The one thought that I became more cognizant of after watching the video is the fact that after the emancipation of slavery another form of slavery evolved. Although Blacks were free on paper, they were never free psychologically or emotionally. African Americans still endured oppression in the form of discrimination and inequality. Although people of color in America have made some progress, racism and discrimination still exists. Native Americans were treated just as inhumane as Blacks; however, the United States Government believed it necessary to show remorse by providing Natives with special privileges and other amenities to compensate for the way in which their ancestors were treated. You would think that the same would have been true for Black people, but to my knowledge that has never occurred. It is time for this country to become empathetic towards generations of maltreatment towards African Americans by openly acknowledging the suffering that was endured and the impact it has had on Black People today. Some might say, “Oh well they have had a Black president, how much more equality do they want.” For those with this mind set, it is necessary to point out that President Obama also endured racism and unfair treatment during his two terms in office, which is a clear indication that although freedom from slavery is documented and legalized another form of slavery is evident and is present in the minds of those who believe in and support White Supremacy. I would have to be honest and say that I am not sure what can be done about the situation. Very little changed when Native Americans were compensated; currently, Natives have little trust towards White America. The pain and suffering from the past has left a stain that can only be erased by Almighty God!
