When did discrimination start in america?
From prehistoric times. Discrimination has always played a part in human social life. It's all about making a distinction between those who are in your tribe and those who are not. We treat those who are not differently (i.e. not as well).
Native American Tribes discriminated against one another and fought a number of brutal wars as result of blood feuds, religious vendettas, strategic territory, and numerous other incidents. The European colonists brought their discriminatory attitudes and ideas from their homelands when they colonized. Considering the European disdain for nomadic and unsettled peoples, their interaction with the Native American Tribes was one of disgust and discrimination.

the media considers emo people to be really angry people who always wear black, who cut themselves, because they enjoy pain,and who worship the devil.
,but what really is an emo is a person who is emotionally hurt, sad, but does not like feeling pain and cuts himself to use physical pain as a distraction for emotional pain........and no, not all emos worship the devil, some are catholic,atheist, christian, and the ideal that emo people worship the devil is just a myth, it has nothing to do.

How did the women's movement affect our society?
The women's rights, or feminist movement, has had a huge impact. Prior to 1920 women did not even have the right to vote in the US. Women were at one time thought to be incapable of doing any job other than that of housewife or prostitute. Later, they were thought to be capable of being secretaries, teachers of children, or nurses, but nothing else. Today, woman can and do work in any field, everything is open to them.
Why haven't African-Americans received reparations yet?
Because in the Constitution, there are ex post facto bans: you can't declare something illegal if it was done while legal. The myriad abominations committed against black people throughout history were done, shamefully enough, with the blessings of American law at the time - see the Dred Scott decision and look up Black Codes and Jim Crow Laws.
The laws were wrong, but the US Constitution says that if something was legal, you can't prosecute or demand reparations for it after it's declared illegal.
An anti-abortion group ran into this same thing during the Bush administration. They wanted to go into medical records and prosecute women who have had abortions since 1973 for murder...but they had their abortions when it was legal, so no dice.

Is there racism in Williams' Orpheus Descending?
Of course there is racism in Tennessee Williams' "Orpheus Descending. " It is set in a small town in the deep south, Mississippi of 1957. The Ku Klux Klan is part of the storyline, with the character of Jabe Torrance being a member. The "N" word is spouted liberally by the town Sheriff Talbott. Not only is racism a huge part of the inner world of this play, so is intolerance of non-conformity. This is all a product of time and place. Williams uses it to illustrate the ignorance and cruelty of many of his characters.

What is Jigaboo well known for?
"Jigaboo" is a racist word that was used as a way to insult or patronize a black male. It was in common use in the early 1900s, but is not as commonly heard these days. Given that it is a racial slur, the only reason to know about it would be to study the history of prejudice. But this word should not be used in conversation (or anywhere else, for that matter).
