Here in the South they want slavery they think that the African Americans should do everything for the whites. When slavery ended the South was very dissapointed because they were beginning to be treated the same and the whites didn't think that the African Americans should be treated like a normal person. It was a big change for the South because they were use to having everything that the slaves didn't. But the slaves are so happy they finaly get to have and do the same things as the whites who wern't slaves got upset. The slaves are thankful to be free because slavery is all they have known. They could finally have a life that didn't consist of slavery and pleasing other people.
In the South it is sad how the African Americans are treated they don't understand why skin color makes whites against them because it's just a color of skin. The African Amerians have to try to find work from whites which is hard because most of the whites don't even want to hire them. Or if they don hire them they don't give them the regular pay or make them work twice as hard as the whites. And if a white is looking for a job and an African American is the boss then they won't work for them because they don't want to get told what to do by an African American. Whites think that they are way above the African Americans and have all the power possible over them.
Being here and seeing the African American familys is very sad. I can't imagine what it would be like to get judged just because the color of your skin. And to be avoided by whites just because they think that you should just go back to being a slave again. I don't understand how some of these people are so mean. The whites see the African American as "bad people" they think that their to blame for shootings and robbery and everything else, that's not true even whites do things like that its not JUST African Americans! I think that the whites need to put themselves into the African American shoes and see how they feel. A lot of them are good people that just want to live a happy normal life without being judged by there skin color....If only the whites would give these African Americans a chance.
