America’s relationship with racial minorities, religious minorities, and immigrants has subsided and flowed with time, ranging from acceptance to fear. Since white Europeans first landed in North America the persecution of “the other” followed and continues today. It’s been nearly 151 years since The Civil War ended, but the battle between the races rages on. While many people in South embrace Confederate flag as a sign of heritage, many in the African American community view it as a symbol of hate. America clearly has a problem when it comes to minorities and yet no one has the solution to the problem. Still to date African-Americans are viewed as a thief, Mexicans are viewed as a rapist or a drug dealer and Muslims are viewed as a terrorist. Race or racial ideology runs deep in American history and culture. In certain ways, it’s at the core of American political culture. America’s identity is shaped by race. So, given its significance in our history, it’s not surprising that it continues to be relevant. In my article, I will highlight the recent events that took place in America and how they were presented in the media and what are were the consequences minorities’ had to face because of

Goodman develops her point by heavily using pathos to highlight the value of children while asserting sarcastic remarks. Her purpose is to promote the message behind her newly formed group, “GrannyVoter”, in order to influence grandparents to publicly speak out their values beside “social security, prescription drugs, and medicine” and the changes they truly want to see. Goodman formulates an informal relationship with her audience of grandparents who are not pleased with the

    During the Reconstruction Era, African-Americans began to attain more political power. Therefore, African Americans began a large rally toward better social and economic fairness. This type of behavior startled the white supremacy and therefore, reacted with fear and violence (Alexander, 2010). This became the birth of Jim Crow, a series of firm anti-black laws. Whites believed that in order to “redeem” the South, it would be reinforced with a rising group known as the Ku Klux Klan, which “fought a terrorist campaign against Reconstruction governments and local leaders, complete with bombings, lynching, and mob violence” (Alexander, 2010, p. 30).

    African Americans have systematically been deprived of equal opportunities and fundamental rights in America since the establishment of slavery. Although the Civil Rights Act banned the implementation of segregation and racial inequality over 40 years ago, the overall concept of racial and cultural hierarchy still lingers at the forefront of today’s society. White America’s history of racially oppressing, isolating, and segregating African Americans have led to present-day issues surrounding the political and economic forces that intentionally limits Blacks access to and opportunity from social, economic, educational, and political advancement through the institution of structural racism.

People across the country develop their own views on national issues, based only on personal experience and what the media tells them. Whether it be intention or ignorance, Americans are not supplied with enough information to accurately confront the major, national problems that lie just inside this country’s borders. Americans are unaware of slavery and socioeconomic issues that exist around them, which in turn presents a concern when trying to combat

    Therefore, it becomes crucial for government legislation to protect these rights for people of all races, colors, genders, religious affiliations, and nationalities. As a country that values morals, the U.S. federal government harbors a duty to protect its citizens.

Thus, one can see the great significance of the civil rights act and its critical role in ensuring the protection of American
