How are blacks discriminated?

Question

I'm doing a project for school on discrimination, and I need a few ways the black community is being discriminated?

Answer 1

For an american perspective-historical read "The Souls of Black Folk" written by Web Du Bois.

Answer 2

They aren't, they say they are, but really they aren't. They can take a light turning red before they get through it, and turn it into discrimination. It's all in a matter of how they perceive it. I do agree that a some of them probably don't get hired at companies because they are black, and that based on skin color only. But there is a difference if it's because of their skin color, or the way they look, act and talk. So I'm sure blacks aren't getting hired because of a certain representation they can't bring to a company. But that's just me. I don't know, ask a black person.

Answer 3

That's easy, ready:
1. They get most of the welfare money in this country.
2. They get bussed into better education sites, because their own teachers can't do the job.
3. They are given priority for jobs with the Federal/State/Local governments.
4. An inordinate amount of blacks, per capita, are professional sports stars/music stars.
5. Nothing controversial they say has caught any backlash in the liberal media...like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Farrakhan.
I could go on, but the poor black people would get a conscience and realize they never had it so good.

Answer 4

Out of all the Presidents of the United States of America, and we "The United States of America" have a holiday, called, Presidents Day......No one gets that day off.....but Blacks have a "Month"-Black History Month?" and 1 person, Martin Luther King, Jr.- and its a "Federal Holiday", banks, post office, governement closed.........sure, sounds racist, almost mean, to say that, how could I.....Just a fact.....but, seriously though, Is it really that hard to tell who is "Rollin up n da hood in da Fleetwood" to get their Colors on? and spraypaint everyones car or garage door, to show how kewl, it is??", cmon', dont say you cant tell, and you couldnt tell what the german hitler type was like????, lets get real, wake up and forget about smelling coffee, but rather drink some, and do something about all of the shizzle up n da hizzle.....

Answer 5

Blacks in the US are routinely (and illegaly) discriminated against by employers (not being hired, hired for lower positions, denied promotions...) by law enforcement (Blacks are more routinely suspected of commiting crimes) and often by the general public.

Do a google search for "Discrimination against black persons"

Also check out the NAACP website.

Answer 6

They aren't.
