Racial Equality In America
Throughout the history of the country, America has been considered a fairly
racist union. Undoubtedly the greatest injustice in the United States to this
day is the white’s treatment of African-Americans, specifically slavery. The
vast majority of non-black people of that time believed that blacks were not
equal to other races. White Americans of the slavery period specifically held
this view. It was nearly impossible for a black to live free in America, and it
was even more difficult for a black to find a job. As time passed, however, many
people began to change their views on race relations in America. After slavery
was abolished, fewer and fewer people believed that they were supreme over the
African-American race. Not only were blacks free, they were becoming accepted as

they should not be given a reason to feel superior, either. Nobody should be
able to feel superior to another person simply because of race. Everything that
this country has worked for in the last century is compromised by these changes.
Black supremacy seems to be promoted more than racial equality, and racial
equality must be this nation’s goal. Undoubtedly African-Americans have
suffered great hardships in America, however, the country today cannot allow
their past to influence racial equality. Many aspects of society have become
dominated by African-Americans. One reason for this is that there are many
things in the United States today that only African-Americans ca...
