The country itself was built on white supremacy and racist individuals so yes America is racist.]]> 2021-05-21 02:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/beckleyp7608/v61920kpwnkyz8g2/wish/1546384832 beckleyp7608 https://padlet.com/beckleyp7608/v61920kpwnkyz8g2/wish/1546395295 The main focus of this article leans towards the statement that America is racist. America's freedom, equality, and any kind of prosperity is in favor of white Americans. Structural racism still lies within our country and ultimately enables the black Americans to move upward in any kind of way.]]> 2021-05-21 02:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/beckleyp7608/v61920kpwnkyz8g2/wish/1546395295 beckleyp7608 https://padlet.com/beckleyp7608/v61920kpwnkyz8g2/wish/1546408309 This article primarily focuses on the history of African-Americans migrating to the "promised land" which we now call America. The amount of mistreatment that was endured by African-Americans did not correlate with the famous "promised land" they were supposed to get. So no we have not reached the promised land even in the past there was still underlying hate towards Black people. ]]> 2021-05-21 02:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/beckleyp7608/v61920kpwnkyz8g2/wish/1546408309 beckleyp7608 https://padlet.com/beckleyp7608/v61920kpwnkyz8g2/wish/1546427037 Racial optimism was widely high in black Americans once Obama was elected, but though there are still many cases of underlying racial pessimism. Although Obama's election into office looked like a win for black people it was a good look for America, giving false hope to black Americans, thinking that they have a chance to make it to the top in a country run my white supremacist. ]]> 2021-05-21 02:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/beckleyp7608/v61920kpwnkyz8g2/wish/1546427037 beckleyp7608 https://padlet.com/beckleyp7608/v61920kpwnkyz8g2/wish/1546448583 The history of America has placed and shaped us to where we are now. Both good and bad have come out of what the history of America holds. In some cases America's history is full heartedly responsible for how it turned out. But then America has to take accountability and make up for their mistakes, we cant continue to blame how the country was set up with our inability to have proper inequality and peace. ]]> 2021-05-21 02:59:18 UTC https://padlet.com/beckleyp7608/v61920kpwnkyz8g2/wish/1546448583 beckleyp7608 https://padlet.com/beckleyp7608/v61920kpwnkyz8g2/wish/1546464389 America has an inability to grow. It is simple as that, accountability is nonexistent in this country and it disrupts the step to moving on. The truth is that this country has made poor choices but disregards them and waters them down in history books and lies to people. The issue is not being bale to handle the dirty truth of what has been done. History is not the problem, being comfortable in a bad spot is the issue with America.]]> 2021-05-21 03:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/beckleyp7608/v61920kpwnkyz8g2/wish/1546464389
