History
is our only connection to the past and throughout time it has helped us
understand how the world became to be what it is today. It taught us all about
slavery in the United States, how your place in society was measured by the
color of your skin and nothing else. However, this discrimination continued
long after the fight for equality. Still today we are able to
witnessed racism in some regions of the world. Nevertheless, it is important to
mention that racism is not the only form of discrimination known to men. Back then people began to measure a person's
class judging by their accent. Forcing Black schools to teach proper white
English to all of the children in order for them to have more job opportunists,
as they grew older.
On the other hand it is very
interesting how white families would allow there daughter to grow up speaking
exactly like black woman. Even though they interpreted this as being form an
inferior class. Which leads me to question how somebodies importance in society
could be measure judging by how they spoke? It is vital to end with all of this
madness once in for all. Because the way you speak doesn't identify who you are
or what you are good for. We say we live in a fair world, but do we really?
