The Conclusion

Civil rights are freedom principals that we govern our self under. This blog enlighten people with topics of power. If you were looking for entertainment maybe my blog was not for you, but to the people willing to learn something about where there gender or ethnicity started or even sexual preference I hope you were pleased.  My three core topics African Americans, Women, and the gay community are all three distinctive groups that have over came something they should of never had to faced to begin with. My transition of each were in a timely order due to there relevance today. My goal at the end of the day was to simply teach someone something new. If my blog has inspired anyone to take a second look at Americas history I consider it a job well done. 

Creating this blog has been a great experience and helped me understand so much I couldn't comprehended before. I was shy to speak on some of these topics because I never wanted to disrespect anyone and the thought of people that have no idea who I am commenting on my thoughts did not help either. This whole blog has made me realize I do have a voice and that voice gets respected with the facts and documentation to back up your opinion. Is this the end? I am sad to say yes due to other goals dreams of mine this would just be a distraction. What I can say is when I receive my degree and teachers license my first class will get to see how much power you truly have behind a keyboard.            

Same Sex Rights Are Civil Rights

Same sex marriage an issue that is evolving today. America which used to be a strictly gay free country to now having seventeen states where gay marriage is legal. we are almost at a half and half situation being a powerful nation I think we should come to an agreement instead of having the nation divided. People have despised gay marriage due to religious views. Gay rights activist believe if there aloud freedom of religion then they should be aloud to love who they please. Another reason protester of gays are against it, is due to what it can evolve to.They believe that if we allow gay marriage then we will soon allow  giving people in polygamous, incestuous, bestial, and other nontraditional relationships the right to marry. This issue is very controversial, I personally am undecided on thought of gay marriages or any gay rights. I don't understand how two men could teach a girl some things that they will never experience, when it comes to the morals of a lady I don't believe those things are teachable coming from a man. I question the after effect no matter how much states decided to legalize it some of our population will always be against it how will someone that is for it be able to have a respectful relationship with someone who isn't.   The way I feel our society portrays gay people in a whole is as if there not a human. Athletes within the NBA and NFL are coming out as gays and we portray it as this huge announcement that can change everything as we know it today. I believe being gay is someone personal business that we simply have to respect at the end of the day. Gay rights are civil rights and these people do deserve to care for who they want, but the way gays go about it cant be forced just like women, and African American rights it takes time to move forward from discrimination.  

 

Women Power

Hey bloggers, most if not all my blogs have been about the African-American civil rights movement, but this blog I am acknowledging  women not black or white but the gender in general. Women going all the way back to colonial times never had a voice a in anything important. Women being able to vote, wear what they want, or even own there on property at one point of time. Men in history believed all women were good for was cooking and giving birth. In fact black men were able to vote almost half a century before women could in general. I wonder why men treated women so unfairly? The thought of women with any type of power did not come until the year 1848

In 1848 The first women convention was held in New York (Imbornoni). This convention started the beginning of a change. A rough estimate of sixty-eight woman and thirty-two men signed a Deceleration of Sentiment, this deceleration was a way of women showing their demand to vote (Imbornoni). I am sure those thirty-two men got looked upon harshly for being the first to decide a change needs to be taken place. Women came of a point of view of natural rights, they believed that is was a born american right to have a say in any political issue that governs them and they did deserve it.

Susan B. Anthony was the Martin Luther King of her movement, she was hated at first by a lot of men for  her leadership of starting this women revolt (Imbornoni). Anthony along with others started the NAWSA (National American Women Suffrage Association), This association main goal was to be treated equally among others. A interesting fact about this group is they weren't so equal themselves at first, black women weren't apart of this group of females at first (Imbornoni). There goal was to aim for all white women to have a chance to vote the first three years of there movement. Until Anthony realized that all the women together no matter what color were stronger then separated.

As black and white women joined together the first group that wasn't segregated were the WTUL (National Women's Trade Union League (Imbornoni). This league improved the conditions and wages of all women no matter what color (Imbornoni). Women have surely came along way from these times of campaign, I wonder how women of the 21st century would go about all of this if they were in there shoes with all the knowledge today. It is very clear that women have a voice today to even almost seeing a women president in office, to them being judges doctors and all other figures of power.

Reasons why I think men feel or felt women weren't worth any power came from strength, Men being competitive naturally a women couldn't compare when it came to strength or anything physical. There emotions during "Mother Natures Week", instead of thoughtful thinking can determine there judgement. Another reason would be the inactivity of women during pregnancy logically women just aren't capable doing as much as they could if they were not pregnant and that phase is nine months as we all know.
