This document discusses the history of racism in the United States. It describes how racism originated with slavery, as black slaves were brought from Africa to work on farms and in factories. After the Civil War ended slavery, racism continued through segregation and discrimination against black citizens. The civil rights movement of the 1960s fought against racism and discrimination. However, racism has not been fully eliminated, as black Americans still face higher rates of poverty, unemployment, incarceration, and lower levels of education compared to white Americans. Eliminating the economic and social inequalities between races is needed to fully end racism in the U.S.
Main points -Patrick Moynihan, The Negro Family (1965) Ashley Hill
This document analyzes Patrick Moynihan's 1965 report "The Negro Family: The Case for National Action". The summary is:
1) Moynihan argued that the deterioration of the African American family structure, particularly the absence of strong father figures, has negatively impacted the African American community and is a key factor in social issues faced.
2) He attributed this in large part to historical discrimination and segregation policies that undermined the role of African American males.
3) Unemployment of African American males has contributed to forcing the community into a matriarchal structure rather than the nuclear family model of other communities.
4) Moynihan calls for a national effort to
The document summarizes key events and developments related to race relations in the United States after the Civil War. It discusses the formation of the Confederate States, the results of the Civil War including the end of slavery, and the continued persecution of African Americans through laws and organizations like the Jim Crow laws, the Ku Klux Klan, and Plessy v. Ferguson decision upholding "separate but equal". It also outlines the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s-60s and its role in advancing racial equality.
Gender Sensitization is priority of present Society.Unless adults change the attitudes toward Gender roles gender equality will not be achieved.These are some statements for understanding and comprehension of the topic gender equity and equality.
The culture of the United States is influenced by Western culture as well as African, Native American, Asian, Polynesian, and Latin American cultures. Some aspects of American culture include informal fashion like blue jeans and cowboy hats and boots; musical styles originating from African Americans like jazz, blues, and rap; literature in the 18th-19th centuries taking cues from Europe; English as the primary language spoken; popular sports like baseball, basketball, football, and hockey; and Christianity being the dominant religion practiced.
The document summarizes various aspects of American culture, including:
The American work culture is both professional and casual, with flexible schedules, an informal atmosphere, and employees treated as equals who are welcomed to share independent views. Blue jeans were popularized as American work clothes and are now worn universally. Television is a major mass media in American households, and the U.S. is considered the homeland of modern network television. American popular music genres like hip hop, jazz, blues, country, and rock have developed in the U.S. and are popular worldwide.
The Civil Rights Movement met some needs of black Americans by ending segregation and securing key legislation, but ultimately failed to achieve full social, economic, and political equality. While groups like the NAACP and CORE successfully challenged segregation laws, and leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. gained important victories, discrimination and inequality persisted. Federal policies provided some support but did little to change racist attitudes. Social and economic conditions remained unequal, as evidenced by northern riots and the Kerner Commission report. As a result, more radical black movements emerged calling for alternative approaches to address the ongoing needs and grievances of black communities.
In September 1906, racial tensions in Atlanta exploded into a violent race riot that lasted four days. White mobs randomly attacked African Americans, pulling people from trolleys and barbershops and killing at least 25 black residents. The violence was spurred by fears of black economic progress, racist rhetoric in local newspapers that reported fabricated stories of black-on-white crimes, and the gubernatorial campaign of Hoke Smith, who promoted segregation. The riot polarized race relations further and led hundreds of African Americans to leave the city.
The document is an autobiographical essay by a white woman exploring what it means to be white in America. She discusses some of the historical successes and cultural contributions of white Americans. However, she also acknowledges that whites have oppressed other races through events like slavery, colonialism and restricting rights of minorities and women. The essay reflects on white privilege today and the need for whites to recognize their role in oppression while also celebrating their own cultural heritage and working towards equality and understanding between all races.

Barack Obama became the first black president of the United States after winning the 2008 election against John McCain. Some key facts about Obama's victory include that he is the first black president and was quite young and inexperienced. He won on November 5th but did not officially take office until January 20, 2009. The document also provides background information on important events and figures in the history of black civil rights in America, such as the Emancipation Proclamation, Jackie Robinson, Martin Luther King Jr., and the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
- Native Americans have faced oppression and discrimination throughout history and continuing into modern times. They have occupied lands like Mount Rushmore to protest the treatment of their people and broken treaties.
- Poverty is a major issue facing many Native American communities today. Their average life expectancy is 20 years less than other Americans, due in part to lack of access to adequate medical care and higher rates of health issues.
- Health programs for Native Americans remain underfunded. Many have experienced discrimination at doctors' offices despite having health insurance. Addressing the systemic causes of poverty and improving access to care are needed to achieve greater justice for Native American peoples.

