Slaverys is very important in the American society because it has a big impact it takes part in every day society and the things that happen. It also is a big part of history in america and explains why a lot of things are different today.

Slavery still impacts today's society by there being racism. For example, white people think that people of color are bad. There are so many videos, pictures, etc. that make people of color look bad.

I agree with Fernando because bad behaviors our taught. Children aren't born racist. They were taught it's okay to treat people who looked different than them. They were taught that other races were under them and that they were better than everyone else.

The role slavery has played is that it is an important part of our history and a lot of things that we have are because of the enslaved africans that helped pioneer our society.The legacy they left behind is negative and positive, its all how you look at it. I feel like without them America wouldn't be America, especially in regards to the culture that we have here.

Slavery is still important in American society today. An effect that is still present today is the color of our skin and racism. White people think they have power over black people. - Kourtnie Traylor

An effect that slavery still has on today´s society is that some people (white people) grew up thinking that slavery was okay and are teaching the younger generation and influencing them that it is completely fine to be racist towards another person of a different skin color.

The effects of American slavery that is still present today dehumanization and the way that other people look at one another. I think in certain places if there is an African American in a predominantly white, rich neighborhood they are going to look at him some type of and that is not cool he could just be living there. Slavery helped a lot of people because it made them respect their culture much more embrace that they are black or brown due to the history or family behind it.

Slavery still plays a huge role in American society because the idea that colored people are less than still exists.From many saying that colored people are lazy to the people that are supposed to protect us kill us and kill our brothers and sisters. Many harmful stereotypes towards colored people exist mainly because they started to create their own culture and reclaim the harmful words used against them.As well as our history not being taught in many schools and even some school system completely cancelling out the topic form their curriculum or making the bad guys(slave owners,colonizers ect) the hero.

The role that slavery still plays in American society is that it affects us by people being profiled. Racism also affects us to this day and white people think they have more power than the people of color.

the legacy is our ancestors and their trials still live with us today and have somewhat become a thing that defines us as far an African-American race.

An effect that slavery has on today's society is that racist white people believe that every black person or people of color in general are bad people. This leads them to believe that they have more power just because of the color of their skin. They go on to teach their kids these racist beliefs which leads to no societal progress.

It has affected places in the south and in prisons everywhere. African Americans are still being racially profiled and still get treated like animals in prison. There is even some places where you can't get a job because of your skin tone. Another way racism and slavery has affected the government or families is that a lot of African Americans live in bad cities and are often lower class. This is because when slaves were freed they were all dirt poor, they were promised reparations and we still haven't gotten them.

We will learn that American slavery had a profound impact on American culture in many ways.  The way slavery was practiced in the United States impacts our voting laws, our prison system, how we treat each other based on skin color and race and country of origin, where we live, feelings about the right to own guns, immigration and the history of immigration, states rights and the role of government.  Even if someone is not Black or African-American, if they live in the United States they have been directly or indirectly impacted by the legacy of slavery as we will see in the unit.

I think that the role slavery still plays in American society is racism. Although slavery happened many years ago, some people are still racist towards colored people. For example, police are more hostile towards African Americans than they are to Caucasians.

One huge major effect that slavery brings to society to this day is racism, through out all cultures. Slavery has left so many people to teach children, of children of children to lead even a whole family tree to think a man. women of color is/should be beneath them. The legacy of american slavery on individuals is simply negative because it has taught some racist people of no color to think they are above everyone when truly they should be in the same boat.

It effected how we are treated today. Were treated way more equal now than we were than. There are still some colored people who experience racism but its not to bad where it could affect our freedom. Slavery plays a part in how everyone treats us, talk to us, and the words/ vocabulary they use while doing so. Equality is definitely the biggest legacy and impact it has on us be we definitely fought for what we have and deserved every bit of it.

One affect of American Slavery that are still presented today is being juged by your skin color.The way you look or even dressed .

I think some people grew up thinking slavery was okay, so they taught there younger generation that it is okay to be racist as that is what they were taught and that is why we have racist people today.

Effects that are still present today is the color line that makes people (white) feel like they have more power over people of color and more privilege.

I think an effect about the American Slavery that is still present today is racism because when people see other people colored brown or black they assume they are bad people for us with out knowing them. They are just being judged by there color.
