Racial Discrimination:
The Immigration Changes:
More black people also moved to West Virginia after the civil war. After the 1900 most immigrants came from Southern and Eastern Europe: Italy, Spain, Hungary, Poland, Austria, and etc. Separating the Races: Racial segregation became a way of life during reconstruction. Jim Crow Laws were passed to make facilities such as restrooms, water fountains, railroad cars, waiting rooms, and etc. Plessy V. Ferguson: U.S. Supreme Court decided in Plessy V. Ferguson made separation the law of land. The case involved Holmer Plessy, who sat down in the "white's only" section of a railroad car in Louisiana. Plessy, who was only 1/8 black refused to give up his seat and was arrested. Plessy staged the incident to test the constitutionality of a 1890s Law. When the Supreme Court upheld the law, it gave states the right to control social discrimination and to promote segregation of the races. A Difference of Opinion: The gap also grew between blacks and white. The gap also grew between blacks and blacks. Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Dubois, prominent black leaders, provided and different point of views. |
Two Views:
W.E.B. DuBois liked a protest against all racial injustice and supported an end of discrimination called for the recognition of a human brotherhood. Booker T Washington emphasized vocational education. Cultivated good work habits, morals, and cooperation.
Affermitive Action:
Affirmative action, in the United States, programs to overcome the effects of past societal discrimination by allocating jobs and resources to members of specific groups, such as minorities and women.
Age Discrimination:
Children and teenagers are routinely subject to age discrimination as the law dictates that they have to attend school, while also not being able to vote, drink alcohol or work. Older people are also discriminated against because of their age, even though they often enjoy reduced taxes, discounts on drugs, admission fees and tickets.
Racial Profiling:
Racial profiling refers to law enforcement officers or agencies where a key factor in whether to take action, such as making a stop or arrest, is mainly based on race, ethnicity or national origin, rather than information and evidence. The practice is controversial, and there is some data to suggest that it is ineffective in controlling crime.
Racism:
Racism is set of beliefs that some people are inferior or superior to others because of their distinctive and inborn biological characteristics which are defined by race. As a result there is an attitude of bias, prejudice and intolerance toward certain racial groups which are being treated differently, both socially and legally. The word racism was used for the first time in the early 1930s as a book title by the German physician and sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld (1868 to 1935).
Reverse Discrimination:
Reverse discrimination, or good discrimination, is a reaction to the discrimination of certain groups in society on the grounds of race, color, beliefs, gender or age. Based on the preferential treatment of members of a minority group over a majority group, positive discrimination seeks to talk about social inequalities, to improve the status of minority groups and to eliminate the dominance of the majority group.
Segregation in the U.S.:
Segregation assumed its special form in the United States after the Southern states lost in the Civil War and slavery was gone. Black codes that restricted the rights of the newly freed slaves were enacted in the South in 1865–66. These were gone during reconstruction, but after Reconstruction white dominance was thoroughly reestablished in the South, partly by the terrorism of the Ku Klux Klan and other groups, but more by the persistence of social custom
