Racism has been a debatable topic throughout
United States history. The first big event that involved afroamerican freedom
was the Civil War, where afroamerican people won their "freedom”. But this
freedom wasn’t total, segregation continuous to exist in the law and people of
the United States. Here is where one man got over all and fought for their
rights, and his name was Martin Luther King. From that moment in the early 60
until now equality in the United States is supposed to be guaranteed, but what
would Martin Luther King have thought about racism now a days, is there a real
freedom? Finally the world he dreamed is real?
Now a day maybe Martin would be proud of
how the country has improve their justice cords and the society in general to become
a more tolerant place. But he would know that it also can be better. It is
right that from the time of Martin Luther King the government and the majority
of the USA citizens had try to change the laws and stereotypes of
afroamericans, and they have succeed, but they are not close to the dream of
King. Racism is still present in the USA and is strong, stereotypes are hard to
change, and some people still have repudiation towards afroamerican, this is
shown with more than 50 parties across the United States that have declared they
are racist. Also this is shown in the salary stats, where afroamericans are the
ones with the lowest average.
