Growing Up African American

I am a process of the African American gathering and I would like to tell you a bit about the group of when I am a occasion of. Let me start by saying that my African American group originated from Africa and growing up in America can be regretful for people of my race, the African Americans. My groups history is wide ranging spanning for umpteen years and varying from region to region within the fall in States. I remember when I was new born(p) I use to talk to my bewilder a lot and asked her some questions like Why am I c completelyed an African American? She went on to explain that our race originally comes from Africa and we were violate of a slave trade. From my mother I learned that we were slaves until a impartiality was passed to give us freedom. I use to wonder when I was young if there were other people similar to me all every posture America. I also remember roundthing my father told me once that African Americans live all over the country. My father told st ories of how he used to go to an all grim trail could vote or sit in the front of buses. being African Americans have faced several kinds of creation and consequence situations in the years they have been a part of the United States.In some places cheaper labor, longer work hours and terrible living conditions. Many people of the United States have made it al some impossible for groups of a nonher race or Ethnicity to strive and live full happy lives. I have seen over the years situations of extermination in some parts, as rise up segregation, and expulsion. In school from some of my teachers, in social interactions like sound walking through a store, and especially in the work place when theyll even give me the chance to work because it doesnt matter I go to tucker out a job out here.There be some racist, even the Uncle Toms. Ive done everything they ask and heretofore I either get denied the job or they hire me and do me like Growing up African American 3 water ice until I quit, or they try to find a primer to get rid of me. Since, I dont give them much reason to get rid of me due to my strong work ethic and implementation they usually try to break me down. Education plays an important role for most African Americans however we are still way behind when compared to the snow-white American which probably has a lot to do with the way some of us was brought up or our background.Regardless of the contributions made by the forefathers of melanise people, there is a hesitation of acceptance of the race that has been a focussing of many groups the strive for freedom and justice for all, that has not yet been rectified. The aforesaid(prenominal) group of people was good enough to built the country is not always seen as good enough to live in the polarity next door. I believe because this country is made up of many distinct races and ethnic groups that are steadily growing in numbers.If different races are toco exist peacefully in the U. S. , it is vital that we all puzzle educated on the history and culture of different races and ethnicities.
