摘要:
美国种族歧视可以追溯到欧洲奴隶贸易时期。
种族歧视是一个深深植根于美国的社会弊病,因为在美国,黑人和其他少数民族处于美国社会的最底层。
种族歧视是美国国的一个尖锐的一直存在的社会问题。
文化,历史以及政治等都是种族歧视产生的原因。
但是,黑人为了获得同白人一样的权利,很多的人一直在反抗种族歧视。
结果在一定程度上获得了同白人一样的权利,但是是一个艰难的过程。

2.1TheFormsofRacialDiscriminationagainstBlacks
Livinginthe21stcentury,wecanstillfeeltheexistenceofracialdiscrimination.Racialdiscriminationagainstblacksmainlyincludesthreeparts.Theyareasfollows.
2.1.1TheFieldofEducation
Whentalkingabouttheculturalfield,theaspectofeducationcannotbeneglected,especiallyforchildrenoftheblack.In1930,only58.5%blackpeoplecouldenterschools,butin1980s,theblackchildrencouldhavethesamechancetoenterschools(GilbertandKarl1992:
92).In1965,theMiddleSchoolEducationActacceleratedthestepofeliminatingthesystemofracialsegregation.Moreandmoreblackchildrencouldenterthesameschoolasthewhitechildren(Franklin1988:
567).Previousstudieshavesuggestedthatinresponsetooccupationalandeducationaldiscriminationbasedontherace,manyAfricanAmericanstudentshavementallywithdrawnfromtheschoolingprocess,asindicatedbylowlevelsofachievementandhighlevelsofschooldropout.Before1954,thestatesintheSouthhadlegislationwhichindicatedthattheblackchildrenwereforbiddentoentertheschoolwherethewhitechildrenwereeducated.In1960,therewere589schoolsinNewYork,butonly95schoolswhereblackchildrenwerepermittedtoreceivetheireducation.Theblackchildrengrowupintheenvironmentofbeingtreatedlikeanothercreaturefromanotherplanet.
“Inrecentyearstherehasbeenaresurgenceofracialconflictatpredominantlywhiteinstitutionsofhighereducation.IncidentsofharassmentandviolenceattheUniversityofMichigan,theUniversityofMassachusetts,andothercampuseshavehighlightedtheconstitutingracialdivisionsamongmajorityandminoritystudents.Theseincidentshaveemergedduringaperiodwhenthesociety,ingeneral,hasexpressedconcernaboutthedecliningenrollmentofracialminorities—particularlyblacksinhighereducation.”(TheUrbanReview1988:
Vol.20,No.3)
2.1.2LaborMarket
ThehighrateofunemploymentoftheblackappearedaftertheSecondWorldWar.In1946,theJobManagementCommunitydeclaredthattherewasnoworkforblacks.Theneachfactorycutdownthenumberofblackworkers.OwingtotheSecondWorldWar,therateofunemploymentoftheblackwastwiceofwhites.From1952to1954,therateofunemploymentoftheblacksincreasedfrom5.4%to9.9%(Herbert1965:
367).Equalityinemploymentandsalarydidnotexist.In1954,theaverageincomeoftheblacksperhourwaslower1.90dollarthanthewhites’(Raphael1993:
532).“Blackmen’saveragewagesin1975were$4.65,78%ofthewhitemalewage.”(Reimers1983:
570)StatisticsprovidedbytheUnitedStatesDepartmentofLaborsuggestthatbyNovember2004,theunemploymentrateforblackandwhitepeopleis10.8percentand4.7percentrespectively.Accordingtosomestatistics,blackpeople’sincomeisjust1/3ofthewhitepeople’seveniftheyaredoingthesamejob.That’sofcourseduetothediscriminationinthelabormarket.Onthewhole,thecoloredpeoplearegenerallypoor,withlivingbadcondition.Statisticsshowthatthenumberofblackpeoplelivinginpovertyisthreetimesthatofthewhite.
