THE TRUTH ABOUT RACE INEQUALITY IN AMERICA

Race has always been a hot button topic for the American people. Blame it on the guilt of slavery - or whatever you may - but it has remained a subject that raises eyebrows as well as voices within communities for almost two hundred years. The inequality for African Americans in the Uniyed States as it differentiates from their white counterparts is staggering! Yet, we as a people, blatantly deny the facts, clues, and disadvantages. We will only rise up as a united people when we can finally come to terms with our very own open secret. We will, first, have to admit our nation's past wrong-doings and it's effect on generations of a people. Will we ever have that ability? Our nation depends on it.

The Color Line Is Being Erased

I love reading controversy. Especially, those intended to be erased from history. Many refuse to discuss the eras of indentured servitude and slavery that has stained the history books; even though the chapters regarding are miniscule in comparison to other points in history. We, as a people, are ashamed. Yet, we brush these travesties off as mere tales. Understand, they are very much a part of you and I.
Today, the advancement of technology has allowed us to get a glance into our very own heritage via DNA. The lowering cost of testing has allowed for us to get a grip of our own lineage. Many have elected to participate for the sole idea of knowledge and have made confusing discoveries. Due to the eras, many have discovered that their ancestry has been greatly exaggerated. Some of us have been reared to believe the fallacies bestowed upon us by word-of-mouth. Many of us have come to believe that we were of a certain heritage but have been proven wrong since the beginning of genetic testing. Those who were told that they were of Latin, European, or some other Caucasoid race have discovered a large percentage of African heritage flowing through their veins. Some have been brought up to believe that they are of Native American lineage but, in all actuality, Asian lineage has been discovered. As well as those who believed that they are of European lineage have found that they are, in fact, a larger percentage of African lineage; at times more prevalent than originally discussed within the confines of their family dynamics.
