However, that doesn't mean that we should be complacent. There is still discrimination ingrained into our culture, as evidenced by the disproportionately segregated schools and neighbourhoods, and therefore still present in the system, which can only be addressed through united and constant political will from both the citizens and legislators. Given the current climate in the United States and everywhere else, now is more crucial than ever to sustain this fight for equality.]]> 2020-08-12 02:32:41 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676608470 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676608938 2020-08-12 02:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676608938 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676609330 Kendrick, according to one of the videos, came across these two important figures in black history and was influenced. He had become aware of the injustices in the past, making the current injustices more noticeable to him. His awareness of history and the present heavily influenced the way he chose to live, and write. ]]> 2020-08-12 02:33:47 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676609330 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676609389 I believe that The Great Migration  had a negative impact on Black American's social mobility. At first, it may seem as if it had a positive impact on them because they had the ability to move out of the South and buy property instead of being property themselves. Due to Redlining and very racist policies created by the US governments, Black Americans were not given sufficient home loans, hindering them from acquiring property. This affects their social mobility because they are not able to acquire property, and are charged much more for rent/bills than white Americans.]]> 2020-08-12 02:33:52 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676609389 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676609970 The Great Migration had a negative impact on Black American's social mobility, due to the once prospering white neighborhoods now has become stricken with poverty. Black American's could not afford housing or anything really since in a black neighborhood its very hard to acquire loans and the banks will charge you more due to the color of your skin.

Education is undoubtedly one of the most important factors of one's upbringing, and without it a lot of the innovations and technology of today would cease to exist. Given the situation the blacks were in, (segregated schools), the government failed to provide adaquate educational resources for black schools, which is why a lot of black were unable to climb up the social ladder that the whites had set up for them. Without proper education, they could not get a proper job, and without a proper job, they could not get proper income, thus the horrible social system they were stuck in for a long time.]]> 2020-08-12 02:34:55 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610192 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610261 As I learned from the video, limited residential opportunities led to limited social mobility of black Americans. Adam discusses a term called redlining which is when a neighborhood is divided into a red and a green side. The green side had a more developed infrastructure with more schools and better economic opportunities while the red side, which had the minorities such as black Americans, were given restrictions and were segregated that led to less opportunities to prosper economically. They forever remained in poverty. Because of these restrictions, black Americans had less opportunities overall when it came to education or jobs, and thus could not thrive in life.]]> 2020-08-12 02:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610261 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610277 The civil rights movement was able to be successful only to the extent that it established very basic or bare minimum foundations for laws to have anti-discrimination with housing, voting and as a framework for the future. The movement however was not able to eradicate or overcome or even let the government address the systemic racism present which let the grassroots of African-American poverty stay in place. The movement caused a large nuanced divide between Caucasian-Americans and African-Americans as they both felt more increasingly aware and thus increasingly fearful of each other which gave Caucasians more determination to initiate more anti-Black economic policies. Moreover, the government even after enacting basic equality law, chose to place bias (in the background of the law system) towards Caucasian-Americans buy giving them more leeway to benefit and feed off of the economy. ]]> 2020-08-12 02:34:59 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610277 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610302 I believe the main factor behind the limited social mobility of black Americans is the limited educational opportunities. The lack of educational opportunities prevents the new generation from properly developing. They will be sub-par when it comes to academic intelligence, which then prevents them from going to a great college and from getting a high earning job. 

