I am a direct representation of the black community, being born in South Central Los Angeles raised in Compton, CA I’ve closely seen and had to go through inequality and being disadvantaged. ]]> 2020-09-13 01:34:15 UTC https://padlet.com/diamantedanielstech/m4fxraza8pofrtwp/wish/741385461 diamantedanielstech https://padlet.com/diamantedanielstech/m4fxraza8pofrtwp/wish/741428667 2020-09-13 03:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/diamantedanielstech/m4fxraza8pofrtwp/wish/741428667 diamantedanielstech https://padlet.com/diamantedanielstech/m4fxraza8pofrtwp/wish/741430874 Going to an under-resourced elementary, middle, and high school I hated the curriculum learning nothing but lies, going on field trips and seeing the other schools nice buildings, or going on field trips to nice areas and seeing the faces people made when they see me and my friends, I realized quickly that my community wasn’t set up to succeed and that we weren’t viewed the same. It’s no question about the wide variety of injustices we have had to go through even before 1619. I bet to this day you can’t go on google and look at a single "PICTURE" of a lynching or a slave naked back without being sick to your stomach.

Because of our skin color we were not even considered fully human back in those times, we merely called 3/5^th. Fast forward to today and you see crazy mass incarceration, police brutality, and we still have racist politicians. Sadly our world is evil and run by the elite but we are fighting for better treatment, we are using this time to make a change and we aren’t stopping until we see it.]]> 2020-09-13 03:09:58 UTC https://padlet.com/diamantedanielstech/m4fxraza8pofrtwp/wish/741431219 diamantedanielstech https://padlet.com/diamantedanielstech/m4fxraza8pofrtwp/wish/834720293 When you compare The Chinese Exclusion act, The Manzanar Japanese Internment Camps, and The Repatriation of Mexican-Immigrants and Mexican Americans there are many similarities. Of course, there are also differences, but there are so many similarities in these events that it became a pattern. Each of these acts happened after events that America did not know how to approach like how The Repatriation of Mexican-Immigrants and Mexican Americans happened after The Great Depression. America becomes so paranoid and afraid that the first thing they usually do is attack and blame minorities to save themselves.  Each of these events aimed to “Protect” America and the American people by getting rid of minorities to open up more opportunities. The only reason these exclusions are not in place currently is because America has learned to better profit off people of color. In our world today our exclusions of minorities are still so obvious they are just disguised with active organizations like Ice.
