Why does America discriminate against blacks?

There are blacks in the United States, but there are also a lot of discrimination against blacks in the United States. Moreover, the discrimination against African Americans in American society has lasted for hundreds of years. Although it has slowed down greatly now, the contradiction is still sharp.

The origin of black Americans

Black Americans come from a wide range of sources. Generally speaking, there are three main directions:

1, African-American immigrants to the United States;

2. Black people from Latin America immigrated to the United States;

3. descendants of black slaves;

Among them, African blacks and Latin American blacks generally entered the United States late, basically after World War II, when the world situation stabilized and the United States achieved explosive development. They are also a minority of black Americans.

Native American blacks, that is, the descendants of these blacks who came to the United States to be slaves earlier, are the most important and core part of the African-American community today.

Black people who are discriminated against.

It is a common phenomenon that black Americans are discriminated against. Although the United States is an immigrant country, the main ethnic group is white, which also leads to the general discrimination against blacks in American white society. Of course, this mood of white Americans also means this atmosphere of the whole society.

Generally speaking, black Americans are discriminated against for several reasons, including historical factors, racial factors and more realistic factors:

1, historical factors

When black people first set foot in America, they entered as slaves. They are doing the dirtiest and most tiring work. They not only have no dignity, but also have low status and may be killed at any time. To put it bluntly, blacks at that time had no "human" rights.

In this case, whites have always been condescending and superior to blacks, and different identities and huge status differences have caused the root of discrimination against blacks. This historical abnormal vision has continued until now, and the main source of the exclusion of blacks in white society now comes from here.

2. Racial factors

Competition between races is common. Even though it is difficult for blacks to pose a competitive threat to whites, social environment, comfort, possession of living resources and happiness can all be classified as competition for any race. Although it is difficult for blacks to compete with whites, they also occupy a lot of resources invisibly, which has a great impact on the lives and living environment of whites.

Like animals, it is a natural phenomenon that different races repel each other. Black people are naturally rejected by white people because of their different skin colors. Even, it is very common that not only whites discriminate against blacks, but also blacks from different regions and ethnic groups discriminate against each other.

3. Realistic factors

Realistic factors include many points, the most important of which are generally three points:

First, fight. Fighting is a natural thing. Black people have low status and will naturally fight for their rights. However, the long-term struggle and the violent impression formed in the struggle have made the white society more exclusive to blacks.

Second, the crime problem. Objectively speaking, the crime rate of blacks is very high, which even blacks admit. After all, most of the criminals in prison are black criminals, which is the most powerful proof of the high crime rate of black people.

An ethnic group with a high crime rate will naturally not be welcomed by society because it has brought too much harm to society.

Third, the ability to work. Any society and country welcomes those who are hardworking and willing to create wealth. But blacks are generally unwilling to work, with low ability and even less success. There are many homeless people and black people on the streets of America.

Society can take care of the weak and protect the lives of the people at the bottom, but no society will welcome those who "eat and drink for nothing". And this kind of behavior of black people will naturally be disgusted.
