浅析新形势下美国黑人的社会地位
Negro problem is born with the American history. It is the most complicated, prominent and difficult problem among American races and ethnic relations. For a long time, in the United States African Americans have always suffered from discrimination and they lived at the bottom of the society and could not get rid of poverty. American Civil War was a great revolution in the black liberation movement, which freed the black slaves. But since then, the black Americans still suffered a hundred years of segregation and discrimination, leading a miserable and oppressed life as second –class citizens at the bottom of the society. Not until the World War Ⅱ, due to the various factors, could the racial segregation involving legal, economical and social discriminations be abolished. Racial discrimination was restricted in employment, housing, distribution, and education. The social status of the blacks began the most significant change in more than one hundred years, which was a progress in human rights. On November 4, 2008, democratic president candidate Barack Obama won the election and became the 56th president of the United States, and also the first African-American president in American history, which set up a milestone for the African Americans’ long-term fight for equality and freedom.
In the United States, the African Americans are one of the most special groups of people. The so-called ‘special’ is not to say that they enjoy special rights economically, politically and socially, but that they have a special history: African Americans have suffered two hundred years of slavery and a hundred years of segregation. Since the African Americans settled in American, they wasted no time in fighting for freedom and equality.
Even today, most of them still are excluded from the mainstream society, difficult to home their soul in America. In 2008, the first African American president Barack Obama emerged, which, unfortunately, did not fundamentally change the social status of black Americans, thus, he actually would not likely to terminate the American racial discrimination.
