Ku Klux Klan African Americans
945 wordsWhen asked the question "Did Reconstruction change the South for African Americans?" I thought long and hard. I realized what a great revolution had taken place for the entire black race, to be coming out of slavery and slowly but surely things were happening. Jobs and juries were full of blacks. But come 1877 the dream was ripped out of many beholders and turned into a nightmare, it seems, for the next century, as racism rampaged once again through the country. Therefore I believe that good cha...

Ku Klux Klan African Americans
1,432 wordsIn the southern states of the USA, the period known as Reconstruction created a pressure and fear and hate for the African Americans among many of the southern white people. This was because the African Americans were now free people and had the same rights as the white people. This angered many white people and they created groups to support their beliefs and to allow people with the same ideas to gather together and share their ideas. This is how the Ku Klux Klan came into existence. The Ku Kl...

Although the reasons for the rise of the Klan vary from source to source, there is one common thread, which is that it rose from fear. The KKK grew as a response to three major changes in the South after the Civil War. Changes to the social, cultural and economic trends put southern whites in fear of being on the same le...

Concentration Camps Considered Racially People
766 wordsMy background is Italian, so that makes me Italian-Canadian. The only time I have personally experienced racism was when I was called a wop. This is how it felt: hurtful, degrading, humiliating. This is what it made me feel like as a person: worthless, inferior, powerless. Is this what goes on in the world? Is it truly fair? That is what my experience made me wonder. People who taunt others, in my opinion, are actually insecure about themselves. It might be because they are uncomfortable with wh...

As Nazi Germany gained control of one country after another in World War II, there was much killing of civilians of soldiers that can be classified as war crimes. These crimes, however, pale in comparison to the massive, deliberate, and well-planned extermination of more than 15 million persons in what is called the Holocaust. This genocide of staggering propor...

To some, that word is the description of a way of life (or part of the genetic code) to others it is a repulsive term that represents closed-mindedness. In my own eyes, there are no Blacks, no Asians, and no Hispanics; there is only one race, and that race is HUMAN.
