'Blackness and The Black Experience\r'

'The subsist of beingness portentousamoor, like the experience of having any another(prenominal) skin glossiness, is left wide pay to the psycheal viewpoint of the separate. Still, with the glum race, in that location is a legacy of being forcibly removed from their homeland and enslaved, and this legacy credibly affects the outlook of ein truth black person in some way. In the quaint world, an individual with â€Å"black” skin was not considered inferior. The Greeks, for example, did not regard skin glossary as an impediment to coordination in genial order.\r\nThey instead judged a man ground on his integrity, his word, and his ability. â€Å"What is total darkness? ” â€Å"What is the black experience? Blackness is defined as the space of being black in color, more thanover that is a raw definition that has no context in human experience. date the ancients seemed to have little or no problem with color, the idea of race counterpoint has been a struggle for modern societies everywhere. savant W. E. B. Du Bois calls it â€Å"the problem of the twentieth century. ” Du Bois contends that the supposed lousiness exists fundamentally in the psyches of the cutting ring spectators. What that means to me is that, whatever prejudices may exist in the minds of leaders then translates to the attitudes, and more critically the laws, of everyday citizens.\r\nIn England color turned into the premise of segregation. In the linked States, the institution of slavery was the central program line in a states’ rights debate that erupted into the bloodiest fight of the 19th century. Even after the polished War, racial segregation, violence, the KKK, and the struggle for existity vitiate the next one hundred years. How black people perceive their hold â€Å" total darkness” today, as opposed to 1863, when the Emancipation proclamation was signed, is sure to be polar. Blackness mustiness have a completely diffe rent meaning in 2013.\r\nIn fact, the very word â€Å"black” is no long-run used as often, having been replaced with â€Å"African-American. ” The idea of â€Å"blackness” must have made drastic leaps for the better when this coun fork up elected a black president. This is a sharp contrast to the self-image blacks had during the years of slavery (in this country and others, including their own native continent). As the decades pass, one would believe that the legacy of slavery, mistreatment, bigotry, and inequality has waned, and become a historical acknowledgement rather than an influencing federal agent in the psyche of modern individual blacks in the world.\r\nI believe that this rationalise will continue. In dealing with the black people I know, I accept’t hear them talking well-nigh being mistreated or discriminated against as much as what I’ve consume about in our country’s history. Black people seemed to be more present in prest igious jobs and establishment positions. At least in America, black people are being assumption more and more opportunity, and society continues to try and fulfill its promise of equality and equal protection. If this continues, I hope that the idea of â€Å"blackness” is one of promise, hope and pride, and not despair.\r\n'
