In political and economy subject to different degrees of discrimination. Blacks make up 13 percent of the total population of the United States, but blacks account for only 5 percent of elected public offices at all levels. Even national police in the color of a considerable proportion of people, but in fact the black police only a little, and senior police officers in black even less. The largest 500 companies in The United States do not have blacks as chief executives. Of course, there are some blacks fights for the unjust treatment, but others submitted to the unjust treatment. “In part of few middle-class Negroes who, because of a degree of academic and economic security and because in some ways they profit by segregation, have become insensitive to the problems of the masses” (King 7). This is very dreadful phenomenon because some of blacks bribed by the government, and it reduce the strength of against evil. We should remembered bitter experience; we should say “on more” for the unjust treatment; we should change the way people thought. Only if all the blacks and other minorities unity together, this world will become better.
In all, even those days are not gone, some people still suffer in all kinds of encounters, but this world is getting better by those who fight for the unequal treatment. They anti-discriminate; say no to racism; protest against racial discrimination because they know only against the darkness, the light will finial come.

Martin Luther King Jr.’s argument is a reflection of decades of work pursuing social justice as a civil rights activist.

(King 11). This shows how blacks have to live in a society in which they seen as inferior and degraded as a person and it is unreasonable for them to have the patience to wait for these incidents to stop occurring. He further explains that there will “... come a time when the cup of endurance runs over and men are no longer willing to be plunged into the abyss of injustice” (King 11).This demonstrates how the wait for change will not be possible because the patience of African Americans has run thin from already waiting for so

He then goes into detail about the low percentages of the African American people who were in congress or in higher offices for the negro carpet bag rule. Although many African Americans that studied in the north returned to the south after the war, many were still illiterate and unprepared to participate in voting which lead to corruption. The author then reports Caucasian men were corrupt in a way that decreased the African Americans from being officials or testifying against a Caucasian and overthrowing them.

Racism and racial inequality was extremely prevalent in America during the 1950’s and 1960’s. James Baldwin shows how racism can poison and make a person bitter in his essay “Notes of a Native Son”. Dr. Martin Luther King’s “A Letter from Birmingham Jail” also exposes the negative effects of racism, but he also writes about how to combat racism. Both texts show that the violence and hatred caused from racism form a cycle that never ends because hatred and violence keeps being fed into it. The actions of the characters in “Notes of a Native Son” can be explain by “A Letter from Birmingham Jail”, and when the two texts are paired together the racism that is shown in James Baldwin’s essay can be solved by the plan Dr. King proposes in his

Martin Luther King Jr. stated, in his famous speech, “I have a dream that one day in Alabama,[...]with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification,[...]little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls” (n. pag.). Social prejudice is omnipresent, wrapping its ugly claws over all people, all across the world. Social injustice takes numerous repulsive forms including oral beatings, like the governor of Alabama, inequitable trials and justice, social exclusion and segregation, diminishment of rights, and even death. Martin Luther, in his famous speech, is protesting against the segregation and minimization of African American rights.

Professor Khalil Girban Muhammad gave an understanding of the separate and combined influences that African Americans and Whites had in making of present day urban America. Muhammad’s lecture was awakening, informative and true, he was extremely objective and analytical in his ability to scan back and forth across the broad array of positive and negative influences. Muhammad described all the many factors during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries since the abolition of slavery and also gave many examples of how blackness was condemned in American society in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Professor Muhammad was able to display how on one hand, initial limitations made blacks seem inferior, and various forms of white prejudice made things worse. But on the other hand, when given the same education and opportunities, there are no differences between black and white achievements and positive contributions to society.

Dr. King illustrates the illogical wrong doings of America towards black people in his two writings to represent the error and injustice in segregation. In “I Have a Dream” Dr. King explains that even though slavery ended “one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free.” In addition to this in “I Have a Dream”, the text also states that the constitution promised “unalienable Rights” to all American citizens but it has failed to give black people, american citizens, their rights. In “Letter from Birmingham Jail”, the black community sought to negotiate and talk with the people in power, whites, “But the latter consistently refused to engage in good faith negotiation.” Furthermore in “Letter from Birmingham Jail”, Dr. King relates how

“Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.

Racial inequalities have gripped the nation for centuries and haven’t seemed to have vanished as many claim they have. Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech in which he addresses this issue, “I Have a Dream,” is the most compelling speech because he conveys his opinion on peacefully gaining equality clearly by using strong literary devices. He convinces that blacks would not give up on equality, they would gain it without violence, and ignoring their position would do nothing to change it. No matter what occurred during their attempts for their rightful place in society, the blacks refused to give up.

In the era of the Jim Crow laws, African Americans were upset because they were segregated in public places. King informs Americans that they “can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro’s basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one” (9). King exaggerates that African Americans can never be in peace as long as they do not have equal rights.
