1, Ku Klux Klan.
Ku Klux Klan is famous as the discrimination of United States
First, I’d like to explain the outline of Ku Klux Klun. It was known as a
one of the cruel groups in the world. It is said that the Nordic is assumed
to be best, and they dislike the black and the Jew. Recently, Hispanic
people, homosexual are included. In 1865, the first Ku Klux Klan was
formed after the war in the United States. At first, their action was not so
much heavy, but gradually, their violence became strong and cruel. And
in 1871, the government regard them as one of the terrorists after World
War 1. Second Ku Klux Klan was formed. They got a great support of
the poor white, sometimes they moved politics. They had much power.
But Ku Klux Klan crushed when the leader captured by rape. But it still
remain and acting quietly.
Recently, the derivation group was born in Britain, but Ku Klux Klan in
Britain becomes a very small movement, and it doesn't influence the
world.
The word of Ku Klux Klan is the mixed word of Greek and Gaelic of
Scotland, and it stands for tribe. Moreover, it assumed that it comes from
the sound of loading the bullet into the gun in another theory.
The member of Ku Klux Klan wore a white lobe that has food. It shows
the ghost of the soldier who returned from the world of the dead.
Moreover, it is assumed that it is imitation of the Temple knight member
in the middle ages in Europe.
Temple knight is a religious order. It was established to protect
people who faced the pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and the most remarkable
thing is that they created the original financial system, and it was the
foundation of the international bank.
I think white people misunderstood the bible, and reading it as they
like.
They don’t know the bible is based on Jewish that they hate.
That is the big problem. The discrimination is always created by poor
knowledge of history and the background.
2, The case in Mississippi.
Ku Klux Klan’s violence was so brutal. I’ll pick the saddest case up. It
was the source of the movie “Mississippi Burning”. Two white boys who
supported the black and a black boy were shot by the police. These boys
didn’t do anything. The black boy was killed just because the color of his
skin, and two white boys were also killed, because they get along with
the black people. I was very shocked when I watched this movie, and
think what is freedom. I can not understand the meaning of the freedom
in United States. People always cry for their rights and freedom, but on
the other hand, these people take someone’s right and freedom. so I’m
getting interested in the idea against the black people and the black
slaves.
3 , The idea against the black slave in United States.
In 15 to 16 century, the black slaves were exported from Africa to work.
Plantation was not completed without them. They had to work for a long
time, may be their lifetime .They were living in a bad condition, and
treated as if they are not humans. I read some books about the slaves that
taken from Africa, and thought, American people believed that slave
system is not illegal, however they cry for their freedom. I can’t believe
their mind, idea, thoughts. And there are still a few people that believe
the ridiculous idea in today’s world. However there are some white
people who hate Ku Klux Klan, and discrimination, especially in the
north. The difference between the idea of north and south raised the war
up.
The white in south believed their freedom is their prosperity. The white
in north believed their freedom is respect individuals no matter what
color is.
4, Today’s discrimination
There are so many shapes of discrimination today. As we human beings
got knowledge we tend to discriminate something or someone. Now
discrimination against color (black) is decreasing, but new problem are
taking place. ”Hispanic”. It is said that there is 40 million Hispanic, and
it accounts for 13.4% of the United States population, and the biggest
minority. A lot of Hispanic can not communicate well in English. They
have a great pride and never want to give up speaking Spanish. They
keep living in their style, not American style, so they sometimes in
trouble or discriminated. marriage, or Job. The difference between
discrimination against the black people and Hispanic is, I think people
try to solve the problem. People learned something from the mistake
(discrimination against the black).
5, Conclusion
Now situation is getting better compare to old days, but we have to
have importance on peace. It’s not peace for one person, but for
everyone. However each person has each definition of peace, so it’s
quite difficult to get together. But It is very important to be patient when
we communicate. We need to do it for a peaceful world. The will that
want peace for everyone will make the situation good.
