Why is racial discrimination and gender discrimination so serious in America?

Racial discrimination and gender discrimination in the United States have a long history. Since the earliest European immigrants arrived in America, there have been racial discrimination, belief discrimination and gender discrimination, which were originally European characteristics in the seventeenth century.

The most important factor is the policy factor at that time, from selling black people to selling people, which has far-reaching influence and has not been stopped by policies, leading to more and more serious discrimination in the future.

There is also the category of territorial consciousness. Just like the locals have lived in their place of residence for so long, and suddenly some foreigners come, the locals will think that you have violated their territory. . If you just can't talk to your heart, after all, people have been watching you for a long time, and it will probably be fine if you live for a long time in the future, but I think it makes no difference to rise to discrimination. We are all human beings, born equal, so we should respect each other, don't think highly of ourselves, and always feel superior.

1957 America is in the period of black liberation movement. There's a name called Dorothy? A black girl of 15 years old in Kanz, she became the first high school student in American history on1September 4, 957. That day, her father and her father's black friends took her to school and walked to the door of the local Harding High School. She is wearing a plaid dress that grandma sewed for her the other day. The front looks energetic, but the back of this dress is covered with a lot of phlegm and rotten food. Some men laugh and throw stones and rotten food, but more boys spit when they ridicule. On the way, many white children surrounded her, abusing her and laughing at her. Seeing that photo, I felt her helplessness and injustice, but her eyes were firm and her body was tall and straight, which was different from the children around her. Her skin color is black, but I feel the light inside her.

Her locker at school was destroyed, and her house was harassed and threatened by phone calls. Dorothy was forced to leave school by her parents after only four days of school, and even had to move to Pennsylvania. All the bullying, abuse and exclusion she experienced in Harding High School were photographed by photographers, which became the symbol of the black liberation movement and had a far-reaching impact.

It is really unacceptable to crowd out black students just because the students in this school are all white. This is unfair to girls, and even brings long-term mental injury and pain.

This situation has rarely happened now, but it will still exist. We are born equal, so we should respect each other. Our beliefs may be different, but it doesn't hinder our normal communication. I hope that with less discrimination and more love, our life will be better.