Without a proper education, their job choices are limited. Without high earnings, limited residential opportunities follow, along with limited education for the following generation, and the cycle repeats.]]> 2020-08-12 02:35:01 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610302 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610348 The Civil Rights movement was successful to the extent that much of American systemic racism, like outright segregation, was stopped, but it wasn't able to completely eradicate racism and its long-lasting effects. Now, segregation has become less of a problem then before. However, societal racism is still a major problem, whether done intentionally or not. Redlining in suburbs has caused a disproportionate majority of inhabitants in nice American suburbs to be white. It is very possible that a lot of real estate people aren't blatantly racist; however, previous ones who were lead to the current situation. The shadow of racism in the 60s exists until today, and it is becoming increasingly hard for all Americans to finally embrace their past.]]> 2020-08-12 02:35:04 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610348 ajluy22 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610385 As we see the effect of limited residential opportunities which effect, the other factors such as job opportunities as well as the access to good education depending of the development as well as residence in the area. But not just that as limited residential opportunities harms the ability for African Americans to pass down wealth as property allows individual to build up wealth and assimilate, since no new property is being made as well as the demand keeps growing but the limited residential opportunities harms the property as the situation in the area.]]> 2020-08-12 02:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610385 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610505 The civil right movement was successful to the fact it created reform to stop discriminatory laws towards minorities. However, the civil right movement cannot completely eradicate the history of racism and discriminatory laws in the country that was present for several centuries. This leads to systemic racism to be prevalent within the nation, wherein it created a huge disparity of opportunities between the caucasians and the African Americans. The continuous neglect of those in power towards the black community catalyzed crime and violence to be rampant in the projects.  ]]> 2020-08-12 02:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610505 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610530 I think the event in AA history that most directly affected Kendrick was the red-lining policy made by the US government. This policy created black-only neighbourhoods that had low income flows, providing a vacuum for gangs and drugs to proliferate.]]> 2020-08-12 02:35:15 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610530 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610589 The main factor behind the limited social mobility is limited residential opportunities because a person's residential area determines what kind of job/educational opportunities as seen in the red lining. The area where the whites lived in had better equipped schools and more job opportunities as they were granted house loans as compared to the black residential area. ]]> 2020-08-12 02:35:20 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610589 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610644 In my opinion, the main factor behind the limited mobility of black Americans would be the limited educational opportunities.  The lack of this opportunity prevents them from getting into good colleges and jobs considering the SAT system which will hinder them from getting good job opportunities. This further limits their social mobility and their chance of moving to a higher social class.]]> 2020-08-12 02:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610644 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610679 C

due to the limited educational opportunities given to the black americans, it causes them to have limited jobs and thus causing them to have less income. After this it just becomes a downward spiral for them as they are immobilized by their income which is causing them to not become successful in life.]]> 2020-08-12 02:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610679 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610749 B 
I think it's the limited residential opportunities that limited social mobility of black Americans. This is because they are mainly experiencing poverty due to the red lining that the government implemented.]]> 2020-08-12 02:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610749 smssyquia22 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610801 I believe that the limited social mobility of black Americans are  due to limited residential opportunities, which is called redlining. This gave families less opportunities and services like home loans to those who lived in the "red" areas. Based on the videos, this caused limited them educational opportunities due to racism. In the same train of thought, quality education is what leads to individuals also grants them more job opportunities. On top of these, the mere racism brought about by this lessens the opportunities and resources that are allocated. The cycle then repeats and residential segregation is the mother of most of the other limitations towards blacks' social mobility.]]> 2020-08-12 02:35:36 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610801 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610809 The Civil Rights movement was successful the way that blacks got the very basic rights that were restricted/removed from them only because of their race. The Civil Rights Act (1964), Voting Rights Act (1965), and Fair Housing Act (1968) all gave blacks the rights they deserved as people.  However, the Civil Rights Movement could not stop the damaging effects of the practices done before the movement, such as redlining. Due to this, even with the Civil Rights movement, disparities/inequalities still remain between races]]> 2020-08-12 02:35:37 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610809 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610884 Personally, I think the Great Migration had a negative impact on America's Black social mobility because they were not able treated fairly as the Whites. They received worse rates than Whites and couldn't really afford anything in the White neighbourhoods. Whites still looked down on the Black community and still saw them as slaves.

