Dehumanizing Minorites Still Exist

*Waving at everyone that's reading this.*

Sorry , the pictures that you may see through this may be too much but please enlighten me ?

why is it that Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, African Americans, Asian Americans and people from foreign countries?

Supposed to be minorities.

Shouldn’t we be represented as the majority?

The majority social group are known to have the most power in a particular place and sometimes the most members. that’s what sociology taught me and that’s what I seem to noticed.

According to Charles Wagley and Marvin Harris, a minority group is distinguished by five characteristics:

1. unequal treatment and less power over their lives.

2. distinguishing physical or cultural traits like skin color or language.

3. involuntary membership in the group.

4. awareness of subordination.

5. high rate of in-group marriage.

Additional examples of minority groups might include the LBGT community, religious practitioners whose faith is not widely practiced where they live, and people with disabilities.

Okay now let me say this ,

Dehumanization is the denial of full humanness to others, and the cruelty and suffering that accompany it.

Minorites in History has experienced their own version of hell in their lives

from African Americans families being split up and demeaned by people that felt they did not deserve the same wealthy or stable life style as theirs.

African American Mothers being mistreated and assaulted by others that were men and felt that they had controlled. when they got pregnant their kids were either used as props for people to hit them .

On top of that , In the past .. Specifically around the time of civil war. Some Mothers that were nurses for not only soldiers but babies that were not theirs they had breast fed them because they did not have much of a choice. They were beaten and milked like cows if they were hesitant to feed the slave owner’s babies.

Furthermore, The mothers of the babies didn't want to because in America and Europe at the time they thought that breastfeeding was awful and would make them their lose shape and figure. They wanted to look appealing to their lovers. so they denied their own babies their breast milk and then forced African slave mothers to take their roles. They didn’t care if the babies of the African slave women died. They just wanted to look good for themselves and a deceiving ass man that was possibly cheating on her with an African american woman... but They didn’t want to be stressed. (How great is that?)

To Now In the Year of 2020, Many African Americans lives were lost by police shooting , lynching us ,prison institution and Mental institutions.

Just to name one precious soul that was taken from her family and the people that love her is:

Her Name is Oluwatoyin Salau.

She was only 19.

She was an activist apart of the black movement.

She had heart and soul.

She was sexually assaulted by an older man and was molested , then died all in one month in Florida.

It's still June.

It's something wrong,

It's something truly damn wrong with some of the people walking around in this world.

Along with Asians and Mexicans in history faced there issues and still do today.

for Asians in the 19th century , slavery were abolished in most countries.

yet, during the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Pacific War, the Japanese military used civilians and prisoners of war to do forced labor, on projects such as the Burma Railway.

It was also known as Death Railway is a 258 miles railway between Ban Pong, Thailand, and Thanbyuzayat, Burma, built by the Empire of Japan from 1940-1944 to supply troops and weapons in the Burma campaign of World War II.

More than 100,000 civilians and POWs died in the construction of the Burma-Siam Railway.

Now fast forward to 2020 , Asians lives are still in danger if they do not follow customs rules in places that they live in such as a place like North Korea.

Moreover in the past Mexicans were slaves that were beaten and taken advantage of by people to have their land and control over them.

In 2020 , Mexicans are left with having to work jobs that does not give them much and have less options because most aren't citizens.

Some Mexican families are split up because of that.

because of ICE.

because of the law.

Children are in cages as if they are animals and some are lost in foster care.

without any proper care for them to be warm,

for them to be loved by their families that they know,

for them to have good health care from a virus that's making everyone sick and killing most that have a weak immune system or unable to keep up with their health.

How does this look to you ?

after everything that I have said.

It's obvious , It's reality unfortunately that dehumanizing minorities exist today still.
