During the 1930s black were already discriminated against and when the country hit the Great Depression it only got worse. White male employment was the first priority to many so blacks would have a hard time finding jobs. They often lived in the poorest districts and were paid less than white people doing the same job. Futher-more during the 1930s there was still segregation in almost everything from waterfountains to which door you could walk into. After the Great Depression few blacks could find work and only 5% of blacks have 'well paid' jobs compared to 30% of whites. Also in President Rooservelt made an anti-lynching Bill however it was attacked by the southern politicians and six weeks later it was removed.
Not all was bad for the Black Americans since in the 30s the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) Provided 200,000 jobs for black people.
However despite this things did not really improve for the black Americans till the Second World War when with the Double V campaign alot of black Americans gained more equal rights in the work place and also at the start of the war all the armed forces were segregated however by 1945 there are 600 black pilots in the air force and in 1946 the Navy is desegregated and all the forces are desegregated by 1947.
A harsh place for black people Slavery had just finished but black people were still treated like slaves by white people
The white people had many things that blacks didnt. Blacks were treated as animals and they even had to SIT in diferent waiteing areas because the whites were so racist.
Do you know a white that treats a black like a slave? If so, then that person needs to be corrected. If a white is raised the right way, they will learn to treat everyone the same, no matter what race. One thing you need to remember: not all whites are prejudice of blacks. Almost everyone, unfortunately, knows a racist. But everyone thinks differently and no one is the same.
White schools were better than black. they had better teachers, and work areas. better supplies.
White people are not cooler than black people or anyone else & black people are not cooler than whites or anyone else. Everyone is the same; no better, no worse.

to treat white people and black people equally
In bed
Mainly it's about racism and unfairness between white and black people in the 1930s
They treated black people wrong b/c they had a different skin color they treated white people good because of there wealth
There were different types. Some of the people were nice but some of them agitated against white people.
they made the white people treat the black like white people and friends.
to treat white people and black people equally
In the 1930s racism was at one of its highest points. Black people were treated very poorly by white people because they believed that they were beneath them.
White people treated black people bad just because of their skin color. I personally think it was stupid of them because you are make accusinations you cant even back up!"Black people are stupid." "Black people can dance better." You are just sterotyping someone from their looks! What if I went up to a blondie and said she was stupid? Just because of her hair color? Would that be right? No! So even though white people still treat black people differt, its not right!
most black Americans will be proud and will think that the states treat people fairly to asians, black and white people.
It is an amazing book about the 1930s and black girl and her the little learns and that white people believe they're better still
