The Jim Crow Laws
It's the year 2025, yet it feels reminiscent of the 1950s and 1960s. As generations progress, each passing year seems to attract more criticism.
During the 1960s, Jim Crow laws enforced segregation, compelling whites and blacks to use different restrooms. African Americans were not accepted, and in the 1800s, they were enslaved.
It's well-known that discrimination has always existed. People often cite bathroom use as a safety concern for everyone, yet during the 1950s and 1960s, the situation was even more severe.
During that time, white people believed they were the rightful owners of the United States, leading to the enslavement of Black individuals who were treated very poorly and killed.
Many people are unaware of their history, and even if they Arnt, they often disregard the past hatred due to their selfishness and self-centered thinking.
Currently, with Donald Trump as president, he is reigniting hatred, and those who voted for him believe it's acceptable to harbor animosity towards others. What these individuals fail to understand is that eventually, their descendants will join the workforce and face the real world, while the parents and grandparents of these future generations will likely no longer be around.
Therefore, it's crucial to leave behind a legacy of love and acceptance for everyone in the future. Once, the United States was recognized as the land of the free, attracting people from all countries to come live here.
In today's generation, we are ridiculed and disliked, not just by our own people but also by other countries.
The landmark Supreme Court decision determined that Black individuals were not eligible to become citizens of the United States, preventing African Americans from being able to sue in court.
In today's era, a similar situation is occurring, affecting not only Black individuals but also anyone who wishes to immigrate to our country.
The land of the free is being dismantled right before the eyes of this generation. People are being deported without any justification, and the transgender community is being treated as if they shouldn't exist. Restroom use has become a safety issue, reminiscent of the Jim Crow era.
So, what is causing all this hatred now? Is it Trump, or has it always existed?
Why is there so much hostility, and why do people hope for others to fail in life? Diversity is what empowers us all. We've only seen one Black president in a lifetime. All the other presidents have been white; we need a Mexican American president and a Native American president. Only then can we truly say that America embraces all forms of diversity.
Future generations should begin allowing more people to become citizens of the United States, as this could lead to seeing a president who shares our heritage.
In this generation, restrooms are now used by both white and black individuals, but the current issue reminiscent of the 1950s and 1960s involves Transgender Females today.
Companies and employees raise concerns when a transgender person uses the restroom that aligns with their gender identity.
I understand people's concerns, but it's also important for them to consider the concerns of others.
The Jim Crow Law is making a return, and people are unaware that it is dividing all forms of diversity.
Is this law being reinstated intentionally, or is it merely accidental?
No matter the reason, it is unacceptable for others to be treated unjustly. Everyone originates from Adam, Eve, and Lillith.
Therefore, learn to make prudent choices in life and embrace love and acceptance.
The Conclusion
We have a significant journey ahead to reclaim our status as a great nation, but the first step is to embrace love for all. Life is incredibly valuable. Let us ensure that this law does not dictate a singular perspective. "Love"
