Reflection 5

The group I chose is the African American community. They have been oppressed since they were brought over by the Europeans as slaves. They were looked at as less because of their skin color. This group has come a long way. They have equal rights such as speech, voting, and everything else a human being should have. They are still oppressed. There is still people who are racist and discriminate against them. There are stereotypes that still follow them. Oppression is prolonged cruel  mistreatment or control. There have been specific people who have fought against the oppression the African Americans have faced like Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks, and many more. If it wasn't for them we may not have had the change we have now. Some white peple are stuck in the ways of the past. They still believe they are superior and treat African Americans like dirt,  but the more the earliest generations are introduced to the equality of others the more the oppression diminishes. According to Pewsocialtrends.com six in ten Americans still believe this country still has a lit of changes to make, so blacks and whites have equal rights. People know that there still as much equality as we want in the world, but it's getting there.
