Nominations!

Nestor
Nestor's blog was very convincing because he thought deeply about the rights of disabled people. His amendement was very powerful and should be done.

Christopher
This blog can be more convincing since it was too short though he had a reason for the teeneage amendment.

Carol
Her blog did mention a lot fo rights fro prisoners and they do need freedom but only the innocent prisoners other should attend their penalties.

Ivania
 I understand  that she feels sorry for the criminals but they did their worst without mercy they should pay what they broke.

Gabriela
I agree with her because although elder people have disabilities they should run, jump, drive and do what they feel like just because they are the same as us just older. They can be smarter than young people thats a start!

Armando
Part of his blog is true because most of the attacks muslims are blamed just for their way of living but he should explain more things and he left ut the proposal.

Genderie
I agree because everybody should have equality no matter the race. They have the reason to complain their problems.

Bianca
She has all the right to make this proposal and it was convincing to me and it will be to others. They would understand students are trying to make money for their schools.

Christian
His blog although it was not that long it explained a lot. His proposal stated a lot of rights for veterans.

Edrick
Many muslims are being denied and this is very bad because their race have nothign to do with the attack it is the same as not letting a white person to go to Africa because he killed a black man this is no t right.

Equality for all!

The world needs a change where everything and everyone lives peaceful and full of hope. The important hope of all humans is the discrimination. The discrimination is everywhere in the world and people suffer from it. We need to make a change and make a proposal for all human equality and this includes most for African Americans who are also humans which are also the same.

African Americans have been discriminated all their lives and they are still discriminated against. Although the new era has come but people do not accept that they are equal and it is said in every civil right law. Now what we need is a new amendment for equality that convinces everybody to follow this amendment. There are many rights for African American and they do use them wisely but some other races just do not get that they are the same as them just different colors. A new amendment would be that "African Americans need equality and discrimination is not allowed for every discriminated act you will be arrested for 10 years". This amendment may not look tough enough but yes this could be a law just like bullying.

To conclude a proposal is to make sure that everybody in US follows this amendment and can make this strong enough to be a law which everyone must follow. The result to convince is to follow this and make sure to know the consequences that can happen. Inform your fellow neighbors, relatives, friends and US citizens so we can make a change to discrimination.

The fight for the right!



   Changes ocurred during the time Martin Luther King Jr. led the movement for new civil rights and equality for all. The civil rights movement should have contributed evrry race but this was not actually what have happened. Many of the rights were not followed in some states. Most of the african american rights were ignored and put aside just to keep treating them like they were nothing.

   The rights were emeged in a lot of states. The fourteenth ammendement was the one to protect the african americans. This right includes racial segregation, voter suppression, denial of economic opportunities and public or private terroristic violence. Discrimination was pesent worldwide but it was most specified in the Southern region and states. A civil rights movement was known as the NAACP which was a group trying to abolish discrimination against any other race but especially to African Americans. Another civil righst movement was the Brown vs. Board of Education of 1954 which then made segretation legally impermissible. Many things led to difference of equality. The civil right act of 1965 banned every discrimination of public or private employment to everyone. Also the voting right was over and everybody could vote no matter the race.

Those all were changes that made segregation banned and equal to everybody. The civil rights movement changed the US. African American can know live in peace and with equality for the rest of their lives. There is no discrimination allowed anymore.

   African americans have been discriminated in many ways since they first came to US. African Americans have dealt with slavery in a lot of ways. They are still being discriminated against and some racists still run around trying to be like the past. They wish to live in peace and with every single equal right they should have.
    
    The first struggle was to get out of slavery. They did not fight for their rights in that instant they needed it. The only way to get out of the slavery was from the help of the president which was Lincoln in that time. After the slavery act, they had some equal rights but there was much more than those few they had. They could work and go to school but some still were servants and much did not have those privilages. One discrimination movement was from Rosa Park who was arrested for sitting in the white area of the bus. She and other African Americans helped to struggle out of that court with the equal right of sitting where ever they wanted. They tried to resist discrimination by forming communities and groups such as NAACP. This helped although discrimination was still in hand up until the 1900's. The most important event was the movement held by Martin Luther King Jr. which was one of the most important events for black history.

