People of all colors should be treated and payed the same. Why are people of color treated badly anyway, with harsh names and untrusted. We are all people, ones color should not define how they are treated. We are all people, no matter ethnicity. No matter if someone is darker than you, you can treat them as you would treat your friends or family. There should be a new law, where people of color should be treated the same as anyone in the United States.
We are all people, through and through. Nothing can change that, police shouldn’t assume based off of someone's colors that they are up to no good. Police have arrested many innocent people, if someone of color is arrested for something against the law, then yes, they should be arrested. But assuming

They have families like us, they think like us, they live the same as us, nothing makes them different except their colors or their looks. We all were made to look different, we tell kids not to bully someone because of their looks, but what they haven’t been taught is not to treat colored people badly. It ties into looks, they look different, their colored, they can’t change that, they can’t control that. Why would we put them down, even though, they’re pretty much the same as us. Just with a different skin tone. They should be trusted more, police and regular citizens shouldn’t put them down for something they had no control over. A new law should be put in place, that people of color should be trusted, not put down. We should love them as we love our families.
African Americans don’t always live in good neighborhoods or have good jobs because some people just won’t hire them. We need to help them, they need to support their families too, they need to feed themselves too, they need to enjoy life too. They are normal people, and we need to treat them as
Do you think people should be judged on their color , race , features , etc. ? Well , if you do your wrong . NOBODY should be judge just because of their color . Everybody should get the same respect . If people continue to let people down , make them very sad just because of their race , someone could get hurt ! Us humans should take a stand . You shouldn’t be able to not do anything you want without being a certain color.
In the 21st century, there are still places in our country that are prejudice and act out in such a way as to let the colored family know they are not welcome. I live in a town just like it, if you are a colored, you stay away from some businesses because of the remarks, you only can live in a certain section of town, and if you are a woman, you best be home taking care of the home and kids. It is difficult to see prejudice rule in today's society, truly the coloreds that work for the county get the worst jobs and get paid less, but no one says anything, they are just happy to have a job. in our county of 19,000 people we have 2 colored families, (we had 3, but the third family was lesbian and they were driven out of town, it was
Ask yourself, if a policeman pulled you over, would you assume automatically that the crime was the color of your skin? And would you wonder if that crime could cost you your life? The unanimous answer should be no, but it is guaranteed that within different races and communities, the answer will differ. Because of this, it is clear that different people of different races get treated differently.
Many people today are being arrested just for the color of their skin, which is called racial profiling. “Racial Profiling is the discriminatory practice by law enforcement officials that targets individuals based on their race, ethnicity, or religion” (Racial Profiling: Definition, n.d.). “Shoshona Hebsi is a 36-year-old woman who is half-Jewish, half-Arab, and a U.S citizen. She was racially profiled on an airplane, and was mistreated. After they pulled her off of the plane they proceeded to put her in a cell and strip and search her because of the color of her skin. Hebsi experienced this mistreatment from law enforcement
I remember walking into a store with non-colored people once and hearing them snicker because one said “you can’t afford anything in here.” Discriminating issues really have to come to a stop. It’s barbaric and unfair. What is life for colored people if we can’t go to a non-colored people store and get told we “don’t belong there” it’s not fair.
My friend did not expect the police to handcuff him outside of his house in front of his neighbors. He did nothing wrong--an hour earlier he had called 911 to report that someone had broken into his shed and stolen a lawn mower. Yet when the police finally showed up to investigate, they immediately suspected the perpetrator was him. This grievous act was made very obviously due to the fact that my friend is an African American male. The scene of people of color being subjected to bias from law enforcement is unfortunately very common. There are many books and movies that expose this prejudice, including the book Just Mercy. Brian Stevenson, the author, asserts in his book Just Mercy that the race of an individual has the most impact on how he/she is treated within the criminal justice system.
Obviously there always is deep rooted racial problem in this country. It occurs every day, in cities and towns across the country, when law enforcement target minority ethnic group especially African Americans and Latinos. It is illegal and a clear violation of the rule of law.
Police officers would target communities of color, such as black and Latino communities. Criminalizing bystanders based only upon racial discrimination is a violation of their rights and our rights. The Declaration of Independence states that “all men are created equal.” Are our rights any different than others just because we are different races?
Should the color of one’s skin subject them to a higher level of scrutiny from law enforcement? This is a very controversial topic in today’s society and leaves many confused. There are many arguments from all sides, some saying that this practice has helped catch many criminals and that people would not have to worry if they are not doing anything wrong. Others deny it all together and say that racial profiling simply does not exist and police officers are just trying to do their job. These arguments are both wrong. Not only does racial profiling exist, but it is wrong and only serves to create fear where there should be a sense of safety. This gross practice still persists today throughout all levels of encounters from ordinary traffic
First, I think it’s necessary to understand that Black Americans are a planned permanent underclass, and we have a unique history here. Firstly, we’re the only group in this country who did not immigrate here. Our ancestors were brought here against their will as slaves, for free labor and ever since then it’s been a goal of the leaders of the dominant society to keep us down. Blacks were physically freed after the Civil War, but their
Making a difference between races is something that could have been influenced when growing up. Everyone needs to be treated the same regardless of what race they belong to. "Racial profiling is unjustified with general problems with profiling, and those specific to racial profiling itself is not clear that it is always unjustified, because it might reduce serious threats to people's lives, liberties, and property" (Lever, 2007). What people believe is right to do is unfair and cruel to others. The way of thinking should be that everyone should be treated equal no matter what race people are. Everyone deserves respect and to have no differences between someone else.
African Americans have been through a lot, they had to face their worst fears. They were treated like they meant nothing to nobody. Every African person was considered a “ three fifths “ of a person. They including their children were affected in many ways. For example, there was this law named, Jim Crow, this law was passed in the 1880s. This law stated that African American children's had to go to a separate schools from the American “ Whites “, they were not allowed to drink from the same fountain as whites, they had to seat all the way in the back of the buses, they had to eat from a separate restaurant, can not step in a public library or even attend the publick parks. This also affected the adults, they were not allowed to work in department
There is no doubt that even though Negroes and children are still getting educated,colored people are treated differently because Whites are threatening children and Negroes.All of these African-Americans are treated like prisoners.I think it isn’t right for whites to judge colored people by there color.It isn’t the blacks fault that they were born this way.I believe that people should be friends with others by their personality not color.
Just because of their color, it doesn’t give an officer the right, who should be a leader. Act in such way to kill or beat up someone because of their color.
As the world begins to evolve, and technology begins to advance, there are some ideas and acts that continue to occur. Racial and ethnic profiling happens every day, and many individuals push the idea aside. The fact is that we are all people, and nobody deserves to treated differently because of their appearance or what they believe in. We are all human, and we are all special. I am a Caucasian male, so it 's almost impossible for me to experience and to feel what some people go through. I did have an encounter that opened my eyes.
