The Origin of Segregation

Racism has been a core issue in societies where many cultures interact on a daily basis, while some people are subjected to segregated conditions such as the lack of proper exposure to educational environments, denial of job opportunities for equally qualified minorities and subpar living conditions often seen in the ghetto areas, where the other majority is more advantaged because of the exploitation of the specific race groups, especially the class difference between African Americans and Caucasians have been pronounced throughout the last four centuries, beginning from the days of slavery where whites from different areas in Europe invaded regions in Africa to capture and enslave the blacks who were living peacefully, with a vibrant culture of their own, which was shattered by the aggressive and unfair nature of the slave traders who made it their job to subject humans to inhumane conditions, this is the precursor to the current situation of most minorities seen in the United States.
