Towards A New Brand Of Racism In Usa: Blacks Vs Blacks An Issue Of Controversy

Authors : Nawal Mebitil .

Abstract

In an attempt at tackling one of the most prominent issues facing African-Americans in USA from their arrival as slaves till the present time where they have, brutally, suffered from whites’ discrimination and isolation as a main part, indeed, of racial segregation. However, blacks who struggle for the sake of having equality and integration within the whites’ society, claim their dissatisfaction with their new situation as this famous united community suffered from a severe division. Hence, throughout this paper, a great focus will be placed upon blacks’ situation, their fight for integration within the American society and their current attitudes towards each other as members who are supposed to belong to the same community where they are supposed to share the same colour of skin, the same believes and seek the same purpose. To meet this end, a careful comparison, namely, between the former black generation and the new one as two different generations belonging to the same category has been established aiming at exploring this new trend of racism, i.e., Blacks Vs Blacks.
