Gun law:
You can buy guns when you are 21 years old, but you can buy gun ammunition when you are 18 years old. There are som few conditions to obtain a gun. The majority of us citizens are allowed to buy and keep firearms without restriction. There are some people in U.S that can't buy guns. You can't buy a gun if you are mentally unstable, if you have done a crime within a year after you get outta jail. Every gun dealer i America has to do a background check on you before you can buy a gun. USA has the highest homicide-by-firearm rate among the world’s most developed nations. In most of the states you have to get a permit to carry a weapon, but you have to conceal the weapon no matter what, because you can't go around and scare and threaten people.

Banned Kinder Eggs:
Kinder eggs are banned in the us, because there are small toys inside and children under 3 can take damage, they could eat it or the small parts of toys could get stuck in their nose throat or ear.

Drive through:
It's no suprise that in America there, because they don't like to wait, they like their fast food "fast".

"Hey, How are you?":
is it a question or is it a greeting. in America it's a greeting but in all other countries we don't know if it's a question or not, so we answer the "question" with something there is longer than "i'm fine thank you, how about you" that is the real answer.

Teen pregnancy:
3 in 10 teen American girls will get pregnant at least once before age 20. That's around 750,000 teen pregnancies every year. This is also the reason the most teenage girls drop out of school.

In 1619 the first african slave arrived at USA and thats where it all started.
Slavery ended in 1865, but still in some eyes afros was seen as slaves. They got all the hard working jobs for a one figured salary and they lived in the poor neighborhood.
When the civil rights act came up in 1964 and the discrimination was "official " over, but in the streets there is still some problem on the racial area.

THE POLITICAL SYSTEM

frida_malmberg_fox_maule — 2019-08-05 11:19:27 UTC

Mandate system at president election:
how to get Mandates:
each state gives a certain amount of mandates, the most populated states has the highest number of mandates.
So its not about getting the highest voting percent all over America, it´s about getting the highest voting percent in the most populated states.
let's say that you've got 60 percent of all the votes in America, in the election. But you've got 30 small states and your opponent only has 37 percent of all the votes in America, but she got 15 of the most populated states, that means she eventually got more mandates than you, even though you had the highest voting percent.

Corruption:
The Congress would make corruption their top priority, if it's spotted. The latest research also found out that "corruption in Washington" has been rated as the very important or important priority "issue for candidates. 77 percent of voters thought it was the most important or important thing to get rid of. The most important issue is that politics is ruined, then the voters priorities are not going to matter because the people in the Congress is corrupted.

The structure of the U.S government
the government is divided into three branches

Legislative they Make the laws (that's the Congress)

Executive – Carries out laws (President, Vice President and the Cabinet)

Judicial Evaluates laws (Supreme Court and other courts)

The legislative Branch can enact the legislation, confirms or rejects Presidential appointments, and have the authority to declare war.

The executive branch carries out and enforces laws. It includes the President, Vice President and other peoples

The judicial branch interprets the meaning of laws, applies laws to individual cases, and decides if laws violate the Constitution. It's comprised of the Supreme Court and other federal courts.

SCHOOL SHOOTINGS AND WEAPONS

frida_malmberg_fox_maule — 2019-08-05 11:19:40 UTC

school shooting is when a person or a group, desides to rush in at a school and just shoot and kill everyne. Mostly because, they have a mental illness or they just want to hurt people.

Cho Seung-Hui shot and killed 32 people from the university, after which he killed himself. It maked it the worst school shooting and with most sacrifises ever, in the USA

RICH AND POOR

frida_malmberg_fox_maule — 2019-08-05 11:19:55 UTC

USA is where you can get your dream come true.
The actor, singing, the drug market, sports and technology business is where the highest paid jobs are.
If you don´t have any job relation to these jobs, then you are probably a one figured hour job guy or girl, and you probably have a problem with supporting you and your family. Then you are most likely to live one of those really bad neighbourhoods, if you want to survive on your salary. that's called a ghetto, it's not that expensive to live in the ghetto, but people always desire more and if they can't afford it they usually steal it, steal money or get in some kind of criminal gang where they can get the money faster. it's usually connected to the mafia and after working there it's pretty hard to get a normal job, because people don't like to hire anyone there has been in jail or done something illegal.
If you work in a legal business with a lot money involved then you are probably in the over-class, in America the over-class has more importance then the lower-class, because people with money buy expensive things and that makes other people richer. The over-class could invest in some new invention and if that invention is a success, both sides gets rich, maybe the invention was expensive and also useful, so many people decided to buy it. That equals more money. while the lower-class is in most cases stuck in a evil circle.

The russians:
about the time of the assassination, the russians and the american had just been in the cold war, and were enemies. The russians therefore, as a conspiracy theory, wasn't in a good place with USA, at that point. So the russians wanted to get revence on USA, so they paid a sniper to kill John F. Kennedy, for revence.

frida_malmberg_fox_maule — 2019-08-28 10:34:30 UTC

What happend at Waco Siege? The people living in Waco believed in the second coming of jesus and the day of judgement would come. God will punish the ones would would'nt believe, in what the others did. Like, would'nt follow David Range. They isolated themself from the world and made a living on their own. David Koresh clamed himself a profit and while that was happening, he collected guns, in case of an apocalypse would come.

Giving hope to the afros citizens.
Keep being non-violent, be patient we will reach our goal.

