First of all let's be clear on something, YES, I am black. Specifically, I am from Nigeria which is located in West Africa (for those who may not know). So, whatever I write is not from a bias point of view, although it's my own opinion, but in all honestly, it is my truth. Some people reading this might think what am I going to write about, well am writing, about what affect everyone on daily basics in their daily life when I say, everyone, no one is excluded regardless of the skin color you wear #all lives matter.
The phrase, ALL LIVES MATTER is not just another hashtag, and in this context, I didn't use it to undermine the current struggle of black people at the hand of a racist individual. I also believe in #Black lives matter. but let's look at a bigger picture most people might say what bigger picture is it all lives or just black lives that have been lost as a result of police brutality due to racism since we dealing in specific let get some.
The Irish American people faced much prejudice, racism and discrimination after their immigration to the United States because they were poor, uneducated, less skilled, considered disruptive and were Catholics in a land of Protestant dominance.
At the hands of the citizens, the Irish-Americans faced stereotypes that associated men with drunkenness and laziness and their women depicted as primitive.
Having faced perhaps much prejudice in their motherland, it only worked to unite them for a common course- prosperity in all fields. They lived in Irish neighborhoods and established schools to improve access to education for their children.
About half of Hispanics in the U.S. (52%) say they have experienced discrimination or have been treated unfairly because of their race or ethnicity, according to a newly released Pew Research Center survey on race in America.
now That specific not only have other races endured discrimination or suffered at the hand of racist fanatics who believe they are superior to others or are more privileged than others, the Asians have and are still being discriminated against even by blacks this is something I have seen and I feel disgusted by we all want our lives to matter despite our religious belief, ethnicity,sexuality or who we associate ourselves with.
no one wants to walk on the street wondering if someone walking past them could bring harm to them because they are different.for most it when you are accustomed to privilege equality seems or feels like oppression. It would be easy to become a victim of our circumstances and continue feeling sad, scared or angry; or instead, we could choose to deal with injustice humanely and break the chains of negative thoughts and energies, and not let ourselves sink into it. It is unfortunate that when you want to make some people feel like human beings, they begin to take you as an animal.
