discrimination?
give it in detail

Answer 1

Answer:

Overall, African Americans report extensive experiences of discrimination, across a range of

situations. In the context of institutional forms of discrimination, half or more of African

Americans say they have personally been discriminated against because they are Black when

interacting with police (50%), when applying to jobs (56%), and when it comes to being paid

equally or considered for promotion (57%).

Additionally, 60% of African Americans say they or a family member have been unfairly

stopped or treated by the police because they are Black, and 45% say the court system has treated

them unfairly because they are Black. Blacks living in suburban areas are more likely than those

in urban areas to report being unfairly stopped or treated by police and being threatened or

harassed because they are Black.

In the context of individual discrimination, a majority of African Americans have personally

experienced racial slurs (51%) and people making negative assumptions or insensitive or

offensive comments about their race (52%). Four in ten African Americans say people have

acted afraid of them because of their race, and 42% have experienced racial violence. Higher

income Black Americans are more likely to report these experiences.

African Americans also report efforts to avoid potential discrimination or to minimize their

potential interactions with police. Nearly a third (31%) say they have avoided calling the police,

and 22% say they have avoided medical care, even when in need, both for fear of discrimination.

Similarly, 27% of Black Americans say they have avoided doing things they might normally,

such as using a car or participating in social events, to avoid potentially interacting with police.

Answer 2

Inequality is a major and critically important issue in American life, with significant and detrimental effects on health and well-being.

Racism, inequality and health care for African Americans:

• The American health care system is beset with inequalities that disproportionately affect people of color and other marginalized groups.
• These disparities contribute to the gap between health insurance coverage, unequal access to services and poor health outcomes in some populations.
• African Americans are bearing the brunt of this healthcare challenge.
• African Americans are also long-lived, and most of them have some form of health insurance coverage.
• However, African Americans still experience extremely high rates of disease and vulnerability and have a shorter lifespan than other ethnic and racial groups.
• They are one of the most economically backward populations in the country.

Racism against Black Americans:

• From the arrival of the first Africans in the early colonial era to the American Civil War, most African Americans were slaves.
• Even free African Americans have faced restrictions on their political, social and economic freedoms before and after the Civil War, and have been subjected to lynchings, secession, the Jim Crow law and other forms of discrimination.
• In the context of racism in the United States, racism against black Americans dates back to the colonial era and has remained a constant problem in American society in the 21st century.

The Naturalization Act of 1790 laid down the first uniform rules for granting citizenship to the United States, limiting the naturalization of "free white persons", thus excluding Native Americans, contracted slaves, slaves, free blacks, and later Asians.
