Today started just like any other day. I walked to school in Hell's Kitchen with Jameson and Linda. We suffered through an hour and a half of spanish together than two hours of math. We got released for lunch and we went to check on Mr. Ramses, who owns Smiles Deli, the best deli in Hell's Kitchen. Mr. Ramses is like a father to me. He always gives my friends free samples of cheese and lets us to do homework in the back. When things get rough at home he lets me stay in his apartment above the deli. After I ate my chicken and cheese sandwich with extra cheese we went back to school. We came home and went to play some baseball in the park, with some other kids from our class. Suddenly, a cop came over and yelled at us to get on the ground. He thought because we had baseball bats and were black that we were muggers. We were on our hands and knees when we saw Mr. Ramses rushing over to come and talk to the police officer. A crack split though the air, and Mr. Ramses fell on the ground, blood pooling around his head. Mr. Ramses was dead before he hit the ground. He was trying to help us, and was shot by a racist police man. The police officer was sentenced to nothing, he lied and said that Mr. Ramses attacked him. My best friend was killed in an act of police brutality, and I live to tell the tale.

D. What is being done to address this problem?

# data[].attributes.body
To address this problem people have been organizing marches and protests in countries all over the world. When our current president was first elected, my family and millions of other families joined in a women's rights and equality march around the world. Current marches in Harlem, Washington D.C. and Charlottesville, have been fighting to keep people protesting and the fight for equality alive. With the recent elections we have seen unprecedented amounts of woman and ethnic minorities voted into office. This is a step in the right direction, but not the leap that the movement needs.

Along with increased PR surrounding the movements and speeches across the globe activists have taken to social media as a weapon of mass destruction. The #BLACK LIVES MATTER slogan has been spreading around the globe with 24 chapters around America the movement has been garnering increased awareness and more supporters.

C. Why should the rest of the world be concerned about this issue?

# data[].attributes.body
The rest of the world should be concerned about this issue because people who are African American are being shot and killed with no remorse and hardly any consequence. Police brutality has prematurely claimed the lives of hundreds of African American people. The travel ban that has been placed on countries in the middle east has separated families and blocked cultural progression. The wall in our border with Mexico has blocked millions of needy refugees from entering our country. We could give them the help they need, with our vast resources. However, we choose not to. All of these factors has created a sense of unease within the African American community and increased profiling of races. Let's say an Asian person pulls over to help someone with car troubles, this is a normal and nice thing to do. However, a police car pulls up and immediately assumes that the Asian person caused an accident. Or if an African American person goes into a convenience store and doesn’t find what he needs, and walks out without buying anything. The store manager or passerby could just assume, based on the African American person not buying anything, that he is stealing.

A study ran by Forbes magazine has showed various job market discriminations of African American and Latino people. It shows that on average White people receive 36 percent more callbacks from employers than an African American person with the same credentials. White people also receive 24 percent more callbacks than a Latino person with the same credentials. The study ran by Forbes also outlines that African American bias in the job market has not gone down in the last 25 years, while Latino bias has gone down a small amount. Even if an African American person does land a job, chances are he or she will be making less money than a white person. Lower income equals less opportunities for your children, and it becomes a vicious cycle of hate and disappointment.
African American people are facing more oppression and racism than ever before, because of our new standards and political leanings. We have unbound racism in our government, and that is pushing the people of America to think that racism is okay. With the arrests that are happening on African American people who are doing everyday things, it creates a sense of fear. This drives African American people to think that they are unequal and they are unable to be normal people in society. This also creates an inferiority complex. This, however, can be a good thing, as it may make African American people work harder, and become more successful.

A. What is the problem and what are the root causes of the problem

# data[].attributes.body
People in America who are African American are being treated badly and are facing many problems that people of a different ethnicity do not face. This is called oppression. African American people have had the police called on them. From getting coffee in a Starbucks to sleeping in a dorm common room to trying to enter your home. This is blatant discrimination and racism because these people obviously think that just because they are African American they should be mistrusted.

The reason that there is racism in America, is because old superstitions and beliefs have been preserved. With groups like the KKK and Neo-Nazis running amok and being on the news, they are spreading their message and getting into the minds of American People like a parasite. Over 40 percent of African American people who answered a poll run by NBC News say that they encounter everyday racism almost every day. The poll also showed that around 4 to 5 out of ten African American people have been treated unfairly in a restaurant or store, because of their race. The poll also showed that over 50 percent of African American people have encountered discrimination in the workplace based on their race.

Another type of discrimination faced by African Americans, and other races is discriminations in the job market and in the educational acceptance rates. And Asian-American applicant to Cornell recently sued the school because she says that she was discriminated against during the admissions process based on her race. This is also a factor for African Americans that plays a huge roll after high-school and into their years of work. An article on the internet shows that African Americans do face bias in the job market, because some people believe that they can not to as good work as people of a different race.
