Asian Americans, and the Latin Americans. Before we became independent, the civilized European Americans advanced racial discrimination against other races hence forming the basis of racial discrimination in the US. They took most of the privileges. they took slaves from Africa and Asia who served them. During the course of time, racism was advanced through slavery, intermittent camps, reservations for the Native Americans, and segregation (Morris, 2012). On the other hand, the Indian wars were a major characteristic of racial discrimination at the time.

Racism is bad and has taken a long time to reduce. Abraham Lincoln stood against forced labor hence people of all colors felt better. In the 19th century, Jim Crows Laws brought the doctrine of “separate but equal” which took almost a century to behave its meaning known. In a 1954 Supreme Court ruling (Brown v. Board of education), segregation among students from various racial backgrounds that existed was abolished. The fight was not won, a terror gang that is still in existence Ku Klux Klansmen (KKK) that advances racial discrimination was linked to the burning of a Birmingham church killing four black girls. Civil rights activism against racism arose. martin Luther King Junior started mass protests.&nbsp.

Should This Student Have Been Expelled.

/in /by

You will prepare and submit a term paper on Should This Student Have Been Expelled. Your paper should be a minimum of 250 words in length. In a case filed in Detroit by The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan assailing that the Dearborn Public Schools violated the First Amendment when it prohibited a student named Bretton Barber from wearing t-shirt that depicted a picture of President Bush with the caption “International Terrorist,” the Court find in the petitioner’s favor. The decision relied mainly on the fact there is no showing of any disturbance created by the display on the shirt and that it is in actuality covered by the freedom of speech. The main argument of the defense holding that the school ground is no place for political debate was unheeded by Judge Patrick J. Duggan (American Civil Liberties Union, par. 1-4).

The group has yet again stabilized the mission it has set forth to uphold students’ free speech as a matter of right. This is in consonance with the essay of Nat Hentoff entitled “Should This Student Have Been Expelled?” which argues that the expulsion was based on a vague provision on the Brown University student handbook. The opposition on the regulation of the freedom of speech in the academic setting finds ground in the fact that this could easily lead to animosity among groups which most likely involve a minority and their consternation over the privileged majority. In the same way, it may also be the reactionary temperament of the minority who may be oppressed through various ways and means. As with the case of Barber, the school found that the discussion of a major political issue could give rise to problems. The Judge decided that the mere fear of the school principal that the shirt contained an unpopular political stance cannot impede free speech (American Civil Liberties Union, par. 4). In the end, there must be enough sensibility on both sides in a manner that one tolerates the other and vice versa. One cannot express an opinion on the sole basis of making known of an opinion but it must be coupled with enough receptiveness and rationality to consider other people’s feelings.