   They struggled to get out of that hole of pain and suffer because of the discrimination and civil rights equality. African American were peaceful just because if something was wrong they had to pay for everything. Although people say violence starts with the color black this could only have happened because the white provoced it. http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/27.html http://www.lib.washington.edu/subject/history/tm/black.html  http://afroamhistory.about.com/

Suffering :(

 

    Ever since the first Africans sent foot to the "New World" they became slaves and this slaves were mistreted and struggling for happiness. For centuries African Americans have been treated as a second-class citizens by the United States. Actually they did not considered citizens at all. Africans were always mistreated since they moved to America. They lived poorly since they were slaves and lived harshly. The only ways Americans treated their slaves was with anger and pain.

   Slaves were whipped and treated harshly by their owners because everybody saw them as animals or savages. They used to have to rights at all, they were not considered citizen nor humans. After the slave era  the North allowed them to have rights and considered citizens they even were part of the army. The South still had slaves and Lincoln was trying to abolish it. Then the South and North united, so more and more rights were done for African Americans. The white people were angered and offended black people even to the point that they had to use violence. Many African Americans were hurt and murdered because the white people did not accepted them. One of the most violent events against colored people was the KKK which killed and tortured many colored people because of their race. After the KKK fell African Americans were free with no worries of being harmed.

Now they have rights and yes some are fewer but they have more since they first step foot in US. They had some restrictions like sitting in front of a bus or  trying to argue with a white men but this is all done thanks to the black community which got out from the hole they were in fighting for their rights. One true leader was Martin Luther King Jr. which helped his community to have more rights and be respected. Now they live equally to other although some perople do not agree with this

  African Americans have been present ever since the late 1600's. They have been through a lot, from pain to liberty and happiness. They first where brought to America as slaves and where distributed around the world but only as slaves. They came from Africa and Europeans also Americans captured them and used them as laborers for their works. Through out time they became a group used all over America.
  
 The first group of African Americans landed in America in 1619 and were sold my Dutch men to the settlers at Jamestown. In the 17th century there was over 1,300,000 Africans in U.S. This group have lived in Africa ever since the first human beings. Africans were only used for labors. They were slave for settlers who needed help and then continued on being a distribution of workers. Africans then bbecame a group thanks to the use they were utilized, as slaves. Ever since they came in US they became a group. Africans throughout Africa were normal people but since they were brought to US they were mistreated and seen as savages. They had no rights, no life or no reason to live like other white men. Actually they were treated worse than animals. Pretty much said this group of Africans were not strong at all until years later. By research African American made up a percentage of 12.5% but that was up to 2005 now it should be at least 30%.


  Africans treated as useless people in those years are now seen as a powerful group. They were held up to 1865 were then they had their rights and interests to live in. The black community grew up a lot by the 1800's. Where many Black heroes led a difference to their community. By these people the community was able to get put that gutter and into a world with equality and reasonable rights.

Essays!!!

Armando Rivera
Mandy's blog was pretty resumed I liked the fact that he has all the real names used correctly. Most of the content is based on the real facts. Overall his essay had good details although it might need a little more facts about what had happen maybe as a story.

Christian Morales
Christian's blog had most of the facts in history. He did not only posted resumed stuff  he gave a content which was full of true history facts. This was not only part of the story he even told how they lived.

Christopher Guzman
This blog is good. It had almost no details about the real story. It was overall very resumed.

Nestor Flores
This blog was full of history, pretty much every detail is in here. I liked this one a lot because I couldn't have read a story or looked ata a movie to understand what happened. This is a good blog for new comers that need to learn about this story.

Carol Sanchez
Carol had a good idea on mostly talking about the Ghost Dance which was an important figure for the indians. She also talked about how the people was ignorant and this is rarely true because the abuse is pretty much ignorance.
