African Americans have had many struggles to overcome in history. In America, African Americans are seen as "the underdog," and rose from the bottom to be in a position enough to "compete" with white America. On the other hand, African Americans are also perceived as a threat in many situations. For example, the Trayvon Martin case. On many occasions, cases such as this have proved African Americans to be nothing more than threats to everyday living.
Latina Americans are still seen as "lower" than the average American. They are seen as low, and only good enough for hard labor. Native Americans are also understated. For such a rich and bountiful people, America oversees them as low-down and needing the help of America.
African Americans, Latina Americans, and Native Americans have always been at odds. I believe that banding together against the "greater, white America" could be an alliance no one can ignore, and allow all three groups to be better seen as a whole.
I agree. These three ethnic groups combined could make a power group that could rule this country. American then would become a "black" owned country similar to Haiti. However, there are incidents like the Trayvon Martin case that prevents us all from progressing as a people.