This document examines young Latinos ages 16 to 25 in the United States. While data shows they are generally optimistic about their futures, they also face challenges such as higher rates of dropping out of school and teenage pregnancy than other youth. Additionally, they have greater exposure to poverty and gangs. The modern wave of Latin American immigration to the U.S. is unprecedented in size, comprising about half of all immigrants since 1965. However, illegal immigration has become a politically contentious issue, and there is some doubt that today's young Hispanic immigrants will achieve the same upward mobility as previous European immigrant groups.
Reconstruction in the South following the Civil War was a contentious period with competing plans over how to rebuild the former Confederate states. There were debates over granting rights to freed slaves, punishing Confederate leaders, and reintegrating the South into the Union. President Lincoln favored a lenient 10% plan for readmitting states, but he was assassinated in 1865. His successor, Andrew Johnson, took a harsher stance against the South. This led to conflicts with Radical Republicans in Congress who passed their own reconstruction plans over Johnson's veto. Reconstruction ultimately ended in 1877 after a compromise resolved a disputed presidential election. However, the end of federal oversight allowed Southern states to impose Jim Crow laws and disenfranchise black voters.
The document argues that racism still exists in the United States today, but may present itself in more subtle ways. It claims that two of the biggest threats facing black communities are abortion and lack of access to quality education. The document provides statistics showing black women have higher abortion rates and black students often receive poorer quality education and face harsher discipline than white students. The author argues this shows racism is still hindering the success of black communities, even if it is not as overt as in the past.

The document discusses the Great Migration of African Americans from 1910-1930. Over 1.75 million black people migrated from the southern states to the Midwest, Northwest, and western parts of the country to escape racism and find work in industrial cities. Racial tensions increased as the black population grew at 40% while competing for jobs and housing with white immigrants. Though discrimination continued, the migration opened more opportunities for work, education, and voting that helped black communities develop while reducing differences between racial groups over time.
American and Italian women have made significant advances in the workplace over the 20th century. In the early 1900s, women in both countries mainly worked in agriculture or factories under difficult conditions. World War I opened more jobs to women as men left for war. While rights expanded in the following decades, discrimination remained. The 1960s onward saw further legal protections and norms changing to promote greater equality and opportunities for women in both the US and Italy.
African People’s Socialist Party 14-Point Platform Study-GuideRBG Communiversity
The document provides an overview of the 14-Point Platform of the African People's Socialist Party, which was adopted in 1981. It states that studying the 14 points equips members to understand the Party's theory of African Internationalism and take action to liberate Africa and African people everywhere. The 14 points are considered the basic political education course for understanding the Party's ideology and practice. The document urges members to memorize and internalize the 14 points and use them daily in organizing Africans to liberate Africa and their people.
The document discusses the Great Depression and its global impacts in the 1930s. It notes that over 11,000 banks failed in the US between 1929-1933, unemployment rose to 15-30% worldwide, and economies were affected across the globe. Some countries were able to reduce unemployment more quickly than others by taking control, though they also destroyed democracy. The document also discusses the rights movements that emerged in the US and South Africa in the 1960s to combat racial segregation and white supremacy, as well as the new feminism movements that arose in the US and UK during that same time period to advocate for women's rights.
Social work has traditionally been dominated by women both as clients and practitioners. Gender and sexuality influence how social issues are experienced. While progress has been made towards equality, inequality persists in areas like pay, superannuation, and opportunities. Violence disproportionately impacts women and girls. Social movements have advocated for women's rights and LGBTQ+ equality through several waves. Key legislation promotes nondiscrimination, though ongoing challenges remain around issues like poverty, leadership, and violence against women.
American and Italian women have made significant advances in the workplace over the 20th century. In the early 1900s, women in both countries mainly worked in agriculture or factories under difficult conditions. By the mid-20th century, many women gained employment in factories during World War II, though faced discrimination returning to the workforce post-war. Today, women in both countries have achieved greater equality and representation in the workplace and government, holding high-level positions, though barriers still remain.
The document provides an overview of social history related to women and African Americans in the United States from the colonial period through the mid-20th century. It discusses the roles of women and treatment of slaves and African Americans over time, including changes post-Revolution, during Reconstruction, and through the Civil Rights movement. Key events and figures related to the fight for women's rights and racial equality are also mentioned.
Feminism seeks equal rights for women. It began as a movement in the 19th century for women's suffrage and rights to education and work. The history includes four waves - first wave feminism in the 19th century focused on suffrage, second wave feminism from the 1960s focused on inequality, third wave feminism from the 1990s challenged prior definitions of femininity, and a potential fourth wave could address current issues. Anti-feminism opposes feminism and its ideas about patriarchy and women's disadvantages in society.
In this presentation you will learn what white privilege is, how it affects politics and the economics, explore if it is specifically an American problem, and ways to combat it.

