ethnic studies
America is a land often depicted for its freedoms and opportunities that one so hopefully desires to experience but when you take away the sugar coated deceptions of our beautiful America you get a life time of hate, endless sacrifices and many obstacles that minorities had to overcome to be accepted as an American. After the Civil War and during World War II their were many minorities that paved the way for others but in my opinion the two most recognized ethnic groups that were able to improve their political, social and economic positions within the United States history were African Americans and Native American people. In this essay I will discuss the Native Americans, African Americans as well as two articles in which, I gained very insightful knowledge from and show how all these works has made our America the home it has become today. Over the past hundred years are so, America has shown a great deal of discrimination against African American people. It first started when Africans were taken against their will and put on ships to be sent to America to become slaves for rich Caucasian people. Caucasians gave African Americans little or no rights and had many African Americans doing daily task such as, picking cotton, coo
They were also being paid by wages now. They are nursing-home workers and retail clerks. After a while African American people began to realize that the treatment they were receiving was cruel, usual and violated their freedoms of being human beings. After World War II the Native Americans received higher standards of living, a greater education, health care, and more job opportunities. In the second article 'Reassembling Africa' many African Americans were ship all around the world to places to work for the white man but what I did not know was that when they came over from Africa many of them bought along new discoveries that was developed and used by the white man and they gave no credit to the African American people. No one should have to settle for anything less then what they are suppose to because if that is so, what happen to the America that promised us gold but in returned gave us silver. World War II gradually became a turning point for many Native American people economically, politically and socially. African Americans had the opportunity to become self-employed by owning their own land and running their own farms, instead of their masters plantation. So in my opinion what does the word America really means when you take away the ethnicity? . " Not in one of those descriptions did I find a minority being a CEO, Vice-President or President of a corporation. She is separated from her husband, who gives her no child support. They left there land to travel to unfamiliar places, where people did not understand their ways. They are hospital orderlies and teachers' assistants. I believe a good deal of credit should go to the Native Americans for their outstanding role they played in America's victory in World War II. In the article "Working and Poor in the USA" by Beth Schulman, it shows how minorities are still being faced with obstacles that they have to overcome.
