Civil Rights

As Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "I have a dream that my four children will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character."

Back in the 1800s and the 1900s, there were many problems all around the world that evolved around many similar topics, it all had to do with how things/people were naturally brought into life. Theses issues were mostly around the North American side of the world, where then it spread and lead to chaos over a very stupid argument.

In America, there was huge argument against black citizens and how they are much less than those that are white. Pretty hectic huh? The whites where way more privileged than those that were coloured, due to this issue, society had made major differences to communities, having the whites as the biggest rocks and then came the pebbles which were the black that were not prioritized at all. 

Civil rights now is a lot better than what it was before, if you were treated the way "negros" were treated back then, you wouldn't even stand to live in such inequality and misery. Civil rights back then had no meaning at all, whites had all they wanted and more, while blacks were treated with hate and discouragement. For example, the whites got better education than the blacks, different schools, different buses, different waiting areas, etc. Of course all these differences were a lot better for the whites than the blacks, the whites had fancier buses, schools and waiting areas. Civil rights were not existent at that period of time to black citizens, until one day, the civil war began, which was called the civil rights movement. 

The civil rights movement is when activists took place and discussion into bringing an end to segregation, they took action and were standing up for themselves. When this action was repeated several times, the whites got even more angrier, they decided to step up and file a suit law. Many activists help overcome what was happening during segregation to the diverse world we live in now. Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, etc. Many of those activists were assassinated while being innocent and just standing up for their rights. 

Finally when America had agreed to stop segregation and be an integrated country, it was as if nothing has changed. Just like this mentality, "separate but equal" that meant that they were free and had all the privileges but were still counted as second class citizens. Everything was whites before blacks, when it was time for the election after blacks were released, they were still discouraged to vote and so were women that weren't even allowed to vote, whether black or white. Here they are overruling men over women, "men get to vote and women do not". They were all very racist and sexist, rude towards many people just like arresting Rosa Parks for not giving up her spot on the bus for the white lady. 

It is very important for society to know about the historical slavery time when many normal people we treated roughly for just being who they are. These events are a greta way of explaining how society is evolving and how peoples' future may be. Till now, in many religions and cultures, men have upper hands on women, the men get to do stuff women can't do, though everything women do is a follow of what mens do. In my opinion, I am against this sexism theory that everyone is talking about these days. That why there are women equality association but never men equality associations. It is so unfair! 

There was time near June 2018 where many people were against an idea Saudi Arabia had to enhance the civilization of women in the kingdom. Late 2017, early 2018, Saudi Arabia's king decided to allow women to drive on the streets for the first time in forever. Everyone was like, "women don't belong behind the wheel of a car. They belong in the kitchen." Honestly, what is this nonsense? I wish people can just think before speaking or talking. Everyone is EQUAL!

People should really stop judging a book by its cover. No one is capable of what a women can do! What is the difference between a black man and a white man, white men can drive cars, be lawyers, be presidents, be teachers, be scientists, be garbagemen and be anything they love. But guess what? So can black men!!!!
