After nearly 300 years, why are African Americans still not accepted into our predominately white society? Today, African Americans are still striving to survive in a white man's world. Our country has been built on the standards of freedom and equality for all, but these basic rights have been denied.
Every year the amount of interracial relationships increase dramatically. As interracial relationships increase there is more and more prejudice towards these people. Fredo Starr once sang about this problem. .
When you turn out the lights we are all the same. Because I see you"re true colors shinning through. I see your true colors and that's why I love you.
This song was called true colors because he could see through the color of your skin to see who you really are. .
What would you do if you were automatically judged by the color of your skin? Would you stand up for your rights? City High clearly stated in a song called "What Would You do," that African American Families are struggling to get treated as a equal individual. .
For you this is just a good time, but for me this is what I call life. What would you do? Cause I don't want my baby to go through what I went through.
Day by day they get looked down upon and judged as they struggle to fit in. .
Many Americans believe that African Americans are getting treated equally while others believe they are getting treated the way they deserve. 2Pac once said:.
I see no changes all I see is racist faces and misplaced hate.
Although many believe racism has greatly improved; African Americans see nothing of this. They came to America for freedom and in return they received hatred, racism, and slavery.
In conclusion, Racism is still a big issue in America. Although, hatred against African Americans has come along away, I still don't see many changes. Life as an African American is just simply harder then life as an American.
