History of the women 111

Answer 1

The place for blacks and women are different from a white and male in the society. This illogical mindest came from practices in the ancient era. White people were more modern and blacks were living more like a rural life. This made an ego in whites and that continued to till today. But the thing is just human, whatever the colour is, everything on them are same apart the colour. In the history there are a huge number of blacks who made milestones. Still, the blacks are discrimanted without a reason. Just black.

The situation of women is worse. There were even practices of killing newborn babies when realizing it is a female. Even today there are people around who betray their child if born as a girl. Double Jeopardy had eplained it well in the work "To be black and female" about the mindset of human against the blacks and female. A beat from the society from the time of born itself to the whole life. There will be much to face form the society to live as a black and female in earth. No body knows why, but most of the human hates them.

There were many protests by commisions and unions against this habit. The second wave of women's movement was one big among this which stood long about 2 decades and found good results. But the result did only prevailed in a particular locality. No one can do a thing that can change this habit from the entire world.

We are witnessing the oppression of these colour and gender in many situations. There are situations where women are not allowed to enter or participate. There are places where blacks are not allowed to enter use certain things which belongs to whites. Discrimination is done even in the public distribution systems. There are situations where the whites are provided with good quality facilities and blacks and womens are denied. Today many rules and regulations are available with the hard battle done by blacks and womens which supports them, but still the problem is not wiped out and it wont as it is the human thing.
