Black , White or Yellow People: Just People!






Black people became slaves in the American Colonies during the sixteenth century. The slaves were bought by landowners to work in large cotton plantations and crops or in mines. These plantations needed many workers to take care of the farms. Other slaves worked as servants and they had to do domestic tasks.

The slaves were blacks who had come West African coast by ships in barbarous condition. Many slaves were humiliated by landowners and they suffered enough.

The legacy of the slavery is the discrimination. The discrimination has been a great evil on the human relations for many years, since the time of the slavery until the present, because the skin color or other stereotypes.

But many Afro Americans could proved that are winners because of their talent, not because of their color, and they have been able to win the barrier of the discrimination, like for example Martin Luther King was a pastor and politician activist who fought for the civil laws through a campaign of not-violence and love to the next one.

Before everything, the black or white or yellow people need to be seen as human. The people have feelings, dreams and a great transforming power. But it remains to know if the desire is come back toward the good or bad things.
