African American
Being African American has never been easy. White America has always been stereotypical of black people, although blacks have shaped American history through inventions, sports, and political science. The way White America has looked at blacks has never changed. No matter how much money you have, you’re still a “nigga.” African Americans have been fighting for equality since the birth of this nation, and the war is raging on. At this point in America’s history, a battle of epic proportions is taking place. The objective is to get "mainstream" America to realize that there is still much more to be done to eliminate the crimes that have been perpetrated and perpetuated against so-called minorities in this democracy. After committing genocide against Native Americans, and securing the slave trade-- one of the most heinous situations that the world has seen-- are "minorities" supposed to be pleased by mere legislation in the form of Civil rights? After centuries of free labor, and leaving thousands of people homeless and/or with no economic power, does America truly believe that it has rid itself of this situation by exclaiming, "You are equal!"
