African Americans
I am an African American born in the United States, in New York State. Being only 19 years old, I don't have an a first hand experience of how my community came to the united states and therefore most of the information about my community has been acquired through classroom reading and few accounts that have been given by my mother. Both of my parents are African Americans and they have an accurate account of how the community arrived in the country, although they may be the third or fourth generation of the African Americans. Having gained interests about the diverse races that make up our country today, I have also taken extensive research to understand how different races arrived in the country. I have been particularly interested in understanding how African Americans crossed the continent to comprise more than about 12% of the United States population (Schefer, 2006).
African Americans were among the first races that came to the United States. They came immediately after colonizers started setting up farms. The development of these farms meant that they had to find a way to provide labor. The agreement between settlers and the Native American communities could not allow them to use Native Americans to provide cheap labor in these farms. The relationship between Native Americans and European settlers was frictional and it was practically impossible for them to cohabit together in the plans. This means that European farmers had to find an alternative source of labor for ht expanding sugar and cotton farms and this solution was found in Africa.
Establishment of farms in Caribbean region coincided with entry of Europeans into Africa. European sails, on their effort to find a sea route to India, had discovered African continent which had not been explore before. Africa provided strong men and women who had served in European caravans as they transverse to the interior of the continent. Entrepreneurs saw a growing opportunity for selling African Americans to Europeans as slaves to provide free labor in Caribbean farms. This led to the development of triangular trade. This was a human trade where there were African based traders who raided villages and capture strong men and women, chained them to together and sold them to European traders who waited them on the shore and loaded them into a ship heading to America. African Americans provided free and cheap labor in the growing sugar and cotton farms that were needed to drive the European economies. For more than a century, they toiled in European owned farms in the Caribbean region. This means that African Americans came to United States as slaves. They were shipped all the way from Africa to come and provide free and cheap labor in the white owned farms and had limited freedom.
As a slave, African Americans had limited rights. They were supposed to work for a number of years to buy their freedom and in most cases their master could sell them to another master. They were whipped and lived in vulnerable conditions. Most of them died from diseases and neglect. However, African Americans maintained a vibrant communal society and they lived in love same as they had lived in their villages. It is estimated that more than 11 million African American slaves settled in the American by the end of slave trade. After independence, there was a struggle between the northern and southern states on retention of slaves. Therefore, most of African American slaves after being granted freedom migrated from the southern states to the Northern states running away from Jim Crow oppressive rules. This made southern states like New York States to have a larger population of African Americans. New York and Alabama are the two states that have a higher population of African Americans.
During slavery and after slavery, African Americans suffered from segregation and extermination. The southern states, which had refused to end slavery continued with oppressive rules against colored people. They enacted Jim Crow laws which segregated African Americans. In addition, there were groups like Ku Klux Klan, a white supremacist group that is recorded to have exterminated African Americans through lynching. Africans Americans were not allowed to go to same schools or use same buses with whites. Segregation against African Americans was institutionalized until the second half of the twentieth century where civil rights movements called for equal treatment of all races. It all stated with Brown vs. Board of Education case that ruled out segregation in public schools and this gave them momentum to fight for their rights. Civil rights struggle which took place from 50s to 70s is considered one of the most turbulent period in United States history as it was marked by civil strife and racial tension. Although there are incidences of segregation, African Americans have been taken as any other race in the country especially after the hall mark election that saw President Barack Obama, an African American take office to become the first African American president of the Untied States.
In conclusion, the history of African Americans has been full of struggles. They have struggled to gain recognition not as slaves but as any other race in United States. Today, African Americans are proud citizens of the country although their entry point was as slaves.

If a african american refuses to vote for Mccain are they racist?
Recently, my child went to school with a Mccain pin on her shirt..Most of the African american children at her school said she was prejudice and a racist. My question to african americans.. Are you not voting for Mccain because he is white.
First of all, the children most likely don't understand the complexities of politics, I barely do. Children do as their parents do...follow in their footsteps. They all are simply misinformed. In my opinion, while children should learn about the election process and gov't and all, they shouldn't be allowed to pretend to know something they don't, so why was she wearing the pin in the first place? Shouldn't the view of the parent not be super-imposed over the child, to where she takes your views with her. Perhaps a good understanding of both sides would be good for her, if she is smart enough to understand wearing political pins then perhaps she would understand if you let her make her own decision on the subject, given all information. The children, at school, are wrong to call her a racist, most definitely, but I think she was also wrong to wear it to school. However, when it comes to your question imagine, you've been living in a country where the leader for the last few hundred years has always been another ethnicity then your own and now there's a chance, a good candidate that you can identify with has a fantastic opportunity to become your new leader...would you not vote for him? I am white, voting for Obama, because I believe he will make a good leader..I believe he has the intellect to aid our country...I believe he has the right ideas when it comes to education, healthcare,the war, etc...
