African Americans and the American Dream
The main and core purpose of the American dream is to pick everyone from the bottom bring on the top where everyone is able to make money and become possible independent. As well as the key purpose of the American dream is to provide equality to all citizens and made them equal to each other in all terms (Hochschild, 2006 n.p). But the African Americans have been highly ignored and even devalued in the case of the American Dream. In clear words, they have not been considered in many things and left hugely unequal than other classes.
Beyond above, African American survived with huge struggle, faced obstacles and limitations for being excluded from the American Dream. The struggle, limitations, and obstacles that the class faced are but not only;
African American faced extreme hardship of racism within the US and even in the whole world. There were battles and protests while attempting to finish out racism and develop equality in the community of blacks (Hochschild, 2006 n.p). Beyond that, they have been continuously (especially after the 1950s and onward) denied in terms of their natural born rights.
It is a fact the American Dream is a focus on the person’s point of view and personal goals of a person in life but it has been stated by number experts that it cannot be accomplished if all individuals and classes have equal rights like white Americans.
The African American faced the hurdles of not getting the benefits of social well-being which are provided by the American Dream to the nation and society. The class has the limitations of involvement in social and political activities where they can raise voice for their rights (Hochschild, 2006 n.p). The obstacle which blocked the way for African American is their huge population n dangerous cities, lack of family structure, etc.
After the segregation in 1964-65, African Americans have gained much of the rights and freedom but there is still a gap and inequality or issues when we see today's poverty, income, and growth of the class.
