Professor (Dr. Ephraim Okoro) Semester (Fall 2016) Today's Date (Wednesday November 3 , 2016) Bowie State University Department of Communications Bowie, Maryland Civil Rights in the United States is among one of the prominent issues in the United States based on its political standpoint. It is an issue that many Americans see as an underlying issue that can only be fixed with people that are determined to make a change for the political and civil rest of Americans who face such issues on a daily basis. As African Americans we face the most difficult hardships as a minority that we forget what we deserve and should accept as citizens. The issues we face include hate crimes, affirmative action, and racial profiling. Among all of these throughout history we face hate crimes and racial profiling the most. To the major race in America, African Americans are racially profiled while driving and when this happens, it leads to the misinterpretation of the "African American man", as a threat. This leads to unnecessary fatalities amongst police officers, and the "threat". There are times when most Americans come together in order to fight for the eff orts of African Americans, but that does not always solve the universal issue. It takes more than everyone coming together, those who oppress us must see what and where the problem lies in order to help and decapitate the issue. The issue of Civil Rights lies not only amongst African Americans but also to groups such as the LBGTQ community who face problems such as not being able to use public restrooms without the proper labels for the appropriate gender description on it. They are also denied the right to marry the same sex in other states in the country, this is a civil rights issue because these people are still and regardless of their sex, human beings and should be treated the same as everyone else who is fit and lives in the same society as everyone else. Although society does not see the issue that is present in America, don not turn a blind eye to the fact that the person next to you is denied the same rights as you based on their race, creed and or gender affiliation. The difference between you and the person next to you is that they are different individually, based on personality and cultural; however, the most important thing to remember is that they are experiencing the same issues, as a minori ty of people.
