On Account of Race: A Deep Dive into Racial Injustice
![Jese Leos](https://bookishfables.com/author/steven-hayes.jpg)
When it comes to understanding the deep-seated racial inequalities that persist in our society, it is crucial to address the multiple factors that contribute to them. On account of race, individuals face discrimination, limited opportunities, and systematic disadvantages. In this article, we will delve into the various aspects of racial injustice, shedding light on the challenges faced by marginalized communities, and advocating for equality.
Racial Discrimination: A Persistent Issue
One of the most obvious manifestations of racial injustice is racial discrimination. People of color often find themselves subjected to unequal treatment, both overtly and covertly, due to prevailing stereotypes and deep-rooted biases. This discrimination can manifest in various aspects of life, including education, employment, housing, and criminal justice systems.

Education Disparities: Unequal Access to Opportunities
Communities of color are disproportionately affected by education disparities, with limited access to quality education compared to their white counterparts. This lack of access perpetuates a cycle of inequality, restricting the opportunities available to individuals based on their race. Addressing these disparities is essential in building a more inclusive and fair society.
Economic Disadvantages: The Wage Gap and Wealth Inequality
The economic disadvantages faced by people of color are deeply entrenched in our society. The racial wage gap highlights the disparity in earnings between different racial groups, with people of color often earning less than their white counterparts for equal work. Additionally, wealth inequality is a persistent issue, with historical factors such as slavery and discrimination playing a significant role in perpetuating these economic disparities.
Criminal Justice System: Unequal Treatment and Mass Incarceration
Within the criminal justice system, racial biases are evident in disproportionate arrest rates, harsher sentences, and a higher likelihood of being targeted by law enforcement. The mass incarceration of individuals of color further exacerbates the racial injustices prevalent within society, perpetuating a cycle of discrimination and hindering opportunities for rehabilitation.
Fighting for Racial Justice: Towards a More Equal Future
While the challenges faced on account of race are vast, it is essential to highlight the ongoing efforts towards dismantling systemic racism and achieving racial justice. Advocacy, policy reforms, and community initiatives are all crucial tools in this fight. By actively engaging in discussions, supporting marginalized communities, and effecting change at both the individual and systemic level, we can work towards creating a society that offers equal opportunities to all, regardless of race.
Racial injustice continues to permeate our society, affecting various aspects of life for people of color. Discrimination, limited access to quality education and economic disparities all contribute to the perpetuation of racial inequalities. However, by acknowledging these issues, working towards reform, and fostering inclusion, we can pave the way for a more equal future, one where individuals are not disadvantaged on account of their race.

Award-winning constitutional law historian, Lawrence Goldstone examines case-based evidence to reveal the court's longstanding support for white supremacy (often under the guise of "states rights") and how that bias has allowed the court to solidify its position as arguably the most powerful branch of the federal government.
Beginning in 1876, the Court systematically dismantled both the equal protection guarantees of the Fourteenth Amendment, at least for African-Americans, and what seemed to be the guarantee of the right to vote in the Fifteenth. And so, of the more than 500,000 African-Americans who had registered to vote across the South, the vast majority former slaves, by 1906, less than ten percent remained. Many of those were terrified to go the polls, lest they be beaten, murdered, or have their homes burned to the ground. None of this was done in the shadows--those determined to wrest the vote from black Americans could not have been more boastful in either intent or execution. But the Court chose to ignore the obvious and wrote decisions at odds with the Constitution, preferring to instead reinforce the racial stereotypes of the day.
On Account Of Race tells the story of an American tragedy, the only occasion in United States history in which a group of citizens who had been granted the right to vote then had it stripped away. Even more unjust was that this theft of voting rights was done with full approval, even the sponsorship, of the United States Supreme Court.