A good education results in a good income according to Vox. However, not all African-Americans can afford a good education due to financial reasons. They are in poverty because of the red-lining that happened. And because the they can't get a good education, they get low income jobs and the cycle continues.]]> 2020-08-12 02:35:43 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610885 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610886 The mobilisation of millions of African Americans generated higher race-related crimes, increased population density which correlates to racially-bordered communities. Much of its negative effects stemmed from the very racist policies implemented by the American government that privileged white urban settlers and fabricated unfair housing schemes for the millions of migrants.]]> 2020-08-12 02:35:43 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676610886 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676611145 I believe that the main factor behind the limited social mobility of black Americans has to be the limitations of residential opportunities. This is because back then there was severe segregation between white and black people wherein white people where able to apply for loans and have the ability to buy properties easier. Black Americans on the other side, did not get any benefits and were left in poverty. Services like education are also funded by property tax and since black communities were not making much money compared to white communities their schools also became underfunded including other public services too. These factors have significantly affected the social mobility of African Americans and other minorities ]]> 2020-08-12 02:36:01 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676611145 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676611152 The civil rights movement was able to create some new changes that did eradicate some barriers inequality created but it was not able to successfully eradicate inequality.]]> 2020-08-12 02:36:01 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676611152 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676611366 I think that the Civil Rights movement was successful in the fight against inequality in the way that it was able to afford right for African-American people that they previously did not have and they were treated more equally than from before. However, there is still inequality that exists between races when there should be none, minorities are often treated badly by police and by employers and fellow peers. While it is true that the inequality isn't as bad where they weren't even treated like humans, they are still being treated like second-class citizens because of prejudices and wrong assumptions about these people because of the color of their skin]]> 2020-08-12 02:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676611366 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676611514 I believe the main factor behind the limited social mobility of black Americans is letter (C) Limited Educational Opportunity. Due to the black American neighborhoods having less income as compared to white neighborhoods, the schools and educational quality in black neighborhoods are also worse compared to the education of the white Americans. Due to poor education, black people will also have less job opportunities as they have poorer education compared to others. ]]> 2020-08-12 02:36:29 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676611514 sfmtan22 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676611676 I think its due to the still lasting influencing social cultural norms of the past which caused the lack of  resources and opportunities to the many communities which has limited progress and growth in some of the African-American communities.]]> 2020-08-12 02:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676611676 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676611709 I think the Compton and Crime part of the African-American history influenced Kendrick Lamar and his music the most because he was from there, so he went through those experiences like the all the segregation and migration that led to Compton becoming a African-America middle class while Whites left due to fear of racism and depreciation of prices of the land due to Blacks moving in gradually, so they went through poverty and under-resourced schools, resulting in gang violence and drugs entering that city, making it whatever it has become today.]]> 2020-08-12 02:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676611709 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676613201 For me I think the great migration  had a negative impact on Black Americans social mobility.

Compton, according to American history, used to be a white neighborhood and redlined. Later when the redlining got loose and rid of, waves of African American and Latinos migrated to this place.

As seen in the video of Adam, residential opportunities and locations determine a lot of factors in an interconnected change. With locations in the lower-class areas, the schools will also be underfunded and thus a lower quality of education will be borne. It will then lead to directly affect college options, and thus most who go to lower quality education for highschool/gradeschool will end up in a lower tier college. Career opportunities will thus pay less and be fewer as opposed to going to a top tier college, and will determine career earnings. Thus, it will be more difficult to go up a social class as their career and social class are impeded by their college choice (which is caused by their residential opportunity). It is a chain that will continue on for generations]]> 2020-08-12 02:40:12 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676614625 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676615610 I think it was very successful in fighting inequality as the Blacks stood up for themselves and for their freedom, giving them "better" lives than before.]]> 2020-08-12 02:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676615610 https://padlet.com/reginadregala/u7l4p7prw0semutr/wish/676617106 I believe the main factor is (C) Limited Educational Opportunities, because there is a huge gap between the funding of education in black areas and in white ares.
