Segregation was definitely an event within the United States history where a combination of racism, prejudice, and fear all played a role. If it were not for those three elements, there would have not been this 'bad mark' in our history.
ReplyDeleteSo many people think that these dark times, such as the Holocaust, are behind us in history but today there are still mass genocides going on in foeign countries due to religious and cultural differences.
ReplyDeleteThe camps set up by the US for Japanese citizens after Pearl Harbor is another example of racism and prejudice because the government assumed that all Japanese were untrustworthy.
before the holocaust even occurred, jews were persecuted all throughout europe. They asked to live in certain areas, sometimes they were denied. They were often kicked out of their homes. They became bankers and lenders of money because they couldn't own property (plus the christian religion didnt allow that). So yea, this was happening way before the holocaust for the jews.
