Racial Discrimination College Campuses
1,405 words
If there is one thing that the OJ Simpson trial
will be remembered for, it is the racial
polarization felt by all who have an opinion of
the trial. Even though the trial itself was a
farce, it does say something about where we are
today as an American culture. It seems as though
the racial divide is growing ever wider in our
culture. Terms such as African-American or
Irish-American are only helping to expand
separation based on ethnic background. Just the
fact that people insist on being identif...

later, after nightfall on June 20, 1995, the
Macedonia Baptist Church was burned to the ground.

Racial Segregation African Americans

The level of educational attainment and
achievement for my generation to that of my
parents differs greatly. Over the past decades,
large numbers of social movements have altered
society's limitations on an individuals education.
Not knowing my parents, I cannot confirm their
educational backgrounds. However, I can speculate
on the limitations they may have experienced. As
African Americans, it was far less likely to
attain the level of education comparable to today.

When it comes to affirmative action I have mixed
emotions and opinions. Although I hate what
affirmative action does and what it represents I
strongly support its continuance. I hate the fact
that affirmative action defeats the ideal of
awards such as jobs and college admissions going
to those who deserve them. Providing the less
qualified to get the job, while the better
qualified is left in the cold for something that
is not their fault. If all people are created

Racial Propaganda during the Third Reich One of
the most central ideals in Nazi ideology was that
of a continual attack against other races deemed
inferior by Adolf, more specifically Jews. Racial
