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.

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.
