The Formation of Race

When creating the divisions the main motivations were greed, fear and money. They quickly realized as the need for labor progressively increased that it would be quite hard to make a large amount of people to work and do things that they didn’t want to do. The white man became very greedy once the money came rolling in, but their problem was they had to have workers to do the jobs that needed to be done. A system was brought about that would affect the African Americans; they would no longer have any rights what so ever. And when this happened it made the white man’s head get real big, they realized they could do anything to the African Americans and get away with it because the blacks had no rights or say so. They began to brutally beat the African Americans and thought maybe that would keep them in line, and most times than others the beatings were in the view of the public for everyone to see. In the white man’s eye all people of another race but white was not human, they were more like either children or creatures. The white men never had any remorse of what they were doing and didn’t give a care about what the minorities thought or felt. When it came to the white man they became greedy with the Native Americans by overpowering them and forcing the Native Americans off/out of their homelands. They came up with the ridiculous laws that now made it illegal to teach, live with, or to fraternize and let alone recognize the races that were considered to be minorities.
