There were three groups that fought to be treated equally as the white man did in society, they were the Mexicans, African Americans, and Native Americans. What happened to America being the “land of the free”? But yet we have different races of people that are treated like trash. And had to do whatever they were told to do by the white man. I know personally racism is still occurring, may not be as much or as bad as it was in the fifty’s and sixty’s but it still going on. I have a two beautiful bi racial children and my family doesn’t accept my kids or myself, because they are half black. For example to everyone, the government is trying to say our President of the United States Barack Obama is WHITE. But yet back in the day he would be considered black. I don’t understand people that are racist. Anyone that was a minority was not aloud to speak up for just wanting to be treated equally and when they did they sometimes got brutally beaten, thrown in jail, and/or lynched. They couldn’t even walk in public with out being messed with just because of their color. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the leaders of these movements, and once said he had a dream of segregation ending, which would mean blacks and whites would go to school together, work together, possible marry each other. And what happened? His dream came true. I hope one day we all can get over racism and all get along. We are all they same, we bleed the same color the only thing is we are different shades. People are very ignorant.