The document summarizes the impact of the Great Depression on African Americans. It describes how African Americans were disproportionately affected by unemployment, which rose above 50% in northern cities. As opportunities declined, migration to cities continued, intensifying poverty in urban black communities. Racism further compounded issues, as white workers and unions tried to replace black workers. The Republican administration of Herbert Hoover did little to relieve the suffering of the poor and destitute.

The Racism in USA
Abstract: This assignment discusses about the racism and how can it be eliminated.
Keywords: race, racism, slavery, african-american, society, economy, USA, civil rights
Racism is one of the challangeable subject in the political system around the World. USA has a great
history about that since 1776. This essay explains about that and of course the review of history of racism
in USA.
Racism is a politic term and has a negative effects in the today society. This action had been held in some
society such as USA, Germany, Iran, Italy, and South Africa. In general, racism means the white influnces
to the black people, and has been routed from race, means ethnicity and nationality. During the human
history, many of the goverments had performed the racism againt the minority of society. For instance, in
Germany, Adolf Hitler is a Nazy leader during 1930-1945 and had executed the holocaust againt the jewish.
In South Africa, Nelson Mandela had fought over the apartheid system. Stalin in Russia and Mosilini in
Italy are the two famous leaders in the racism and nationalism over the 1900s history.
In USA, racism has a long time history since the black community entries from Africa to America.
According to history, vast majority of the black peolpe had been moved on the slavery cases. Be cause the
british goverments had needed to the salves and labers for farming and working in the office and home.
Slaves had worked in the hard conditions without getting the income or the sufficient salary. During 1800s,
much more black people was lived in the south-east of USA in the farmland. After the industry revolution,
the black workers had moved to the north-east of USA from Boston to Chicago. The reason is working
in the factories and industrial buildings such as textile and steel factories. The civil war during 1860s was
founded by the slavery case. During this period, South part had fought over the North part for the ending
the salvery. But the south part had lost and the slavery case had been ended according to the US laws and
legislations. However, the slavery had been continued at the some part of US during 1900s. The most im-
portant fact in this case would be racism and discrimination between white and black races. Anyhow, civil
rights movement is a next period time in the african-american activation same as 1960s and 1970s.
2. In general, the white people had performed the racism against over the black people, be cause these be-
lieved that the african people almost always been slave and must work under the hard condition. Whereas,
black people never ever agree with this belief. Thus, there were many conflicts between white and black
people during US history. For instance, Martin-luther-king-Jr. was a african-american civil rights move-
ment leader againts the discrimination during 1960s. He believed that the black and white are equal and
discrimination must be ended. Of course many african-american people has tried in this case, until Obama
has selected on the president of US, who is the first african-american US president during the history.
Whats happening now? The racism be eliminated? there are many facts and figures for this situation, but
which one is right and which one is wrong? By now, I think that the racism are eliminated, be cause:
There is not the discrimination between white and black in US. There is not the slavery in the farmlands of
Louisiana and Florida. There is not the segregation in the Chicago and Detroit. There is the legal marriage
between black and white in US. There is the freedom of religion and speech in US.
By the way, the african-american condition is not good. Still, vast majority of black people are living
under the poor line. 10% of them are felonist. 12% of them are living under crime condition. 50% of them
are consuming some drugs. of course 20% of the black people are unemployment. The reason of that is
many, but the most important cause of this situation is education. According to some records, vast majority
of them are uneducated or poor-level educated. For example, Detroit has a big african-american commu-
nity under crimes, because there is no job, and there is no money on there. Of course the economic crisis
2009-present is one fact. I believe that the economy affects to the purchasing power and then crime. Thus,
many black people have no job and no money; therefore several of them have jointed to Mafia or some
gangs. In the case of Detroit, General Motors have closed several the automobile factories in Michigan and
then many african-american people are unemployed. Therefore, the landscape of this city is unbelievable.
Many residental house are abandoned and many store are closed.
In fact, racism can be eliminated by the end of discrimination and segregation. Otherwise, racism can
not be eliminated; be cause the economic and social environment of the african-american people seems to
be poor. Even thought, the condition of white people is much more better. Comparing the education and
wealth rate of USA is demonstrating that the black and white condition is not equal.
In conclusion, vast majority of the black people had tried to elimination of racism; but still there are
some facts and figures regrads to the racism around the World such as some segregational schools and
stores.
