Black Live Matter
When talking about the theme, which is black live matter, sometimes a picture could better explain the content than words. This picture below demonstrates a black woman holding a plate, which says “BLACK LIVES MATTER”. She is yelling and fighting for her rights, because black Americans always have low status in society. This source could perfectly accord with my main theme because my theme is placed on importance of black Americans’ life. The picture conveys that black Americans are eager for safeguarding their rights. There are many unsolved problems of black Americans. For example, what should the government do to best assist black Americans to support them?
The fact that the US is carrying some races is being used to show lots of discrimination on people who are black. It is in fact very clear that the white race is not going to accept to be equal with the black or any other people of color, and especially the black people. Injustices are shown to the black people from all the angles, right from their places of residence, their workplaces and even from the government. The efforts that the black people are making in trying to get balanced are not bearing any fruit, and instead, the efforts are making things worse(Edwards & Bradford, 2016).
The police and the rest of the forces are also playing a major role in discriminating the blacks. Such are the reasons why the BML movement was formed to fight for the rights of the blacks. When an analysis of the people who are in prisons was done, it was found out that most of the youths who are in prison are black males who have very long sentences over petty errors, that can be given a few months according to the law or even fined and the person is left to be free. Whatever the case, when a black man is arrested, they are and must be sentenced, and the sentences are in most cases very long and not like those given to the white races(From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation, 2016). Looking at the population in prisons, one may wonder where all these white people who commit errors are kept, or even try to think like; Is it only the black people who commit errors in the US?
There are some protests that, have been arranged so that the black people can claim their rights of equality, but almost all of them have had the same effect. The people who are demonstrating are beaten by the police who use strikers, canes, tear gas and who even shooting especially when they are unable to calm thesituation. This is a very wrong way to handle demonstrators because there is the right to demonstrate and while they do so in a peaceful way, they should not be mishandled. Things are quite different when white people demonstrate, because they are not mishandled in any way, and the police may be following them only to make sure that they do not go against the law.
The content of the picture that I chose accord with the theme, which is “Black Lives Matter”.It could vividly demonstrate the subject of the paper, which is a blackAmerican fighting for their own rights. Because of the primary source, readers are able to better understand meaning of my article and the pain of African Americans will be delivered to others.
Even with the formation of the lack Lives Matter movement, things are not improving. There are many other movements that the blacks have formed which are aimed at fighting for their rights. In the recent moments especially, there are rising a lone-wolf people who are aiming to kill the blacks, and they attack places where Africans are a majority. This is sending a lot of fear to the blacks, but since they are in lives of searching for work to have their lives sustained, there is nothing they can do. The present government is an even representation of what true discrimination is. Blacks are being deported back to their countries even with the slightest provocation, which is a true indication that the blacks are no longer welcome in the US, or better still; the worse waits for them!
