How has America changed since the time of the Civil Rights Movement? Life in the south for african americans is crappy, they had terrible times and had some crazy stupid laws. They had been through a time with laws being passed that ruined there times. Their life was changed when they had no more freedom due to the laws and racial acts going on. What makes us good guys? The things we value are what makes us good, the things we know our people care about. Why people should look up to America? People should look up to America because we let our people vote for what they want, we don't make them just do what the main people want. The people will be a lot happier when they get to vote on what they think as a whole would be better for there "world. "
How did the racial divide in America begin, and what is the legacy of slavery in this country? People of color where looked at of less than any white person, they were sold as property. The legacy left behind from slavery isn't to show what we have come to from what we started at, but it is left behind as a burden, a reminder that we were once those people that participated in slavery, and i believe that's why we still have slavery today in america.
What was life like for African American citizens of Denver throughout the history of the city? How did African Americans thrive in an era of discrimination? How is Denver a better place because of its citizens of color? Life in Denver at this time for colored people was awful , they weren't looked at as people. They were never allowed to do the same things as white people, or if they did then they went last, and sometimes if there were too many people in a movie thester , then the black people would go home and not be able to see the movie that night. After awhile the colored people got tired of being the 2nd class citizens, always being ignored, so they finally stopped taking all the rude actions from the white people. The colored people were just bulied and always accused of something. Colored people in this time thrived by trying to do the right things, and try to do what they love. Denver is a better place today because its generation now has many colored families of all sorts trying to effectively change whats going on. Monday: 4/30 It showed them they werent good enough, they werent normal and couldnt be the same. They were depressed, angry and hurt. There minds were down, they felt that they couldnt do their best and what they did was never gona be good enough. They always tried to hide their body, not being seen as colored and tried to be normal and be the same as others were.
Friday: 5/4/18 When dealing with hate groups do you ignore them hoping they'll go away OR will they only come back stronger? I'd say that when you have protesters that have lots of hate you can do either one, You just always have to have a secondary plan. So, lets say that if a hate group comes in and are being outrageous and no one does anything and you just leave it be and hope they leave, you always have to have a back up plan if they were to come back and come back even stronger! You would need a plan and preperation to be ready for what is to come! But lets say that you try to deal with it right then, it could cause them to come back with more people, become harmful and violent and with these threats or possible actions, you would also need a second plan, you need to find a way to keep it undercontrol and to bring everyone to a reasonable solution and an understanding of what is going to happen. I also personally belive that you must handle the situation right away as it happens. Letting something just go without action allows them to gain more people and anger to let out creating an even more violent situation.

5/9/18 Is the past really the past? How can the inequality of today be explained by the inequality of yesterday?
No, the past is not really the past. I'd say that what has happened in the past is still causing harm and disagreement through groups of people. It may have happened in the past but what happened is still making a cause and effect scenario. It can be explained by how "we live in a world where we live in a place and we let things go year after year and we dont change it. We just let it happen, there is no money issue, no hard way to fix this but we just wont change it"-Jennifer The things wrong yesterday are still wrong today, nothing will switch around over night but you need to start somewhere and fix it over time!
5/14/18 Quiestion of the day: In what ways were the Chicano Rights Movement (El Movimiento) similar to the Civil Rights Movement for African Americans?
The people had no political power, some peoples bosses had told them how he wanted them to vote. Some were registered voters, some were not and were not allowed to register. White leaders had to be forced to give up power. They were harrassed, charged with stupid crimes and had physical punishment, such as death and pure abuse. The Texas Rangers intimidated and killed many people. They even acted as private forces. Even women were pushed out of power, men didnt even want them to have power. They were pushing their way to gain their rights to have power just like men did.
Q of the day 5/15/18:
Chicano people in denver still had mainly the same life. They were all treated porly and no one was happy about them. They were treaded about the same as blacks were back when they were fighting for their rights. Corky Gonzalez and the cruesade for justice were both a huge part in the activist in the chicano of denver that were helping them through these times. ` Q of the day 5/16/18:
Corky Gonzales was an activist in Denver for "The Crusaide For Justice." His fight begun in the mid 1960's. He led the chicano's to the Pour People March in Washington D.C. where he also issued his "plan for the Barrios" His contributions as a community organizer, youth leader, political activist, and civil rights advocate have helped to create a new spirit of Chicano unity. He made an idea for having a Congress for Azlan. His key to liberation for the Chicano community is to develop a strong power base with heavy reliance on nationalism among Chicanos.
Q of the day 5/17/18: Some people will choose violence over non violence because thier not worried about collateral damage. They want results and want them now. Its all a convince thing.

Everything nowadays get out of hand way to fast because their intitled and want to have their way or its noway!
