Reformation of the Racial State

In this blog I will shed light and details of the racial state in which minorities lived in and the actions that were taken to oppose racism and better the life of the minority people as well as some negative tension within their community. In the 1950’s and 1960’s the racial state was very circumstantial and cruel as to the means of life for the “minority” people. Some of these circumstances that they had to live in were all forms of segregation as well as discrimination. This was throughout the education system, public surroundings, the political system, and so on so forth. All forms of these were antagonisms in which penetrated their entire society down to the core.

Now I will explain to you the ways in which this “racial state” of living was reformed. In this time period there were many social movements as well as leaders within these movements which constantly encouraged the motives behind it all. A few were Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr, and a few more. As a direct action of these movements there were two phases in which these social parties acted on to better the life for minorities. Phase one was a motive of direct action for civil rights. It helped situate the black people and other minorities of that time in a way in which they were forcefully accepted into society. This phase did so in the initiative of hiring many black activist and placing them in state institutions rather than having them out stuck in poverty. The second phase of this direct action was to reform and develop racial practices. The initiative behind it was to protect the civil rights of the people from racist local and state agencies by forcing the government to defend them. They did so by finding loop holes throughout racial contradictions. However, as a result of all this good that was done a sort of “caste system” was developed amongst the people therefore resulting in class division. I guess you can compare it or relate it to India’s caste system. This all sparked controversy within the minority community while those on the bottom end of this were kept locked within poverty.

As a result of all this information I possibly see myself relating or even inputting this piece of writing in my paper. Reason for being so is because of the relation it has to the caste system in India although the previous means in which it started in this minority community were of good intentions. Also being that this is all connected with the topic of racial reformation.