SECOND AMENDMENT

frida_malmberg_fox_maule — 2019-09-01 19:19:51 UTC

The right to bear arms.
In the second amendment it says that every American citizen have the to have a gun, so that you can protect yourself.
The problem with the gun law is that kids, teenagers and criminals can get in touch with a gun very easy. If the wrong person get a gun you can imagine what would happen. We can see that school shooting is a big thing in America and how does these kids get uzis and semii-auto weapons? Maybe they had fake ID's, maybe they bought the weapons from the mob or illegal or they stole their parents weapon.

let it be guys

THIS IS AMERICA

farooq_aamer — 2019-10-23 10:37:48 UTC

The song made by Gambino is just a song quote "i just wanted to make a good song, and i did" but the song have so many messages. its showing what America actually is like and not what the media is saying.
in the song, Gambino is America and the people behind him is the black people, not obeying the rules and thats one of the reasons why black people get treated as they do.

AMISTAD

frida_malmberg_fox_maule — 2019-10-23 10:40:13 UTC

Along the coast, america-british and US ships patrolled for illegal slave traders. A slave ban treaty would be seized, if found. The punishment for the crew would be death. Most af the slaves were kipnapped and brought to the United States to work. Places like South Carolina, were a typical place to bring in the slaves, to work. The treatment against the africans were very unacceptibel on the ship, both the adults and the kids would be chained together. In the following night, the africans would take control on board and it ended in a bloody revolt on board. They were just shackled together on the Amistad or Mindi. In Spain and portugal they agreed to end the slavery of the native americans - the natives. Sinka - an african slave - survived on a portuguese slaver (a kind of slave ship) "the Tecora". The ships were build to accomodate as many as possible. Accually most of the decks were only about 4 feet and only allowed them to squat. The ships were filled with lice, fleas and rats. To make sure there was enough food for everyone, the crew would throw some of the slaves overboard. Also a lots of them were dumped in the ocean, in order to prevent their direction. The price for each slave were 450 dollars - wich is 3.055 danish crones. After Sinka completed his middle passage on the ship "Tecora", Sinka was hustled along with the other Africans and locked into a holding pen, along the "Havana Habor". There they were fattend up, cleaned and then brought to the slave market in Havana - so they could be sold. Sinka was worned and along with the other Africans, they decided to establish a leader, in order to lead them to escape - also to organize the escape. For that job, Sinka was choosen. With help from a broken nail, he used it to lock up the chain. As soon he was free, he immediatly released his friend Grabble as the first thing. Both Sinka and Grabble - believing they would die anyway - fought for their freedom.
Lloyd's of London was a major participant in the industry of insurence, for covering revolts and rebellions for instance. Two days after the Amistad, New London reached after judge "Andrew T. Judson" to conduct a hearing on Washington, the Amistad Stadu. But unfortunate had Judge Judson a reputation of being racist. Bwight P. Jawned, he overheard Ruiz and Montes admitting, that there had been broken some of the slave trading laws. Dwight wrote a letter to Roger Shermann Baldwin about the situation and Jaynes sended ad copy of the letter to Joshua Lewitt, a New York abolitionist and the editor of the "Emancipator" - Emancipator was the official paper of the american anti-slavery society. Lewitt turned to Lewis Tappan and showed him the letter. Lewis Tappan were a wealthy New York City merchant and devoted abolitionist.

HARRIET TUBMAN

frida_malmberg_fox_maule — 2019-10-30 11:44:07 UTC

Harriet Tubman was born as Araminta Ross, but she changed her name later on. Harriet Tubman is very known for her slave releases. That meant she helped slaves escape from their plantation and to get their freedom in the north. Harriet started her life as a slave, but she wasn't an ordinary female slave. She was better at the normal "man work". She was a good slave/good working power. One day she asked her man if he would run away with her but he wouldn't take the risk. Then she asked her brothers if they wanted to run away with her, they were down for it. They ran but while they were running the boys got second thoughts and they dragged

WHEN THEY SEE US

kz6kocc7tl — 2019-11-20 11:29:18 UTC

Central park five:
On a spring day in 1989, Trishia Meili got raped in Central Park. While she is getting sexual abused, a lot of boys mostly afros ran around in the park and steering up trouble. the police couldn't find the right murder/raper. so they just mad up a story about 5 boys doing the crime. None of the boys was guilty. The police manipulated all the boys into telling a story that wasn't true. All the boys were found guilty. In the court all could see that the boys wasn't guilty, but the police would just lie their ass off and win the case. 5 boys lost their whole youth and spend 5-13 years in jail. Matias Reyes confessed about 12 years after the incident happened. The 5 men Yusef, Antron, Kevin, Raymond and Korey got 41 million dollars in replacement from the state, but they had to split them between them. Some of the men still has some mental scars after this horribly wrong punishment the men got after the incident.

IN THE GHETTO

frida_malmberg_fox_maule — 2019-11-20 11:36:16 UTC

The song is sung by Elvis Presley. Discrimination against social haritage. the song tells about a life of a young boy, born in the ghetto. Due to the social heritage, he destined to live in poverty. The american government, is very harsh on the poor peolpe. They don't follow the same procedures, as we do in Denmark. We seem to give the poor people money, if they ever are in need and feels the worst.
He says "Are we blind to see, or do we just turn our heads and look the other way".
