The discrimination against black people takes place all around the world despite the ruling regime. Are we able to change this situation? – Yes, we are. The democratic regime on the territory of the United States of America makes everyone in the world believe in the existence of democratic principles, moreover, the military forces of the USA tend to spread democracy within other countries. The territory of the United States of America is divided into racial and ethnic districts, there are certain urban districts within big cities suchlike New York, Chicago, where black people are forced to live in a kind of isolation. Despite the principles of democracy, some ethnic minorities suffer from the prejudiced opinions of people of other race, color of skin, ethnic belonging, religious beliefs, and stereotypes. The attention towards the role of white supremacy was drawn in an increased manner.
The acts of discrimination against the black people were fought in order to stop a great number of cases of segregation and humiliation of black people as their rights were secured by the governmental laws, the Constitution of the United States of America, as it is a guarantee for all American people irrespective of the race, color of skin, ethnical belonging, religious beliefs, and stereotypes, that their rights and freedoms will be secured no matter what political regime is in charge of the state, what is the preference of the governing authorities. The rights and freedoms of the American people are stipulated by the first written legislative document, the Constitution of the United States of America. Every citizen of this country has a right to enjoy the rights of life, religious freedom, and support from the country authorities’ representatives. Thus the U.S. constitution must give guarantees to all people that live in America, are its citizens, and enjoy the rights and freedoms stipulated by the Constitution.
Thus we can see that it was not the war against religion or political preferences, but the fight against the color of skin from the point of view of white supremacy, and for the possibility to enjoy the Constitutional rights, such as the right to education, in an equal way with other from the side of oppressed black people. Moreover, I would like to speak about the discrimination in such sphere of our life as education, as children while being at school suffer from the discrimination. Thus, some special schools were set up for black children, where they were isolated from the representatives of other variations of skin colors. The black minority had to receive education on certain bases which were not as high as the ones for children of other skin colors. Children of black parents were sent to separate and inferior schools, but not always they were at least permitted to attend school. But the discrimination appeared not only against black children but against black teachers as well. In his article David Killingray gives a brief outline of the burning issue of modern times:
“From the late nineteenth century onwards the critical eyes of black British individuals and organizations were directed at South Africa. Their strong sentiments were shaped by a common experience of racial discrimination in the colonies, and to a lesser extent in Britain, and for many a firm sense of Christian values and integrity. Both black people in Britain and visiting South Africans could rely to some extent on the support of white liberals belonging to temperance, peace, humanitarian and missionary bodies” (Killingray 1).
So, can we say that now situation concerning the discrimination remains the same as in the late nineteenth century? People with black skin could meet support from people with white skin sharing liberal views. How do liberals support black people nowadays?
Sometimes there appeared cases of discrimination by law, which was considered just traditional discrimination. Another vivid example of discrimination against black people is the prohibition to vote as every citizen of the United States of America, as in the Southern regions of the United States of America black people were not allowed to vote. I can give a vivid example of discrimination of black people, which had the continuation in the court: “In May 2007, Christine Quinn, in an unprecedented and clearly racist act, abused her authority and influence as speaker of the City Council to stop the Black community of Bedford-Stuyvesant from naming four blocks after one of its heroes, Sonny Abubadika Carson” – the attorney Roger Wareham declared, and Plummer vowed, “The fight against the racism and political usurpation of Christine Quinn will continue – in the court, in the political arena, in the streets – until her defeat” (Ajamu 3). Thus we can see that sometimes people are not able to solve their problems in a peaceful manner, so they appeal to the court, which anyway cannot solve the problems, avoiding cases of mutual abuses and humiliation. In this very case, the constitutional right of a black person was infringed.
By the middle of the 21st century, America will no longer have any racial or ethnic majority population, because the necessity of discrimination will be lost, as all people of the world will be the one multinational, multiracial, multireligious family, the members of which will respect each other, respect customs and traditions, cultural and ethnic beliefs, without mentioning about the color of skin and the social background. One day people will reach a mutual agreement, will promise support and help to each other, and will fulfill cooperation to all countries. The importance of cooperation is vitally important as only by means of round table discussion all people can live free, enjoy their rights and freedoms, and not be worried about the future of their families.
