This paper discusses the experiences of Black Americans and racism in the United States. It explores how Black people faced segregation, being denied access to public places and facilities that were for whites only. It compares the treatment of Black people to the treatment of Jews during the Holocaust, as both groups faced lynching and discrimination based on their ethnicity. The paper argues that while it is important to acknowledge the past discrimination and learn from it, Black people must let go of resentment and allow the past to inspire them to continue moving forward successfully.
